The Night Sky

Gaze the stars, gaze it with me

The Night Sky

I walk towards the garden beside my house. I smell the flowers around me especially the lavender. I sat thereafter at the wooden chair and put my phone on the table. I looked around and luckily, I am alone.

"Finally... alone." I whispered.

Without further inspections to my surroundings, I started looking at the night sky.

"This is my every night happiness." I, again, whispered.

The calming surrounding and the starry night is an epitome of satisfaction. I stand up and lie down to the grass of the garden. Closing my eyes after finding the stars alignment of Gemini.

After a while, I heard a footsteps. She's here.

"What are you doing there, lying in the grass? Mr. Sid?" She asked in a sarcastic manner. I knew it, it's Athena. My girlfriend.

I smiled, particularly because she found me.

"Gazing the stars? I guess?" I jokingly replied.

"But your eyes are closed?" She asked. I feel her presence, watching me while she's in the table.

"Of course, the night sky is calming, it makes me fall asleep." I defended.

"Yeah, it makes sense. Even I feel the same way." She calmly said, agreeing to what I've said.

"It's like almost a year of us talking to each other, laughing and arguing--" She extended but I interfere and said, "With the smallest things and yet the night sky is our way of calming."

"Indeed it is. I love you." A gentle reminder of her.

"I love you too." I replied.

I opened my eyes and look upon the shining stars.

"If you were a star, I swear, I would definitely gaze at you every night." I sweetly said and looked at the table.

I stand up and smiled, "I guess I always love you--"

I opened the gate for a walk, after some times, I saw her... along with her boyfriend.

"I always do."

Our eyes met, she's very happy.

"Hi Sid, good evening!" She greeted.

I replied with a smile.

"I wish... you were mine."

"It was all a hallucinations."

"I hate this reality."

"But I know somewhere... somewhere in another dimension, you are mine."

Ace of Hearts or Ace my Heart?

In a world full of chaos, I'll be your protector.

"Oh God, I'm late!" I said while being in a hurry, holding a lot of books and carrying a bag.

As expected, I bumped with someone but not like your normal movies in which the main characters met. Here, I bumped with a bully. Geez.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm in a hurry!" I said in a calm state while collecting the books that fell after the bump.

"Next time watch your step." He said, staring at me like a creep.

"Yes, I'm really sorry." I apologized and proceed to walk forward.

As I entered the university, I instantly searched for my room. Since this is my first day and a freshman here, I do not know where it is so I asked the guard over the gate and luckily, he knows.

"Thank you!" I happily said.

After a while, I am now walking in the hallway. With that, I noticed a handsome man approaching my room. I lowered my head not until I realized, I'm already at the door. I saw a shoes and I looked up. It's him, he's tall and his eyes are attractive... but he's not smiling. Yeah, I'm actually scared right now so I looked at the doorknob and opened it.

*crowd noise*

I feel his presence behind me and I searched for a seat. As I walk, the noise of the crowd became silent. There goes my anxiousness. I looked at them and I was relieved when I saw them not looking at me. I put down my bag and surprisingly, he was beside me. I looked at him again.

"What?" He asked in a dull manner while he's holding his bag.

"N-Nothing." I replied with nervousness and sat in the chair.

In a while, the professor arrived.

"Good morning everyone, before we start, I would like everyone to introduce yourselves." The professor said in a cheerful tone.

Everyone started introducing themselves. Until…

"Hi, I am Ezekiel San Diego, 20 years old. It's so nice to meet you all." He said in a joyful manner. Most of the women in our class shouted. Of course, even I would literally shout but I won't because I'm a lonely person.

The professor looked at me and said, "Next."

"Good day, I am Daniel Escobar, 19 years old. H-how are you all?" I greeted and smiled.

"We're doing fine, thank you for that, Mr. Escobar." The professor said in a happy manner.

The lecture started and after a while, I didn't realize that the classes ended already. I packed up my things and before leaving the gymnasium (as Physical Education is the last subject we're taking), I searched for Ezekiel and found him packing his things. After looking at him, he's also looking around and our eyes met. There, I startled.

I leave the gymnasium and start walking to leave this university. As I leave, I heard Ezekiel.

"You are not good at acting, Daniel." Ezekiel said while breathing heavily. It seems like he was running.

"T-this is the first time I entered college." I replied but then he extended, "So am I."

"Why can't we just show them that we're a lover?" He asked.

"...and then what? They'll look at you as if you're a trash?" I defended. "You know I'm a loner, I'm afraid to show them. I even become anxious earlier when the crowd stops." I extended.

He stepped forward to me.

"Whatever they say, it's a matter of gambling. If you were to pick a card what would you choose?" He said and asked in a way that he's reasoning and worried.

Why ask some questions like that?

"I'll choose ace of hearts." I said.

"Why do you think ace of hearts can be a great contributor of your gamble?" He asked.

"Because for me it's the highest probability every time I pick a card." I said in a confused tone.

"Exactly! You've chosen ace of hearts out of all the cards that has higher probability!" He explained.

"Listen, I'm always here beside you. I'm your knight and I will protect you." He said while smiling. Those eyes… it's attractive.

"I'll wait till you have the confidence to show yourself." He extended.

I smiled. I hugged him.

"Besides, why choose ace of hearts? When you can ace my heart?" He said in a joking manner.

"Stop it! I-I'm blushing." I said.
