Catching Firefly (Firefly Series #1)

Three Lev

"Before you speak, try to calm yourself."

Chapter 4

Three Lev

I STARED at them for almost a minute.

Seeing that bastard makes my blood hotter than boiling water. I gave him a deadly glare while I only looked head to toe at the one next to him, who was so cute, like a lost child in our section.

The idiot walked first and sat not far from me. He is on my left side, next to Levinne.

"Uhm. Sorry for his rudeness. By the way, he is Meendeelev Brixx Sanchez."

We looked at the behaviour of what he said was Brixx. Front sitting while chewing bubble gum. I hope you are disappointed! "And I am Levi Hughes Declan," he smiled at us before he sat down. And what's most shocking? He was coming towards me.

He sat down in front of me.

Wait! Did I hear it right?

Meendeelev Brixx Sanchez...

Levi Hughes Declan...

Did I hear their names correctly?

T-They also both have Lev in their names.

Meedeelev? Levi?

Let's include Levinne.

My eyes widened at what I realized. Jusko! Is this real? I just met those three guys with Lev on their names?

Is this a sign? Would it be possible to meet the Lev I remember from my childhood?

Confused, I quickly took out my journal and opened it. As I opened my notes, I saw the list of Lev's characters.

Lev's Character Checklist

[_] Artist

[_] has hazel eyes.

[_] honest/Judgemental

[_] not effective in advising

[_] The person who believes in my will

[_] Cute

[_] Sadboy

I know what I wrote before was meh because I was only thirteen years old when I wrote this checklist. The expression on his face that day really saddens me.

"Maybe... if I give it a title... Undying Lights is the one I'll choose."

"Why?"

"Because... fireflies never fail to provide me with hope. They are the light bearers. For me, the fireflies will not die, even in the morning. Their light of hope never fails to inspire courage... Their light signifies everything. Even if they disappear from this world, we will never forget that they were once the reason that we lived with hope in the midst of darkness."

I was inspired by his words at the time to continue writing. He's right, he's not the type of person who is good at giving advice when there's a problem, but he's the type of person you need whenever you need someone to talk to.

When I walked in the dark, he was my firefly. He lights my path and pushes me to venture outside my comfort zone.

And he is the only person who can do that to me.

I stopped in my tracks when someone suddenly grabbed my journal. I looked at the net holder and saw Aaron reading it.

"Uy! Journal ni Miss Malcom..." He started turning the pages while I quickly chased after him to get it.
