Found it (Short Story) 2700 words

"I'm done. I don't believe in love anymore"

Contemplating in the black sanded beach and when the waves crashes to the shore, the memories recurs all the joyful happenings when we were together. As the seabreeze touches my eyes the pungent sirocco entered my iris and that goes along with the fluid in my eyes began to shed tears. Holding tightly the sand feeling like the point of the needle stitches my palms. And I said "I'm a queen with or without."

Back when we were together

We were really hitched to each other. That was my unbelievable feelings that I got attached into him. In all of my suitors, the love for him I felt was sincere. He is a tall guy with a sexy lips, a seducing eyes, and a sporty. After class hours he always goes to my school to accompany me to go home. We were really happy back then, we play jokes to each other. Everytime I have a training for dancing, he guard or watch me dance even it's dark outside and the big thing is his house is far. Until the time reached that he replied so cold. I hope when they ask you about me and you find yourself thinking back on all of our memories, I hope you ache in regret as the truth hits you like a bullet and you find yourself replying; "she loved me more than anyone else in the entire world and I destroyed her." but in my mind I am a feeling woman and I don't need a man. People come and go so if he think he "played" me ,but who ended up losing ? I mean what did l lose? a boy that didn't appreciate what I did for him ? what did you let go ? a girl that would go out of her way to please you, and someone that rode with you thick and thin. a girl who loved you regardless of your flaws.You can easily be replaced, buta girl like me? good luck finding a girl who put up with you like I did, sorry but u played ur own damn self. I even remembered how I let him go and cried after I was replaced with a acolyte of church. So I message him "We gotta end this, it's not my intention to leave you but I know where this relationship goes.I know about your side chick yoooo I'm still better than her where is our agreement that if you'll find another girl make sure that it's more beautiful than me, but I'm good now. Sorry we really have dispargements that is which we can't hold it anymore. But thank you anyways thank you for giving me a chance to find someone better than you. This is the end of you and me. "

It's been 10 months and I haven't seen a replacement of that guy. I even made a jangle with his side chick which is he substituted me with a girl that is near on him or let's call his "classmate" which now they're already done and the last guffaw is on me with the raised eyebrow and a smirk. And when I heared gossips that she called me "unattractive", I felt so indignant at the same time I how could you accept being called "unattractive" when you know yourself that you're more gorgeous than her so I immediately chatted her like I want to strike her a keyboard in her face and this how it goes.

"Hi hobo, was 'bout to give no time 'bout you but I heard you're talking 'bout me. Gossips that makes me in a mood for chaos. Sorry to interupt but you're too fortunate talking to me now. You might have forgotten what you are hitting. You really find yourself pretty huh? yet your looks' too common. God my skin care cost pricey than you. Save your skin or I'll tear that shit off. Ohhh shoot heard 'bout your rumors.Protect it, it may ruin your reputation. It's alright if you're hot and smart as me but biiiitch, you're just a piece of rubbish to me. So breathe for now, I'll give you air. Free to challenge me, you'll lose cus I got more attitude than you.AND watch out cus you two won't last. Now shoooo shady biatch! Je m'en fous"

"Huh? What did I do to you"

"Heard gossips that you called me 'unattractive'? Don't pretend you don't know cus my friend reported it to me from your friends in your school. Sad for you, even your friends are back stabbing you hahahah. Now prick, admit it!"

"Sorry but I didn't say anything that can hurt you and I don't want to argue"

"Be careful with me because I'm more venomous than you.

Whether you said it or not I'm telling you.I was thinking the same too you're ugly as me too but you're even uglier. But thank you anyways for your opinion infairness you're the only one calling me that in my whole life.hahahha. And also you're a perfect definition of ''PAIN IN THE EYES''. AND GET AN EYE TEST SIS, YOU NEED THAT, MAYBE YOUR STIGMATISM ARE HIGHER THAN YOUR CHARACTER OKAYYYY TIME, SHUTTING THE DOOR AND GET SOME MANNERS."

The relieve I felt was smooth. I didn't expected that because I'm really a long tempered person and it just happened with a forthright attack or you haven't yet moved on girl? The sensation I felt was relief after I lump her in the throat knowing that she even can't attack me because she's a puppy.

"Look after your girl cus she might be traumatised to everything I said. Doncha worry I just gave her basic learnings in life cus maybe she haven't experienced the overabundance of schooling. Flick the mouth outta your girl cus man, she lacks of respect." I said to my ex and I feel like I was possessed with a 6 evils.I was awake in the Reality that I stopped liking somone thatI liked a lot and suddenly notic that he was a shitty person and realize how blinded I wa by how much you liked them.

Until this one day, I got a text from a stranger. I was wondering who it was. Of course who can get the eyebrows high till I read on my text message.

"Hi, is this Billy? "

"Yeah.Who's this?"

" the handsome mankind"

"maybe an ambitious"

" don't be such a keyboard-lunatic. You really tap your cellphone angrily"

"where are you? I will really throw a book on you"

I was at the library where my sister was assigned, but I really study in the city and that time was there's no class so I went to our province so I can rest and help

"I'm in front of you."

"oh really? I'm facing a mop. Suits how you treat me. "

"hahahahah I will give you hint. I'm a varsity of the school here and you really knew me so much. It's really different right? When you really study to city, you've changed. It's really unusual when you're being called city girl now."

"If I will really caught you. Ready to be slapped. Challenge me, give me a clue"

"I'm wearing white"

"Are you dumb. Of course who will not gonna wear uniform in Mondays yet it's the school's policy"

"Do you know sarcasm? Why would I tell you my name?you're too quick, you escalated quickly marupok te? Single? Single? You're really pretty Billy, I adore you since grade 7.

I was really thinking who it was. And I cannot remember a single 'bad luck' to my junior years. So I grabbed my phone again and started calling him so I can know who it was

And then suddenly it rang to the corner of the room. And then I suddenly hold the chair and grasp and I peek like my neck got deformed.

WTAF?! I didn't know the person who I was chatting. He got kick out to the library because of the boisterous phone ringing with a black pink ringtone that is so deafening. The clemency I felt was inhuman because he got kick out. So I messaged him to tell him if he's alright.

"Hello. Sorry for what I did. I didn't mean to do that. I was just being inquisitive"

"I feel pity of my friend you got kicked him out"

"What? You used your friend in your dumb doings? You're such an animal. How did you do that to him"

I already told you. Why would I reveal my identity? I quickly hand the phone to him and followed my friend after he got kick out while you're still in a verge of clemency because I know that you're wise but the score is on me now. I'm more brainer than you.

"You're a piece of shit."

"No. I'm already a piece on you. Don't worry I will unveil my identity to you. Not know but soon. Don't be such in a hurry. Bye. We're going to start our classes now. Let's just keep in touch"

"Your mom"

"Your Tita soon. Bye!"

"EW"

. Doncha worry I just gave her basic learnings in life cus maybe she haven't experienced the overabundance of schooling. Flick the mouth outta your girl cus man, she lacks of respect.

After their class hours got ended. I was looking for something to eat in the canteen. How I miss the cheap food there when I was in junior high like empanada, siomai,ginanggang, and all. If like I'm gonna spend my money eating snacks there in the city, it feels like my weekly allowance will be spently gone. As I have in my mind the memories when I was junior high in every corner of the canteen I would remember the countless happenings and looking like I'm out of my mind. As the vendor give the snack that I bought in every cherished snacks that I bought, I handed her the payment and she said "Oh dear you already hot paid by the student here" I was shocked like I bought so many snacks and a stranger paid for me like I was a homeless person in town. So I directly went out because the vendors are like looking at me like I read in their minds "maybe this girl has no money to buy her own food". As I went out, I got a text from the importunate stranger again and texted me

"Hey, are you full yet?"

"Are you thinking like I have no money to buy my own food? "

"Hahahahah I'm just practicing to be your ideal man, you're my wife so I'll feed you. I just want you to come back here"

So I was thinking maybe this guy is really a close friend to me so I made him feel conscience if he don't show his identity

"I will throw these snacks in the garbage if you will not show yourself"

So I put the snacks near the garbage but I put it on the clean slate

"How can I show you myself it's already afternoon and it's time to go home. I'm already at the gate."

So I picked up the snack and eat it like who cares he paid for it and I was tired from helping my sister in the library and it's just a waste if I will not eat it. So I started eating it.......

"You're easily to talk with. I thought you're gonna throw it in the garbage and I saw you eating voraciously there hahahaha"

I was ashamed there and quicked went to the library so I can pack my things so I can get to the bus station so I can go to the city because we will have our classes tomorrow. And as I have in my mind, I will know this stranger maybe he's in the alumni homecoming this coming December 31 and I will focus on my studies for now because in 31 our sembreak will be starting and I can do what I want. I arrived in the city 7pm in the evening and tiredly went off to my bed and I open my phone, I received a message from him again.

"Why did you left me?"

"Are you nuts? We're having our classes tomorrow and what you're gonna let me fail?"

"I was just kidding. Have you eaten yet?"

"Where did you boys got that phrases, where did you workshop for that. You got all the same message like you thought you're gonna make me fall from that words? It will never happen"

"Ouch, I will remember that. Watch out if you will fall in love to me"

"in your face"

"there's a beauty"

"you're making me annoyed. I will really sue you. It's really a harass."

"How can you sue me yonder you know me so well."

I was really tired from travelling so I sleep without replying him and day by day we always text, it's like having him he's like my 'reminder' every hour.even though I don't know him and somehow I will find it out soon who he is.

As day by day we chat, he slipped and give me a prefect clue who he was. I was really shocked and its just not so a close friend to me. "Can you please reveal your identity now?" '' "01000111

01000001

01000010

01101111"

"What's that?"

"Nothing."

what?!!!!! Someone liked me in my freshman year and he was my classmate before. A guy who visits always in our classroom just to make pluck of his eyebrows since we're close in freshman year. I was just secretly keeping that I don't know the binary codes and just waited till the alumni drops off.

So as the alumni came by, I saw him there in a dark area where I went to him and I pinch him saying "Don't you think that I didn't know, who can beat a intelligent girl from that simple binary code. Huh?" he was actually sweating and he was denying that it was not him. Till he confessed that he liked me since we're classmates in grade 7. And who couldn't love him back who always treat me or give me chocolates with no name who gave it. He confessed it all. I was just being insensitive that there is a guy who totally liked me. And there, there goes my favorite song was played when it's time to dance "The night we met by Lord Huron, we danced solemnly and I have in my min thinking I also had a crush on you sincefreshman also and somehow thinking I was just being numb or I was just in a verge of thinking how can I moved on and the bad thing is they're cousins. Day by day, suddenly I fell for him. He really valued me and love me. He actually told my ex that "You know what? You're such a dumb. You replaced her from a slut. When you're in Billy's hands, you were really lucky really. An intelligent girl, talented, beautiful and gorgeous. You're finding for less?" and my heart touched there and I was like prove it love that he really just wasted me. He even beg me to meet his parents and I see how he respect, treasure, and love them by loving me. He taught me how to value things and things that I don't know

We started our relationship, we lift each other up, no matter how hard our situation is, we will do it together and promised we don't break each of our hearts. We all have pasts. We all made choices that maybe weren't the best ones. None of us are completely innocent, but we geta fresh start every day to be a better person than we were yesterday. Everytime I say "im so sorry for my behavior. that's what I am accept me or leave me, thats your choice. i can't do anything about that shit but I found him replying" Dumb. I will stay" and everytime I say "What would you do if I broke up with you?

"Get back with my ex"

"Now I see how much you care,

im done-"

"Hey you wanna go out?"

"Go with your ex."

"You are my ex"

And there he is,I found him, a man that I never want to lose

You're Not The Baby Anymore

Flex, flex, flex... flex is something a person, thing, or money you can brag to other people to make them feel that they have nothing of that particular thing in yours. I strongly flex my sister who made my life more colorful who taught me everything to become a gentry. Sisters are someone the sidekick of our mother to take care of their siblings. They said that sisters are the ones who are advantageous creation of God and our parents. Primarily thought, I don't have much idea what "ate" means but I know that it is what you call to your elder female sibling. And little by little I was having important perception of that word. In our 6 siblings she showed to us not just "only" ate but a sister we can trust, guides us , and someone we can relate to and laugh with. Our role model, our friend and, in our eyes, the best sister anyone could ever have. Ordinarily they give everything to you because they want you to benefit before their sake. In our experience we learned how to fix misconception because of what parents taught us. We don't bicker or fight like most siblings do or get on each other’s nerves so much that we will stop talking to each other for days. We love each other with only a love that a sister can give and an understanding so great that no words can describe it. there is no physical contact or abusive language, only the occasional sharp word or glare. We are so lovey and touchy. I saw myself grow, mature, and develop into an independent beautiful woman that I am extremely proud of because of her. We give each other space but at the same time stick to each other like glue. My sister is the best. The sweetest, kindest, most generous person that you will ever meet. She always has a smile on her face and is always willing to give. I don't know how I ever would have lived without my hero in my life. I consider her as my Mom because I grew with all her arms, sweat and blood. She took care of me while my mother sell for living. She always came late in school due to chores and me. She have to wake up early in the morning to bottle me up and change my diapers at all times till I grew up. Till I reach she’s having a baby....

But In the siblings, we can't avoid being them separated with us. In all laughters and getting sticked with each other, I suddenly noticed that her tummy is getting inflated and I always tease her that she’s really pregnant and she denied it then I just agree with her. 2 months after, she confessed that she’s pregnant in a foreigner from Australia and my soul was shattered because I was replaced with her really own baby and it is a boy. I would never say all this to a family member, as they'd think I was crazy or horrible. And her having a son makes me feel less special. I told her “I’m not your baby anymore” she said “Aww you’re still my baby” and it bring back all the memories, we spent a lot And tying knots again. But we seldomly go along with each other because I’m prioritising my school also because we are also far with each other. Until his due date reached. She’s really busy with her son and I’m feeling nothing. It’s so hard having the most precious person in your life has its own priority now.Sort you’re not used that she’s not your get along person anymore. I don't think anyone can understand but having someone you love that they spend their time with it’s own family. You know for a fact that if you really mean so much to them, everything shall be given naturally. Before,I am not comfortable when I am not with you because I used to count on you all the time,but I have realized that we have different priorities in life so I accept the fact that the quality time with each other became lessen. There is nothing like the bond of sisterhood- I love her so much and I always remind her that I am there for her whenever she needs me.

But I really appreciated the dilegence she’d exerted when I was illiterate until I grew up well-bred. There aren’t enough words or time in this world to describe the love I have for her. She's my best friend and the one who is a person that I can be my crazy self around. My sister's my role model, my hero. I love her with all my aching heart, forever and always. I love my nephew, he's the most divine baby, but I do feel quite jealous. Whenever I see my mom holding him and saying how happy she is to have a grandson, I feel tense. You are my chosen sister’s baby and that means you own a piece of my heart and you always will. . I am watching you grow like a sold out groupie on band tour. I have loved every minute of watching the person you’re becoming as also your Mom did to me. I will be watching your back when you get to those hards years. No matter what you do or how old you grow I will always remember when you were fresh and tiny. I’ll always remember the day your mama told me she was pregnant. I can remember the joy so clearly I can touch it. I remember the way your mama looked at you when she held you in her arms. She looked at you like you hung the moon and she still does. Your mom is stuck with me, and so are you.The problem is really all in my head and I realise I just need to get over myself.
