HIM ALL ALONG I LOST INTEREST; LIES
NICHOLAS:I strain from regrets of renting an apartment too far from school. Living in the city is expensive, and riding through the city every day added to my expense. The bill slate on petrol is one I have come to keep a record of, and it urgently demands a need to be cut, otherwise, I will drain out on its purchase and be forced to walk my way to school in a few more weeks.The school, well, has become adjustable. D'Caprias' scale of activities has been learned, and I have advanced from being called the 'new boy' by most of the students to the 'hot boy' title.Initially, I didn't plan on getting close to anyone, but after getting to know Wendy and Park, I also adjusted to accepting friends and gradually, we formed a circle of three friends.They aren't as bad as I thought. It's not their fault they were born into a life of luxury. They've merely grown up believing the world is an easy ride, which truly, is to them.I bonded with them though. And within a month of joining their frie
HIM ALL ALONG I AM A MESS
NICHOLAS:Larozo's unadulterated tenacity is his charm and strength, except I am too blind to see and welcome it for a second time or get myself involved with it again.Perhaps, I shouldn't have allowed my urges to take the best of me last night, or admit to him how good it was this morning. I have fueled his confidence that he now thinks he can flirt with me.With Larozo's continuous ogling, I pray Greg Bolt hasn't taken notice of us. He provoked the situation by leaning in to stand dangerously before my face, and at a regular timing, moving his gaze to devour my sweaty body. His lustful eyes were impossible to ignore. Uncomfortable with the intensity of his stare, I averted my eyes, and he took the moment to take back the towel. I glared in confusion and alerted for his next unknown intended action. Fondling the towel, he keeps smiling and teasing my patient. I became irritated and made a move to reclaim the towel, but Larozo is quite stubborn; he lightly smacked my palm and advan
HIM ALL ALONG SOME REMINISCING
GREG:The day hit me hard, and all I could do was lie unmoving in bed. It hurts. It shouldn't, but my heart chose to be broken. Anger, disappointment, or whatever it was—I felt lost.James sensed something was wrong but couldn't extract the reason for my sudden change in behavior. He asked throughout the drive back home, but received my endless sighs instead of words. I was weak and unreasonable. Soon, I would have to tell James the truth, but the truth was, there was nothing to tell. There is no logical reason for me to be affected by Nicholas' actions, yet I was.I ended up blaming James. I needed someone to blame other than Nicholas or myself. He talked me into joining him at the gym this morning. Dad equipped a large gym suite somewhere in the mansion, yet, he persisted to explore the city in my company.James and his friends are the only ones who use the gym in the mansion. I had initially thought he wanted me there with him, but then he mentioned wanting one in the city. I veto
HIM ALL ALONG A BAD DAY, GIVE ME A BREAK
GREG:Upon our arrival, James parked behind Dribble's car, and above a ten-story building depicting millions of worth. Atop the building, a large billboard proclaimed the title 'Your Fitness Complex.' The grandeur of the structure alone reflected the exclusive clientele it catered to—the likes of James and his friends.I felt a sense of impending doom. This venue is undoubtedly a magnet for paparazzi thirsty for photos. I assessed my chances of blending in with the squad without drawing attention, and they seemed slim at best. Walking in with a mask amidst a group of young billionaires would only attract more public scrutiny.The boys stepped out of the car and positioned themselves in a way that resembled a photo shoot, emanating an aura that matched the grandeur of the building. With such a display, I'm unavoidably doomed.The SUV drove past our vehicles and disappeared into the left corner of the building. Soon, the two bodyguards returned and respectively took a side of both Drib
HIM ALL ALONG LOVELY ANGER
GREG:As days went by, I found myself still trapped in a prison of anger. I avoided anything and everything related to Nicholas, except for the wallpaper in my room, which I couldn't bring my hands to remove. I convinced myself that I had put so much time and effort in the darkroom creating that stunning image. So, whether pissed on the model or not, I will not allow a petty emotion push me to discard a perfect work.At school, I withdrew from every activity that may involve seeing Nicholas. I ditched the swimming club too. I dedicated more time in the photography club which I invested in tutoring the newbies, thanks to the online classes, I became more advanced in the knowledge and skills.Frederick, on the ground of being helpful and supportive, tried to convert my interest to his club as well. He believed I had grown bored of the swimming club and needed another activity to fill my time. He didn't let a school day go by without extending an invitation. My eardrums suffered from h
HIM ALL ALONG CHEER DOWN TO MORE DISCOVERY
POV: WENDYD'Caprias is the perfect escape. It provided ample attention and engagement, giving me a taste of adventure and easing my years of loneliness.Then, there is Park. Our friendship started the moment we both joined the school. Park is a lively individual. It didn't cost him a sweat to win me into responding to him. Our friendship developed hugely in which many believed we've known each other since birth.Meeting Park on my first day in D'Caprias was a stimulating experience. He had returned to the country from England the same year, and as a greener in the land, he was slowly tailing on making friends. The pretty English boy found no one interesting until I came driving into the school. He said he had found me oddly intriguing and had told his mum that I will be his best new friend. And so it happened. We became inseparable. He knew everything about me—the struggles with my broken family and solitary existence. I didn't try to hide anything; I didn't want to. Being around h
HIM ALL ALONG VISITATION
WENDY:Through the mourning period of Park's deceased grandmother, I witnessed a side of him I had never seen before. He was visibly sad and vulnerable, and completely sank in his shell.He became less talkative and disinterested in doing anything. It was difficult for both Ms. Drown and I to handle him. His father was out of phase. He had traveled back to England upon the news of his mother's death and had made plans for his family to join him after Ms. Drown must've nursed Park out of the sorrow.I did a lot of nursing for my best friend as well even when I have no experience in consolation. I stayed at his house from dawn until nightfall, before returning to my isolation. I lent him my shoulder and listened as he told stories about his dear grandmother and expressed his regrets about not being able to say goodbye.Park couldn't bring himself to go back to school either. Hence I missed school with him; it wasn't that difficult to decide. He was the only reason school was enjoyable f
HIM ALL ALONG CAPTIVATION
WENDY:"Wendy!" Park's voice delighted from the other end of the phone. "Switch to video, I want to see your face, man,' he cried eagerly.I switched to the video without hesitation, "And how does my face look?""Cold as ever.""Thanks," I replied. We paused for a moment, smiling at each other. I debated whether to ask about the burial or not. He seemed happy, and I didn't want to change his mood. But I decided to take my chance. "What's up with you, Park?""Fine. It's boring here. And cold.""How is Grandma Isla?""Buried and rested," Park's voice conveyed that he had come to terms with his grandmother's death. I felt relieved that he was doing better."Okay. Send my regards to Ms. Drown.""Sure. Good to see you, Wen. You know I appreciate you, right?""Not so sure?"He smiled. He further asked about Grandpa Kosa and his condition, to which I briefed him and shared the good news. We discussed how we were spending the holiday without each other. Park was with his relatives and they
