100 DAYS
One day, there were two teenagers sitting on a bench. The guy is looking at nowhere while the girl is watching some lovers around them. They were once schoolmates, classmates during their elementary years.
Devon: Hey James! Do you have a girlfriend? Aren’t you jealous looking at the lovers around us?
James: Nope, I don’t have a girlfriend, and why should I be jealous?
Devon: Aren’t you bored being alone?
James: Bored, but I have no one to call “mine”.
Devon: Ahm, okay, I have a proposal to you. What if I’ll be your girlfriend and you’ll be my boyfriend for 100 days. After 100 days, we’ll decide if we continue our relationship or not, deal?
James: Hmmmm.. Sounds fun. Okay! Deal!
Devon: And this is going to be our first day. (smiled)
After the conversation, they went mall hopping and ate ice cream on an ice cream bar.

10 pm
They went back to the park where they had a deal with each other.
James: Do you want something to drink?
Devon: Kinda.
James: Okay, I’ll buy you a can of soft drink, wait for me, okay?
Devon’s been waiting for almost an hour but James hasn’t come back yet. She’s so worried until a man rushed to her.
Man: Miss, is the guy with blue shirt, skinny jeans, and black rubber shoes your friend?
Devon: Yeah, why? What happened? (she’s beginning to feel something went wrong)
Man: A group of gangsters just beat him up, he’s almost half-dead. He’s critical!
Devon rushed to see James, the man was right, he’s critical. They went to the nearest hospital.
11:15 pm
While the doctor is checking James, Devon called his parents and told them what happened. The doctor went out and she was beside him the whole time. He’s sleeping soundly.
11:57 pm
Finally, James woke up but he’s still struggling.
Devon: James! Thank God you woke up. Are you alright? (held his hand)
James: No, I’m not. I know I’m gonna die so soon, I just want to say goodbye properly. (he said struggling)
Devon: No, don’t say that. You’re gonna live. (she’s starting to cry)
James: Devon, this is our 99th day together. I want you to know that I enjoyed being with you…and… I love you.
Devon: Remember the day when we watched meteor shower? I wished that we will be together forever. Please don’t go James, I love you so much!
Devon’s phone alarmed, a reminder saying “100th day anniversary”. Suddenly, James’ life meter is beeping. Devon saw a straight line on the monitor. James is no longer alive. It’s their 100th day together, the end of their relationship and the end of James life.
