Romans & histoires Were They On A Break

"Yeah, I know that. Where were you anyway? Did you get a lift? How’d you get home?" Her eyes dimmed as everyone looked at her. She swallowed her sandwich and waved dismissively. "Boring. Not worth talking about. Don’t ask again, or I’ll throw up on you." Something wasn’t right. The bell rang, signaling the end of break. Natalie sighed as Leo began gathering his books. "Guess we all had terrible weekends. No one got laid, went on a date, or got told they tasted good." Leo made a face. "Ew, Nat. Jesus Christ. Succubus much?"

Penny agreed, and went back to folding the clothes. Audrey took a seat, and in her calm soothing voice asked, "How are you Penny?" Penny gave her a weird look. "I'm fine. We have seen each other like Fifty times today. Why did you ask me that?" Audrey tapped her fingers on the table. "Definitely not Fifty times. There's no need to exaggerate. I haven't talked to you about.. You know... The break up.... since you returned because I didn't want to push you when you weren't ready to open up. I know that you have been through a lot lately, and I just want to make sure that you are okay"

Susan bit the nail on her thumb as she was deep in thought. “Hey, stop that! You want nails for your wedding, remember?” Brad pushes her hand away from her mouth. “So have you been to the doctor yet?” Just then Erica came out of the classroom into the hallway. “Oh my Gawd you guys, that was like so hard.” Brad nodded in response, but both he and Susan stood there quietly. “Why are you two just standing here? We are off until January. Why don’t you go celebrate?” “Oh, we will. Don’t you worry,” Brad responded. “We are just discussing plans for break.”

He said. “But we just came out from a break and we resumed today,” I answered. “Yes Mrs Blackwood, you might think you have rested but you didn’t, your brain was still functioning actively and that’s what I mean when I said you need to rest. You have to stop thinking about work and anything stressful.” He said. “But I didn’t think about anything when we were on the break, you can ask Mr. Blackwood, we were together all through the break. None of us spoke about work and none of us thought about anything.” I said looking at Nath.

My deskmate couldn't help herself and leaned closer, whispering, "What's going on with them?" I cast a calm glance in their direction and replied, "We broke up, that's all." My voice wasn't loud, but it carried far enough. The table fell silent, and several heads turned toward us in surprise. "What? You two were so close—why would you break up?" "Yeah, didn't you plan to get married after university?" "Thor, didn't you love Aisha?" Thor said nothing. His silence was louder than any denial. My chest ached, but I raised my voice just enough. "We just weren't right for each other."

I was asked. “I need to think about it. Let’s take a break and we will pick up first thing tomorrow morning,” I recommended to everybody. Nobody had to be told twice. They had been training full days steady, and a break was well deserved. As I turned and chuckled watching some of them run off to have a night with their mates, I noticed Carson was coming out to the field.

But tonight, the quiet felt less tense and more like something delicate neither wanted to disturb too soon. Rowan’s expression flickered a bit but disappeared quickly. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees as he looked down at the ground. "Technically," he began, his tone sharper now, "we weren’t sneaking around behind your back." Frank let out a scoff. "Oh, here we go." "I’m fucking serious," Rowan continued, glancing up briefly. "You and Atlas were on a break, remember? That’s what people do on breaks. They see other people."

"And your meetings?" "I'll attend via facetime. I'm also part of this whole thing you know. Even though I'm certain things will eventually go back to normal, I can't help but worry about you, Jason, Sera and Bella and even myself. With that state of mind, I'm not sure I would be able to do much at the office but I'll try to see what I can do from home." "Sera said you guys are on a week break at school." "Yeah!' Gabby answered casually. They usually have a week break before revision week. It happens when exams are close by.

“Oh, come on.” Case whined, “Aren't you on a break? Don't you know what being on leave means? Every time you are on break, you can't sit still at all and insist on running off to do some free labor you call charity.” He gave Noah’s silky hair one last good ruffle before letting go.

“Good morning, Director.” “Isabelle,” Director Joe greeted warmly. His tone was the same as always. “Did you sleep well?” “Yes, thank you. We’re on our way to set right now.” “Ah… about that,” Director Joe chuckled lightly, a sound that immediately made her pause. “I called to tell you something. The production will be taking a one-week break starting today.” Isabelle blinked, completely taken off guard. “…A break? Today?” “Yes. Everyone is packing up now.”
