《Golden Serenity》6

Friday ngayon which means ngayon yung Freshmen Night, sinundo ulit nila ako at daladala ko yung damit ko naka hanger and shoes, at linagay sa likod. Nakita ko doon ang damit ni Ree, na lace top na black. Ang kambal kay Keron, isang Hawaiian shirt sleeve. Kay Zero naman ay long sleeves na blue. Magpapalit kami mamaya kina Celeste sabay sabay na kaming pupunta.
Ngayon rin namin makikilala yung prof namin sa drawing naming kaya dala rin naming yung mga gamit namin. Pag dating sa school makikita mong halos busy lahat ng tao na nasa main, meron vans para sa light and sound system. Dumiretso na kami sa AH dahil ayaw namin ma late.
Calculus ang unang subject kapag Friday, kaya medyo kinakabahan ako. Sana magaling and mabait yung prof namin. Saktong 7 dumating na si prof, babae ang prof namin mukhang medyo strict ata, pero tignan natin.
Umupo kami sa bandang likuran, hindi nag pa introduce yourself si ma'am dahil makikilala niya daw kami kapag nag rerecite na kami. Instead, nag roll call. 1 and half hour tong subject na'to at feeling ko dun sa 1 and half hour na yun hindi ako huminga.
Pumasok na kami dun sa minor subject namin dito, wala narin introduction dahil nagkita na kami nung Wednesday. Na interrupt yung klase namin dahil pumasok yung sa org namin dahil election of officers para daw sa representative ng CE sa first year.
Agad akong nakita ng President ng Org namin kaya ngumiti at kumaway siya, napatingin tuloy sila saakin. So nag pakilala sila and nag explain lang kung anong kahalagan etc., nung mag uumpisa na for the president walang nag taas ng kamay agad.
Nag taas ng kamay yung kaklase kong lalaki. "I nominate Aurelie po." Napatingin tuloy ako sa kanya ng shocked. Napangiti naman si Kuya President.
"Any nomination?" wala ng nag salita sa kanila, nawala na agad ako sa mood.
"Okay mukhang wala na, so let's call Ms. Aurelie to give her speech." Speech?! Gosh, I'm not in the mood. But I have no choice, tumayo nako and nag punta sa harapan.
"Thank you for nominating me, although I was not expecting this because I was never friendly to anyone." Dire-diretso kong pagsasalita, natawa naman yung ibang officers sa sinabi ko. "However, I will try to do the duties. That's all thank you." Pumalakpak naman sila and tinuloy na yung iba pang nomination, wala akong nagawa dahil kailangan kong mag stay dito.
Celeste was the vice, and some of my classmates were the others. The secretary of the Org, ate Sofia asked my name and contact number for meeting purposes daw. Kuya Peter the president welcomed me with a weird smile.
"Chance would freak out if he knows you're a part of the officers, welcome Aurelie or Au." Mukhang tuwang tuwa pa siya sa nangyayari habang ako badtrip na badtrip na. Pagkatapos noon umalis na sila and balik sa dati na.

Hindi ko magawang makinig sa tinuturo ni Ma'am, I was still in shock bakit kung bakit ako naging president. Lunch came and diretso na kami sa canteen may kasama na kaming iba naming kaklase and somehow I need to be okay with it.
Bumili na si Ze ng pagkain naming dalawa, ganun din ang ginawa ng iba. Naunang bumalik si Celeste sa table naming kaya nakapag usap pa kami para mamaya.
"Au, sa bahay narin tayo kumain mamaya mag luluto daw sina mommy." Sabi niya habang paupo. "Sure sige, thank you Celeste hindi na kasi naming magawang umuwi pa para magbihis, masyadong malayo." Baka kasi kapag umuwi pa kami tamarin kaming lahat.
Kumain na kami pagkadating ng iba, minsan nag kwekwentuhan sila and nasasali naman nila kami ni Zero kaya okay narin. I guess ito na yung sinasabi ni Ree na makikilala ko rin sila. I never thought na magagawa ko ulit makihalubilo sa iba. I'm really afraid of huge crowds, I fear na pinaguusapan nila ako lagi, and I don't want that.
"Au, you okay?" Ze asked me nang mapansin na nanahimik ako. Tumango na lang ako sa kanya at nag smile.
Pagkatapos namin kumain tumambay muna kami sa gym dahil 2:30 pa ulit ang pasok namin oo mahabang vacant ulit, 11:00 pa lang.
Pagkarating sa gym diko maiwasang magandahan sa decoration ng stage. Umupo kami malapit doon. Magaling pala mag designs ang mga councils and mukhang pinag isipan talaga.
Nag ig story ako, pinicturan ko ang stage at linagyan ng caption 'later'. Pagkatapos ay umiglip muna ako dito natural na ang matulog sa gym kaya di nakakahiya pero ako natulog lang ako sa balikat ni Zero na nag lalaro ng ML baka pero mamaya iiglip din yan.
Siguro naka tulog ako ng isang oras, nandito lang kami sa pangatlong seats sa bleachers kaya kita ko kaagad ang stage. Nagulat ako ng makita ko si Chancellor na seryoso ang tingin sakin, hindi pala saamin ni Zero.
Nang makita niyang nagising nako ay tumayo na siya at tumulong. Kanina paba siya naka titig samin?
"Oo Au, kanina pa siya nakatingin sa inyo ni Zero." Parang nabasa ng isa kong kaklase ang iniisip ko.
Tinignan ko ulit si Chancellor at nakitang seryoso parin ang mukha niya. Mukhang badtrip siya at pagod. Diko na lang pinansin pa at nag phone na lang.
thechancellords replied to your story.
Nag reply pala siya kanina sa story ko.
'See you later.'
I just replied with a thumbs up and closed my phone. I tried mingling with my classmates and we talked about the event later. They are all going later, kaya okay narin atleast may iilan nakong kilala pa.
Nagkwekwentuhan lang kami ng biglang mag vibrate ang phone ko. Nag reply si Chancellor sa ig.
'I didn't like what I saw today Aurelie.'

Pagkabasa ko noon ay tinignan ko ang stage at nakitang naka tingin din siya sa akin. I didn't bother replying. Wala akong ginawang masama. Bahala siya sa buhay niya.
"He's jealous." Nabigla ako ng mag salita si Zero.
"Huh? Anong sabi mo?" I asked again di masyadong clear e.
"Nothing, Sunshine." Nag smile na lang siya at pinat ang ulo ko. Zero mukha ba akong aso?!
Nakipag kwentuhan na lang ulit kami hanggang sa mag time na. Drawing ang subject kaya naman kinuha muna namin yung gamit namin sa kotse, nauna na ang iba.
Habang papalabas kami ng gate sa may harap ay dumaan sina Chancellor sa harapan namin. Mukhang di niya kami napansin, dahil tuloy tuloy lang sila.
Nakarating na kami sa harap ng room namin. Bandang 2:30 dumating na ang prof namin lalaki matanda na. Nag pwesto kami nila Ze sa may tapat ng AC sa may bandang likod.
Pataas ang mga drawing table at monobloc ang upuan kaya dimo talaga kita si Sir kapag umupo ka. Kaya naman tumayo muna kami dahil mag papakilala siya.
"Ako si Engr. Ricardo Z. Cruz. I will be your drawing professor. I only know three students, those who pass before deadline, those who pass on time, and those pa extend students." Strict siya, medyo scary naman po.
"First things first, ayaw ko ng maingay kapag nagdradrawing. You draw with your hands not your mouth." Syempre naman po.
"Second, walang hiraman ng gamit kapag nag dradrawing na. Ayaw ko makatanggap ng reklamo ng may nawala or nasira drawing dahil sa mga humihiram. Maliit lang ang spaces natin kaya baka magkataaman kaya pag naghihiraman." Very true masikip ang room at tabi tabi ang tables, pwedeng magkasagian.
"Lastly, I give grades kung anong deserve mo. I'm very strict with my checking. You can pass early and I will correct your drawing and It's up to you if you will do it again. I cocompile niyo yang mga drawing niyo by the end of semester." Okay, self wag kang tamad.
"Understood?" Prof. Ricardo said
"Yes sir." Sagot namin.
After noon bigla siyang nag pa drawing samin sa isang piece of paper ng isang bagay daw na kailangan na kailangan ng isang Civil Engineer.
Nag drawing na lang ako ng pencil, wala akong ibang maisip. Pagkatapos, pinapass niya ang papers nag tawag siya ng mga studyante.
Natawag si Zero, ang drinawing niya ay calculator. Maganda ang explanation niya kaya napabilib din si sir. Pagkatapos ng part na yun ay nag discuss lang ng konti si sir about sa mga gagawin namin ngayon sem. All in all daw ay dapat maka 50 drawing works.
Madami yun, pero eto talaga yun. Kakayanin namin to. Pagktapos ay lumabas na kami at lumipat ng daan para pumasok ulit ng main. Dahil nandon daw si Keron at Ree nag aantay sa may likod ng business center.
Pagkita namin sa kanila ay agad na lumapit sa Reeilla kay Celeste. Agad naman silang nagkasundo dahil nga magkaugali sila, dumiretso na kami sa sasakyan at tumungo na papunta kina Celeste.
10 minutes na byahe lang ang layo ng bahay ni Celeste sa school. Pagkarating doon ay nakasalubong agad namin ang Mommy and Daddy niya pati narin ang bunso niyang kapatid. Mukha parin bata ang mga magulang niya no wonder Celeste is also pretty.
Mabait ang parents niya pati ang cute ng kapatid niya. Kumain narin agad kami and sobrang sayang ng namin habang kumakain dahil sa mga kwento ni Keron at Daddy niya.
After eating umakyat na kami sa kwarto ni Celeste at nag bihis na 8 ang start ng Freshmen Night, 7:30 na pero di naman kami nag mamadali dahil mag papalit lang naman ng damit pantaas at sapatos.
Ang kambal ay nagpalit sa may guestroom nila Celeste. Nag make up rin ako ng kaonti dahil ayaw kong mag mukhang haggard. Pagkatapos namin nag ayos ay nag picture muna kaming tatlo dahil sa kagustuhan ng dalawa.
After noon, ay bumaba na kami at nag paalam sa parents ni Celeste at nag thank you. Pagkarating namin sa loob ng gym ay pinag titinginan kami lalo na ako dahil ako ang nahuhuli sa kanila.
Hindi naman kami over dressed, naka long and short sleeves lang kami, pants and heels. May mga naka dress pa nga e, casual lang naman.
Umupo kami sa may bandang harapan pero hindi harap na harap. Nag picture muna kaming lima dahil minsan lang naman ito. Maingay dahil sa music at may lights kaya parang nasa bar ka lang, kaibahan walang alcohol.
Di nag tagal ay nag start na ang program, may mga nag perform na groups of orgs and students din. Masaya naman kahit papaano. Nasa part na kami ng announcing ng face of the night daw.
"And now ladies and gentlemen, freshies sino nga ba sa inyo ang face of the night sa mga girls?!" Sigawan naman silang lahat. Medyo napa takip ako sa tenga.
"The Face of the Night for this years freshmen night is... Ms. Margaux Aurelie S. Olivarez from the Civil Engineering Department." What?! with this get up ako pa ang face of the night.
A spotlight went our way and may studyanteng kumuha ng kamay ko para umakyat ng stage. I don't know what to do. Tinignan ko lang yun, si Ree naman ay tinulak na ako patayo.
Wala nakong nagawa kundi tumayo. Pagkaakyat sa stage ay nandun si Chancellor dahil siya ang mag bibigay ng sash kumbaga at prize yata.
"You look so wonderful tonight, Aurelie."
Love, Lara...

The devil's got my number
Dalton was always a nice place. Always had been. When that new couple moved here, we were all ecstatic. They were wealthy, but not arrogant, always willing to help out their neighbors. All around the perfect kind of migrant. They brought a child with them. Jacob. He was beautiful, just like his parents. He had his mother's beautiful hair, and his father's beautiful eyes. But he was different. He wasn't social, or nice, like his parents. He mainly kept to himself. Until one day he didn't. Strange tales, of the boy running around the neighborhood at night started to pop up. Of sacrificing children and dark rituals. The average person dismissed it as just that, rumors. But those of us that had seen the boy, knew the truth. His eyes were no longer the deep, vibrant color of his father. They were the green of rot, his skin the color of a corpse. The devil had taken the boy, and, like a disease, he was spreading his curse.

House of Gates
Lucia and Florencia, two halves of an empire, split down the center in a war that has raged for centuries. In the recent decades of the hostilities, the two sides have been particularly egregious towards one another. With the Battle of the Dead Emperors, the rulers and their immediate heirs on both sides of the conflict have been killed, leaving Lucia and Florencia with rulers not expected to be within the immediate line of succession. Together, Empress Caelestinius of Lucia and Albion Justin of Florencia have met in secret to discuss a plan to end the war once and for all. Nothing is certain as a plan to force the respective nobilities together to resolve their differences is enacted in the form of a trap. The houses will unite in marriage—or they will drown in blood. Maximilian Silvanus, lord of Lucia, is one such man of the nobility. He has fought and bled for Lucia. He has endured the childish taunts of his nemesis, Lady Gabriela Farreli on the field of defeat on several occasions. And now he must end hostilities? A letter from the Empress reaches him, commanding that he do so in order for him to make all due hast with the rest of his noble countrymen for the ancient and mysterious House of Gates. Max does not believe the ‘parley’ with the Florencians will go well. And if he sees Lady Farreli at the House of Gates? Why, he may just snap her neck before running her through.

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!

I am terrible at spelling and I'm not doing this for profit but as a way to relax so no paid editors. I will warn you that if this book gets impossible for me to write I might just end it, but I will write an end even if it's ended abruptly I hope it won't get that bad though. well hopefully that won't happen, by the way, the ending will be the same it's just the difference of whether or not there are loose ends. this is mainly an adventure/fantasy, the romance will likely be cringe-worthy with just how slow it will be, either I won't know how to advance or won't want to due to the circumstances I make, on purpose or accidentally. if you have suggestions for story progression feel free to help, I will, of course, give you props if I use them. Have Fun ----------- on hiatus for very personal reasons and will get back when i can. ----------- so, im rewriting the story. after i rewrite the existing chapters i will replace the existing ones. to those who have enjoyed the story so far thank you for giving me your time and i hope you find the new version even better. it will take time to rewrite the existing chapters but i hope to see you again soon. the story will change quite a bit so im sorry to those who wanted to see what happened next in the original. i hope to see you soon!
