THIS TIME

This time, things have made sense in my life. A new one, more clearer and with me being in simple routine.Go to school, live the rest of my remaining teen years and have hopes and dreams, and of course, prevent my mind from travelling back to a time, where my mind was in lockdown. Where life just passed me by and the world felt heavy on my shoulders, the moment I had no grasp on anything, but just let things come to me, at once.Now here I am, staring myself in the mirror, actually liking what I see, someone who takes it easy and actually receiving each day as it comes.I've grown up since two years ago, I'm more careful about a few things, thinking things over and giving myself a chance to live for me, though it's hard sometimes because I tend to grow  soft,  when it comes to my loved ones or anyone who seems sincere enough, I guess it's in my nature.That's part of the reason,

I've never been good with confrontations and explainations, when either feeling cornered or suffocated.Now imagine how I feel at the exact moment, that my mom rushes into the nurses room and comes face to face with Reece, in sight of MK and the school nurse.My mom has never been one for pretending, she's just a bad actress. So that's why the whole time she was in the room, she focused on the nurse, listening intently on what she was saying. Though nothing serious was being shared besides that I didn't eat, that I was feeling dehydrated due to the heat.I'd thought it wouldn't be enough for me to be sent home, but thank heavens, for once to my bleeding nose. Let's just say I'm not great with the sun, just like coming face to face with my past." I'll come by later, just be alright." Mk says, trailing off, not wanting my mom to see her softer side."Yeah...thanks for everything." I tell he

" Uh I what I meant to say is, we met yesterday. " He quickly says. " Oh?" Colton says. " Yeah, I wasn't feeling quite well so he helped me out." I add, feeling quite relieved. " Well are you okay now?" Colton asks concerned. " Yes, yes I am." Remembering that Mk is behind me, I semi turn to her." Oh Reece meet my friend Mikayla, but we call her Mk." I say, pulling her to my side and into view. " Hi." Reece says, holding out his hand to her. Looking at her, I see a hint of pink on her cheeks as she takes his hand. Ooh Lucia is going to love this.

Silence has been our companion thus far, a few glances here and there and just too many thoughts racing in mind, questions mostly, from my side.We've walked quite a distance and are now seated on the hood of his car.I really dont understand why he had to park so far. Maybe he was trying to avoid my mom, that would make sense.So are you going to tell me what this is about?" I ask, finally turning to look at him." I meant what I said earlier." He murmurs, head lowered." Are you talking about at school?" I ask.He nods." Reece - ""Look I never forgot about you or about her." He whispers the last part."Let's not go there please...." I plead quietly, not wanting to open a door I've worked too hard on closing." Do you ever think about -"" Reece" I warn, getting off the hood, inten

I'm a working girl now, I finally got the job at May's Eat. This place is one of the popular hang out spots for the youth, more so local diners in BolardSweet Valley. This town is a small and sleepy town yet is still able to maintain, its natural beauty with the attractive site of the swimming hole in the local main river, that most teens hang out.There are quite a number of hang out spots and diners, but at where I now work, it's popular with its touch of soulfood, rustic interior and good custormer service. In this town, it seems to awaken or be alight during the weekends. Bands come out to play,  parties are hosted, the youth takes reign of the town.I know that choosing this place to work part time, wasn't really my first choice because of its popularity to my schoolmates. I had enough with seeing them at school but now, I would have to face them again and this time, I had no choice but to serve and attend to them, no matter who
