Just Because Someone Stumbles Mga Nobela at Kwento

Time seems to move in slow motion as I see him slip a foot out from under the table, catching Amelia at the knee as she passes by. The result is disastrous. Amelia, in five inch stilettoes, stumbles and trips. She puts out her hands to catch herself but misses, hitting her face on the counter as she goes down. Alvin gasps, horror filling his eyes as he sees what he has done, looking down at Amelia laying on the floor.

he repeated. "I swear. I would never—" I looked up at him, let my eyes do what they were going to do anyway, which was fill, because I was in a high-stress situation and my body had opinions about that regardless of whether I was performing. "I don't understand what I did wrong. I bumped into someone and he caught me so I wouldn't fall and now everyone is saying—" My voice caught. "I don't know what I did." Damien was very still.

‎Inside the Store ‎Cat rushed in, slightly out of breath, her heart beating faster than it should for something so simple. ‎“I swear, this is how people lose their phones forever,” she muttered under her breath, half annoyed and half anxious. ‎In her hurry, she wasn’t paying proper attention to where she was going— ‎And suddenly— ‎Bam! ‎She bumped straight into someone. ‎“Oh God, I’m so sorry!” Cat said quickly, stepping back immediately. ‎Coffee splashed slightly from the cup the other person was holding, but thankfully, it wasn’t hot enough to cause any real damage.

i muttered, hoping that my clumsy self does not further drag attention to me. But of course, my body had a mind of its own, my left foot walking right in front of the right, cause me to trip. I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact that never came. “gosh you stink!” the person that caught me said, practically shoving me off of him like i was some kind of disease. I could not hold it back any more. Hot tears ran down my face as my eyes scanned the room. Some people were laughing, others unbothered and some? They held disgust.

And I was so ashamed that I gave them the peace sign and immediately exited. Crap! That's crazy! Am I lost? So I immediately went down the stairs and almost ran down the hall. ~boogsh~ Suddenly someone bumped into me and I lost my balance so I was very close to whoever bumped into me but when I looked back he also lost his balance so we both fell to the floor. He's under me on top. It's a cliché, isn't it? But what can I do, it happened.

Alden just wanted to get away from the place that starved of oxygen, or he didn't know what else was going to happen that would make him so embarrassed. There was a famous rule called Murphy's law, which stated that if anything can go wrong, it will. Sure enough, something even more shameful happened immediately afterwards. As he had just taken a bath, the floor of the bathroom was a little slippery. Alden walked so fast that he stepped on the water without noticing. With a slip, he was about to fall over. Dennis who had been watching Alden all the time, strode towards him and put an arm round his waist the moment he slipped.

POV: ELI Something feels wrong before I can put a name to it, and it crawls up my spine while I am still pretending the day is normal. I am halfway down the street when my feet just stop. I don’t decide to stop. They just do. Someone almost walks straight into my back. “Dude,” a guy mutters, pissed. “Sorry,” I say automatically, stepping aside, but my eyes are already moving, already counting. Too many people not moving.

Back in my dorm, I was scrolling through my phone when a male classmate sent me a link. He asked, "Is that you in this video?" I opened the link. A video popped up immediately. It was footage of me outside the bar that night—Axel shoving me to the ground, humiliating me. But my face was still visible. And so was his. The thought that my whole class might have seen me like that flooded me with shame. In the video, I lay there unconscious, limp, completely at someone's mercy. Someone in the comments recognized me. [Isn't that the pure campus queen from the university next door?]

The person speaking slipped, fell and used his nose to hit a stray pipe. "You should be more careful. You can't injure yourself more than you already have." "Whatever!."

And I don’t know any tricks to conceal them. But thankfully, the people here are careless in their haste, jostling and shoving without so much as a glance. A man bumps into me hard enough to make me stumble, and though I curse under my breath, I keep moving, keeping my head low. The less attention I draw, the better.
