-FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS- The ambiance was that of a small cafe, with a few tables and chairs spread out in the room. The walls were painted a pale yellow, and there were several framed paintings of landscapes and still-life scenes hanging on them. The lighting was dim, and the air was filled with the scent of fresh coffee and baked goods. Soft jazz music played in the background, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. Jill and Wayne were seated at a small table near the window. They were surrounded by other patrons, some reading newspapers, others chatting with friends, and a few typing on laptops. It was clear that this was a popular spot for people to come and unwind. As Jill and Wayne talked, the sound of their voices mixed with the gentle hum of activity around them. Jill's words were laced with a hint of frustration, while Wayne's were filled with surprise and innocence. Despite the tension between them, there was a sense of comfort in their conversation, as if they were old friends
--JM, Aprilâs boyfriend -- It wasnât ber months but why does those air feels cold? âToday was a hectic day, Jill!â April complained. There was a long sigh as she plants her head on her best friendâs shoulder. She looked weary and restless. âMaâam Abueg is such as sadist! She gave all those difficult activities without even giving us more examples.â The two was on their way home, the tricycle was the daily form of commute especially they were miles away from school. They passed the endless road covered with rice paddings. The mountain was shaped perfectly and one would gaze at itâs majestic peak but for them, itâs nothing new. The rocky road track that government promise to fixed last election, the barking dogs that kills little children and even the creepy eyes as you walked alone. Thatâs one of the reasons why they commute on a day-to-day basis.
âThe door which they called for helpâ Some memories are inked into oneâs brain, unable to erase or remove it. âHeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!â A wailing voice was heard at the end of a hallway. âOpeeeeen the doooor!â It was a sorrowful and blue echo of voices. Everything was dark and gloom but the pathway was visible even though wasnât present light. âSomeone please! Open the door!â They continued to ask for help. The sound came from the door on the other side. He was being called to open it, despite the huge sign that says stop! Do not open it. It kept asking for help. The longer he waits, the desperate the call was. âOpen the door, let us through!â The voice never stops. âHeeeeeeelp meeehâ He knew the familiar voice, the irritating voice that he regrets to hear. It wouldnât stop pleading for help. He felt a heavy weigh on hi
-- They look good together -- âYou look pretty exhausted,â said Jill with worried look on her eyes. She offered to check his body but Wayne politely declined. She looked down and pouted, she wanted to know the problem but he was very distant. âYou sure this would work?â Wayne asked. He looked sweaty with blurry eyes but he didnât want to missed out the classes. He can still feel the ache from his wounds, the sore was still there, but the beat up face is almost fixed with strips of unnoticeable wounds thus he wore a mask today, he also brought a hoodie just in case. They were avoiding Anastasia, who was looking for him since yesterday. âYeah of course! Not a long-term alternative but works for now. Also be careful, she swore to kill you. I heard those words yesterday.â She told Wayne. Jill grabbed his hand, he looked at her confusingly. âBe safe okay?â âYou donât have to worry that much
- April and Wayne - âListen! Itâs not like I want to join you, Jill just forced me to be here.â April exclaimed. Their teacher gave them an activity to work on it pair up and April didnât expect that Jill would push her to Wayne. April looked at him, the guy is looking good but certainly not her type. She sighed as she accepts the fate her best friend brought upon. She glances to where Jill at, she seemed to be busy Rita. April returned her eyes to Wayne, she caught him staring at her before averting his eyes. It couldnât be more awkward if the silence remains for more hours but April couldnât care less. Another gush of sigh before turning her head around. Itâs better not to stare at him and get over this immediately. But as her eyes wandered around, she felt something, a soft giggle made her turn back her eyes to Wayne whom she confirmed staring at her. âWhat?â She asked in dumbfounded tone. âNothing?â
- The scumâs wish- April made a choice to tell him. Even though she knew less about him, it was a spur of moment decision to trust him. The teacher already left with instruction in the board, some were already starting the activity while other are likes, chatting or frolicking around. Wayne watched her as he waited for her answer, his eyes was fixed at her as April nervously exhaled. âW-well, t-this, I meanâ she finds it difficult to start her sentence. She had doubts inside her, but she realized thereâs no reason to be afraid of. In the first place she had wondered why she kept it a secret. âWhy donât we keep it as an open secret?â It was her own words few years ago when they just started dating. âIâm really embarrassed talking, y-you know me I never imagined dating or whatever.â She told Jm. But a lot of years has passed and it was kept that way. âI donât have re
-RECESS TIME- âJill! I missed you!â April leap and pounced to Jill she hugged her tight as if they never seen each other for a very long time. MAPEH is over, itâs understatement but most students have done their task already and submitted it to Goshe. âHi Rita!â she glanced at the girl reading book and smiled before she gave all of her attention to Jill âUgh! Let me go April, donât exaggerate!â Cringed, Jill tries to free herself but April having a body advantage remained dominant. âNoooooo, this what you deserve for leaving me!â She locked her arms and squeeze her tight. âDid you know? That was unexpected:â âEeeeeeeeck, leeeeeeeeeet meeee gooooo Iâm sorryâ Jill apologized. âLet me go already, come on!â âNope, I wonâtâ But April laughed and held her even stronger, âApologize not accepted dummy.â âEeeeeeeeh,
-Is this canteen or hell?- âIs that Wayne?â said one of the girls from their class. âAre they bitching on him?â The other mutters. They were all surprised to see the mysterious young man, with cold eyes and timid aura was hanging out with bunch of noise maker in their class. Especially the girls who had crush in them felt defeated. âMaybe heâs dating one of them?â One of them exclaimed. âI think itâs April, I saw them being lovey dovey during class.â âOh yeah, Iâve also seen them, Wayne kinda kissed her in the cheeks they weâre flirting in the back.â The other agree. As soon they left the room rumors already spread in the entire classroom. From dating to getting pregnant thatâs how quick it spread like a wild fire in forest. Wayne was in between April and Jill. He looked around, people there are a lot people.
