20| long days

Serine***Fortunately, the passed few days had gone pretty smooth and I hadn't unnecessarily been stressing on things.I obviously kept visiting my dad on a daily and it was the same old news. Talking to a person, with their eyes closed on a hospital bed I think was definitely a torturous thing because the person was truly still alive because of a man-made machine.It was like talking to the dead who was still living.Did that make any sense?Even if I didn't, it surely wasn't a pretty feeling.I sighed, leaning my head against the wall staring at my wardrobe, puzzled. It was like I didn't know who I was, I didn't know who these clothes belonged to because I didn't even know where to start. It was just another day of me going to school but for some reason, something inside of me just said that something was going to happen. But I didn't know what.I shrugged it off and made my way to my wardrobe and I glanced at the window outside. They sky was already blue- it seemed warm and it

Serine***I must've been hallucinating.I should have been hallucinating.I wish I was hallucinating because I couldn't take this.This must've been a joke. But it wasn't, the four of them sat down and I honestly couldn't regret agreeing to this more than anything. "Karma." Someone whispered and I nodded. Acknowledging the fact like it was my last day living."How come you're no longer chatty?" I glared at the person who just said that and I caught him smirking. I thought about retorting but I held myself back- inhaling and exhaling slowly.From today on, I wasn't going to give him the pleasure of my anger. From today, I will stop entertaining him and actually be nice to him. All he wanted was my attention and it seemed as though that his favorite was the angry and snappy side of me but I wasn't going to give him that. For as long as I challenged myself."No because today I'm starting a new." All eyes were on me at this moment, some held confusion, some showed a little bit of curiosi

Serine***I browsed through YouTube as I kept walking slowly. "Can you stop looking at that phone? You'll bump into someone."I hummed and did as she said. I shoved the phone on the back pocket of my- oh, I wasn't wearing any damn jeans. I rolled my eyes and just kept the phone in my hands. We were currently at mall as we planned and I seriously didn't know why I wasn't participating in the shopping because my wardrobe was confusing me.I needed to buy stuff."Rine baby girl, check out this dress.""Really pretty. It'd suit you.""Dumbass, I love it for you." My forehead creased. "When have you ever seen me, on a regular day, wear a dress?""Never?""Exactly.""Well yes, I know. But it could be useful. I mean look at it. It's black, it's silk, come on." I tilted my head to the side- contemplating. "Okay fine."It was a cute dress. I mean sheesh, it was trending but- not that I don't wear dresses, it's just that I don't really like wearing them on a normal day.Does that make sense?A

23| new beginnings

Serine***"Guys I think we have company." Both heads snapped towards my direction and I was welcomed with a cough from Sarah. I smirked. "The universe seems to speaking to you guys." Levine smirked.I glared at her, sending her precious middle fingers with my eyes. Turns out, that the guys were here too.Yup. Alexander, David, Darek and Angelo.Angelo who was awfully quiet and right as I thought about him, our eyes locked. His dimple showed and right then and there I saw his paper white teeth. I smiled back. "Ahem," someone cleared their throat and I look to see that it was none other than Alexander.I rolled my eyes, shaking my head and jugged down a little bit of my coffee. I ignored him and took my seat next to the girls. "May we?" David rose his brow, eyes locked with Levine's. Instead of her saying something back, as I expected her too, she looked away.Did I miss something?Sarah seemed to not notice because her eyes were fixed on the dry fruit that was in front of her. I never

24| shivers

Serine***I felt my body in the air and I had to be honest, It was scary and liberating at the same damn time.I don't know how that went together but it seemed to have right now.The wind brushed against my skin and I loved it. It felt amazing. It was like escaping for a short amount of time but even though it was short, it was so much more worth it.It was only me and the wind.My worries, my heart aches were gone. That's how I felt every time I sketched. I was expected to drop like nobody's business, but I screamed. I screamed at first and it felt- again, liberating. From something that I was so afraid of facing, it was honestly one of the best things I had done. I could actually say that.It was over and I felt them release something from my waist and what I did shocked me.I ran towards a figure who had already went his turn and engulfed them in a hug. I felt them freeze but the I felt arms wrap around me.I felt safe.I felt grateful.I felt amazing.I felt like I was free.An

25| yesterday

Serine***Once I was done washing my face, I allowed my skin to absorb the water and while I waited. I brushed my teeth for a good 3 minutes and used the water to rinse my mouth once I was done- I dried my hands on the towel that was hanging off the hook and prepared to take a shower.Once I stripped off everything that was on my body, I tied my hair up in a bun and allowed the hot water to ease my muscles.The guys had left soon after- after the- after six and the girls had slept over as we had planned. I felt like it was going to be a healthy Tuesday and I hoped for the best.***"You're glowing." I furrowed my brows with my lips stretched. "Now way.""Yes way." Sarah voiced herself too. "What happened yesterday?" I froze."What's yesterday- what do you mean what happened yesterday? Did I miss something?" Sarah squinted her eyes at me. "Something happened and you don't want to tell us." My jaw dropped slightly and I looked at both of them, my expression, baffled."Uh, wait a minute

26| there's a fine line

Serine***Impatiently I began drumming my fingers and kept glancing at the clock every 2 seconds. Hoping that the bell would just ring any moment.5 minutes Serine.Just five more minutes. Chill.But I absolutely couldn't. I don't know what was out there for me ever since Alexander told me to meet him after his practice, it hasn't left my mind.Another thing that just refused to leave my mind was that night. Where I kissed him. I, the person who hated Alexander's guts from the first day, I kissed a few months later.Why?You're asking who exactly?aaannnd she woke up. Duh, myself. I rolled my eyes. Allow me to ask, why else would a girl kiss a boy she never liked in the first place?I don't know... maybe it was on impulse. That's really all you got? You still haven't realized that you like him.I snort.All heads in my homeroom snap in my direction- including Mr Rossini who was giving me questioning look through his spectacles."May I ask what the joke is?"Perfect. Look what you

27| the victim

Serine***"Of course I came. You told me to come here didn't you?""Yes I did, but your capricious, princess." I squinted my eyes but nodded agreeing. My palms were a bit sweaty and I was feeling hotter than I thought I was.I didn't know if it was just me or it was because of how I was suddenly feeling around him. There was nothing I could easily retort to because all that was on my mind was that I liked him.Mentally I was sending a temporary goodbye to the sassy and snappy Serine because I had something I wanted to tell him.And that I was evidently how I felt. "How was practice?" I started off low-key. "Whoa..." he stared at me. For too long may I add, his was slightly beaming. "W-what? is there something on my face or what?""No," he answered softly. His lip slowly curving up and my stomach flipped. "I just- this is a surprise." I furrow my brows. "What is?"Call me slow people, call me slow. "This. The way you're acting is like another person has taken over you but with the s

28| the victim

Serine***"Oh my God I promise I am going to kill you." I glare at the person who's next to me. "I haven't even done anything," they say and I give the 'really now' look."You have been doing everything I told you not to. ""Correction my dear," he starts off. "you never told me- you just said what you said but you never specifically forbid me from doing anything." I squint my eyes at him. "Fuck." I shut my eyes in pure annoyance. "Alexander you are so damn annoying." I growl."I never asked for you to come, you offered and because of your persistence, that was beyond me, I agreed. And you come earlier than you were even supposed to." I say. "I just wanted to see you." I hum in response and fix my hair as I check myself in the mirrors reflection. I was dressed in a simple baggy jeans and a black cami top and I obviously paired the fit with sneakers and a denim jacket. "I swear you manage to fit in everything." he says popping at the back of me and I glance at him through the mir

29| love

Serine***"I wanna go home,""Me too, I'm tired,""Correction, fucking tired," I sit down on the nearest bench and I sigh. It was hot. And when it is hot, unexpectedly, my energy drains faster than it usually does. I slapped my palm onto my forehead as I pant like I ran somewhere. I began feeling a movement on my belly and I knew I had a huge appetite.Only for me to spill my guts later."I need to eat? I just- someone? Anybody?""You need to eat someone?" I somehow find the energy to glare at Levine as she shrugs. "What?" I shake my head and look back up the ceiling. "Did someone make an order?" I narrow my eyes and spot a tray of food in front of me. I look up to the person who had the tray in hand and like a fool, I unintentionally grin. "Life. Saver babe." The second I said that, all eyes were on me.My eyes slightly widen, "That was, a total mistake." I realize. "You just called him 'babe'." I look to the person who had just said that.Thank you so much Sarah. I sigh, givi
