"Hey! Am home" I yelled, pushing the door open. Sophia who was busy playing with Tony on the couch, craned her neck to face me."You are back?" She smiled."Yea" I groaned, dropping off my backpack. "So hungry" I mumbled, laying flat on the couch. She giggled."Not funny!" I mumbled, grunting tiredly."I made lunch""Of course, you did" I titled my head to face her. "Were you supposed to wait for me?" I asked with an eye roll. She stood up with Tony in her arms."Sometimes I wonder how you cope when I wasn't around!" She shook her head. "I mean for a food freak like you!" She grinned sheepishly."I made chicken soup, sandwich, and other stuff. Since you are hardly around, paying visits to your boyfriend" I said glaring at her. She quickly looked away, I knew she wanted to crack a joke but I just wasn't in the mood, guess Bethany being absent in school really got to me, or maybe I was just very hungry.As the saying goes, a hungry lion is an angry one."Um... Sorry" She mumbled, looking

"Are you going to come to school tomorrow?" I asked Bethany as we came out of the subway."About that..." She mumbled breathing out a sigh. "I don't think am ready to face Neol yet!" I shoved my hands inside my hoodie and breathed out heavily. "Relationship is way more complicated than I assumed," I thought to myself. "So you are going to miss class tomorrow?" She gave me a sluggish nod and pouted almost immediately. "My little baby is going to miss me!" She whimpered, drying the phony tears from her eyes."Oh really?" I asked with a smile. "Of course, am the only friend you have!" She boasted, nudging her hair across her ear. "I mean who else can keep up with you," she gave me a soft hit on my shoulder, grinning from ear to ear."Don't be too sure, I have a new friend now""Oh mine, are you being for real?" She smirked, leaning closer."That's more like a insult Bethany, are you trying to say am lying!" I sna

"Please! Team me up with someone else, anyone!" I pleaded. "Listen I wish I can but you are the only one complaining here.""Hey, come over here!" Ace yelled out, his hands on his waist. "The game is getting started.""Pleassseee.." I emphasized. The coach scratched the back of his head as he stared down at me. "Listen."I don't mind trading partners," Someone said behind me. I almost leaped for joy but my smile subsided when I found out it was Noel."Okay, great! Lizzy team up with Ace." The coach openly declared."Sure," she grinned sheepishly, jogging towards Ace."Hey!" Noel waved. I replied with barely a nod. ~After the activities, we sat down exhausted. Noel pulled out a bottle of water and handed it to me. "You must be thirsty.""Thanks," I breathed out. He dropped his bottle of aside, and leaned upright, few strands of his black hair glued on his forehead. His brown eyes was fixed on a specific direction without cutting a

My stomach rumbled as I wash the toilet, I had missed lunch break because of Ace, how much I despise him.I stood up with a sigh, finally done. I pulled off my gloves and wiped the droplets of sweat from my forehead with the back of my hands.I washed my hands and strolled towards the door, it busted open before I could reach the doorknob, hitting me hard on my forehead. "Ouch," I groaned my hands on my forehead. "Why not watch where you are going!" I snapped, my face hardened in a frown. I peeked up to meet Sandra's grimacing glare, and without a word, she shoved me away."Hey!" I grumbled, my ass on the cold floor."Freak!" She cussed, and without sparing me a glimpse she shut the restroom door behind her. I exhaled.My stomach rumbled all my way to class, it was embarrassingly audible but it couldn't be helped.~School was over.I fished my phone from my jeans to give Bethany a call, it took a few rings before she finally picked up."Sorry I couldn't make it," she apologized eve

The clock on my nightstand registered 5:43 am, Reminds me that once again I had woken up before the rest of the household. I slowly put my foot to the floor, pausing to straighten the book carelessly abandoned on the bedside cabinet when I felt my eyes closing just before sleep. I stretched out and inhaled deeply, it's been just a month being friends with lia and I have already turned out to be a bookworm. We seem to get a lot more smoothly than I presume, probably due to the fact we had many things in common. The shadow of night darkens the room. I reach up to pull the cord, light chasing away whatever lingers in unlit corners. A swoosh of cold air trembles my skin as I open the balcony door, I embraced myself tightly. I run my hands across the bookcase I bought a few days ago, the glass front displaying for all to see its shelves overcrowded with books I can't wait to finish reading. I opened the bookcase and pulled out a book."I will read this as I wait for dawn," I grinned sh
