When work time ends and I board the bus, I scramble for a seat by the window to watch strangers pass by, every person with a struggle, a story to tell. One that the entire world will shake upon hearing yet not change.
Problems came in d...
I finally decided in the middle of night to stand up to drink water after a period of tossing and turning on the bed. I grabbed my phone with a grunt in frustration. I found a notification lying there in my Lock Screen as I drank water. I decided to open it to see who it was knowing I had blocked that number from that day.
::: how do you feel waking up and sleeping everyday knowing someone died because of you? Murderer
I slammed my phone on the counter and broke into a cold sweat as my heart raced in panic. I wanted to know who was behind those keyboards, I needed to know.
::: who are you?
I ended up waking up intermittently the rest of the night while waiting for a reply to my text but I didn't get one. I started my day, tired as usual as I headed to the kitchen after getting dressed for work.
At the sight of a black insect in the sink, I panicked and flushed it with the water in my bottle and I watched it try to climb back up into the basin through the sinkholes but it couldn't, so it sank instead.
"So, when do you plan to tell me about the boy who's driving to our house almost every day?" Jake leaned on the doorway as I downed my beverage which I hoped will get me the energy to make it through the day.
"Harry didn't shut up, did she?" I asked him.
"What have you got on her? She won't even tell me his name," he complained as he watched me pass by him.
"It's my secret," I sneered at him as I grabbed my jacket. I checked my phone again to see if there was any reply yet but I found Kai's message instead.
:::on your driveway, princess
I melted, I found myself forgetting everything and smiling that instant. In realization, I stopped myself from smiling but I couldn't dispute the fact that his text made my heart full for no reason. I wondered if it was the pet name that did the trick or just the thought of having him by my side at the office today.
Amidst all of my misery, I made a mental note to get rid of the crush I had developed for Kai Marece.

Two months ago, I was happy when the counselor gave me the option of combining summer school and internship. I strongly believed that I was prepared and ready to do it. I didn't realize how much it was going to take from me.
I had worked through half of Mrs Smith's work with Kai's help but as soon as he got busy with Rita Valdez in the printing room, my trouble started.
I usually worked better with computers but today I was too stressed to work with anything. I drifted into a thought of nothingness as the dancing words in front of me blurred with the tears in my eyes.
