The girl on swing

Part Two

“But it is raining right now and it is quite dark,” said Alex concerned. She just smiles at him. And said, “oh I know that, but I like it that way, it makes me feel at peace, after all, it wasn't so bad it is not a thunderstorm and if you can see me from there, so I assume it wasn't so dark after all isn't it?” Well what she said is right, he still can see her so it was not that dark. “Aren't you afraid, I mean playing here alone in a time like this? He asked. “No, I'm used to it, I have played here for the past 3 years, nothing ever happen to me,” she answered.

“Alright then if you said so. Just be careful when you are here. If it keeps raining, you should go back home, alright. Don't stay here too long” Alex said before he bid farewell to the girl. “Thank you so much, don't worry, you take of yourself too sir,” said the girl. Alex then continues to his room. The rain does not seem to stop anytime soon. As he was standing in the rain while talking to the girl just now, he was all wet. He rushes to his room and quickly changes his clothes and headed for a warm shower. He can't take his mind of the girl he met just now. Who is she? He had never seen her before.

Returning from his shower, Alex just played with his phone. He had nothing to do. And tomorrow is already the weekend. He plans to go back home for a while to see his parent. He has not seen his parents for quite some time. And of course, he needs some financial help from his parent too. His roommate is busy with their phone. Brandon is getting ready to go out partying with his friend while Jason is on the phone with his girlfriend. “Alex you wanna come along?” Ask Brandon. “Oh no I'm good I need to get up early tomorrow” Alex politely rejected Brandon’s offer. “Alright then, don't wait up for me, I might not be coming back tonight, see you guys later,” said Brandon before he left the room. Everyone knows Brandon is the campus party animal. Since he was a freshie, he has been exposed to partying all night. It is all thanks to his involvement as the campus rugby player. Being one of the top students on campus, he has no problem with getting laid. The girl goes crazy for him. Guys envy him not only for his good look but also for his sweet mouth. As a bonus, he came from a very rich family too.

Brandon has been known as a player among the students not only because he played rugby but also because he keep changing his girlfriend. He never stays with a particular girl for more than 2 months. In one year, he already had 6 to 7 different girlfriends. Rumors have it that he only uses the girl as his sex toy and nothing more. Although he was known as casanova, Brandon treat his friend especially Alex and Jason nicely. To him, both of them are the only person that he can rely upon if there is anything that happens to him. He knows that he had a lot of friends with him but they all only with him because he was popular and rich. And that's why after 3 years, he still insists on staying on campus with the two of them.

Brandon left the campus at around 1130pm. Before he left, he remembered that Alex meets his girlfriend at the park. He suddenly has the urge to walk by the park. He intends to see whether the girl was there. But to his disappointment, the park was dark and empty. There is no one there. It was full of weed and tall grass except for the part where the swing was. Brandon stops and stares at the swing. Suddenly a soft cold wind blows behind his neck. Brandon was stunned. “SHIT” that's the only word that came out of his mouth. He quickly left and ran toward his car. The cold wind gives him a shiver. He turn on his car radio loudly and started driving away. He’ll meet up with his friend at the club later.

Brandon drives as fast as he can. He tried to sing along with the radio to take his mind off what had just happened. He tried not to think about it. After a while, he reached his destination. His friends from the rugby club were already there waiting for him. Ken, Josh, and Anthony were all there. “Hey guys sorry I'm late, bad traffic,” said Brandon. “Yo bro we’ve been waiting for you, I thought you’re not coming,” said Josh. “You alright Brandon, you look like you’ve seen a ghost or something,” said Ken. “No no, I just need so the air that's all,” said Brandon. Truthfully, his face said otherwise. He looks worrisome. But he just smile away to hide his feeling. “Let's go inside and partayyyyyyy,” said Josh. Everyone proceeded into the club. The music is loud. It's jammed packed with people. The dance floor is full of people dancing their hearts out. Instead of heading straight to the dance floor, Brandon head on to the bar for a drink. He seat at one of the stools and ordered a drink.

“Brandon right? What are you doing here alone?” Suddenly a soft voice greets him from his right. Brandon look and smiles. It was a pretty girl with long black hair standing beside him. “Oh yes, just having a drink... I'm not alone, I'm waiting for you here” he said. Suddenly his sweet mouth goes into full motion. He forgot all his worries. “Oh yo sweet-talker,” said the girl. “I'm Tiffany by the way,” she said. “Hi Tiffany, I'm Brandon ahahahaha,” he said. They both laugh. “Let me buy you a drink,” he said. “Oh thank you,” she said. After a few drinks and talking, they both head to the dance floor.
