SOMEDAY (a JaDine Fanfic)

CHAPTER 4

James

I love mornings. So fresh. So happy. Just the thought of it makes me wanna smile to everyone, which is what I'm doing right now.    

Nadine

I hate mornings. I hate that I'd have to start again, when the sun's up in the sky and the moon and the stars are nowhere in sight. I hate people who smile at me even if they don't know me. And I hate smiling to people. I just wanna keep my head down. I went to the shore alone and sat on the white sand. It felt really really good.    

James

I was walking along the shoreline when I saw someone sitting on the sand. And I thought I was alone. Maybe this girl could use some company. I approached her and sat beside her. She looked at me, straight into the eyes. Her eyes-- they're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. She is beautiful. Like an angel with no wings. Like the sunset, you never get tired of looking at her. I smiled. She just stared at me.    

Nadine

He smiled at me. I stared at him. He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen. "Hey," he said. I ran.    

James

She got up and ran away. What did I do? Did I scare her? But I want to talk to her. I got up and ran after her, but she ran faster.    

Nadine

I saw him running after me. I ran faster. What does he want from me? He doesn't know me. I don't know him.    

James

I watched her as she disappeared. Who's that girl? Why did she run away? I walked my way to our villa, with my mind still wondering why she ran away. I saw Chet smiling at me but I didn't look at him. Steph was talking with Mark when they noticed me pass them by.  

"Hey, bro! Wait up!" I heard Mark calling after me. I didn't stop walking. Mark finally caught up with me and grabbed my arm.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He half-yelled.

"Nothing."

"C'mon, bro, tell me. You know you could, right?"

"Yeah."

"Spill them beans."

"You'd laugh at me."

"No, I wouldn't. I promise."

"You'd tell the others."

"Alright, James, you sound like a kindergarten shit. I won't tell anyone."

"I met a girl-

"Woah-oh! What's she like? With them curves, eh?"

"No! No, she's not like that. She's...different."

"Oh, like fat? Beach-ball-fat kind of thing?" He laughed.

"No, man. When I sat beside her, she stared at me. Her eyes-- they're beautiful."

"Pretty baby boy is in love, universe!"

"But when I talked to her, she ran away."

"She-- RAN AWAY?"

"Yeah."

"Who the hell runs away from you? From us? That's unbelievable."

"I told you she's different."

"Maybe she's mute. And she doesn't wanna embarass herself."

"No, she's not. I knew it. But even if she was, I don't really care."

"Woah. You sound so gay."

"I need to find her."

"Don't. Believe me when I say she'd come to you."

"You're lucky to be so sure."

"No, seriously." He said. I let out a sigh.

"Bro, just trust me, alright? Now let's go back to the others, we don't want them to worry about us." He said, patting my shoulders.

"Okay." And we went back to the villa where the others were waiting for us.    

Nadine

"Where have you been, baby?" Mum said when she saw me enter the front door.

"Dun lang po, sa dagat."

"Oh, maganda ba?"

"Opo."

"Sige, pupunta din kami ni Daddy doon mamaya."

"Sige po, mummy. Sa kwarto lang po ako."

"Oh, sige. Tatawagin nalang kita pag handa na ang almusal."

"Okay po, mummy."  

I went to my room and sat on my bed. Who's that guy? Why was he sitting beside me? It's not like I didn't want him to, but it was the first time a guy sat that close to me. What's he up to? I can tell by the looks of him, he has a lot of friends. As cliché as Park thought his parents' love was, my heart skipped a beat when I saw him. His smile, it's the kind of smile that makes you wanna be a snowman in summer. His eyes, they're like the ocean-- vast and deep and full. Like it could tell stories. When I looked at him, I wanted to tell him that he scares me. And I wanted him to know that I don't wanna be scared. That I'm tired of being scared. I don't know his name. He doesn't know mine. I wish it wasn't always like this.    

James

I wanna know her name. I wanna know her. When I saw her eyes, it was like there's something she wanted me to know. And when she ran away, I could tell that she was scared. The reason why, I did not know. It's already 11 in the evening and I'm still thinking about her. What would it be like if we talked? What would she look life if she smiled? Even more beautiful? I don't know, I'm going crazy. This is crazy. I've never been this crazy about a girl before. And I've never felt this bothered. Jesus. This is crazy. I went to the pool when I saw Mark and Steph swimming. I need to swim. So I went out.    

Nadine

It's 11 and I can't sleep. I need to think. And there's only one thing in the world that's left for me to do. I went to the terrace where the pool was and found out that it was locked. Mum must've forgotten to unlock it. I grabbed my swim suit and changed. I then tiptoed my way out. It's dark outside. The moon and the stars are the only source of light. It's good, tho, the last thing I needed was a well-lit place, anyway. I got in the water and it felt like heaven.    

James

Just when I was about to get in the water, I realized that someone was in there. I couldn't actually make everything out because there's just the light from the moon and the stars but I could tell that she's a girl. She must've noticed that somebody else was there because she stopped swimming to look at me and I froze.    

Nadine

I can't move. I wanted to get up and run-- again, but I can't, it was like my feet were frozen and so were my hands and my mind and my eyes. But my heart wasn't. It was beating too fast and loud, I was afraid that he'd hear it. I stood there, staring at him.
