It was already six in the evening when a knock at the door came, and when Matthew opened it, Uncle Felix and Aunty Celeste stood outside the door, eyes both wide open in shock. "Matthew? " "Aunty, Uncle." "Oh my god." Aunty Celeste cried and wrapped her arms around Matthew, and Uncle Felux joined them, also crying. "You're alive. How did it happen?" "Come inside, and I'll tell you everything." Matthew opens the door wider to let them in. Uncle and Aunty settled on the couch while Mathew and I sat on the edge of Arabella's bed facing them. Matthew told them everything that happened since the day he woke up in the Hospital without any memory of us until the day he regained his memories. After he told them, Aunty Celeste was crying so much with Uncle's arms around her also crying. "I'm so happy that you're back now; without your daughter, I don't know what will happen to Abby after we receive the news that you are already dead. Lucky Arabella was with her." Matthew's
ABIGAILI sighed for the nth time, listening to my two friends boasting and blabbering about their boyfriends. How hot, and how a good kisser, sweet, loving, and a lot more. I cringe and twitch my lips, rolling my eyes in annoyance. Every day, these things I heard from my friends made me gag in disgust, especially when they talked about how their boyfriends stuck their tongues in their throats. Ewww!!!! Yuck!!!!I don't envy them. It just annoyed me to hear every single day. Mia changes her boyfriend every week, saying she can get any guy she wants with just a wink of her eyes, while Cora has lots of guys like her because of her feisty attitude. These two not to boast, but are very popular in our school, because of their beauty, that's not the only reason, they are also intelligent like me, that's why all the students wondered how they become friends with a wallflower like me.Yes, I'm intelligent, and my two friends said I would be beautiful if I changed my fashion style. Still, I do
MathewMy friends and I went to the mall to eat at the food court. Leo told us they served the most fantastic steak he ever tasted in his whole life. We were laughing and joking while walking inside the mall and quickly settled at the seat that was in the far corner away from the other."CLICK!!!! A bright light blinded my eyes for a few seconds, and my vision cleared; I saw a girl standing three feet away from me, holding her phone. She's wearing this oversized shirt, double the right size for her body, baggy pants, and a Converse. She tied her golden brown hair in messy buns above her head. I blink my eyes once, thrice, before everything that happened sinks into my mind. I quickly stood up, and My chair created a loud sound when it scratched on the floor. "Did you just steal a picture of me?" I asked, my eyes ready to strangle a girl before me. She blinked her eyes, and then slowly, she backed away. "No! No! You're not leaving." I muttered. "Until I smashed that phone on the cemen
ABIGAILI stood frozen near the closed door, scared. My sweat is now rolling down my back because of fear. Five pairs of eyes looking at me brought more fear all over my body."Miss, are you just going to stand there? One of them said. He has this mohawk hair and a bit bulky body. I jerked, startled. The tray that I was holding almost fell, but I was glad that it didn't because I was sure I was going to lose my job."I'm sorry, sir. Here's your drink." I slowly walk near their table and serve their drinks in front of them. He's handsome and hot, but why were his eyes fixed on me? Oh my god, I hope he won't recognize me."If you need anything else, sir, just call me." I hurriedly went to the door, eager to leave. "Wait!!! More sweat formed on my forehead when I heard his voice. I'm going to die now. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before I turned around and faced them, wearing the sweetest smile I could master on my lips."Yes, sir?" He was looking at my face, and then he stoo
ABIGAILI groaned in annoyance and groggily turned off my alarm clock when it went off. My body still aches slightly because of sweeping the street and running yesterday. I lazily stood up, went inside my bathroom, and bathed. After that, I dressed up for school. I made a sandwich, stepped out of my tiny apartment, and locked it while eating my sandwich, walking toward the bus stop. This is my life since my only family died, my mother. My father, I don't know who he is, and I don't have a plan to find him. My mother died because of breast cancer almost two years ago, after two years of struggling with it. I did my best to earn money for her medication and Hospital bills, but nothing happened.I took a deep breath and wiped the tears from my eyes. My mom is the best in the whole universe. When I was young, she gave me everything I needed. She works starting from seven in the morning until two in the morning to earn money for our daily expenses. She has three jobs every day, but I neve
MATTHEWI groaned in annoyance when someone peeled a comforter off my body. I ignored it and pretended that I was still sound asleep. I still felt sleepy because I slept late last night thinking about that girl who stole a picture of me. What is her purpose for doing it? Is she connected to a kidnapper or some syndicate? I quickly bolted up from my bed when a pillow hit my head. "Andrew!!!! I hissed in annoyance. "Hurry and drag your lazy ass to the bathroom. Do you know what time it is now? We need to leave after thirty minutes. Go if you don't want me to kick your lazy ass toward the bathroom." I threw a deathly glare at him but stomped to the bathroom. I took fifteen minutes inside and sighed in relief when Andrew was not in my room anymore when I stepped out of the bathroom. I quickly dressed up with my black skinny jeans, plain fitted white shirt and top it with my black leather jacket paired with my black boots. It is our first day in our new school, Dream High University. I
ABIGAIL POV'sI slumped down on my seat between Mia and Cora, not minding to greet them as soon as I stepped inside our room. My body, as well as my legs and feet, still ache because of running, climbing, and jumping at the ten-foot wall for the first time in my life, and even I can't believe I did it. My god, that guy is something. It's just a damn single picture. He won't die because of it. If only I knew that damn picture would turn my life into hell, I never stole that damn thing. I cursed and laid my head on my folded arms above my desk, feeling frustrated with myself for doing a stupid thing that resulted in my misery."Bad morning?" Mia whispered, wearing a teasing smile on her lips."Just tired," I answered, ignoring that playful glint in her eyes. Mia sometimes really can be annoying that I wanted to choke her and never let go until her breath left her. Sometimes, she's very insensitive to my annoyance, or maybe she just having fun annoying me every day. Still, how insensiti
MATHEWBoyfriend?" Leo shrieked like a girl. I give him a warning stare not to say anything as well as the others, and I mentally thank them when they get what I mean.Abby awkwardly smiles. "Mia, Cora, this is my boyfriend." Leo coughed as well as the other, but I threw them a warning glare."Matthew, My name is Matthew Kim." I introduce myself. I saw Abby bite her lower lips with fear in her eyes, looking at her frowning friends."Matthew? I thought you said your boyfriend's name is Carlo?" Mia asked, confused."Maybe you just heard it wrong. I said, Matthew." Abby awkwardly laughed and shoved a spoonful of food in her mouth."Carlo? Does she know that bastard?" My fist balled beside me, and I gritted my teeth."I thought your boyfriend has the same name as the guy that I set you on a blind date before. Remember the one you said was a jerk?""Oh, I don't remember his face, but I remember his name. That guy is so rude." Abby said."Oh yeah. That guy is a total jerk. She cursed me aft
