Collegium - an educational institution; collegeOrigin: Latin 1"Yes mom... Okaaay mooom. I heard you. I said okay.... Yes I will mom!" I rolled my eyes as I was busy and struggling on grabbing my luggage out of the house with a phone in between my shoulder and ear.My mother has always been the worry-freak whenever we're far from her or she's abroad with dad cos of work. One time, I remember when I was still a kid, my brother said that she even went to my brother's camping at two in the morning cos he forgot his mosquito spray and well technically he got embarrassed by it. He lived with the embarrassment until he reached eighth grade. I know it's normal for moms to act that way and worry cos that's part of their jobs but our mom is a very worry-freak even to the smallest details in our lives. I think we sort of got used to it now we've gotten bigger. "Mom, will you please st

Fraternité- Brotherhood of man; FraternityOrigin:French3Cameron specifically told me to stay away from frat men because well, they are frat men, they are dangerous and prone to fights. But here I am walking towards a black pick up truck full of frat men on the truck bed. God, why is Tracy even so persuasive? And why did I have to go with her? I should be up in our room sleeping or rereading the book again cos I miss the part where the antagonist was caught by the cops or maybe watching a movie in Netflix. But nooo, Savannah is out partying on her second night in Washington State University. "Trace! Hurry up! Cmon! We're running late!" I hear one calling out from the passenger seat. "Geez what's the rush it's only ten." Tracy whines as she grabs my wrist. The men, they were in number of five, from the back of the truck were waving and smiling at me. They w

IncontroTranslation: Encounter Origin: Italian5I sit right next to his feet on the edge of his bed while I was waiting for the dreadful five minutes to end. He was sitting down while resting his back on the headboard and had his phone on his hand. Tracy had finally given it to him maybe. He didn't even look at me or made any form of way to start a conversation. Hell, why would be even start a conversation with me?I sigh heavily, making him notice that I was getting bored in here. I think my saliva has ran dry cos we're both so quiet. "Just so you know I need that shirt back by Friday." I hear him, talking. Finally. It worked. He talked. I gazed at him over my shoulder. "I'll dry wash it. Don't worry."He grunts. "Four more minutes."As if he's the only one in agony here. There was that awkward pause in between us again. I just sat there and he just sat

Erstwhile- in the pastOrigin: English 7NICK'S POVEIGHT YEARS AGOMy bedroom door opens wide all of a sudden and I had to hurriedly exit the porn site I was looking at and I quickly fixed my pants, pressing my boner down on the bed. Damn it mom, could you at least knock? I was almost on my peak. "Nick will you look after Tracy for me tonight?" She says while she was fixing her earrings and not looking at me. I exhale. "Mom, she's already twelve." I whined. She slapped my ass, "And you're older than her. Don't go anywhere tonight."I quickly pulled myself up from the bed with my plow covering my boner and my face fell. "But mom it's Friday and I'm going out to Alec's.""Goodness Nicholas you're already sixteen! At least be responsible here at home. You're always

CHAPTER 9 GestenGestenTranslation: gesturesOrigin: German9Alec arrived right after our foods were served. He sat down right next to me, so I was in between him and Nick. The boys randomly talked about cars, the initiation tomorrow but not the specific details because we were around with them. They talked about the recruits and mostly Alec was blabbering about the party tonight. Another party on weekdays.Can't they just spend a night quietly?"Ugh! You guys have been talking about cars for the entire dinner." Tracy whines.I just kept twirling my finger around the straw and noticed that the three men were both quiet after Tracy whined about it. Though it was true, I just didn't bother it because I don’t want to say anything wrong that will make this night worst than that night when Nick said those words to me. Dinner was delicious though and I just focused on my drink.All through out dinner, I was just observing Nick and I don’t know why I was doing that either. He doesn’t smile
