I watched him stand up while I remain seating on the floor. Chayim turned to me and gave me a smile that causes my heart to react like crazy. He extended his hand on me. I unconsciously accepted his hand and gasp when he abruptly pulled me up.
“Let’s buy some ice cream,” he chuckles.
He didn’t let go my hand and grip it softly. He then grabs my totty bag on the floor and place it on his left shoulder. I puckered my lips trying not to smile. He looks so adorable in my totty bag.
We walk outside the room holding each other hands. My cheeks flush at the thought of everyone seeing us in this state. We are both silent while walking towards the store.
Some students are looking at us in surprise and confuse expression. I suddenly feel embarrass and uneasy with those looks. I feel so small. I’m with the famous Chayim Neo Fontanilla so it’s given that I should feel this.
“Chocolate?” he asked when we enter inside the ice cream shop.
The first thing that welcome me when I woke up was his message. Chayim Neo: Good morning, hermosa. Isaiah 55:12, You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Start your day with a smile. I shut my eyes tightly, trying to calm myself. My heart is beating so fast! It’s just a good morning message and a bible verses but I look like a fool freaking out because of it. I inhaled sharply and rush into the bathroom when I saw the time. I hastily comb my hair as I grab my tote bag. I hurried out of the room while wearing the ID around my neck. I frowned when I heard a car horn outside the house. Rebel greeted me as I exited the gate. He as folding his arms while leaning onto his red Lexus car. He’s playing his car key with his fingers, looking at me with a playful smile etched on his lip. I roll my eyes as I went towards him. “Didn’t k
My emotions swirls and entangled like a thread. I found myself drowning with his eyes.“I believe we have something to talk about,” he said in his low baritone voice.I kept my face straight as I look at him.“There’s none,” I answered.He pursed his lips then folded his arms. “You’re still doing it, right?”My forehead creased. What is he talking about?“Doing what?”“Bingeing and purging.”I was stunned from what he said. I gulp. Panic consumes inside me. He really knows everything. I don’t know what to feel.No one has ever know what I had been doing in my life. Even what he just said right now. I always keep this to myself.Because no one can understand.My eyes narrowed when he started taking small steps towards me. I staggered backwards as I tightened my hold on my tote bag. He's ocean blue eyes were darkly staring at me.
“I had been seeing you with Chayim this past few weeks, huh.” “It was just a mere interaction.” “So going at the café every morning was your kind of 'mere interaction'?” I rolled my eyes. “What do you need, Rebellious?” He folded his arms, a grin was plastered on his lips. “I was just asking,” he laughed. “You’re not fond of going out with someone especially a man to your favorite café.” I didn’t give him a response instead I continue flipping the pages of my book. There’s no point in answering his question, he’ll just going to throw question over and over again. He’s that annoying. “Curious.” He hummed. “It’s curious that you’re starting to be comfortable with a guy other than me and my twin.” “It’s called being friendly, ass.” He laughed. Rebellious wouldn’t just stop being so nosy, e? “Can you just go and flirt with your girlfriend instead?” I raised a brow. “You’re getting into my nerves.” He
Our teacher in philosophy asked us. What is living?Some of my classmates said: living is being alive, not dead, and progressing. Some just answered to be alive or alive. They all have different meanings of what living is, but nonetheless they're just the same.According to Merriam Webster dictionary: living is having life or the condition of being alive. Aristotle defined that every living thing has a certain form, part of which explains the thing's being alive. In Plato's definition, the meaning of life is in attaining the highest form of knowledge, which is the idea or form of the good, from which all good and just things derive utility and value. Meanwhile in Philosophy, living is having a purpose in life or an overall vision or attitude towards life.There are many definitions or descriptions of living, but they all have just one thought.For me, what is living?I certainly don't know or have any idea of what is living despite of those, I stil
When you thought you already experienced the worst, but since you're a bad luck just like itself; it became wretched.I remained frozen at my spot. My mind became blank. All I did was to stare at my father with confusion and shock because of what he blurted out as soon as I got home."Y-You are getting married?"My voice became a whisper. It feels like the news slapped me. I staggered backwards while shaking my head. I could feel the coldness of my hands as I lifted my head and look at my father."Why?" that question suddenly came out in my mouth.He eyed me with his expressionless eyes. For the past thirteen years, I never seen again the softness of his eyes whenever he'll look at me. It was dull and lifeless."You don't want me to be happy?" his eyebrows furrowed and shook his head. "Is this the way of you telling me that you're opposed to this?"I bit my lower lip. "I'm just shock," I bow down my head and stare at my white shoes.
"How did your brain contain all those topics?!" Ave shook her head while her arms clanging on me. We are heading to Top Thai which her cousin ordered us to. It's the place where we usually eat. "Like how you memorized the different veins in our Physiology." I sarcastically say that made her chuckle in response. She maybe a nagger, but she's one of the most outstanding med students here in our university. The New York University must be proud in having her. "You gave me tips that's why!" she poked my forehead. "Your photographic memory is more amazing!" "That's because I always study," I rolled my eyes. "That's your in born talent!" She scoffed at me and I just laughed. "You're really humble, aren't you?" I shook my head. "You're a top student here at NYU." "What do you think of yourself?" "I'm a human." "Rory!" I just laughed and waved at her frowning cousin who's looking at u
Instead of backing away, I kept my eyes on him and observe his features. A blade nose and burrowed cheekbones, his appearance only to die for. His curls were midnight black. I couldn't help to notice leathery black strands flopping over his face which to my distaste was veiling some of his enticing features. Over all, he’s a perfect description of an angel. "He might melt." I heard someone clear their throat. I blinked and looked down at my open textbook. Ave’s chuckles made my lips twitched. I bit my lower lip and resumed reading. What’s wrong with me?! I haven’t been this interested to a guy! I gripped my book trying to calm myself. "Have you finished your plates?" I refrained from looking in front of me and put my attention on what I’m reading. "Half of it," the man’s baritone reply to Neveah. My grip on the textbook page tightened. The pages crumpled. I winced and ran my hand over it before fixing its tangled part.
“What is love?” “Love is Neveah.” “Ew! Corny!” My lips formed into thin line as I heard my friends voices. They won’t never get tired arguing. I sigh. As if they would, that’s their favorite hobby to do. Seriously, they always fight and argue even in the smallest thing. “Could you please let me be in peace?” Goodness. I could feel my patience slowly disappearing. I’m a psych student and one of our traits were having a very long patience. But if you’re with this kind of people, I don’t know if you can be really patient. “Sorry Rue,” Rebel glared at his cousin before looking at me. “Astraea’s acting like a kid, again.” I roll my eyes when I saw how Ave’s face reddened, indicating that she’s going to blow up. “I’m not a kid!” she even stomped her feet onto the ground while shooting a glare at Rebel. My eyes went down on my books before taking a deep sigh. I quietly gather all my things on my arms and stood
