Seeking For Love Under The Sun: End of Summer

                                           CHAPTER 4: End of Summer              


      It's 10 in the morning. The sound of the splashing waves on an empty beach is just perfect. It was not very sunny today, its just cloudy and windy, just the way I like it. Damien and I took a long walk at the beach together as our last time to be together. His flight to Ohio is at 8 p.m. Of course I'm gonna miss him. But, we can't contact each other after this. It's like one of the rules. I thought rules are meant to be broken? Nah, my friends would laugh at me if I still contact him.

    A quiet and windy day, also sad and kinda gloomy too. We sat at the shore of the beach where the ocean kept kissing the shore no matter how many times it's sent away. He always ask me to move to Ohio too. I can't, but then, yeah, maybe one day, though. I went to his house to help him pack his stuff and clean the house. Before I forgot, yes, he lived alone. Such loner.

    That evening, I sent him to the airport and helped him with his bags. He kissed me goodbye, of course. I went home, lie on my bed and think, what now? I scribbled a piece of paper with Damien's name and my actual asshole crush name, Tom. I prefer Damien though. But ugh, over thinking suck.

                                                                       ...

  Hearing my friends laughing at me for missing Damien, annoys me. A lot. I went to Starbucks to actually calm me down. I lied to my friends that I'm going to the toilet, surprisingly, no one wants to follow me there so bingo. As I sat down on the cozy sofa, I dramatically realized that this is the Starbucks where Damien and I accidentally met. Damn it, it is hard to move on.

  Oh shoot, I forgot that tomorrow is prom. I'm now kinda single and no one asked me to go to prom with them yet. I don't have a dress, a partner, oh god I'm not ready yet! Nah, I'll just skip prom, eventhough skipping prom is for losers and I'm sure everyone is going to tease me on my twitter. School is so stressful. School celebrations and events is worse than stressful.

  Ping. I received a text from Tom saying, "y not we go to prom 2gether?" Wow, that escelated quickly. That is not a romantic way of asking but I'm desperate so why not right? And it will make me fall for him and forget Damien, am I right?



THE END.

p/s: i'm actually very very busy with some school stuff so i can't really commit.
p/s: the end. its not really a good end but it left you guys wondering right? (did the airplane crash? did she date tom? did damien come back for her?) there's no sequel or anything, i just want you guys to create your own story in your mind (tbh)
    

Seeking For Love Under The Sun: Summer Love

                     CHAPTER 3: Summer Love

        Tomorrow is the first day of summer and we planned to skate before summer starts. Clara invited us to go to the new ice skating rink in town. Kate, Lea and I agreed. I walked to Kate's house, and her father drove us to the ice skating rink. We went to McDonalds to have breakfast and after that we went to the ice skating rink. This is the first time for Lea to skate so I have to teach her how to skate well. It was really fun and suddenly a guy named Damien approached and greeted me.

       He have a pair of bright blue eyes and curly dark brown hair. He was wearing a grey sweater and a pair of skinny jeans. He asked me if we can go out during tea time which is 1 hour from now. I said yes. Why not? I asked my friends if I can go with Damien for tea time and they were okay with it. So 1 hour has passed and now I'm heading to Starbucks since he promised me that he will wait there. At Starbucks, he was there drinking his caramel frappuccino and ordering me a cotton candy frappuccino, my favourite. Wait, how does he know that is my favourite? Random maybe.

       We talked and talked and suddenly we became friends. We have so many things in common. We both love doughnuts, sushi, The Beatles, and also we both love snakes. We live at the same street too. I wonder why I've never seen him before. He said he is going to move to Ohio by the end of summer. We've been talking for 1 hour so we finished our drinks and we left Starbucks, seperately. I went shopping with my girls after that and I don't know where he went to.

       So Kate, Lea, Clara and I is just chilling in a coffee shop and we're pretty much talking about summer. And suddenly Clara changed the subject to summer love. Summer love is temporary love. Being in love only during summer and at the end of summer you can't contact your partner or anything. It's actually quite interesting but it's gonna be sad after summer. Clara dared Lea, Kate and me to have summer love. Challenge accepted.

       Before I forgot, yes, I am contacting with Damien of course. It's already 8:00 at night, I am wearing my yellow pyjamas and my turquoise monkey slippers. I lay on my bed and text with Damien. He is very kind. Tomorrow is summer and I have to ask him out. But then suddenly, he asked me if we could try summer love. I screamed and said yes. It's like a miracle. As if he can read minds. He knows I am craving for cotton candy frappuccino. He knows about summer love. What if he can read minds?

       Today is summer and its the first day of our love. He texted me a sweet good morning message. I woke up and get ready to go have breakfast with him and then we can go to the library. He was wearing a turquoise baseball shirt with a grey skinny jeans. We went to Square One and then went to the library. It was really awkward with him but oh well I'll get used to this. Will I truly love him? Or this is just for the stupid dare?

Seeking For Love Under The Sun: Am I a Girl Now?

                CHAPTER 2: Am I a Girl Now?  


  'Ding dong!' The bell rang. I hopped out of my bed and ran downstairs to answer the door. The 'amazon' van is right in front of my house and a guy was holding a packaging was at my door. I took the packaging and signed the papers. So the guy went back to his van and I ran to my bedroom and locked the door. I ripped the packaging, since I was very excited, and luckily, I got the right book. I have to admit that I bought some books about girls and some other girly things.

    Again. The bell rang. I ran towards the stairs and my cat, Pepper, also ran to the door. Oh. I just realised its probably Aunt Lily because my cat, okay this might sound weird but, Pepper, can smell Aunt Lily. And Pepper hates me. So I ran downstairs and it is Aunt Lily, she was wearing a baby blue silk dress with a very nice white hat. She kissed Pepper for several times and I can see Pepper's happy face following Aunt Lily stepping into our house. Aunt Lily hugged me and kissed me. My mom came from behind and hugged Aunt Lily. Its been 2 months since Aunt Lily's last visit. She came all the way from London to California.
   
     So I served some tea and cakes for my mom and Aunt Lily. Also myself. We talked and talked about Aunt Lily's new clothing line. She is a fashion designer and she always give me dresses and sweaters. She always give me advice about girls and she is very concerned about me being a tomboy and I guess it's gonna be a shock if I tell her that I'm changing.  She will probably get too excited and dress me up and stuff. Wow. I better get mentally ready.

    I helped her unpack some stuff in the guest room. And I am very nervous to tell her that I'm changing. But oh well, I did. Her face was priceless. She was so shocked, she cried, but then she started unpacking some dresses while giving me some advice on being a girl. Oh, Aunt Lily. We had a long talk about it and I also tell her about the stupid dramatic fight.

  I am so excited to go to school tomorrow and see so many shocked faces at the school hall because I am turning to a 'real' girl and not a tomboy. I was so excited, I prepared an outfit for tomorrow which is a turquoise sweater and a pair of white jean shorts. I am pairing it up with a pair of pink converse shoes.

  Today is the day. It was drizzling and very cold. Luckily, I prepared a sweater to go to school. I waited for the bus outside eventhough it was raining but I was so excited so why not. The bus arrived after 5 minutes of waiting and I sat beside Lea and she was shocked to see me wearing a girlish outfit. She screamed and the whole bus looked at us, which some of them saw me and screamed too. What a chaos Tuesday morning.

  I walked at the school hall and people is literally staring at me with their jaw dropped. It was so awkward so we went to the cafeteria and joined Kate who is drinking the free morning hot chocolate, alone. Kate almost choked on her hot chocolate when she saw me. She asked me so many questions and I answered it with only three words. I don't know. But oh, how I hope the stupid drama will end today.

   After a few seconds, Clara walked into the cafeteria and she decided to turn around when she saw me but she stopped and ran to me. She was screaming and hugging me. She said she was sorry and she was so proud of me for changing. I told you she will love it. And then we talked and talked at the cafeteria and the school bell rang, which means we have to go to our classes.

Seeking For Love Under The Sun: Chasing Dreams

                      CHAPTER 1: Chasing Dreams....


       Funny and sometimes weird because people keep judging me all the time because I am a major tomboy. I never wore make up and I love to wear guy's clothes. Okay, I'm not really a tomboy. I can be girlish at times and I have girls as friends and sometimes I follow what they do. But not all of the time, sometimes I'm just not in the mood to be girlish. Sometimes I can act like a real guy. Sometimes, I can be grumpy and cranky, so beware.

     The end of spring wind started to blew and I have to get ready for school. Worst and the lamest thing ever. I wore my blue jeans, my red long sleeve t-shirt and my blue converse shoes. I combed my hair and get some breakfast and off to school. I've been schooling here for like 5 years and its kinda great but at the same time kinda messed up. Oh yeah, its Frampton Wills High School. Here are the gangs in it, the gay and lesbians, Lamar, Karen, Jones, and Nana. The blonde brats, Michelle, Quinn, Ramona. And my gang, the normals, Clara, Lea, Kate and Laura (me).

     Ok so here's a little intro about my friends. Clara is the gossip girl, drama queen, sassy, and the girlish. She is sometimes a brat and so annoying but oh well. Lea is the innocent, kind, nerd and everybody loves her. Me too. Kate is the funny one and the adorable kid in our gang. And me, the boyish one. Basically, they will convince me to become a real girl since 3 years ago..but I didn't. Yeah, we have been friends for like 4 years.

     Clara and Lea asked me to wait at the cafeteria and get the free morning hot chocolates while we wait for Kate to arrive. And we basically talked about boys which sometimes annoys me. Lea is always talking about her new boyfriend, Sebastian, and we just have to hear every single thing because later on she will ask us. Clara, talks about her crush, Alex, which is kinda nice and romantic. They're cute together, to be honest! After the girly chit-chat session (Kate arrived but we still talk, but not me, they just can't stop talking, I swear.) we have to go to English class and then Mathematics.

     During English class, we have to do a project, which, we have to partner up and pick a random country and tell the whole class about it. The most creative presentation will be the winner and as the prize, they will get to pick where they sit in the class for the whole semester. Which is very meaningful for me since I am sitting beside a guy who is really disgusting and I don't wanna put his name here. But, the teacher will pick our partner, so I hope I get one of my gangs. But...

    Guess who? My partner is...Alex. Its...Alex. Clara is gonna explode if she knows but I have to tell her because she will be asking. And I did tell her and my guess is right. She exploded, guys. EXPLODED. She was so so so jealous. And I said that its not my choice, its the teacher's. But she ignored. During Mathematics, she ignored too. I just don't get this girl. Ugh.

     I can't believe it but, 3 days, and we still are not talking. She is being so dramatic. And when this finishes, I bet she's gonna realise that she is stupid for ignoring me. I hope. But, I really want it to end now. Because you know, I hate dramas, and I don't want to be in it. So, let's think of what she wants me to be or what she will love to see me as...so that we could stop fighting. Hmmm..........aha! She really want me to be like a real girl and not a tomboy. So should I change, just for her? Just for this stupid drama to end? Or...maybe I will regret it?

   
-To be continued.....

The wings who was left alone.

       Most of the time in my life is spent on nature, in the mornings and keeping a dark secret, at night. You might think I am a werewolf or something but no, this is not Twilight. I am just a normal person though. I wake up, go to the forest to find some berries, and cook. Yeah, I am a loner. Sigh. And yes, I prefer to be alone all of the time and I hate public. That is kinda usual for a....special creature...like me?

       Oh yeah, before I forgot, like the normal story introductions, my name is Gwen Sky. I am 18 years old. I live in the woods in a small cottage and I go to the woods almost every day. Sometimes, I really want to tell my secrets to someone. You might think its just stupid to tell it to someone. But it's kinda inevitable because you know sometimes we just have to share our feelings to someone. Our secrets too. That's why best friends are created right?

       One day, I need to go to the market because I'm out of food. So I did, I put on my cloak and just walk to the nearest market. Arrived at the market, the villagers started to look at me and most of them, judged me. Ughh. Ok, here's why. The villagers knew me from my parents. My parents also have a dark secret and they accidentally killed a villager. When I was 16, my parents brought me to live in the woods alone.

      So I just act like the villagers are invisible although they were throwing apples and tomatoes to me. Free food I guess. But then, there's this one boy just sit there and look at me and just pity me. Questions started to haunt me....Why isn't he following other kids throwing foods at me? Is he keeping a secret too? What is his secret? Is it same as mine? He can grow wings at night too? While I was daydreaming, 'BAM!' an apple in my face.

      I ran to my cottage after that and went to the woods to find some firewood to cook. Suddenly, I found a boy, I think I recognise him, is it the...oh. It is the boy from the market. I sat next to him. His name is Josh. I asked him all of those questions in my head. Shockingly, he answered all of it very calmly. Its probably destiny that brought us here with the same problems. Suddenly, we both grew wings and we flew together.

     But.......I wonder why is he at the market without anyone noticing? He said he have a power where he can be invisible. Cool huh? So, I let him stay with me and no one noticed, of course. My life have been better and better since. It was an unbelievable experience to meet someone who have identical powers as me. Of course, we fell in love after that. I hope this is a better love story than Twilight.

Psst! : To the Twilight lovers, I'm sorry.

Jaguhbi is crying?

Hi and Assalammualaikum guys! It's been a while since my last post. I am terribly sorry! I've been busy with the Hari Raya preparations and also some school projects. I am also running out of idea! It's been a stressful week. I hope you guys can forgive me :( In Shaa Allah, I'll post a short story as soon as possible. I can't really think of a short story right now, so here's an extremely short story by me...

  "A cat walked by the flower shop and meowed very loudly. The florist came out from the shop and the cat ran to the bakery. The cat meowed again at the bakery, loudly, and the baker came out. But then, the cat ran to the cafe. The cat meowed again and again until the waitress comes out from the cafe. As expected the cat ran again. It turns out, the cat was searching for its owner."

Thank you very much for all the follows and comments! (and also for wasting your time on that stupid story aha) Bye!!

By: Alisya
Psst!: Please forgive me or... Jaguhbi will cry all day!

A thousands of excuses.

      Roses started to bloom, grasses started to grew, the new spring breeze was felt from the 23rd floor of Royal Blossom apartment. It's the 3rd May. Tomorrow is a child's birthday. Rosie Williams woke up early in the morning and had a cup of coffee with some toast. After showering, she wore a blue blouse matched with a long emerald green skirt. She finished her coffee and toast and went out to the streets. Shopping mall is the place she is aiming to go for now. She went to the toys section and wander around searching for a perfect toy for her niece. While searching, Rosie saw a girl with pigtails, who is wearing a bright red dress and pink shoes. The cute little girl, sat in a corner, crying. She was crying, crying and crying.

      Overwhelmed with the girl's tears, Rosie ran to the girl and persuaded her. She told Rosie she lost her father just now while she was searching for a toy. Her name is Katie Greasely and her father's name is Henry Greasely. She also told Rosie her father's contact number. Rosie took her to pick a toy so Rosie can buy it for her, before calling her father. So Katie picked a toy, and they go to the operating counter nearby. While waiting in line, suddenly, a 40 year old man was standing right in front of them, with his angry face, staring at Rosie.

      "Daddy! Daddy!" cried Katie. Of course that was her dad Henry Greasely who is assuming his child was kidnapped by a 38 year old Rosie Williams. Henry grabbed Katie's arm and shouted at Rosie "Don't you dare touch my little princess!" Katie almost cried, not knowing how to explain it to her fierce father. So they walk away. Since everyone in the line, or maybe in the whole mall saw Rosie, she bowed with shame. After buying her niece a toy, she ran to her apartment with tears running all over her cheeks. It was a very sad, embarrassing, and also an unforgettable moment.

      3 days have passed, 72 hours have flew away, but Rosie was still thinking of explaining it to Henry Greasely. Rosie is scared if Henry just can't accept the fact that she didn't kidnapped Katie. Rosie is scared if Henry just doesn't want to accept her apology. Rosie emboldened herself to explain about the incident 3 days ago. She called Henry and luckily Henry agreed to meet her up in a cafe. Thank god.

    Nervous is obviously the right word to describe Rosie's feeling now. She waited in a cafe, wearing her pink coat and her black ankle boots. Finally, a guy she's been waiting for shows up, with a sulky face. Rosie tell him what really happened and they discussed. But it's really hard to make Henry believe it until it makes him call Katie at home and ask if it's true. Luckily, Katie answered it right. Rosie is probably the happiest woman in the cafe. So they started knowing each other and and talked for hours in the cafe. Then something unexpected happened. They're madly in love.

    "You may kiss your bride." Okay, obviously that sentence was pronounced about 2 years ago. They're married, but they aren't really living a happy life. That is because, Henry Greasely is a soldier which makes him as a 'weekend husband' because he have to stay in the military camp. He have to make a thousands of excuse to make it out of the camp for a day just so that he can meet his true love and his little princess. Rosie advised him to quit the army so that they can see each other everyday. Why? "It's a boy!" Yes. That's why. They were gifted a baby boy. A prince.

Wild Regret.

           Houses were on fire. Trees started to fall. The chaos of my village has begun. Just kidding. It's normal. It's just a bunch of villagers testing their superpowers and doing some chores. Yes. I lived in Bosconovitch Village. Everyone basically owns a very impressive superpower except me. I'm an ordinary child in this village. I have no superpowers or even a smart brain. I'm basically the useless and the stupid boy in the village. My mom always said that I have to find the superpower in me. But all of the villagers said that I'm just useless.

         My name is Wildbie. Wildbie Welchmary. I have two younger sisters. Wenda and Wendy Welchmary. They can fly and they're super fast. Cathrine Welchmary is my mom. She can sing a song that will make all the villagers sleep. The villagers called it sleep powder. I live in a cottage near the Death Falls. The Death Falls is a waterfall that no one ever tried to even touch it. If you touch it you'll die. Literally. So, don't even think of touching it.

        One day, my mom and I went to the library and found something really interesting. It is a book call 'Legend of Power Genie'. It tells you how to immediately get your superpowers. I was so excited to look at the directions but my mom advised me not to even look at it. She said it's dangerous. But she didn't tell me why. I was so mad, I slammed the book on the shelf and leave my mom feeling confused and at the same time feeling sad. I didn't talk to my mom for 3 weeks. I really wanted to try the directions in the book. But I have to pay for the consequence myself.

     So, off I go to the library. I searched and searched for that book and found it. I read the directions and I stood there. Terrified. No wonder mom was so scared. I regret being mad at mom. I regret not talking to her for 3 weeks. She is sad. I am really a bad son. That evening, Wenda and Wendy were showing off their flying skills to me. They said I'm such a loser for not having superpowers. For the first time, I was jealous. I ran to my bedroom and cried. I planned to go to the library and borrow that book tomorrow morning. So that fine morning, with the new spring breeze, I went to the library, borrow that book and sit on my favourite rock near the Death Falls, and read it.

Here's basically what I read:

• Go to the Death Falls
• Dive in and search for a magical glass
• Take the glass to the river bank and pour some water from the Death Falls into the magical glass
• Drink it and your power will be revealed right away

Note: Only do this when you're ready. Never ever try to do it right away after reading this. You have to be ready, then only the Death Falls will let you dive.

     Right after reading it, I stand at the river bank, in the position to dive. When I try to jump in, I was pushed to the ground and there's a loud splash. I fainted. When I woke up, my sisters told me something really sad. My mom pushed me to the ground and fell in the Death Falls...and......died. She saved my life. She sacrificed herself for me. But what did I do to her? Nothing. I regret. I regret for not listening to her. I regret for being impatient on getting my superpower. I...regret.

Hurt.

You know what does really hurts? When no one understands you. It hurts no matter what you used to make it better. It hurts the way people look at you in a different way. You know what else hurts? When someone underestimated you. It hurts the way someone you don't even know underestimated you. It hurts when no one knows your true ability. You know what hurts even more? When no one even cared about you. It hurts that when you're hurt so bad, no one even knows. Guess what? It hurts when you know the ugly truth of something. It hurts so bad you don't even know what to do! It also hurts when someone you trusted, lied to you. It hurts the way they don't know how much you trusted on them. There's more. It hurts when no one understand your wants. It hurts when you feel like you don't belong somewhere. It hurts when people ignored you. It hurts when someone cheated on you. It hurts when you fall and no one was waiting to catch you down there. It hurts when no one wants to be with you. It hurts when you lost your friends. It hurts when you lost everything. And what is the cure? The cure for all of these. What is it? It is to be with someone who understands you, cared about you, trusted you, loved you, wanted to be with you, catch you when you fell, doesn't ignores you and knows your ability. Who is it? Mother. They understands you in every single way. They know what you feel. They understand your wants. They know it when you're sad. They know how to cheer you up. They basically know everything about you. So always remember to  love your mother. They've done so much that you can't even count. Or maybe you don't even know!


Psst! : Al-fatihah for them who lost their mother :(

The crying vampire.

       I live on Broadway Street. My house is right beside the graveyard and the abandoned house. Scary huh? Nope. It's nothing for me. But today, at midnight, its Halloween. Its the 1st time I celebrated Halloween since I moved, which some people said something's going to haunt me. According to the last owner of my house, their son was haunted by a vampire. I guess it's just a joke because I don't believe in ghosts..or vampires. I mean like, really? Haunted by a vampire? I've never heard of it. I invited my friends to go to the abandoned house to see if ghosts are real. I'm very confident to enter the house. Unfortunately, my friends won't enter.

         I entered the house alone. All by myself. For your information, its 8:00 p.m. So, its kinda dark already. The door creaked open. Darkness starts to haunt me. Luckily, I brought a torchlight with me. The hallway was really dusty and there's a mouse on a table. Bats? You don't have to know. Too many! But then, my goosebumps are getting goosebumps! Why? I heard another footsteps and a crying boy. "Henry! Henry!" Wait, what? They even know my name! Or.....BOOM! Mother's face was right in front of my face, waking me up. "Halloween party is just about to start, honey." Oh. I forgot. I was taking a nap just now. Its already 9:00 p.m. But will the dream come true? I'm confused.

       My living room is full of people. I guess the Halloween party is not about to start, but, it has started. I can see my friends from the stairs. Partying. Having fun. But what about me? Worrying about this midnight. "How was your nap, young man?" I almost fall from the stairs. Luckily, I am holding the stairs' rail. It was my dad. "Fine." I answered nervously. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm nervous, anxious, tired and scared. I questioned myself why am I believing ghosts. I guess they're real after all. Probably. Maybe.

       I joined my friends so that I can hide all of the worries in my mind. We talked and laughed. I almost forgot about this midnight! Guess what? It's already 11:30 p.m.! Everyone started to leave my house because it's already late. Then, there's only my parents and me. I rushed to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and wear my pyjamas. My bed looks very comfortable. So, right now, I am lying on my bed reading my favourite book 'Hardy Boys'. My palms are clammy. My forehead started to sweat. Cringg!! It's 12:00 a.m. I waited. Anxiously. I waited for the ghosts or vampire or whatever. 30 minutes passed.  I fell asleep. As if there's nothing gonna happen. "Uwahh! Uwahh!" I woke up because I heard a noise of a boy crying.

       I covered my face with my blanket. But then, the crying boy stopped crying. So I looked in my room. There's a boy. Looking at me. He walked nearer and nearer. Now, he is beside my bed. Still looking at me. My tears started to fall. Scary. His eyes is all black. He is wearing a pyjamas, with skulls pattern. Same....like me. I feel like screaming but my mouth is shut. PLOP! He disappeared. Where did he go? I don't know. So, I lean to the other side. There he is. We are on the same bed! I ran to my parents' bedroom's door and knock it like crazy. He was chasing me. KNOCK! KNOCK! No one answered. He whispered to me. "Your parents are dead. In this house, there's only you and me. Later, there's only going to be me." I was shocked and panicked. I don't know what to do!

      "Henry! Henry!" Oh..finally I can wake up! But, it's not a dream. Oh my god. The boy disappeared. Again. Guess who's calling me? My mom. Finally opened the door. And asked what happened. I answered. "Something haunt me!" I asked her if we can move tommorow to somewhere else. "Yes we can, honey. But not tomorrow. Maybe in 3 days?" I have nothing left to say. I can't even think. There's also no choice. What can I do more? Nothing. So, I agreed. I guess it's true after all. About the ghost story and the haunt. In fact, I am one of the victim! My first lesson? Now, I believe in ghosts. They're real.

Psst! : I was also having goosebumps writing this. LOL.
