Chasing Her Back

"Auntie! I just said that I bought food for the beggars. You know I'm a helpful person, so yes, that's where all my pocket money goes—Ouch, Auntie, that hurts!"I was holding my head when my Aunt's pulled my hair. It didn't hurt that much but I had to hold back because she's definitely wouldn't let me go.I don't know why she suddenly rushed me into the kitchen and immediately asked about my pocket. It was only now that she was so intrigued that's why I was so surprised.Couldn't Candy have said that? I simply shook my head. Even though she has a talkative mouth, she can't drop me like that. "Don't make me look like fool here, you child. I wasn't born yesterday just to believe on your lame excuses." She stared at me with wide eyes. "I know where your pockets go, Abigail. How old are you? You're only eighteen, and you want to get into a relationship?! You want to get pregnant in no time, aren't you?"I snorted at my Auntie's words. "You're terrible, Aunt Anne. If I have a lame excuses

"What are you doing Candy? You look like stupid." I was annoyed that her hand was constantly spinning around me.Her face crumpled and she crossed his arms in front of me, while her eyes are still glued to me.I just arrived. We don't have any practice today, that's why I came a little late— cut that out, not a little, I'm really really late. I didn't get into our first subject. The ending is that I wasn't able to take the quiz earlier. It's only twenty items but the points are big. I'll just go to my teacher later in that subject and ask for consideration so I can take the quiz. I can't down that 20 items, it's worth my grades for the final."Why you arrived just this time, Abigail, huh? You're an hour and a half late in our class. Don't tell me you came to Troy's building before taking our quiz?" She asked with wide eyes.I shook my head and pulled her away slightly so I could enter the room. We don't have a teacher for the second subject since she announced it that she is sick. But

"We're still in the first choreo, yet you're completely missing your part, Abigail. Can you still do it?"I held my breath and looked at Bianca, the cheerleading team leader at our school. It was obvious from her face that she was no longer happy about my countless mistakes. Me too; I don't like it anymore every time I make a mistake. It's tiring to repeat my part over and over again."I'm sorry, Bianca. I'm just not in the mood today, but I guarantee I won't be like this tomorrow." It tried to sound promising.She shook her head. It's like she's trying to absorb my words so that she can't be mad anymore."Don't apologize to me, Abigail. You should go to our team. They work so hard for this routine; they do a good job on their part, but because you have mistaken your part, they need to repeat it not just once or three times." She said this and turned to our group mates, who continued where we started and ended.It's like heaven and earth have joined me. My failure today is embarrassin

I couldn't accept Troy's words, so I quickly chased him after I returned to consciousness, and we were almost out of balance when I pulled him again. I could clearly see the mixture of shock and irritation on his face."Is there really no hope, Troy? I'm ready to court you again." I asked, depressed, as my eyes fixed on his face."Gail, I don't know how to say this to you without hurting your feelings so badly, but you heard me clearly. There really isn't much chance for you and me. I don't have any feelings for you; even if I tell you to take Jack out of my life, I know for myself that I don't really like you."I gasped. "That's unfair. Really unfair for me." I suddenly laughed. "I courted you for almost four years, and now you're going to answer like that? Tch, what else did I expect?" I shook my head. "I've been too complacent, but with your words today, it's like the truth just hit me."I wiped my tears and smiled at him."I wish you had said it sooner.""I already told you, Gail.

"I'm not happy about your sudden departure, Abigail. What if we're not prepared for this? What if we don't have a backup plan? How can we go ahead?""Calm down, Bianca. Let her explain herself to us."I bent down and just kept fiddling with my finger. I expected Bianca's reaction to be like this. But I didn't fully think that she would be this angry; that's why the nervousness rumbled in my chest.Nervous about my position in the group. I'm nervous for Bianca and nervous for myself that Bianca might not accept me anymore and just remove me from the group, even though it's the first time that I've lost myself. I know Bianca; she is a persistent person. As long as she can handle the things around her, she can make a plan immediately. And I'm afraid she'll see me as worthless to the group."Speak up, Abigail. You need to explain why you disappeared yesterday. We searched the entire campus; even in the senior building, you were not there. Some students approached us, saying that you were
