Friendly Kiss"IT'S GETTING BETTER."I immediately snatched my hand back from him and hid it behind me as if I was scorched from it. Our skin did not directly touch because of the bandage, but I felt a wild electricity flowing through my veins to my neck that it almost broke which sent shivers down my spine. "So, why are you looking for me?" My eyeballs dilated as my lips slightly parted. How did he know about that? "I-I wasn't looking for you. I was-- I just got out from work!" I spat.I gulped when he just raised an eyebrow and cocked his head to the side. Did I sound too defensive? I cleared my throat and fixed my collar. I stood straight and stepped back a few inches from him. He's too close, it's making my chest feel like it's being pushed side by side, so tight. "Okay. Since you're already here. Let me get this straight, I wanna say sorry to you personally about the last time. And about your blueprint, I hope you'll forgive me. Also, thank you for this bandage. I appreciate
IgnoredI SIGHED as I looked at myself in front of the mirror. I just got out of the shower and was still naked. I placed both of my hands on the sink, putting all my weight there. My eyes are a little puffy since I worked myself up on the weekends for my other projects and designs, and fortunately not for Mr. Wilson.I stormed out of the bathroom and started to dry my hair using a towel. It's already Monday and I do not have any energy to go to school. I am feeling sick, it sucks. I will never be able to have a better sleep, unless two months of curse ends. I still have about less than two weeks and one month to complete my lists.I glanced at the paper pinned on the wall. The list of mine isn't that obviously half-heartedly written when Ivan demanded me to move it to a piece of paper. None of the boxes were already checked since I would only see the results after two months if I succeeded or not. It's kind of motivating me in two ways; I will be a man of my words and continue doing
JealousyBLAKE smiled as he examined all the participants of the basketball team try out for the coming intramurals next week. Our opponents will be from different courses as well and now, they're just looking for Architecture major players representatives.I was quiet the whole time after I changed my clothes into a Nike shirt and shorts, still the one I have used in my freshman year since I also joined the basketball team before because I was part of the varsity team when I was in high school, and my friends didn't know that I play it. Unfortunately, I got kicked out just before the intrams would even start because of, as usual, my past behaviors. Consequently, during my sophomore year, I became classmates with Johnny and Ricky, and they convinced me to enter soccer since they both play it more than basketball while it's the opposite on my end. And right now, I wanted to show off and get on the team. I'll win the bet and I'll get close to Leon too. But the problem is, he always tal
Lovesick"WELL PLAYED! Thank you for participating here today. Y'all really did a very good game. I hate to say this, but we will only choose those who standout and play their position well." Blake crossed his arms over his stomach while letting out a small grin.I sat down to the nearest bleachers and massaged my forehead. My head is fucking aching in the middle of playing the scrimmage. Although we won the match, I am quite certain that I would not be able to get on the team since my play at the last five minutes sucks, still I got to score twenty-six points. If I was just really feeling good, I might score more and eat them alive. One more thing, I kinda lost my appetite in playing. It's a good thing that no one ever saw me standing like an idiot while I was looking at Leon like an abandoned cat the moment he went to Blake. I need to erase the filthy and reeking emotion I've felt I admitted to myself. Even if I don't fully understand the way it was, I just don't wanna think about
In Love? I REFUSED to believe whatever words of wisdom Ricky was trying to inculcate to me. Jealousy doesn't mean you're already in love with someone. We all have different perspectives in life and I do not agree with what his mother told him. And for the record, I didn't get jealous because Lea's with another guy. I was just putting a show. Nothing more, nothing less. Though, I am not quite certain if it was effective."Ricky, you spit shits. I'm not in love. That's like the last thing I would do in my life. I will never fall in love," I said and looked away. "Okay, okay! Why you mad, dude? So defensive." He clicked his tongue. My hands suddenly felt cold and sweaty. I am nervous and I don't know why, and I don't want to figure it out as well. I pretended to chill, like I wasn't affected about what he said at all, but when the moment I asked them to leave me first alone even if they didn't want to because Mom was not here yet, I was baffled with a lot of questions in my mind and
Attention"WELCOME back, bro! First day of the training and you were absent," Ricky said with his annoying smirk again. After that terrifying, confusing, and undefinable night at the hospital, I failed to go to school yesterday as I was manifesting. Mom didn't let me go and insisted that I should rest for the whole day because I might have a relapse of my fever. Mom even wanted to drop me by and see me off at Carlyle for she has a flight in the afternoon with her friends too, but as usual I refused even though Ivan was okay with it since I just got sick. However, I wanted to be consistent and took the bus to school. One more thing, I am just used to being a commuter now after a few weeks. I even prefer it though it's hard to catch some bus sometimes. I also assumed that I would get kicked out of our team because I didn't attend yesterday. Fortunately, Ivan talked to our coach and they totally understood my situation, especially that they actually saw how I passed out straight on th
Caramel Macchiato FOR A SECOND, I don’t know how to deal with my life decisions anymore. "No way, dude! This ain't real!" Ricky's eyes widened ten times than usual. 'Yeah. Screw me.'I can't do anything about it now. I already told Lea that I would pursue her to be my real girlfriend, but damn, I don't like her. I am just going to use her, that is all the purpose of this madness. She was speechless earlier and just like what I have expected, she's more than happy as ever that it fucking makes me feel guilty. Yet, I am still winning the game. The wild lion is mad and it does have an effect on him. I am certain that I am going to check his kiss on my list in no time. I know how it will continue; Leon will be furious about me pursuing his sister for real to be my girlfriend, he will nag about it and he will never stop begging me to stay away from his sister, and then once more, I will give him my condition to kiss me, and voila! I bet everyone's going to be proud of me and I am stil
House"I MADE the coffee, Sir," I admitted in a brave voice. Ivan deeply shut his eyes before he gave me death stares as if I reached the bottom of his patience. Quickly after he turned his head to them, his facial expression changed in a second and apologetically smiled at them.I bit my lower lip. Yes, it is my fault because I intentionally made it taste really bitter, but I am not bitter just like what Blake mentioned. Why would I be? I just wanted to make fun sometimes and see his reaction. "I am deeply sorry for this, Sir. He is our new barista and is still taking brewing classes. If you will let us, we will replace your coffee and a cake of your choice in the house," Ivan negotiated then side-eyed me. "Leonardo, you go make the coffee instead." "It's fine, I know him. I guess, Iris has been really caught up and exhausted for the past few days," said Blake. He let out a little smile. I don't know if it's just me, but his tone sounds a bit offhanded and insincere? Was he just
