The End

CHAPTER 1

VIVIAN

I WAS dragging my luggage as I stepped down the plane's stairs. My mind was somewhere else while I was walking through the airport. It's my first time traveling on my own because I decided na I want to study here in South Korea. It was not an easy decision since my parents wanted me to study in Europe.

But here I am, successfully convinced them that hindi magiging worth it ang pag-aaral ko don. And I'm already 19, marami nakong natutunan and already got a goal in my life. At sa pagiging 19 years old, nagkaron nakong experiences about love life. 

Even though I got the experiences, parang nagiging tanga parin ako sa love life na yan. I had just gotten out from a bad breakup and it was right before I told him I was going abroad. We already had a strong connection, but I guess that wasn't enough for him to wait for me.

I wiped out the thought of him. Instead of doing that, tumingin nalang ako ng mga restaurant or shops from the airport. Nakakita ako ng Cafe and headed towards there. It's the perfect time to drink a coffee, para naman magising ako because It's a big day for me.

I pushed the glass door and entered the cafe. I ordered an Ice Americano and sat at the empty table. While I was drinking, naisip ko ang mga dapat gawin ko ngayon. I need to meet up with Delancy later. Since I don't recognize this place yet, susunduin niya ako. I snapped out from my thoughts and then notice a guy staring across me. 

Nagulat ako dahil nagka eye to eye kami. "Hala? Meron bang dumi sa mukha ko?" Nasabi ko sa isip ko. I touched my face and bigla nalang siyang napatawa. "Ayos lang ba siya?" Isip ko sa lalaking bigla napatawa sakin. 

He stopped laughing and got up and took his drink. Habang palakad na siya sa pinto, I looked back at him with a confused expression. "May tama ba yun?" Di ko nalang pinansin ang nangyari at inisip uli ang mga gagawin ko. 

Mga ilang minuto ako nag stay sa cafe habang iniinom ko ung kape. Now that I'm done, I got up and dragged my luggage outside the cafe. I pulled my phone out and called Delancy. 

"Vivian! Where are you right now? Oh my god!" Sigaw ni Delancy. 

"Aray!" I put the phone away from my ear dahil mababasag eardrums ko sa sigaw niya. "Eto na, papunta na dan!" Balik kong sigaw sa phone at inend ito. Dali akong lumakad papuntang exit while dragging my luggage. After the security scans, I took my luggage and head outside the airport.

There, Nakita ko si Delancy nasigaw parin sa phone niya, di alam na inend ko na yung call. Nagulat din ako nung nakita ko din sila Raquel at Irish. Raquel was leaning on the car, laughing at Delancy while Irish saw me. 

Napangiti siya at tumakbo para yakapin ako. "Suprise!" Sabi niya at niyakap akong mahigpit. "Worth it nga pagpili ko dito." I smiled while hugging her back. 

"Huy sali kami" Sabi ni Raquel and hugged us both. 

"Hoy tama na, kakahiya kayo!" Sigaw ni Delancy. Napatingin kami dito at niyakap din siya.

"Group hug yarn" Sabi nito. We laughed and headed towards the car. I got in the backseat with Delancy while Irish was in the passenger seat with Raquel. "I didn't know you drive a car now, woow" Ang sabi ko kay Raquel. 

"Syempre naman, para ako lang pwede makapatay saten" Patawang sabi ni Raquel while she started the car. Napatingin kami lahat sakanya at tumawa. Sinampal ko braso nito "Huy gagu ka" I laughed more. 

"Pano na yan pag naging broken ka at ikaw nagdrive?" Sabi ni Delancy. "Hoy, I would never, Dapat sila magiging broken, di ako" Pataray na sabi ni Raquel. 

"Sus, yan lagi sinasabi ng iba" Irish replied to her while laughing.

While the trip was a long one, We talked and laughed on the whole trip, played some song on the radio and sang. It was the best road trip I've ever had.

The trip didn't felt long to me since we were all having so much fun. I didn't even noticed that we arrived at our destination. We got out from the car and they helped me put out my luggage and other stuff. I looked up and stared at the building in front of us.
"So dito yung dorm natin?" The building was amazing.

The design of the building looked like a castle. The dark brown wood and the large windows made it seem like it. "Ang ganda." Ang sabi ko.

"Mas maganda ako" reply ni Delancy sakin. I just stared at her and followed Raquel and Irish towards the entrance. "Hoy, wait lang! Ang bigat bigat nitong gamit mo!" Sigaw ni Delancy habang papunta ako sa entrance. Raquel and Irish was waiting for us infront of a two big doors. In the middle of the door, the University's name was written on the wooden door.

"University of Arts" I whispered. Nung nasa tabi na namin si Delancy, binuksan na ni Raquel ang malalaking pintuan. Inside was a hallway and at the end of it was an elevator. Lumakad na kami papuntang elevator since our dorm was in the 5th floor.

While we were walking down the hall, I looked on my left and saw the cafeteria. It was empty. I thought it was because the students were already at the University and It's just a 1 minute walk away from here.
Pumasok na kami sa elavator and pinindot ni Irish ang 5th na button.

Habang naghihintay kami tumaas, nakita namin hinihingal at pinapawisan si Delancy. Nang makita nito ni Raquel bigla niyang tinakpan ang ilong niya. "God Delancy, Maligo ka pag dating natin sa dorm" Ang sabi ni Raquel. Tumawa nalang kami ni Irish. "Hays, ikaw kaya magbitbit nan!" Hingal na sabi ni Delancy.

Nang magbukas na pinto ng elevator, we got out and headed to our dorm. Irish unlocked the door and I gasped. "Hala!" Nagulat kong sabi. Our dorm looked like It could be a house already! We got in inside while I was still looking around our dorm, fascinated.

"Dibaaaaa! Worth it yung perang I almost died for!" Ang sabi ni Delancy. "Welcome to the University of Arts!" Ang sabi naman ni Irish. "Tara na, Let's take a rest, especially you, Vivian, you're going to enroll tomorrow so all of us could be classmates!" Raquel happily told me. Napairit nalang ako sa excitement. "Oh my god. Eto naaaa!" Ang sabi ko sakanila.

Delancy then grabbed my shoulder and shaked me "Eto na talagaaaa!" Excited niya din sinabi. "Kain muna tayo para pagusapan natin excitement natin!" Sabi ni Irish and we gathered around the table that fits for us four and talked about how excited we are, being together in the University.

Time has passed and It was night time. All of us said good night to each other and headed to our rooms. I changed my clothes and wore my nightgown and drop myself to my bed. "This is it, this is all you ever wanted Vivian" I thought to myself. "And it's your very big day tomorrow, Now let's rest up" I yawned and covered myself in a blanket. My tired eyes started to blink and then fell into a deep sleep.

It's all worth it.
