HIStory - Chapter 2


A Memory to be Forgotten

Josephine, Jasmine and Jaden decided to stay for a while and help Rip clean up the place, before leaving. It took a while for things to be put in the right place. Still, everyone was curious how all of this happened in one night.


"Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself?" Jaden asking Rip. "Yeah, don't worry about me. I just need to figure out first how this happened." shaking Jaden's hand, then getting a goodbye hug from Josephine and Jasmine.


As Rip's friend left, he goes to the kitchen to get himself some water and medicine to help himself feel better with the headache he's experiencing. He goes back to his room, sit's on his bed with his laptop on and tries to look for something that can just help him pass time. As he was going through his accounts, something that he's trying to avoid but always curious about it, then pops out of one of the social networks he has. Trying his best to not get involved,  he still ends up going to her page and trying to see what's new, and just ends up feeling really bad.


Not feeling too well, he just decides to go around his place and figure out how all of this happened, from the start, to last night, to present day.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a grade 7 student, at the age of 13, Rip hasn't really figured out anything much yet about his life - as to what he really wants to do and what to be when he grows up, what will him happy, what he wants, etc. But there's one thing that he really likes doing, it's to make other people feel better and happy. In fact, some of his friends even say that he cares to much for other people, not that it's a bad thing.

He never really had any idea what will hit him in his last year in grade school, until it was already right in front of him.

On his last year in grade school, he met this really pretty girl. Let's call her Andi. Rip was attracted to her: he wanted to know everything about her, wanted to get to know her more and just spend time with her. The problem is, Rip was never really the type of guy who approaches. He's shy, and not really good with talking with girls. Also, at a young age, he doesn't really know what to do. As much as he wants to ask for advice, he just thought of not doing so, so as not to be picked on.

The easy thing with this is, he knows the name of the girl already. But the hard part is, how to come out and talk to her in a none-stalker way. But in the end, he was able to talk to her but online.

As days passed, the two got closer and closer to each other. But Rip still never felt any closer to talking to her in person or going out with her. Nevertheless, he was happy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thinking about all of this, how everything in this area of his life started, he misses feeling that way: feeling happy and not having to worry that much about anything.

Rip then gets his phone, and texts up his friend: "Hey Josephine, can I come over? I just need some company, at least just for tonight.."

Along with Rip, Jaden and Jasmine also went to Josephine's place to hang out and chill for the night. At that point, Rip felt alive again. Temporarily, that is.
