Chapter 5.2: The Lion vs. The Gazelle
AUGUST
“August!” Rachel suddenly showed up at the door. She appeared to be concerned about my current state. I can’t think of any possible reason as to why she’s acting this way. Although it’s nice to have some stranger show a bit of unwarranted concern to me, still it’s bizarre for that person to be Rachel Curtis out of all people. Everyone adores this girl. She’s every guy’s dream to date and every girl wants to be.
“Hey,” I smiled at her as she inched her way closer to me.
“Thank goodness you’re okay!” She let out and hugged me tight as if we’ve known each other for so long. It isn’t the case but it puzzles me to think that she’s into me or something. She smelled like vanilla and daffodil though.
“Woah, Woah!” I spat as a surprising reaction. Mary and I exchanged some looks.

AMBROSE HAYLOCKA three-day suspension. A fu**cking three-day suspension on the first week of the school semester. That’s the only consequence that I’ve earned from beating the shit out of that newcomer. If I only knew I would just be suspended, then I would have bashed his head like a watermelon just like that guitar that I used yesterday. He made me look like shit even though he ain’t the real shit. I know he wasn’t the one who uploaded that clip on Mary Heights Files but he was the reason why I entered school this morning and some people are laughing at me. Phil even said he might just steal my high spot for being the most feared person in all of Mary Heights High. I don’t give a single fuck about being the most feared person here but I just want to keep that spot if I want to survive this hell. Being feared provides me with a lot of benefits that I needed. Money. Food. Protection. And the fact that no one wants to

AMBROSEI’m pretty much aware of the blatant disrespect that I’ve done to my brother’s grave but wherever he is right now, I don’t think he’s aware of the hell that he has been bringing to my life. I never truly met him in the flesh. All I know is he died when I was still a baby, at least that’s what my mother had told me. I blessed his grave with one last spit before eventually trudging away.I fished the house key from my pocket and entered at the backdoor instead of wasting what’s left of my energy by walking around the house. I turned the lights on and the hollowness of the house welcomed me with open arms. I immediately walked towards the fridge still hoping to see anything to snack on but there’s basically nothing left. There are five eggs, a few stalks of celery, three carrots, fruit juices and the rest are just sauces and condiments. I just poured myself a glass of cold water before dec

AUGUSTThe first Friday of the school semester came quicker than I thought. I woke up this morning and I feel ten million times better than how I felt during the first and second day. It is wild to ponder about how things have escalated so quickly in such a short period of time. I had to make some snappy adjustments to myself. I was just a simple nobody a few days earlier and now everyone at school knows who I am and what I did. Some are even calling me ‘The Usurper’ just because I made Ambrose’s suspension possible. I don’t think I’ve done so much to be called the usurper, to be perfectly frank, I just poked the bear.I was riding my way to school when suddenly, Rachel’s invitation flashed at the back of my head. I remember saying yes to her but deep down, I’m still skeptical about actually hanging out with them. First of all, I know Rachel is the only person that Ambrose cares for, an

AUGUSTNothing much happened during lunch except for the reality that my name was still hot and fresh on everybody’s lips. I’m pretty much aware of the underlying fact that this kind of attention will eventually cool down anytime soon. That’s definitely another reason why I need to hang out with the popular kids. Mary and the gang are obviously okay with me making some connections with the popular kids that they loathed and envied at the same time. I sat right beside Mary, and as usual, her mouth kept spitting sentence after sentence. She kept on making some allusions about our secret plan, however, I was consistent at shrugging it off of my shoulder. I pretended as if I don't have a single idea about what she was saying. I guess she’s just thrilled that I’m going to hang out with her crush. I secretly wanted to have a simple conversation about her having a crush on Rachel but the existence of Rock and Gustav prevented

AUGUSTRachel’s private karaoke bar is located at the top of this apartment building at the center of town and we have to take an elevator towards the twelfth floor. The place isn’t as big as I expected it to be, it is just as big as our living room and kitchen area, however, everything else met my expectations perfectly. The walls are painted with the usual cream hue while the frames are painted with black. I let my eyes roam around the place, taking a quick look at every angle as if I was this young boy lost in the jungle. The couch and most of the furniture are all made of lamé and they are glistening. Mary is really telling the truth when she said everything looks expensive, the paintings, the mini sculptures that are displayed throughout the place, and even the rugs and curtains. There’s an empty minibar beside a mini kitchen but most of the space is taken up by the karaoke area.“Welcome to

AUGUST“So did you kiss her or not?!” Mary sounded agitated over the phone and there’s only one reason why she’s acting like that. It was only eight-thirty in the morning when she called me just to gather some updates about what happened last night.I feel like I need more sleep but Mary can’t seem to wait until the afternoon to reach out to me. My head is banging and I’m pretty sure this is caused by the vodka that we had last night. We only had one bottle of vodka and that was enough to make us tipsy and frenzy. That’s the only second time that I’ve had alcohol but it’s the first time that I really felt the numbing sensation that people loved about it. I tried moving a little and I already feel like I’m going to die out of dehydration.“Hold on, Mary. Cut me some slack and let me get something to drink first.” I spat over the phone.“O

AUGUSTThe sun was just climbing its way above the Sunday horizon when I found myself sitting at our front porch while staring at my phone screen. Apparently, I’ve done something that’s worth regretting. I cannot freaking believe that I just sent all of these corny messages to the one and only Rachel Curtis, the most popular girl at school. Who am I kidding? She’s basically a goddess and I’m just a nobody dead hungry for this thing called popularity. I know I made a big mistake when I landed my fist on Ambrose but now I’m starting to think that playing with Rachel Curtis is the biggest mistake that I’ve made to top that. I really think I’m going somewhere for this small act of manipulation. I was well encapsulated in a conscious state of mind when I sent all of these text messages but now I’m starting to reap the feeling of regret. Every single word that I’ve said most definitely meant something

AUGUSTOur first break finally came and the first thing I did was to go to the usual spot where I found Mary, Rock, and Gustav all huddled up. They were all wearing their Monday faces which isn’t that much of a surprise. I would describe it as grumpy and tired. I’m getting confused as to why they look like they are so over this thing called high school life when they clearly don’t have anything to worry about. I am the one who has a lot of things to worry about. I guess I should be the one wearing those long and saggy expressions.“Hey guys,” I put on my cheerful face as I sat down right beside Gustav who was busy having his snack. “How was….” I was about to ask how did their weekends went but Rock cut me off.“So how was it?” Rock asked eagerly, his saggy expression changed to a better one.“How was what?” I asked just having a hint of what
