Denise Merculio:I am always ready to cut anyone who doesn't know how to value me.Five missed calls from Nathaniel.Rrrrrrrrr~I got irritated on the sixth ring so I picked up my phone."What?"[Why don't you pick up my call?]"I'm taking a shower."[Taking a shower this late? Where did you go? Why did you leave without telling me?]But how should I answer him? I don't want him to know that I am upset. But I don't feel anything other than that. What to do..."I had diarrhea so I hurried back."[What's wrong?] I know what he means."It's fine. Don't mind me."[You can tell me everything. I am really worried about you, but I couldn't be with you because my senior wanted me to practice for the match. I am free now. Can I go to your apartment?]I want to cry. Damn it!"You don't have to come here."[...]“Nathaniel, I have a question."[What?]"Do you really like me?"[...] He did not answer me.All I heard was a deep sigh from the end of the line. I need an answer so I can make a decisi
It all ended with nothing. The sulking Nathaniel seemed to be happy now and is busy practicing football. Stephany has a lover so my mind is at peace. He is a senior of our club.As for the matter of him asking me to be his girlfriend, don't talk about it because it was just a joke. I did not take it seriously to the point of agreeing to be in a relationship with him even though I am still confused about my sexuality. I know I still like beautiful girls but let's wait for confirmation.But forget all the doubts right now. Because at the end of the day, everyone is looking forward to the match between Engineering and Political Science. After arguing the last time at the shop, I haven't seen Nathani and his friends because they are training double time.As for me, my heart really wants to find time to practice the guitar because Miss Khaycee will surely insult me again. But I don't know what to do because I have to juggle my time studying and practicing cheerleading until the end of the
The main event which is the match between Political Science and Engineering is happening. Duties of the university cheerleaders just like me is to walk in line to dance to the opening march. The players are preparing on both sides of the field.Engineering team is wearing a crimson red football shirt while Political Science wore their signature white shirt.SCREAMS!On the field are the players of both teams that are actively running, doing warmups. We were done with our performance so we are now walking out of the field. For a second, I walked past the tall man of the university. The only sensation I felt was his warm palm that gently rubbed and patted my head. He walked straight as if nothing had happened.But for me, there is nothing much left. My heart who is resting peacefully beats so fast through my chest."What is Nathaniel doing? Yes, we see that!""That's not good!"It turned out that I was being killed by the looks of his fans. Their attention was quickly shifted when the o
Today is our practice for the performance as appointed by the seniors of the club. I am too tired to carry a guitar but I don't want to look weak nor sound like a darling so I have to bring it with me. I sat at the long wooden table and started practicing.I already chose a song for the performance - "This Love" by Taylor Swift. Chords are not so easy but there are some chords that I am still not sure of so I get stuck here and there. I want someone to help me practice the chords. But guess what? I might be crazy because I only think of him.And since he is the only one I thought who could help me with this, I picked up my phone and gave him a call. I don't know where he is right now. He may be practicing for the performance or maybe go training football with his friends.I waited for a while before Nathaniel answered my call.[What?] Wow! What a greeting!This good day is now turning into a bad day. I washappy then but now I am getting annoyed. I feel like I disturbed him or somethi
During the past week, I spent a lot of time doing activities such as practicing the guitar with the club and practicing cheerleading, at the same time, studying my subjects and preparing for the final examination this term. It can be said that the work is too much but I'm a cool girl so I won't allow this to wobble me at all. I am also looking forward to my happiness - Friday! Meaning, the next days will be Saturday and Sunday so I have all the time to sleep, bump, spin, work out or even hang out with my friends.It is three o'clock in the afternoon and our last subject just ended. My friends hurriedly packed our things to find something to eat near the building. As soon as we stepped out of our building, we saw someone pushing a member of the White Lion gang at the corner of the building.Nathaniel and his friends' condition are no different from people attacked by dogs. And just like the day we met them, the front part of Roble’s clothes was smudged with various stains. I stared at
After cleaning his wounds, Nathaniel picked up a white T-Shirt to wear. I looked for painkillers so he can take it before turning on the TV. The show is about a male lead taking care of the female lead too. This is so wrong."Don't you want to sleep here tonight?""No. I'll just watch TV. Go to sleep now." I leaned against the head of the bed while wobbling my feet. Nathaniel lay down beside me but not far apart."Don't hurry to leave.""Yeah. Maybe late night until you fall asleep."We did not talk about anything after that. I keep on pressing the remote to find a good channel. Since I can't find a good channel, I turned off the TV.I checked the person beside me but to my surprise, Nathaniel is not there. So, I stood up, dragged my feet to the balcony and saw a tall man, cross-legged on the floor with a guitar in his hand."Your hands hurt. Don't play the guitar just yet.""I'll try to play your song just in case you'll have some problem.""Just be careful." I said it with my mouth
After a week, Nathaniel's body is almost healed. But I still don't know the reason why the seniors did that to him.Nathaniel’s friends is no different. Roble has a broken jaw so he can't eat rice for many days. Dim have broken wrist, fingers, and shoulder flaws. They are stumbling to go to school for a week. Most people have doubts on what happened but since the external wounds are not showing that much, there is no issue to discuss.In the past days, I spent a lot of time rehearsing for the song to be played on our performance. Nathaniel, after a break from playing the guitar, returned to practice twice as hard as before because he is afraid that he won't catch up with his friends. Everyone is playing in groups. I am so excited and at the same time, also afraid thatI might mess up the performance. Although Nathaniel comes and trains me every day before going back to my dorm. Still, no one can guarantee that the show will not fall bad."Hello everyone. We are from the Music Club. We
Nathaniel’s POV (point of view)“Will you be my girlfriend?"Denise seems to be in shock. I pictured her like a frozen penguin. I did not blink at all when her eyes were staring at mine. Probably because she did not know if she should turn her head and look at anyone after that.Roble and my other friends are still standing there, smiling at the bottom of their hearts. After I saw them, I wanted to punch them in their faces and walk away.What did you just do? Don't ask me because you just made Denise look like a fool."Let's go off stage.""...". That's fine if you can't answer yet. I held both of her hands to help her stand up from where she is sitting. I did not expect any answer; whether it's positive or negative, because getting out of this situation as fast as possible is the best thing to do.Sometimes, I only think about my feelings and disregard others. Just like what happened moments ago. But hey! It is still cool. Those bad guys are good in real life. They just have bad ide
