I escaped his grasp and immediately made my way
towards the escalator, looking for a washroom.
It hurts. I feel suffocated.
When I entered one of the cubicles inside the washroom,
I promptly sat on the water closet.
Again, tears engulfed my eyes until I was dried up. I
wiped off the excess on my cheeks and then made my way
towards the mirror.
Just looking at how ruined I am made me look pitiful
and pathetic. How can I cry for a man like that?
A chuckle escaped my lips. I washed my face to sober
my feelings away and then applied a quick makeup.
After a few minutes, I exited the washroom and went to
the ice cream shop. I ordered one scoop of vanilla and sat at the
corner. People were busy brushing past each other on the outside
with gaping smiles on their faces. I hope I can do the same.
Watching movies was already out of my list. It spoiled
my mood earlier but then again, why should I bother thinking
about him over and over?
After spending a few minutes inside the place, I slowly
made my way towards the tricycle terminal. It was located near a
pizza parlor to which I heard people gossiping.
I just wanted to get a glimpse of the same place I worked
before but who would have thought I'd hear some people
talking?
"You know the owner of that famous pizza parlor? He
said he wanted to sell the shop."
I turned my head towards the people only to see them
talking from a distance. I walked towards them, eavesdropping
until I noticed the placard set on the door.
The shop was indeed for sale and the contact
information was displayed.
I stared at it for a few seconds, thinking before taking
my phone out. I took a photo of the information and finally
headed my way towards the tricycle terminal. I think the contact
would come in handy.
Days passed and it was now my first day in 12th grade.
Miranda and I went to school early. This is her first time
coming to the university, knowing that she's actually a biology
teacher in junior high.
Upon my eyes set itself across the same corridor, a smile
crept into my face. I'm currently studying at Himalayas
University, the same as Oddette however...
"I'll go to the faculty for the time being," Miranda said to
which I nodded.
"Enjoy." We bid ourselves goodbye and I headed
towards the classroom.
She messaged me last night and told me I have to come
alone today due to her staying at her aunt's.
When I arrived at the classroom, I chose a seat close to
the window. I would be able to feel the cool breeze from this
location and how I'll be able to see people enjoying themselves
in PE.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" As I lifted my gaze
towards the person who patted my shoulder, I saw Oddette
staring at me with a wide smile on her face.
Ever since that incident where I met Oddie at the mall, I
chose not to bring him up. I don't have any intentions being
engaged with him anymore and so my lips curled into a grin.
"It's nothing," I replied.
My best friend's mouth then muttered, "Finally, Monette
left the house.
