Friday came and I could totally say that my mind is stress-free right now. After taking our exam in Piano Skills I, I invited Matt to hang out with me in the fountain.
“Where is Stacey?” Matt asked as he chews vigorously his corndog.
“Oh, she is with Ethan, her crush, asking him to be her buddy?” I trailed off and looked at the blooming view in this garden.
“Damn. We need more Stacey in this world.” I looked at Matt hesitantly.
“Alayna, a French boy is looking for you.” Karen called out while I was in my room. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time, pale as ever, but my wardrobe improved a little as Karen lend me some of her old dress. But I still prefer to wear a pair of chucks instead of that two inches high-heel she was suggesting.I went downstairs and found Matt comfortably sitting on our couch.“You are stunning.” Matt went to me then he took my hand.“Matt, take care of my daughter.” Karen emerged from the kitchen and she was eating a… is that a croissant? “And this croissant tastes
“Lay, what have you done?” It was Stacey, her eye brows furrowed. We were on the bus stop, waiting for the bus to come. I just leaned my head on the post and closed my eyes for a bit.“Nothing. I just didn’t get enough sleep during weekends.” I answered lazily. This is because of Lucas Nielsen, who kept pestering my mind with his sudden I miss you on me. I couldn’t sleep properly. My heart is being weird every time I will recall that scenario. I know for a fact there are dark circles under my eyes. Th
Tomorrow morning, I’ve decided to buy Stacey a gift for her birthday party later. It was nice that her birthday is a holiday here in Torshavn, meaning, there are no classes for today.I simply wore a black top, denim jeans, and a hoodie. Karen was with William in the wet market, so I just went out and walked myself in the bus stop.I have three gift choices for Stacey, I have this in mind since last week. I took out my mini-notebook, containing the list of gifts for her and read it one by one.First, I thought of giving her a hair clip. I find her very pretty when her hai
“Ethan.” I called out.“Hey, is Stacey here?” Ethan asked, he seems hesitant. Or maybe he’s just being shy… He is carrying a box, a gift for Stacey for sure.“Yep. Come on in.” We both made our way to our table.“Dude. Nice to see you in here.” Matt welcomed Ethan with a shake hand.“I’ve decided to come, even though she didn’
I gathered my things on the table and started putting it all back in my bag."It's a miracle that Ms. Pedersen dismissed us early." Stacey told me in a singsong voice, as she put her things on her bag as well.I grinned at her. "Better late than nev
"Honey, how would you feel if you ever saw your father again?" Karen's voice was calm as she continues, then I focused my attention to her."It would be delightful, mom. You do know that I'm not holding any grudges from my father. Besides, I really miss him."
"Oh, so you don't see Charmaine at Alayna, huh, Matt?" Lucas mentioning my name, it made my heart beat. I'm really involved in their conversation..."The hell, Nielsen... no." Matt said, obviously annoyed at Lucas."Are you sure? Because the last ti
“Get yourself together, Alayna.” I told myself as I gripped the sink on the ladies comfort room in the school. I am having a hard time to breathe, again. These past few days, this is always happening to me. It feels like, there is something blocking my heart that I couldn’t much feel my heart beat.The fact that my dad is here with us, I don’t want him to worry about me. I want to be happy as if nothing’s wrong with me.Get yourself together, please!I went out and my mind is not in the right state right now. It was consumed by fright, pain, and sadness. I heaved a sigh, and then suddenly I bumped with someone that
Lucas tiptoed his feet as they climbed upstairs. He was holding a cake in his other hand, while his son's hand on the other."Mommy won't like this. She hates waking up at midnight." Blue, their first born, said in a grumpy tone of voice.He wanted to laugh, because he knew that Blue was the one who hates waking up at this hour. But for sure, his son will be much annoyed at him. And a hundred percent sure, he won't cooperate with him anymore.
Three years later."Shh, little Quen. Here... here's your milk." I immediately grabbed the bottle of milk beside me, and let little Quen have his milk.I closed my eyes in frustration when he ignored me and continued on weeping."Oh, little Quen. Please stop crying, please, please. I need to go, now." I've wanted to cry together with him in frustration.
The sun was just about to rise when I left the house. After everything had happened, I forgot that I still have some things in my locker. So I've decided to finally take all of it.As I approached SOMA, the sun was up already. It felt kind of heavy to be here again. There were tons of memories flashing in my mind.The campus was filled with birds' noises. It's a weekend, therefore there were no students roaming around the school.When I saw the
“As days passed by, we became the best of friends. We were inseparable, really. We went to school together, eating lunch together, even in our school play we were in it, together. Then I thought, having someone you call as a friend, it felt amazing. It was surreal, maybe because she was my first friend for my whole 18 years of existence here.” I gazed at Peter, his face was calm but I could see sadness through his eyes.“I could say that Stacey is the epitome of happiness. If you ever tried to be with her even for just a minute or so, you’ll feel comfortable in her side…” I let out small laugh.
I’ve witnessed an angel sets her majestic feet here on earth.Never expected this angel would appear in my existence.As this creature spread her wings,
With just three rings, he answered it immediately. I noticed that he just came out from the company he's working in. Roger greeted me joyfully, he badly wanted to go in here with Brook and his children to celebrate with us, but unfortunately, there's a project for him that needed to be finished immediately because of being absent for two weeks.I truly understand my dad. And I am so glad for him to greet me even just a phone call. Brook and Thorn, who were both in the house, joined the video call to greet me as well. Thania wasn't there, because she flew back in California to take her exam. But she sends her regards at me through a text message.As
"Happy birthday, to you. Happy birthday, to you." Karen, William and Lucas chorused as they sing the Happy Birthdaysong for me.They were all wearing a color red shirt, with matching party hats in their heads. Lucas was the one holding my cake with a number 18 candle on the top of it. I cannot help not to show a sunny and childlike smile to them.This was the exact picture as I celebrate my other birthdays. Me lying on the bed, watching myguestsas they pour their heart singing just to see me smile. But this year's a bit di
“It’s alright, baby. Let it all out.” Lucas tried to comfort me with his words. I sat down on the floor, my body felt weak and emotional right now.There is no one that could save me.Then I just felt my tears falling uncontrollably onto my face. Lucas was there to catch me in his arms.“Come on, get up. We’ll get you the hospital.” Lucas nuzzled closely to me, but I pulled myself from him.“Luc
Of course, both of my fathers’ thought of something to torture Lucas, and by torture they meant is to play Jengga with their hands dipped in iced cold water before they have their turns. If my Lucas lose, and I quote from: “Thee des’rve not our daught’r, and we might not but strip off thy labeleth as h’r own boyfriend.” You don’t deserve our daughter, and we must strip off your label as her boyfriend.Well, thankf
