NINETY-TWO: AN ENEMY IN DISGUISE.

TRAVIS LEWIS I was expecting a text from only one person and it was no one but Britney. A text regarding the little breakfast I sent to her. Left to me, it wasn’t that much of a big deal but knowing the type of person she was, she probably figured out it was me rather easily and was going to try to reach out to me in response. But much to my surprise and disappointment, the second my phone buzzed, it wasn’t a text from her. But a text from August. August: Have you heard the rumors going around? August: About you and your stepsister. I could list at least a dozen texts I was expecting from him if he decided to text me. Half of them were probably going to be him nagging me about making sure to not miss the paper scheduled for tomorrow and the other half would be him asking me what exactly happened at home to warrant me suddenly going MIA. Whichever one it was going to be, I was confident I wasn’t going to reply any of them until he decided to actually force me to reply wheth

NINETY-THREE: TRAVIS.

BRITNEY ASTON I knew I couldn’t avoid it any longer. The conversation I’d been dreading for so long. The confrontation. Having another discussion with my mum regarding Travis and everything that happened. I’d been stylishly avoiding it for days and finally, that phase was over. It was finally time for me to actually face it all. “Talk?” “Yes, talk,” she nodded and pat the empty space beside her. “Come, sit.” My steps were sluggish as I dragged myself towards the sofa, taking forever before I finally plopped into the seat. Sinking in a deep breath, I wrapped my arms around my bag and slowly turned to face her, doing my best to avoid his gaze. “Britney,” she cleared her throat before beginning. “Britney, I know I haven’t been the best mum out there. I was a selfish mother who thought only about herself and nothing I saw would be able to justify my past actions. Yes, I was hurt by your dad. Yes, he completely broke me. But that was no excuse to neglect my daughter and break her

NINETY-FOUR: FACE ME.

TRAVIS LEWIS Lucas and I locked gazes for a while, our eyes doing all the talking. His brows were raised, his gaze demanding. He was indirectly asking me what I was doing at his place and in response I gave him a blank stare, my mind now thinking about the possibilities of him being the actual reason I was supposed to be at the house. “What are you doing here?” He finally spoke up again, the silence beginning to last too long. “Why are you here? To see Amber?” “I didn’t come here to “see” her,” I replied him. “I came here to ask her something. Confirm something.” “What?” Something in his eyes flickered as he immediately took a step towards me. “You’re here to- wait a second, are you here to accuse Amber? Of what happened? You think she told the whole school about you and Britney?” “I don’t know it’s a possibility,” I shrugged. “It could be anyone.” “Have you lost your mind, Travis?!” He raised his voice, his nostrils flaring. “Amber would never do something like that.”

NINETY-FIVE: TO YOU.

TRAVIS LEWIS I genuinely wished I could just ignore the fact that I had exams to write despite all the chaos going in my life but it just wasn’t my decision anymore. Glancing at my phone in hopes of a new message in response from Britney, I groaned as texts from my friends reminding me not to miss my exams flooded my inbox instead. With another groan, I flipped my phone over and focused on driving, getting to school in no time. I purposely parked my car at the parking lot farthest from my faculty so I could use the time spent in walking to my faculty to look for Britney and at the same time, gauge the state of things. I was already used to attracting whispers whenever I walked so it was nothing to me. The eyes that followed me didn’t feel new neither did the necks that turned with every turn I took. It all felt oddly familiar, my thoughts shifting to Britney once again. She probably wasn’t used to all that attention. It was probably hard for her. Suffocating even. And she was ju

NINETY-SIX: A LISTENING EAR.

BRITNEY ASTON Travis: Britney, can we talk? Travis: How are you? Travis: How are you doing? Travis: Do you want to talk? Travis: I’m so sorry it got out like that. I know you weren’t ready to tell everyone about us. Travis: How’s your mum taking it? Travis: How are you taking it? Travis: Do you want me to come over? I don’t want to talk to my father but I could sneak in at night Travis: Britney… Travis: Are you okay? Travis: I’m sorry. Travis: Would I see you at school today? Pressing my head against my pillow, I heard my phone vibrate, a soft groan immediately escaping my lips. Without checking it my quickest guess was the vibration signifying another text from Travis, my stomach churning in response. I returned home the previous night and much to my disappointment, he wasn’t home as I expected. Unsure of what exactly I was expecting, I simply went to my room and slumped into my bed, only for my phone to begin vibrating over and over, suddenly flooded with texts from hi

NINETY-SEVEN: SILENCE.

BRITNEY ASTON “She’ll come around.” I looked at Lucas and sighed, his reassuring smile beginning to have its effect on me. He sat next to me and listened to everything I had to say. My every rant about how Elle had found out about Travis and I and how she wasn’t willing to talk to me by ignoring all of my texts. “Are you sure?” “She’s just shocked,” he nodded. “She probably didn’t see it coming so she’s taken aback. Remember I didn’t take it so easily too. I was unreasonable, harsh and said a couple of insensitive things. So just give her some time. She’ll come around.” “Yeah, I guess so,” I muttered, finally able to reason with him. “Thank you, Lucas. For everything, really.” “Well, you’re welcome,” he glanced at his wristwatch and immediately rose to his feet. “And I also need to get going.” “Oh, you should,” I quickly joined him on his feet. “It’s getting late.” “I’ll see you around then?” He flashed a final smile and waved. “Take care of yourself.” “I will.” I escorted

NINETY-EIGHT

BRITNEY ASTON The week went by in a blur, my days filled with the monotonous cycle of me going to school and heading back home. Another thing that remained the same was Elle ignoring me. Proving Lucas wrong, she still clearly had no intentions of talking to me. We walked past each other at the hallways, bumped into each other at the cafeteria and walked into the same exam halls every single day. Yet, she pretended I didn’t exist. It was torturous enough and to make it worse, Travis also seemed to have vanished. He had suddenly stopped texting me and It was like the universe was colliding with everything around me as there was absolutely no trace of him around. The familiar places I used to steal glances of him now felt empty, my brain forcing me to get used to a life without him. “God, can these exams be over already?!” My thoughts were interrupted by an unfamiliar voice, my lips pursing in response. Though the words weren’t directed to me, they perfectly described my every e

NINETY-NINE: THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

BRITNEY ASTON “And that’s a wrap. The semester is finally over!” Chaos erupted in the hallways and classrooms as the words echoed in the air. Students spilled out of every corner, their voices rising in a crescendo of joy and relief. It felt like a dam had broken, releasing weeks of pent-up stress and anxiety into a sea of celebration. After what felt like an eternity, we were finally free from the grip of exams. The semester had been a long, winding road, filled with unexpected twists and turns. I looked around, noticing faces I didn’t even recognize, all sharing in the same exhilaration. Strangers laughed together, bonded by the shared ordeal that had finally come to an end. “Party at your place? Cool. Everyone, party at Frank’s!” Another wave of cheers rippled through the crowd, a new reason for them to rejoice. But not me though I had no intention of joining the festivities. The thought of being in a noisy, crowded room made my chest tighten. I just wanted to escape, t

HUNDRED: ILLUSION

BRITNEY ASTON By the time I got to Travis’, it was a little past 7pm. My heart thudded heavily in my chest, each beat reverberating in my ears, amplifying the nervous energy coursing through me. I hesitated for a moment, my hand hovering above the gate, as an inexplicable mix of anticipation and dread settled in my stomach. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the gate open and stepped inside, the sound of the creaking hinges echoing in the stillness. His car was parked in the driveway, my pulse quickened at the sight and suddenly my palms felt clammy as if they couldn’t quite contain the magnitude of the emotions stirring within me. I hadn’t seen him in days and ignored all texts from it so it did it feel a bit awkward. But it was nothing I couldn’t work with, judging from how much I missed him. I had missed him—missed him so much that it hurt, a dull ache that had refused to leave my chest since the last time I saw him. “Travis?” I called out, my voice barely above a whisper a

HUNDRED AND ONE: THE LETTER.

TRAVIS LEWIS She was smiling. She had the most radiant smile on her face, her cheekbones raised, her eyes alive. Her cheeks were slightly colored in the familiar shade of pink, her lips in an equal shade of pink, stretched. I could spend forever in that moment, staring at her eyes and listening to the sound of her laughter. Every moment felt precious as my eyes and hands caressed her face, each touch of her skin under my fingers reminding myself of how much I missed every single thing about her. “I missed you, Britney.”“You’ve said that a million times now,” she chuckled and wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me closer to her. Her warmth seeped into me, soothing the ache that had been gnawing at my chest for so long. “I missed you too, Travis.” “Do you even have any idea how hard it has been without you?” I continued, watching her reduce the distance between us by drawing closer towards me, our breaths mingling. “I was worried. I know I wanted a bit of time to figure thin
