Serine***I closed my sketchbook and put it beside Sarah's soup. "Don't you dare mess on it." I said even though and I knew Sarah was the most cleanest person I knew.I was sitting with my two best friends during lunch time and we were talking about what girls would talk about. Until,"Speaking of crushes," I rolled my eyes and lost all hope for this conversation. "What happened with Alexander?""Oh God." I muttered. There was really no escaping this.***"You? No- impossible. You like me? Your sister could do better than that." I shook my head with an eye roll. "I knew you wouldn't believe me.""Damn right. So why tell me?" He sighed at this and I could see the irritation in his eyes. "Why are you so Goddamn stubborn woman?""I could ask you the same thing." I folded my arms and looked up to him innocently. "Princess why is it so damn hard for you to believe that I actually feel something for you."Princess. "First of all, don't call me that. Second, that's humanly impossible."
Serine***I frustratingly sighed as another minute went by with me searching for my book. "What ya looking for princess? " Levine asked."My sketch book. I've been looking for it for over an hour and I still haven't found it." I answered ignoring the name she called me. "Did you check the library?""I checked but it wasn't there.""Were you the only one there?""Ye- no. Angelo was with me. I remember he needed to find the library and I took him there before Alexander interrupted. But it was still with me at the time, I'll ask Angelo anyways. "I shut the door, irritated and I made my way to the living room. "Hey Sarah have any of you seen my-" I stopped mid end when I saw a green eyed, tanned skin human being drinking juice on the couch. "Darek?" My voice echoed and our eyes locked and stared at him, confused."I brought some- Serine." Sarah came into the living room through the kitchen and her eyes met mine and went back to Darek. "I- oh my God I-" I smirked as she kept getting tang
Serine***My heart stopped.Unwanted thoughts clouded my mind as I watched her twirl the book in between her fingers. For the first time in God knows how many years, Kelly had finally gained the upper hand against me.I remembered back to all of times where I was only a junior and she knew who I was because we had gone to the same school even way before."You are nothing.""You will always be nothing."I could hear my own heart beat, loud and clear and I even tried breathing in deeply."Kelly don't- please. Whatever you're going to do, please don't.""Oh no?" I shook my head with pleading eyes and I could taste the blood from my lips that I didn't even realize I was biting. Ever since I built up the courage to face my fears and face her, I'd never thought I'd see the day that I'd be pleading for her not to something crazy.I never thought I'd see the day of me letting go of my pride because of a situation.A Kelly situation to be exact.I swallowed all of my pride at that moment bec
Serine***Fortunately, the passed few days had gone pretty smooth and I hadn't unnecessarily been stressing on things.I obviously kept visiting my dad on a daily and it was the same old news. Talking to a person, with their eyes closed on a hospital bed I think was definitely a torturous thing because the person was truly still alive because of a man-made machine.It was like talking to the dead who was still living.Did that make any sense?Even if I didn't, it surely wasn't a pretty feeling.I sighed, leaning my head against the wall staring at my wardrobe, puzzled. It was like I didn't know who I was, I didn't know who these clothes belonged to because I didn't even know where to start. It was just another day of me going to school but for some reason, something inside of me just said that something was going to happen. But I didn't know what.I shrugged it off and made my way to my wardrobe and I glanced at the window outside. They sky was already blue- it seemed warm and it
Serine***I must've been hallucinating.I should have been hallucinating.I wish I was hallucinating because I couldn't take this.This must've been a joke. But it wasn't, the four of them sat down and I honestly couldn't regret agreeing to this more than anything. "Karma." Someone whispered and I nodded. Acknowledging the fact like it was my last day living."How come you're no longer chatty?" I glared at the person who just said that and I caught him smirking. I thought about retorting but I held myself back- inhaling and exhaling slowly.From today on, I wasn't going to give him the pleasure of my anger. From today, I will stop entertaining him and actually be nice to him. All he wanted was my attention and it seemed as though that his favorite was the angry and snappy side of me but I wasn't going to give him that. For as long as I challenged myself."No because today I'm starting a new." All eyes were on me at this moment, some held confusion, some showed a little bit of curiosi
Serine***I browsed through YouTube as I kept walking slowly. "Can you stop looking at that phone? You'll bump into someone."I hummed and did as she said. I shoved the phone on the back pocket of my- oh, I wasn't wearing any damn jeans. I rolled my eyes and just kept the phone in my hands. We were currently at mall as we planned and I seriously didn't know why I wasn't participating in the shopping because my wardrobe was confusing me.I needed to buy stuff."Rine baby girl, check out this dress.""Really pretty. It'd suit you.""Dumbass, I love it for you." My forehead creased. "When have you ever seen me, on a regular day, wear a dress?""Never?""Exactly.""Well yes, I know. But it could be useful. I mean look at it. It's black, it's silk, come on." I tilted my head to the side- contemplating. "Okay fine."It was a cute dress. I mean sheesh, it was trending but- not that I don't wear dresses, it's just that I don't really like wearing them on a normal day.Does that make sense?A
Serine***"Guys I think we have company." Both heads snapped towards my direction and I was welcomed with a cough from Sarah. I smirked. "The universe seems to speaking to you guys." Levine smirked.I glared at her, sending her precious middle fingers with my eyes. Turns out, that the guys were here too.Yup. Alexander, David, Darek and Angelo.Angelo who was awfully quiet and right as I thought about him, our eyes locked. His dimple showed and right then and there I saw his paper white teeth. I smiled back. "Ahem," someone cleared their throat and I look to see that it was none other than Alexander.I rolled my eyes, shaking my head and jugged down a little bit of my coffee. I ignored him and took my seat next to the girls. "May we?" David rose his brow, eyes locked with Levine's. Instead of her saying something back, as I expected her too, she looked away.Did I miss something?Sarah seemed to not notice because her eyes were fixed on the dry fruit that was in front of her. I never
Serine***I felt my body in the air and I had to be honest, It was scary and liberating at the same damn time.I don't know how that went together but it seemed to have right now.The wind brushed against my skin and I loved it. It felt amazing. It was like escaping for a short amount of time but even though it was short, it was so much more worth it.It was only me and the wind.My worries, my heart aches were gone. That's how I felt every time I sketched. I was expected to drop like nobody's business, but I screamed. I screamed at first and it felt- again, liberating. From something that I was so afraid of facing, it was honestly one of the best things I had done. I could actually say that.It was over and I felt them release something from my waist and what I did shocked me.I ran towards a figure who had already went his turn and engulfed them in a hug. I felt them freeze but the I felt arms wrap around me.I felt safe.I felt grateful.I felt amazing.I felt like I was free.An
