Serine***Impatiently I began drumming my fingers and kept glancing at the clock every 2 seconds. Hoping that the bell would just ring any moment.5 minutes Serine.Just five more minutes. Chill.But I absolutely couldn't. I don't know what was out there for me ever since Alexander told me to meet him after his practice, it hasn't left my mind.Another thing that just refused to leave my mind was that night. Where I kissed him. I, the person who hated Alexander's guts from the first day, I kissed a few months later.Why?You're asking who exactly?aaannnd she woke up. Duh, myself. I rolled my eyes. Allow me to ask, why else would a girl kiss a boy she never liked in the first place?I don't know... maybe it was on impulse. That's really all you got? You still haven't realized that you like him.I snort.All heads in my homeroom snap in my direction- including Mr Rossini who was giving me questioning look through his spectacles."May I ask what the joke is?"Perfect. Look what you
Serine***"Of course I came. You told me to come here didn't you?""Yes I did, but your capricious, princess." I squinted my eyes but nodded agreeing. My palms were a bit sweaty and I was feeling hotter than I thought I was.I didn't know if it was just me or it was because of how I was suddenly feeling around him. There was nothing I could easily retort to because all that was on my mind was that I liked him.Mentally I was sending a temporary goodbye to the sassy and snappy Serine because I had something I wanted to tell him.And that I was evidently how I felt. "How was practice?" I started off low-key. "Whoa..." he stared at me. For too long may I add, his was slightly beaming. "W-what? is there something on my face or what?""No," he answered softly. His lip slowly curving up and my stomach flipped. "I just- this is a surprise." I furrow my brows. "What is?"Call me slow people, call me slow. "This. The way you're acting is like another person has taken over you but with the s
Serine***"Oh my God I promise I am going to kill you." I glare at the person who's next to me. "I haven't even done anything," they say and I give the 'really now' look."You have been doing everything I told you not to. ""Correction my dear," he starts off. "you never told me- you just said what you said but you never specifically forbid me from doing anything." I squint my eyes at him. "Fuck." I shut my eyes in pure annoyance. "Alexander you are so damn annoying." I growl."I never asked for you to come, you offered and because of your persistence, that was beyond me, I agreed. And you come earlier than you were even supposed to." I say. "I just wanted to see you." I hum in response and fix my hair as I check myself in the mirrors reflection. I was dressed in a simple baggy jeans and a black cami top and I obviously paired the fit with sneakers and a denim jacket. "I swear you manage to fit in everything." he says popping at the back of me and I glance at him through the mir
Serine***"I wanna go home,""Me too, I'm tired,""Correction, fucking tired," I sit down on the nearest bench and I sigh. It was hot. And when it is hot, unexpectedly, my energy drains faster than it usually does. I slapped my palm onto my forehead as I pant like I ran somewhere. I began feeling a movement on my belly and I knew I had a huge appetite.Only for me to spill my guts later."I need to eat? I just- someone? Anybody?""You need to eat someone?" I somehow find the energy to glare at Levine as she shrugs. "What?" I shake my head and look back up the ceiling. "Did someone make an order?" I narrow my eyes and spot a tray of food in front of me. I look up to the person who had the tray in hand and like a fool, I unintentionally grin. "Life. Saver babe." The second I said that, all eyes were on me.My eyes slightly widen, "That was, a total mistake." I realize. "You just called him 'babe'." I look to the person who had just said that.Thank you so much Sarah. I sigh, givi
Alexander***Her body was underneath the water in the bath tub and she was visible. It wasn't a bath tub with blood, luckily- but that didn't change the fact that I couldn't see her face. My legs speed towards where she was and I literally froze when my hands made contact with the cold water.Without hesitating, I bring both of my arms inside and underneath her body. I carry her bridal style, placing her on the waterproof mat. "Baby," I whisper. She was covered in a white t-shirt but that didn't stop me from panicking. She's been in the tub for way too long . "Baby come on now, respond to me." Nothing.But I refuse to panic. "Baby open your eyes, don't do this to me. Don't. It's way too soon for you to leave me," I plea trying to warm her up, trying to make her eyes open or her hand squeeze, anything. Confusion consumes me as I have no idea if she drowned herself in the bath tub or she simply kept in her breathe. My eyes widen.Her pulse.I press my index and middle finger together a
Levine***I shut my locker with a loud enough thud and from the left, I spot a blurry image of someone. "Anything I can help you with?" I ask turning around and locked eyes with a pair of amber orbs. "Nothing I j-""Cool if it's nothing- then I can't help you." I give him an evident fake smile. "Damn you and Serine are so similar," he muses and I purse my lips. "You only realize that now?""Trust me I've known this,""Your point?" I stare at him blankly- okay guys, I know, I didn't necessarily have to constantly snap at him but guys who irritate you- make you do these kinds of things and still question you, but they're the problem. "How about coffee?" I squint my eyes, thinking."You never fail to make me feel less interested,""Lunch? My treat," I pout, "Sure, why not, " I shrug. Look, to whoever is against guys paying the bills or splitting the damn bill, news flash it's not about a girl not being able to provide for herself- no. It's not that she needs a guy to pay for everyt
Serine***It was now Friday and I was so relieved. It was pretty early and I had decided that I should probably visit my dad today. And I was thinking about that during my most pleasant class of the day.Maths. Note the sarcasm.We were busy writing a test and I'm not joking when I say that I was not focused. Not even the slightest. I haven't even begun studying but I'm writing my first paper in three days. Hip hip, hooray!How noice. My thoughts then drifted back to my dad who was still in the hospital. Not at his best unfortunately. There was no response whatsoever. He was unfortunately still the same as I left him. I hoped for progress because I wasn't about to give up anytime soon. He wouldn't want me dwelling on the topic but he was the one parent I had left. I couldn't lose him too.I had lost my own mother because I was born. And I simply couldn't lose my father too. Knowing maybe there is something I could do about it. Don't you give up Serine, he'll be okay. Unable to fo
Serine ***Arriving at the hospital, I see his body once again. His eyes closed, he wasn't moving an inch whatsoever. The machine beeping at every second, reminding us that he was still there. Right?Right.I softly drag the stool near, to the right side of his bed and sit down on it. Grabbing his hand that had the pulse oximeter on his index finger. "Hey dad," I greet as happily as I could."You know, I'm beginning my exams next week and uhm- I promise you I'll study really hard so I can graduate. I want you to be there- to see me graduate. Nothing will be better than you smiling and hugging me saying you're proud of me. I know mom is smiling wherever she is, I think I'm going to visit her today." As I stare my dad teary eyed.What the hell, I'm such a crybaby. I spot a chain around his neck. It was his locket. The one he'd never take off and treasured forever. I stood up slowly and I was lucky enough he wasn't sleeping too low. He was more- or- less upright. Once the chain is
