Chapter I BLOCK A- ALPHA
HER SACRIFICE
If there are three things I learned from what happen, first, that is the fact that love won't obey our expectations for its mystery is pure and absolute. Second, love is crucial and take a lot of sacrifices as people said that great love comes with great responsibility. And third, there's nothing much stronger than a heart of a volunteer. I don't want to sleep. I just want to tackle the wood and be swarmed by the mist within. Likewise, I don't want to be found. If he is nowhere away from me then I'm willing to be lost and embraced that solitude of his heart. I don't want to be hailed. Hailing my name without him makes me play the obligation all along. He's my escape, my oasis from the depth of shallow darkness, my supposed to be enemy, but my love, I miss you.
"Will you love me from the rest of my life?" She asked.
"No, because I will love you from the rest of mine. Goodbye."
CHAPTER I: BLOCK A- ALPHA
Early in the morning, as the sun was shining above through the damp street, the busy cars were passed all the way around, the radio was on and LANY's song Thick and Thin is being heard around the house and hum by Bridgette as she waits her mom whose inspecting her physically.
Long wavy hair, rosy cheeks, a big blue eyes and a kissable thin lips. Her mom then, shift her gaze below examining what she was wearing. A Denim skinny jeans, a black sweater on top partnered with her white converse.
"Mom~" She was about to complain when her mom outspoke her.
"The beautiful smile Brige. Come on, it's you first day of school!"
"In fourth college year~"
"Still your first day." Her mom shut her the second time. "Come on, show me that beautiful bright smile."
Sighing, she slowly fake a smile to satisfied her mother's expectance about her every 'first day'. However, instead of giving her a cheerful thumbs up of trying so hard, her mother grimace in annoyance and so she just drop the pretention.
"Mom, my smile has nothing to do with my every first day, so let me just be myself this last 'first day' of mine, alright?" She said and chucked before grabing her fresh red apple from the kitchen counter.
"I know. I know. I just, miss my little girl during her every first day. Smiling like crazy, and excited to meet new friends. I can't believe it's your last first day of school now." Her mom said teary eyed.
"Mom, I will always be your little girl. It's just this time, I know now when to smile." She said smiling cutely in front of her mom which make her mom laugh.
She wholeheartedly bite her red apple and gaze to the digit the clock was pointing at. "I gotta go now mom, I'm sure you don't want me to be late on my first day."
"Yes, ofcourse. Thank care okay? And call me if you need something."
She hugged her mom, kiss her cheek and pick up her bag before leaving, shutting the door behind her. She hop inside the car her mom gave during her 18th birthday and although she doesn't know where does she got the money for buying such a brand new car, she happily accepted it.
As she tackling the pavement of Winterbelle down to the central town where the school is located, she found herself being so excited as she perceived that this kind of phase is what she anticipated upon going back to school. Aside from she could be united with her bestfriends again, the early tuning of LANY's song in her car while driving is one of her favorite part of the day.
She park her car outside of school, get her bag and went out only to realized that there are a load of students entering the school gate which is unusual. Winterbelle is just a small town and most of the students prefer to study on Burgeon University than here in Winterbelle Community Colleges. She waited until the path is no longer crowded and walk herself, examining her given schedule she doesn't pay attention before.
The school is no modern. The buildings are old fashion and just renovated from time to time. From the gate, is a short path way to the main building of five consecutive floors with five room each.
The ground floor is for proffesors, the guidance and the Dean. Way to the upper floors is a wide staircase from the end to end of the corridor. The second floor is for Humanities, the third is for Medicines, the fourth is for Businesses and the last floor is for Literature. From the main building is a side by side chamber. Every chamber has six floor with only one wide room. The right chamber consist of the Library occupying the first and second floor, the study area, the art room, the music room and the Media arts publication room. The left chamber consist of the clinic, the laboratory, office of the student councils, a study area, computer room and stock room. Behind the main building and the chambers is a wide auditorium for school activities such as Acquaintance, Exhibit and Intramurals, the cafeteria, a wide soccer field and a garden in which her group prefer to stay during vacant time since freshmen year.
"Okay, so I guess I have to explain my night class to mom." She utter as she saw her last subject at 6pm which means she could be home at 7 to 8pm. As she was thinking in which stair she would use, a voice suddenly called her.
"Hey! Brige! wait!" She immediately turn around and saw Nathan, her childhood friend whose pursuing College of Law.
"Hey, how have you been?" She asked.
"I'm good. Just a little nervous you know? I can't believe we are now in the last college year that sudden! It's like, I'm stuck to our childhood where you're always chase by a peacock in Aunt Gomery's field~"
"Hey! Stop mentioning it!" She said annoyed.
"Why not? It's my most treasured memory with you and I'm willing to bring it up every year!" He said and she just rolled her eyes.
They talk about random things and gradually separate their way, Nathan on the second floor while her on the third.
"So, our given section is, Block A- Alpha." she uttered loudly and scan the banner in every door until she found it in the last room near the staircase on the right side opposite from the stair she use. Well, At least she know now which stair is she going to take the next time, she said to herself.
Just as she was walking, her phone vibrate and she pulled it out from her pocket to check. It was a text message from her bestfriend Laide, saying she's already in the room waiting for her. She grin as she felt how much she missed her. They never had time to spend during vacation since Adelaide spent her rest of months in Granola Manchada with her family and they only communicate thru calls and text.
Forcefuly, she was about to open the door when it happen that someone open it from the inside, and then a broad, tall, and masculine figure in a black shirt just stop her from entering and so she's was glad she didn't hit it for she's sure that it might be her who slamp on the floor. She gaze above and nearly stop from breathing not just because the broad body was belong to a fine-looking man whose seriously looking at her but because his eyes ressembled a black hole, swallowing her soul in the depth of nowhere. It's jawline is perfectly sealed and his lips are undeniably, convincing. The tan skin fits perfectly and over all, she couldn't decline the fact that this man in front of her is one of a kind. Out of a sudden, the man cleared his throat.
"You're hindering my way." He said coldly.
She snap herself back to the reality and fixed her posture feeling a little bit of embarrassment.
"S-sorry." She move on the side to let the man move freely and just look down waiting patiently fo him to go but then, thirty seconds past and he doesn't even create a single step. Doubting, she take a look to the man who is still staring at her.
"I-is, is there still any problem?" She asked stuttering.
"Yes, a sudden problem I could say." The man step forward towards her causing her to gulp and step herself backward preventing her to say a word. The man look at her eyes.
"Stay, away. do you understand? I hate your presence." He said looking at her up and down before walking out, leaving her out of breath.
"I already said sorry." She whispers to herself. Right off, her frustration rise up due to the inconvenient words she just received thinking, was she showed too much admiration for him to think too high of himself? She entered the room and there she saw her classmates greeting her and so she smile, trying to hide the embarrassment she just felt.
"Brige!" She look toward the person who called her but nearly fell down due to the force the person gave just to hug her.
"Laide! How are you?"she asked.
"I miss you so much!" She walked to the empty chair near the window, place her bag as her bestfriend still clung on her.
"Oh come on Laide, give Brige a break." A manly voice said which she found out to be Ericson.
"Looks like brige has a tone of household chores. She looks skinny than usual." Another man said which is her other best friend, Tomas.
Laide get off from her inspect
her up and down.
"He's right. You loss weight Brige. What have you done during vacation?" Laide asked worriedly and she gave them a satisfying smile.
"Come on guys, it's still me! I just sometimes forgot to eat, you know, busy trying to help mom save animals and whatever. " Brige explained.
"Oh well, I heard your mom is a great fur mom Brige." Ericson said.
"Oh trust me guys, her mom is sooo amazing." Laide answered.
Her chair is on the left side beside the window, on her right is Laide while the boys are behind them in the last row. A minute later, their professor appeared, introduce herself to everyone, and started the discussion which she was enjoying because she can relate too much. Thanks to her mom. She was busy taking notes and putting highlighters and abruptly, the man earlier popped up to her mind and so she again asked herself Why does he hates me that sudden for atleast a minute. At the end, she wiggle her head trying to erase all the negative vibes in her body and just put a satisfying words in her mind. If he hate her existence, then hate it. She doesn't know him anyway, she said to herself right before the bell rang, ending their first subject.
