Stars That Shine

Chapter II

Kakauwi ko lang sa mansion and out of boredom, I just decided to scroll through facebook. As I was scrolling and sharing some memes, I got a notification that someone sent me a friend request

' Liam Elijah Ferrer sent you a friend request '

"Holy shit!" Napamura ako sa gulat. How did he even know my name sa facebook?! "How did he know my facebook acc- oh..."

I realized that he might've known my name because of my id. So clever of him.

Nagdadalawang isip ako if I'll accept his friend request or not. But I just did accept it and went to bed.

I placed my phone beside me. I couldn't sleep and I was just staring at my ceiling. I don't know what I was thinking, but suddenly I got a notification. A ' ding ' notification that sounded like the notification from messenger.

Who would text me at this time? It couldn't be my three best friends, their already asleep....

I checked my phone and to my horror, I saw Liam's name on my screen! What the heck!

' Liam Elijah Ferrer: hey! '

Oh..

' Olivia Eleanor Gonzales: oh, hello:) '

Iba-baba ko na sana ang cellphone ko, but suddenly a notification popped again!

' Liam Elijah Ferrer: watchudoin? '

Huh.. quite random but ok

' Olivia Eleanor Gonzales: just laying in my bed trying to get some sleep, lol '

' Olivia Eleanor Gonzales: hbu? '

I didn't know why I asked that.

' Liam Elijah Ferrer: uy, same! I can't sleep. '

Ooooooooh, that's new....

' Olivia Eleanor Gonzales: random question but, how'd you know my fb name? '

I laughed when I saw his status became 'Active 3 minutes ago'

I decided to just sleep na lang and see his replies tomorrow.

If ever he replies.

***

When I woke up, I panicked because my alarm didn't wake me up! I was supposed to be awake by 4:30, not 5:30!

"Shit shit shit!" pag pa-panic ko. I rushed to the bathroom to take a bath, literally forgetting to eat. But suddenly... Eisha called me!

[Hoy, Ate! Asaan ka na? Ikaw pa nagsasabi sa amin na dapat 5:15 andon na!] Pag-bati sa 'kin ni Eisha, parang galit.

"Teka, sis! Maliligo pa lang ako!" Sagot ko habang nagmamadaling kunin ang towel para maligo na.

[Ano?! Akala ko ba 4:30 ka nagigising? Bakit ang late mo naman ata maligo ngayon?] tanong ni Eisha.

"'Yong alarm ko, Eisha! 'Di ako ginising!" paiyak na noong sinabi ko ito

[Kasalanan mo na 'yan! Basta dalian mo na lang d'yan.] sabi niya sabay in-end ang call

Before I took a bath, I played some music to calm me down.

But my panic didn't go away, I just jammed through a Taylor Swift song and still panicking kasi hindi ko pa alam susuotin ko.

After ko maligo, I went straight ahead sa closet ko. I decided to wear my uniform na lang since late na rin naman na ako.

Before I went to the dining table, binati ko muna sina Mommy at Daddy. "Good morning, Mom, Dad!" Masayang pagbati ko sa kanila.
