GURGEN POV:
"Your vacation felt surely adorable." My one classmate said. I don't know I just used to imagined everything before I am going to sleep then I realized I am in that place at the same time.
One of my favorite dream is when I went to Japan that has build into my dreams. I go to school and every hall way has the falling leaves of Sakura.
"Ahhh yeah it so wonderful to be there every moment there I am cherishing. I want to be there always. And went to their school to study. Everything there was very pretty and unique." I just said with a smile.
"You know what next time when you will go in that place again. Can we go together?? I wanted to go there too. Take selfies, and have a nice/ relaxing vacation."
I don't know also why I can bought this picture of me with me when it is all a dream??
I think deep. But suddenly the bell rang so that I go into my sit and listen to the teacher announcement.
"So class we will having a founding anniversary next week. We have pageant there and we have to find our representative for this. Let's have nomination if ever there is no one volunteer." Our teacher just said .
"Ma'am Shen I suggest to have nomination so that everyone will agree." Ms. President of class said and smile.
"Ok the nomination is open."
"I nominate Ms. Gurgen Louve Huxley for that pageant, she is very suitable for this ma'am. " My best friend Courtney said. I don't know what to react or something.
"Me ma'am, I nominate Bleu Micaela Marchesa." Ok here this girl is always being my rival sometimes enemy.
"Ok I'll close the nomination. Who's in favor of Ms. Huxley?" They raised their hands and by that the teacher counts it. " What about Ms. Marchesa?" She did counting again.
"The nomination for the pageant is goes to Ms. Huxley. So Ms. Huxley be ready you're the one representative here. So that's it class you all need to prepare intermission number. Thank you and good bye."
After that some of Supreme Student Government get inside in the classroom for a sudden confiscation.
It is always the morning routine of SSG after flag ceremony. In this school cellphone is not prohibited. It was stated in the school protocols.
I did go to rest room to have retouch and to pee. But suddenly bump into someone. Am I too short? Or am I just invisible to that guy I bumped?? It doesn't matter, I will just let this one pass because I need to pee.
As I reach the rest room. I encountered a lot of mean girls there. Probably they are fixing their make up there. I peed and get my lip balm and lipstick instantly then apply into my lips. And there I was stunned I saw familiar face which is one of the mean girl. She's my childhood enemy since grade 3.
GURGEN POV:
I am Gurgen Louve Huxley. My course is Business Management. My hobbies are reading books, dancing and also singing. A college student who loves to dream. I tend to create my own dream to be realistic. I travel a lot by dreaming. I meet different people in every place I go.
I am at the library now looking for a report resources that can be source of knowledge before the preliminary Examination came.
"Hey Courtney," someone called my bestfriend behind my back.
"Uhh, what?" Courtney said with an arched eyebrows. I automatically furrowed when I saw Courtney's boyfriend. Maybe later they will go out for lunch or maybe dinner. It's always like that when they are going. "Oh sorry babe it's you."
"You two can literally go now. Before I can see PDA. Okay??" I said to the both of them
"Uhm, actually you can join, if you wanted to. But if not it's okay. We will just watch Basketball league of your ex. If you didn't want to we will not force you. Alright? " Lance said which is the boyfriend of Courtney.
"Ok I will join but make sure I am not going to be like the third party huh?" I said with a tone of voice alight raising.
"Still you can invite your brother or maybe your sister."
"Okay." I just said and nod politely
I doubt it. I will see him again later? My gosh it's been a long time but still I can't moved on from what we have right now. I think he really grow a lot after he chooses this kind of life, instead of me. Yeah right I can say that when are still together I am so toxic. But I can't just imagine that we are so far from each other now. I'm so happy that he growed up without my toxicity. I come up with this right decision.
So since I am still here in library and the two lovers left me. I can't stop thinking about Archiles. I don't know why. I think I am just scared on how he will treat me after all. But it'll be fine afterwards. I just need to accept everything he will say if he meets me.
The bell rang
I packed my things and then go into my room we will be having a last class before this day end. It's quite intimidating that I am not a popular one but every step I made I am like a head turner. Everyone in the whole way are looking at me in every step I made. And when I finally reach my classroom I am so shock. Yeah literally my mouth became an 'o'. But I know that surprise is not for me. So that I pretended that I am not surprised.
Well I can't say he was very close with my friend Courtney and to Lance, but I can't deny that people was linking him to the one of my enemy. Which is Bleu.
"Gurgen!" Ok someone called my name. Which I ignore that call because I don't want to have my ex boyfriend attention get on me again.
I reach for my seat as soon as possible.
I directly sit into my preferred seat. This seating arrangement was assigned by my teacher. I don't have a choice but directly sit. Well I just saw him standing in front and something like he was searching for someone out there. Suddenly our eyes meet. And there I saw him smile. But I avoided him. I don't want to initiate. We don't still have closure. And I know to myself that I have still a feeling for him but not so deep.
"Hey Gurgen." this time I look and search who's calling my name. It was Bella my junior high school sister.
I know why is she here. Because he wanted to heard some gossip about Archiles. And make fun of me.
"Yes? What do you need?" I ask her with arched eyebrows.
"I need you to take Archiles over there." She said with slight evilness of tone
" Why would I do that? Do you want to see how silly I am?" Damn she wanted to make fun of me again. Is this really my sister? She always want to see me being embarrassed.
I look around and see Archiles inside the room. Why is he here again? Do he need something.
Hi self this is just a reminder that you are not the one he is searching for why is he here.
GURGEN POV:
I was a bit taken aback and I didn't realize that he was already in front of me. I didn't expect him to come near me. And besides, I avoid that because I don't want to have any attachment from him.
"Hey can I sit?" He ask but I just nod. "You grow a lot." He said again but still slight stunned.
Should I still go on the basketball league later? I think I did a wrong decision. For what else, if I still go?
To show him that even without him I can do a lot of things alone.
"Hi Gurgen." Again I heard him call me Gurgen again. I look at him this time and wanted to do something that I can't explain. I feel like I am still affected from the break up I had fro Archiles. I also feel traumatized.
"Umph what?" I ask him with a timid voice. I look at his hand lying on the top of my table. I was stunned when he hold it comfortably. I saw some eyes, glancing at me,smile that is fading from a popular girls faces. I wish the earth had just swallowed me.
When I saw that faces I knew they would get mad at me right away. So that I let go of his hand easily. Because later on even if we didn't say or speak for it people is very judgemental. They can make issue easily and fast.
I don't like this scene. The sudden interaction again with him. And the glances they made. I don't want to get into trouble again because of Archiles. It is also happened before. I received death treats because of that.
Flashback
I am in the museum central park together with Archiles. It is a Sunday night date.
"What do you want? Love?" He ask me with a hold in my hand.
" I want to pee." He nod as a sign of okay.
"Let's go." He said and hold my hand so tight.
We walk through the comfort room and separated because I will enter the girls comfort room. As I enter it I saw Bleu. Bleu is the one of the popular dean lister here at my school. Apparently she is my best friend back when we are in kindergarten but when we are in elementary she probably became my enemy. She said that why do I always seem like that. I'm the good one, I'm the more praiseworthy. Because she even said that I was being compared by her parents to her.
I do nothing but directly go to the comfort room.
After I peed I retouch my make up. And I was surprised because when I looked in the mirror I saw Bleu again.
She grabbed my hair and said that
"if I could always see you and Archiles together, I would have just killed you. You still don't know why I'm so mad at you and when I do this to you over and over again, aren't you still learning. I love Archiles that's it."
I begged her to stop torturing me. She doesn't seem to remember the things I used to do just for her before. I cried because I am hurt. No one know about this. I struggle on how I will let go from her.
She slap me. I slap her back. She's too much.
"Okay try to slap me again? I will report you to our school. You can lost your dean's scholarship. A bully like you? Damn just because of a man? You are being like th..." I'm not done with what I'm saying when suddenly he slapped me again.
"Go ahead, be tough, I'm not scared of losing that. I lost everything as well as the man I love. Then stay away from Archiles or I will kill you. Yes, I used to be your best friend but not now anymore. That's different, as long as you remember this, I'll do everything just to take Archiles away from you. You are the good one. You’ve got all the attention. What else is left for me? Nothing!" She say what she want to say. Is this the love that she can give for Archiles? She will, she can kill a person just for a love.
Back to reality
I don't know how many seconds, minutes or hours I was stunned.
" Are you okay?" He ask and I just nod. Maybe I really need to forget all of that. It's hard to get along with people if I always think like this.
Though I'm happy even without Archiles. So that's it I learned things. I don't expect us to be okay like before. in case that happens over and over again, someone will hurt me. As they say, love is the twin of pain,but you will learn from it.
