“Alayna, a French boy is looking for you.” Karen called out while I was in my room. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time, pale as ever, but my wardrobe improved a little as Karen lend me some of her old dress. But I still prefer to wear a pair of chucks instead of that two inches high-heel she was suggesting.
I went downstairs and found Matt comfortably sitting on our couch.
“You are stunning.” Matt went to me then he took my hand.
“Matt, take care of my daughter.” Karen emerged from the kitchen and she was eating a… is that a croissant? “And this croissant tastes
“Lay, what have you done?” It was Stacey, her eye brows furrowed. We were on the bus stop, waiting for the bus to come. I just leaned my head on the post and closed my eyes for a bit.“Nothing. I just didn’t get enough sleep during weekends.” I answered lazily. This is because of Lucas Nielsen, who kept pestering my mind with his sudden I miss you on me. I couldn’t sleep properly. My heart is being weird every time I will recall that scenario. I know for a fact there are dark circles under my eyes. Th
Tomorrow morning, I’ve decided to buy Stacey a gift for her birthday party later. It was nice that her birthday is a holiday here in Torshavn, meaning, there are no classes for today.I simply wore a black top, denim jeans, and a hoodie. Karen was with William in the wet market, so I just went out and walked myself in the bus stop.I have three gift choices for Stacey, I have this in mind since last week. I took out my mini-notebook, containing the list of gifts for her and read it one by one.First, I thought of giving her a hair clip. I find her very pretty when her hai
“Ethan.” I called out.“Hey, is Stacey here?” Ethan asked, he seems hesitant. Or maybe he’s just being shy… He is carrying a box, a gift for Stacey for sure.“Yep. Come on in.” We both made our way to our table.“Dude. Nice to see you in here.” Matt welcomed Ethan with a shake hand.“I’ve decided to come, even though she didn’
I gathered my things on the table and started putting it all back in my bag."It's a miracle that Ms. Pedersen dismissed us early." Stacey told me in a singsong voice, as she put her things on her bag as well.I grinned at her. "Better late than nev
"Honey, how would you feel if you ever saw your father again?" Karen's voice was calm as she continues, then I focused my attention to her."It would be delightful, mom. You do know that I'm not holding any grudges from my father. Besides, I really miss him."
"Oh, so you don't see Charmaine at Alayna, huh, Matt?" Lucas mentioning my name, it made my heart beat. I'm really involved in their conversation..."The hell, Nielsen... no." Matt said, obviously annoyed at Lucas."Are you sure? Because the last ti
“Get yourself together, Alayna.” I told myself as I gripped the sink on the ladies comfort room in the school. I am having a hard time to breathe, again. These past few days, this is always happening to me. It feels like, there is something blocking my heart that I couldn’t much feel my heart beat.The fact that my dad is here with us, I don’t want him to worry about me. I want to be happy as if nothing’s wrong with me.Get yourself together, please!I went out and my mind is not in the right state right now. It was consumed by fright, pain, and sadness. I heaved a sigh, and then suddenly I bumped with someone that
“Ms. Smith…” Principal Schmidt looked at Karen coldly. “Someone reported to the upper boards about your daughter.” Karen and I were now in the office of Principal Schmidt, while Stacey and William were waiting outside for us.“Then, what’s going to happen next?” Karen answered. Then I just squeeze my palm using my thumb. I always find myself doing this whenever I am in a situation where I know I could be hurt.“We have no choice… I’m sorry.” I gaze over at the Principal. His eyes were pleading, as if it is apologizing to me… to us.&
