My Fictional Euphoria

Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2

Araia Fortalejo

As I open my eyes, the sunlight was hitting my face. I groaned and pull my blanket up to cover myself. I want to sleep again but looks like my body doesn't like my idea.

I decided to get up and fixed my bed. My besty and I have a plan to go to the park today, so I must get ready.

As I finished taking my bath, pumili ako ng damit na susuutin ko at sinuot 'yon. I fixed my hair and put some style to it. Kinuha ko na ang mga dadalhin ko at bumaba na. Maybe Zylah is already waiting.

"At anong oras ka nanaman natulog kagabi kakabasa sa wattpad?" sinalubong ako ni Zylah ng tanong as soon as she saw me. I groaned. "You're not my mom," I replied in a neutral tone. She was silent for awhile. Hindi ko sya tinignan nang mapansin kong iba na ang aura nya.

Lagot-

I turned to look at her. Walang ngiti, walang sungit. Ah her scariest mode of all.

I'm even older than her for goodness sake. Uh, tatlong buwan lang naman pero kahit na.

I returned her poker face which made her surprised. But she still tried to keep her poker face on.

Nakipagtitigan siya sa akin, hindi talaga siya magpapatalo. I sighed and laughed. Kanina pa ako natatawa e.

"Tsk. Go get ready, may pupuntahan pa tayo remember?" Umupo muna ako sa couch para hintayin siya.

She then gave me a glare. "You didn't even answer my question," she hissed. I stuck my tongue at her in reply. She sighed. "Fine, whatever. Wait an eternity for me~" she said as she ran back up the stairs. I playfully rolled my eyes at her.

Matapos ang mahabang oras na paghihintay ay sa wakas natapos na din ang magaling kong bestfriend na maligo. We secured our home before heading to the park. We brought a basket with a lots of appetizer and some of our favorites.

Naglakad lang kami dahil malapit lang ito. Zylah looks really excited, nakangiti ito habang naglalakad kami. I playfully hit her waist with my finger. May kiliti kasi siya sa part na yon. She turned at me and gave me a glare. Alam ko ang tingin na yan. Help.

Bago pa ako makaiwas ay nakalapit na siya sa akin at kinikiliti ako.

"Zylah! Stop- HAHAHAHA" Nang tumigil siya ay saka lang ako nakahinga ng maayos.

"Ano? Kikilitiin mo pa ba ako?" sabi niya nang may pagbabanta.

"Hm, Di mo sure. HAHAHA," I said and stuck my tongue at her. Napansin ko na nandito na pala kami sa park kaya tumakbo na ako bago pa niya ulit ako kilitiin.

Turned out naglakad na lng sya pero based on her face, she looks like she has a plan.

We sat down our picnic blanket and inhaled the fresh air of the park.

Things never changed here. Families hanging out, kids playing with their friends, couples dating--

"Now for my question earlier or else im tickling you to death," Zylah interrupted my thoughts and glared at me.

Lagot. Hindi talaga siya titigil hanggat hindi mo nasasagot ang tanong niya. Sigh.

I smiled at her nervously and hugged her arms.

"Ito naman, I love reading Wattpad lalo na ngayon na may ginagawa akong story, kaya please, don't be mad anymore," I said and pouted. Nagpapaawa. Nakakatakot talaga siya pag seryoso but I know my bestfriend too well. Kaya nga bestfriends kami. She's the most caring and sweetest bestfriend, kahit nakakatakot siya minsan hehe.

She sighed and then replied. "Okay, I'll buy your reason. BUT, simula ngayon ay magkakaroon ka na ng curfew sa pagbabasa ng Wattpad," she said with authority. She looks really serious kaya nag nod nalang ako.

"Anyways, did I hear new story?" she asked, her eyes glimmering. At hindi na sya galit. Buti na lang nasabi ko yung tungkol sa story na ginagawa ko. "Tungkol saan??" her smile widened. Sigh, another question.

I giggled at her curiosity.

I clasped my hands and start answering her question.

"A typical story lang naman siya but, 2 chapters palang yong nagagawa ko and kasama pa, wala pang mga pangalan yong characters ko dahil hindi ako makapag isip. I would definitely write it when I have the time."

Her smile widened. She's so supportive. Obviously. I started to take out our food and arranged it in front of us. We had already laid out a blanket where we are sitting now. I took a slice of pizza and had a big bite. Nakakagutom palang magsalita.

"Araia! I can't wait to read your story. Babasahin ko yan, yon ay kung matatapos mo HAHAHA," she teased me with the last sentence.

"Grabe ka a! Syempre matatapos ko yon, or baka hindi WAHAHAHA" Natawa kaming pareho dahil sa sinabi ko.
