I’ll love you until I can Jill reached the address that Anastasia sent. The girl wondered how she knew about it this place, and how come Wayne told the little girl before herself. It’s her first time A sense of jealousy spark inside her, she pouted before she approached the gates. There must be some reason why’s she’s here? The girl pondered. She had the gist that the two started living, and her reaction was flushed and slightly annoyed when she thought of it. “I better find it out myself.” She shook her head and opened the gates. Everything felt surreal, yesterday was a painful rejection but a light of hope when he said it was possible. That alone gave her hope to keep going, the two hasn’t started to confess yet, and thus she believed that she had a chance. He was probably tried to be nice, but that didn’t faze Jill. She loved him for a long time, and he couldn’t simply just back out. Unless he

Grateful The midterm was just two days ahead. Students cramping to review to finish the project before the deadlines was a common sight to see. April was one of the tardy student who only does her school requirements few days before the given sate. Alongside with Hori and Joy, the two kept bugging Jill. It was 7 am in the morning. The number of students walking in the pathway keep growing. All had the same depressing eyes, exams weren’t a fan favorite in the school, except for smart ass students. But majority of the student in their school was bunch of students having no clue on what they wanted in the future. Joy sighed when she saw Aizen on the school grounds. She was avoiding him for weeks, and somehow hope that he would come visit her out of concern. Thus, she realized there’s no point of chasing him, the guy he likes clearly has no feelings for her. But deep inside Joy feelings remained solid, but not bright enough for her to confessed. The girl sulk and went back

FORGIVENESS THAT HE THOUGHT HE COULDN’T GIVE There was still an hour left before he met his father, but Wayne wanted to leave already. The class was still ongoing as he waited. He was bothered with questions, he did say that he wanted to talk to him, which was something that rarely happens. He assumed that he already went back and heard the news, but what now? Will he call him to come home or disown him? He was troubled the whole time. The classroom was quiet, there wasn't much to do. The teacher writes the lesson on the board, while students copy it without question. Jill noticed the weary Wayne, she tapped on his shoulder to ask what’s wrong. “Are you okay? You seem troubled. Do you want to share your problem?” Asked Jill. The young man looked away, avoiding the answer to the question. But he knew Jill would keep buzzing about it, and so after 20 pokes on his cheeks he opened up. “My fathe

What lies aheadExams had arrived, casting a blissful spell upon the air. Jill and Wayne found themselves seated together on the grass, their gaze fixed on the open field bustling with fellow high school students.Jill turned toward Wayne, her curiosity getting the better of her. "What do you want to do next? Are you still staying here?"Wayne nodded, a small smile gracing his lips. "Yeah.""That's good to hear. Another school year with you," Jill teased, a playful raise of her eyebrow adding to the moment."Oh my God, now that you're looking at me like that, I'm beginning to regret my decision," Wayne replied, shaking his head."Eeeh? Don't be like that," Jill continued to playfully banter."But I guess school's kinda fun when you're around," he admitted, a warm smile of appreciation lighting up his face. "This semester was unexpectedly fun.""Never imagined the day I would be able to talk with you. I guess all it took was luring you using April, oops," she said, slipping up and quick

Her Fears“When will you do it?” Jill’s eyes roamed, settling on her best friend in the distance. A significant span had passed since the two engaged in a heartfelt conversation.“Tomorrow, I’ve made up my mind,” Wayne declared.“Why not now?” Jill’s urgency cut through. “I want to know the answer.”“Chill, will you,” Wayne requested, a hint of nervousness creasing his expression. “Give me time to prepare myself.”“I guess I should also prepare myself,” she replied, a tinge of sadness in her tone. “But to be honest, I don’t think April is in the right mind.” She conveyed her concern.“What gives?” he asked.“Well, it feels like she’s been keeping a distance from us,” Jill observed. “Something must have happened.”“You think?” Wayne wondered, acknowledging the changes he, too, had noticed.Jill's concern echoed with sincerity. "Yeah, I do hope it’s nothing worse," she expressed, her genuine worry etched on her face. "She's already been through the worst breakup of her life. I know she’s

The glow of the phone screen was the only light in the darkened room. Wayne lay on his bed, staring at the chat window, his thumb hovering over the keyboard.He exhaled sharply, running a hand through his messy hair. He had spent the last hour debating this—typing, deleting, retyping, second-guessing. Should he really do this?Hesitant, he asked himself, “If not tomorrow, then when?”His heart pounded. He knew it was late. He knew she might be asleep. But if he didn’t do it now, he never would.His fingers moved before his brain could catch up."Hey, it’s been a while."He hit send.Seconds stretched into eternity. The typing bubble didn’t appear. He swallowed hard, suddenly regretting everything.Then—three dots flickered on the screen.April blinked at her phone, her breath catching when she saw Wayne’s name pop up. Wayne? At this hour?She wiped the sleep from her eyes, trying to shake off the drowsiness. They talked all the time, but something about this felt… different."Nothing m
