Ayazu

Jake Brown is a starting freshman in college who has absolutely no experience falling in love, let alone be in a romantic relationship. All he ever did was study. One day, he was involved in a serious accident which caused him to have a concussion and since then had memory gaps and rifts. Fast forward on the first day of college he comes across Rose Sanchez. Fate plays its part and entangles the two into a swirl of emotions as they ‘get to know each other’. Will they get past the serendipity test? Or will they get overcome by the serendipity curse? Will they commemorate how they are related? Or will the secrecy of their past be buried and retained in the past?

Lost in Serendipity

I woke up in an unfamiliar place. All I remembered was that I was in class back on campus. I couldn't initially remember what happened last night. As I woke my senses together and tried to sit up, I felt something grabbing my hand. Jake was with me. 'Did he sleep here? Wait, why is he here in the first place? Why am I here in the first place?' 


As I tried to recall the happenings last night, I regained some short visions of my memories. Oh! My! Gosh!  I hit myself a lot of times on the head blaming myself for being so careless. I didn't spill all the beans though right? At least according to my memory. I was touched that Jake brought me here and even spent the night watching over me. He really hasn't changed. It's just that he's forgotten about me. I noticed that his face and build has actually really matured. He looked handsome and cute then, but he looks handsome and mature now, well at least on his looks because his attitude seems to have remained pretty much the exact same.


His hand just moved. I think he's going to wake up. I immediately pretend that I was still asleep. I try to tease his memory up by 'talking' up in my 'sleep', "Jake, why can't you remember me?" In my mind, I was trying to imagine what would be his reaction. And so, I pretended to just be starting to wake up and slowly opened my eyes just to see his curious face.


I try to play dumb by asking him what had happened last night and saying that I can't really remember. The doctor came into my room and told me that I could be discharged and warned me not to overexert my efforts on things, especially on an empty stomach. 'What can I do though? I can't really always afford to buy my food since I use my student insurance and student loan strictly on my tuition fees in the university, at least until I find a sponsor.' 


I thanked Jake for staying by my side despite 'not' knowing me. I wasn't really expecting for anything to happen. But he suddenly asked me, "Hey Rose. Should we be friends?" Now I'm not going to lie, it hurts to be in the friendzone with someone you really like, but in my case, being friends is more than enough, for now at least.
