~Concine's

I woke up with the sun's light shining to my face. I can hear the bird's chirping.

Today's my first day of summer. Yay!

'Today's a good day!'

I stand up, heading to my bathroom to take a quick shower. I'm going to go to Mr. Delfin's shop to sell my old stuffs.

When I came down to kitchen to get a sandwich my mom yelled, "Concine! Are you going to Mr. Delfin's today?"
"Yes, mom!" I yelled back. She's at her room upstairs.
"Come here, take these old clothes I got." She called.

Uggh! So noisy.

"Mom! Can you go down here? So that I can hear you? You keep shouting this early!" I yelled.

After I got her old clothes, I headed up to our frontyard to get my bicycle.

When I passed by the park, I saw a girl and a boy looking so sweet eating ice cream, then a family having picnic.

Then I thought, "These are the things I don't have. A complete family, a loving boyfriend."

I thought about what had happened 3 weeks ago-
Then I headed immediately to Mr. Deldinf's. I parked my bike beside his cute little gate. Then knocked.

"Come in!" I heard him said.

When I got inside, he said,
"Oh, Concina! Got some stuffs again?"

He knew me very well, because I come here very often to sell some stuffs.
"Yes, got some old books here and my mom's old clothes." I answered.

"Just put them in here, please." He ordered.
I put them in his desk. Then he gave me the money. When I got out, I immediately grab my bike then headed to the park. Then suddenly, a boy just run then- BOOOOGSSSSH!!

~Lorenzo's

"Babe, is it delicious? This is your fave flavor, right?"

"I bought it for you!"

I'm here at the park with Aira, my girlfriend. We're eating her favorite mango-flavored ice cream. Which she's acting really quiet and I don't know what's wrong with her. We've been together for 6 months.
And now, she's really acting weird, that it makes me feel nervous.

"C'mon. Eat it, babe." I said in a sweet voice. Which I found really cheesy.
She just nod and started eating it.

On the third bite, she stopped.

"What's wrong? Does it tastes bad?" I asked.
"No, no, no. I just wanted to talk to you." She said.
"Eat first then we'll talk, okay?" I said, then saw an expression in her face that makes me feel really nervous.
"I'm sorry, Lorenzo." she
started crying.
"What's wrong?" Now I'm confused.

"Let's break up." Then she ran away.

I found myself dumbfounded. What did she just said? Did she really broke up with me? What did I've done wrong? Maybe she found someone else? No. No. I thought. Why did it was easy for her to telk me that? Was I bad boyfriend?
I gave her my all. All the efforts, love, care, I even devoted myself to her.

With my devastation, I ran away. Knowing I have nowhere to go. I almost can't see anything because of my tear almost falling down.

Then suddenly, there's something that hit me. I can see a pink bicycle.
I didn't feel anything, just my heart won't stop aching. The ache that Aira had caused.
"Aira, please come back. To me."
