Novel & Cerita Dust Yourself Off And Try Again

I entered for the fourth time but also failed. "S-k-y-e D-e-c-i-m-u-s", this is my last chance. I am very hesitant to tap the go button but I need to bet. Whatever may come or the result, I know that I still got another more chance after 1 minute of time freeze. My eyes widen as I saw that it didn't match again. "Better lucks next time, self". I murmured then place the phone inside my cabinet under my shirts to make sure that Sergeant can't find or see it then hit the sack.

As I stood before the body-length mirror, adjusting my outfit one last time, I took a deep breath to steady the storm of emotions swirling within. I tried to convince myself that today could be a fresh start, a chance to step into a world where I could be someone new. Make new friends, learn new things, and explore a new environment. Think positively, Sets.

He gave me a short soft smile, “Weird, clumsy even, but not a failure.” I pursed my lips together as I felt a tingly feeling in my chest, “I’ll try.” I said as the tears that never got to come out of my eyes vanished even before they got the chance to roll down my cheek, “I’ll do better.” I gulped, “I really want to keep the promises I have made. I know I keep messing up but still I’ll try. I’ll do even better than before.” I bit my lower lip, “And I’ll try and watch my mouth too. It only spouts trash after all.”

I tried to remove my hand again, but I wasn't successful. What's wrong with him? Didn't he hear all I've just said? "Nice try Lucia, but I'm still not giving up on you. I told you already, you can be better than this. All you need to do is believe in yourself, apologize to her, start all over and you'll feel better again. You aren't beyond redemption, no one is. You just ain't ready to surrender completely. Still, I'll be closeby waiting for you." He smiled and released my hand. I stood up quickly from the chair.

I couldn't see the cause, so I continued on, more aware of my surroundings now. Suddenly, my dress got snagged under my feet, making me tumble into the dirt. I groaned, my body too sore from running to get up. I laid there for a moment, recovering. I almost wanted just to lay there, give up and let them come to find me. I felt defeated. I finally found it in myself to get to my feet, dusting off my hands and wiping the dirt off my knees. I couldn't give up; I had too much to live for. I heaved a sigh and began to brush the dirt off my butt when my eyes caught movement ahead of me.

No way to clean this up in time. "Fuck, fuck, FUCK."

It scratches him in the chest, and he lets out a cry. "You deserve that and more." I say, dropping the silver shard, and running after the others.

The strangest thing is that no one says anything about it. I pull my arms out from under my body and lift my face off the floor. I have hair and dirt in my mouth. "Maybe we can fix this another way..." It's too late, but I still try to fix things, because I can be stupid and get myself into the worst trouble, but I also accept when I make a mistake and try to do the right thing. It's too late whenever I do, and of course futile, but that doesn't stop me. "150 push-ups or everyone eats paste for a week."

Halsey Green slowly turned his eyes back and said, "all mighty master Gavyn I never said that I would give up. Some things are mine and she will come back one day." "Oh? So now you're responding to change with the same thing?" Halsey Green patted the dust on his cuffs and said, "This dust can be patted off, just like this obstacle in life, it can also be removed at any time." "Really? Do you need me to buy you a dust collector?" Rex Gavyn smiled meaningfully.

My gaze didn’t wander from the screen as I watched the call trying to get through. For a second, I felt hopeful, maybe he would pick up his damn phone, but I only heard the automatic message, ‘The number you’re trying to reach is currently unavailable.’ I closed my eyes and whispered to myself, ‘Try again. It might connect.’ So, I dialed his number one more time and heard the same unavailable message again. I clenched my fingers around the phone. Eliot looked at me, “I will try to get in contact with our other contacts.”
