“Even though I survived the fall off the cliff, the moment my eyes collided with yours, I fell into your abyss. My Nyx.”

She took in his confession as she looked down at him. His posture made her feel as though she were the one in power and he was the one at her mercy.

“You don't know me,” she said.

“What more must I know about you? Enlighten me

  • Don't Take Me Lightly   40. NOT ME

    The night was young. The three of them had set out together towards the building where the festivities were taking place. As Mei had predicted, they weren't enjoying themselves.“We're only a year older. How can we have already outgrown this?” Xue asked.“I think this is cringe,” Mei said. Watching all the foolish games made her gag.“I guess I was the only one who never really liked this sort of thing,” Lin stated.“Hopefully, it'll be someone's night,” Xue said.They all decided to head out.“Where to?” Lin asked.“There’s a wings place right outside the campus. Let’s head there!” Mei suggested.“Good! Food is always the best,” Xue agreed as they all walked out of the campus.They had barely made it past the gate when they spotted three guys surrounding a completely drunk girl. At first, they seemed to be helping her. Mei watched them for a little longer, but Xue and Lin were already tugging at her, eager to get to the wings restaurant.The girl seemed completely wasted. The guys su

    Nina and Mei were enrolled in different courses. Nina had her mind set on business, while Mei was majoring in design. Classes were slow-paced on the first day, leaving everyone with some room to breathe.Xue was running late, too. Typical of her.Halfway through the class, she sneaked in and took the seat beside Mei.“The traffic, I swear,” Xue whispered.Mei shook her head, not believing a word she said.It wasn't long before the class ended. They packed their belongings and began walking out.“What about Nina?” Xue asked.“I thought we all had this class together. Wasn't this her elective?”“Yup, it was. She's in class with my brother. They managed to work out a schedule that lets them spend time together, so…”“Why am I not surprised?” Xue asked with a sigh.Mei merely shrugged.“So, Lin. Why didn't he join us? Wasn't he supposed to be there?” Xue continued.Mei stopped and thought for a moment. “That's right. Where was he? I left him with my brother. I have no idea.”“Well, I beli

  • Don't Take Me Lightly   38. SWEET MORNING

    Despite the sun and its rays, the fall had a chill of its own. The college was back in session, with a new semester beginning and a fresh start for many first year students.The path leading into the college was bustling with students. There were new faces, familiar ones, and even a few dressed in full goth attire. Students and staff arrived in cars, some rode in on motorcycles. The bicycles were also in the pciture as they whizzed past, seemingly oblivious to the speed limit.Mei munched on a chocolate bar as she walked, with Lin right behind her.Suddenly, Lin swooped in and pulled Mei out of the way of a speeding bicycle.“Hey! Watch where you're going!” Mei shouted, narrowly avoiding a collision.Her chocolate bar was now on the ground, along with her bag and books.She gathered her belongings, looking equally annoyed and heartbroken over the loss of her chocolate. Lin pulled another bar from his pocket and handed it to her.“Here you go.”“That one had a flavour of its own,” she

    Mei had called in the movers to come over to her place. She was taking only the essentials with her. Everything else, she planned to throw away.For convenience, she picked a café near her location and sent the address to Lin.Xue sat beside her, drinking the coffee Hui had bought while keeping an eye on her.'Let time take its course. She isn't going to understand, no matter what I say,' Xue thought.Once Mei was done, she picked up the lemonade and took a small sip. She relaxed for a moment before getting ready to leave.“I’ll drop you off,” Xue interrupted before Mei could say anything. Mei nodded, and they set off for the café.Mei arrived half an hour early for the appointment.Xue parked by the curb. Despite their early arrival, they could already see Lin waiting inside. His presence spoke of how desperately he wanted to have this conversation with her.Mei took a deep breath and got out of the car. Xue caught her by the arm.“Take care of yourself. I’m always just a call away.”

    “You are not coming in,” she stated as a matter of fact.“Why? We could pick up where we left off,” Hui said.“That is not happening. I will have to call the police if you keep this up.”“Fine, I’ll leave. At least take the flowers and the drinks.”“Take your feet out.”“Nope. Not until you take these,” he insisted.She snatched them from his hands.“Now. Feet,” she ordered.He pulled his feet out just in time. The door slammed shut in his face, missing his nose by an inch.He walked out of the building and stopped near the entrance, looking up at the balcony. To his delight, he found her watching him. A smile spread across his face as he waved at her.She was tempted to throw everything he had given her straight at his face, but she decided against it. Instead, she simply kept watching him.He turned and headed towards his car. Knowing that a pair of eyes was following him as he left filled him with an inexplicable joy. The familiar tingles returned, spreading through him all over ag

    The cool wind brushed against her as she dashed over the tall building roofs. Not far away she could see UM Apartments. She increased her speed as she headed towards its direction.The minimal small decorative artistic protrusions on the walls of the apartment, always made climbing easier.

  • Don't Take Me Lightly   7. TAMPERED

    The youthfulness of the night slowly started to fade as dawn crept in. Her apartment was minimal and aloof just as she preferred. The dark shades of black and grey paired with a bit of white gave off a boring and lonely feel. She was used to being lonely and she enjoyed how it left her with space
