Not Everything Lasts

Chapter 2

A week passed. And it was still summer days. No money + No classes = Walang gala

So as a good citizen. Stay at home and do chores and sleep. This was my daily routine. As boring as it sounds it really is. But it's all worth it when you lie dowm in bed and sleep.

Three days have passed and it was now a friday. When I woke up I checked my phone for messages. There were and I expected them to be all advisories or ads or just group messages. I was exactly right. But one text caught my attention

From: +639-unknown number
Youth Night tonight 6PM @ church. See ya there. Invite your friends too.

Okay? I don't really join this kind of events but my little brother wanted to join. I asked my little sister if she was going so I wouldn't have to. Turns out she wasn't. So I was left with no choice but to go.

When we arrived some people greeted us and well it's common courtesy to greet others back when they greet you. As my brother walked to some of his friends. I was sitting somewhere where the plastic chairs were stockpiled

"Hey you, lets walk home together again" I immediately knew who this person was. Yeah, Lyka. I didn't respond and just looked at her and nodded. After that she left and sat somewhere else. I headed out to where my brother was and sat next to him. Throughout the activity. I was bored. I know we all were taught to listen to the word but damn. Nothing went through my mind except for the fact that I was sleepy.

Snacks and drinks were now arranged after the activity. Me and my brother both ate. After we finished, we decided to head out know. While we were now close to the place where we were about to get a ride home my phone vibrated. A message. I took my phone out and read it.

+639-another unknown number
Hey! I thought we were going to walk home together? >:(

Uhh okay? How did this girl get my number? I'll have to ask her later when I have load. I put my phone back and we decided to head home.

In all honesty. I was a bit guilty but then. I couldn't care less.

Author's note: In case you were wondering why the setting is at church. Well, kasalanan ko ba na dun nangyayari mostly mga events?
