At a time nearing a sunset, a girl was seen brokenhearted while seeing her phone. It was her boyfriend, who she thinks is all over her, walking with another significant one. Her heart was beaten, taking its toll. She immediately texted her best friend since highschool.
She immediately texted Francis.
"Yo what's up May?"
"I just broke up. I need a friend right now."Francis is at the other side of the message, looking through his window pane and through the scenery of the city. It was never as beautiful as it is now.
Being friends in this modern world, is too much of a hassle. But not for this two. Maya first met Francis in highschool when they were both the members of the student council. Funnily enough, they were even assigned in the same division. Each division only contains two person.
"Hey France! I guess we'll be in the same division. Looking forward to it!"
"Y-yeah. Me too. Looking forward to that."It wasn't seeming to be rocky for their relationship as friends to begin. Although Maya only thought of him more as a coworker at that stage. Francis, on the other hand, always filled his thought with her. When he goes to school from the city, and until he goes home to his beautiful apartment. He lives alone in the city, as he thought he really wants to be independent.
Days go by, and suddenly they were graduated. The student council members took photo together, and many of their juniors gave them flowers to say goodbye and good luck. Maya get the most flowers, as she was brimming with happiness and joy all the time. She makes everyone smile, even in their darkest time.
She make Francis to never stop thinking about her. But, it was just one-sided. Another point of view was taken when they enrolled in the same university. Many of Maya's friend goes to another university in another town, so she asked Francis to go together with her to visit the university.
"Hey France! You have free time right?"
A ring notification was sounded in Francis' phone.
"Yeah. What is it?"
"Let's go to our university together!"
"Hmm let me see."
"Ahh come on! We have to create a reunion of division 2 together! It's been too long!"
"But I have to check my schedule first to be confirmed."
"Come on, I miss you :)"And that emoji, made the strict dude lost all of his senses.
"Okay. Where do you wanna meet?"
"I'll see you at the station at 8 tomorrow okay?"
"I'll be there."
"See you :D"And both of them went there together by train. The view was incredible, and they didn't have to transit in another station to go there. The university screams perfection.
Maya's goal was to found a living place near the university. They thus try to find it across the living neighborhood near the university. It wasn't too long to found the one that Maya's been looking for.
"Hey you don't want to find an apartment near here?"
"Nah, I think I can commute from my apartment."
"Hahahah of course. Man do you wanna go back to the city?"
"Yeah, sure."After finishing her registrations, they both went to the city again via train, and decided to drink a coffee at a cafe near the center of the city. The scenery was amazing. Cars go here and there, but there is not one single annoying noise heard. It was peaceful. And perhaps nostalgic.
"So, France"
"Hmm."
"You are so boring. You can be cool you know? We're university students now! We're free to do anything we want. Anything."
She continued to drink her Macchiato. "You know, this summer break, I will help you to be popular."
"What? What do you mean popular?"
"Hahahah, you know back in the day, the girls were all crazy about you, you know. But, I think you are just to shy to interact with them of course. And the girls knew it, and they go to me. And it was exhausting to tell everyone that I'm not dating you or anything. So to make things clear, I decided that-"
We should go out.
"We should make you famous."
"I am very surprised of this May. I-i never thought to be that way."
"Is that a smile I see? Is that a smile? Hahahhaha don't get flustered man!"
