Blurry Memories

Memory Thirteen: Sunrise and Sunsets

Today, is another new day. And everything that happened yesterday should be left behind and start a new. Yes, that's right. We should move forward. Aah! who am I kidding?! I can't act like nothing happened specially when it just happened yesterday!

It's been minutes since I finished getting ready for school and I keep convincing myself to act like nothing happened and should act totally cool and handle things like an adult but I can't! If Jia was here, she'd surely laugh at my distress.

I phased back and forth inside my room, holding a comb on hand.

"Aaaah!" I screamed quietly. I composed myself and decided to just ignore unnecessary things and try to focus in the upcoming week for the exams.

I went to school without eating breakfast, I should have just eaten breakfast and not waste my time on some petty things. Now, I'm almost late for my morning class! If not for my classes, I'd definitely give myself one heck of a lecture! Aish!

I almost ran when I got off the bus. My first class is about to start in 20 minutes so I need to hurry. Fortunately, our professor was also running late so I was saved.

Classes started and I still haven't seen Daisy. I wasn't able to ask Lily about her because the classes started as soon as our professor arrived, which was a duration of 1 minute after I arrived.

Lunch came and Lily seemed bothered by something, she wasn't able to answer some of the recitations and she was spacing out most of the time. And, the boys– Christoph and Harvey was nowhere to be found.

Not that I was disappointed– To be honest, I was a bit relieved not to see them because of what had happened yesterday and my another 'oh–so' embarrassing moment with Harvey, but I was kinda expecting them to be there, sitting, talking, and laughing. Teasing each other, talk behind the professors back or talk about how their days and weekends went– though Harvey would not join in, but instead just sit there and listen.

I guess, Daisy not being here affects everything. Like everything, is not in their right places and everything just feels incomplete.

To: Daisy baby

Don't ask me, it wasn't my idea. Daisy came up with that name and told me that it was cute, I don't want to break her heart so I just kept it as is.

"Hey, u okay? "  I sent her that message, but still, its left unseen. Maybe she's too sick to even check her phone. I sighed.

"Lily, you okay? You're spacing out again" I asked her since we have leisure time.

"Huh?" she looked at my direction and asked, confused.

"You've been reading the same page for almost ten minutes now" I took Daisy's empty seat and said, while pointing out the book she opened earlier after our class ended.

She sighed and closed the book.

" I can't focus" she confessed. I looked at her, ready to listen to whatever she's about to say.

"Daisy. She's sick" I was confused but I nodded.

She's worried about her friend, I get that, and I am worried about her too.

"And?" Lily stopped talking so I tried to ask her for more but she seemed to be weighing the situation, on whether to tell and trust me or just stop and kill me with curiosity.
