Last of May

Some people came into our lives like the first bud of a flower that blooms in March, but a few of them fell and died out as the end of May nears.

*~*

If there's Friday the thirteenth, then there's last day of May for Rai -- as certain deaths of her loved ones befell on that day. Wanting to have a quiet life for the last year of her senior high, she tried drowning her own thoughts and grief by reading books. Not knowing that she's unconsciously starting to cage herself within the comfort of her own bubble. Until an unexpected encounter involving a crazy, weird boy -- known as Clint -- ruined her quiet life in a heartbeat, on that gloomy May afternoon.

Dying grief. Stifling regret. Rusted dreams.

As a new beginning and unconventional friendship bud between them, the dreadful coming end of May forebodes yet another goodbye.
