Regrets

A moment of silence ensued, but curiosity got the better of me, so I asked, "Are you a transferee?"He seemed confused. "No, I'm not. You just don't see me because I don't like people looking at me. I'm always covered with my shadow," he said in quick succession. He took three consecutive sips.Ah, I see. Not all dreams come true."I was talking to my ex that time you threw the vase," he admitted, looking hurt.Really? Did I ruin everything?"But you were laughing that day, right?"

He's back

I woke up to the sound of my cellphone. "Hello?" I asked groggily."Alex! Where are you? Why didn't you come to class? Do you know we had a quiz earlier? What's your excuse for Mrs. Galvez?
