In a Glance

2yrs ago or 2days later?

The day I woke up feeling so down, lonely and broken. I wanted to cry but no tears fell. I lay in bed just staring at the ceiling thinking what did I do wrong. With just a text message, a part of me, part of my heart was left open and vulnerable to hurt and sadness. The first time I felt the feeling of abandonment betrayal and pain by the one person whom I trusted, the one I had loved, my first love.

'Aly, are you already awake?' I grunted.

I don't feel getting up, I want my bed to swallow me whole now. I just want to sleep, but I can't sleep. I can't close my eyes. I feared the day that we'll meet again. For all the effort and sacrifices I've done, it all went to waste.

'Yah! I knew you're awake. Come one! Get up! We still need to go to this amazing musuem.. You promise me you would go with me.' it's that annoying voice again.

'Don't ignore me, or else I'll call him and ask him to carry you out of bed and..and..and.. and don't read that story again.. That's not you so don't get too attached.'

Who knew being roommates with your bestfriend would be this cool..Ha! *note the sarcasm* just kidding. The one who keeps on interrupting my reading time is no other than Krisa.

'Fine.. I'm getting up. And we'll go to the musuem. Okay?' I pulled myself out of bed and headed for the bathroom.

After an hour we're both giddy gals that's feels the awesomeness of the musuem. A newly built one that showcases the different sciences in the world.

I was the one who found out about it. Me, being a nerd and a really curious person, I really find musuems the best place on earth.

'Oh my..Oh my.. This is it Krisa! I can smell the smell of..what do you call that?' I can't barely contain the excitement in my system. Once we entered the main lobby, I'm hyperventilating. I turned around hoping to see Krisa but I bumped into someone with a nice bod, I may say he has very toned chest muscles and when I looked up.. I bolted away. Its like a meter distance between us now.

'Hey A-ly' Krisa's excitement faltered once she saw the person I was looking at.

'Babe, are you sure this is where we'll be having our date?' suddenly a girl was clinging to him. A beautiful girl, one that he described as his ideal type.

Before I could hear what hiscreoly to the girl, Krisa dragged me away from the scene.

'Did I just saw whom you just saw, that we both saw with both our eyes?' Krisa said with her I-can't-believe-tone. I didn't have the chance to respond because..

'No! this isn't happening. This should be the best day of the week..in our week! Why in all times now? It is now ruined.' Krisa seems really upset. But deep inside I'm having butterflies in my stomach. I was about to say something when..

'Hello, I'm Frances, I think you've drop this when your friend dragged you away.' it was my handkerchief. That old rugged hanky that has been with me through my toughest times. The one that was given to me by..

'Uhm, yeah..thanks..' was all that I can mutter.

'Frances, we should go now..' he said, but Frances ignored him. Then I saw that he notice the handkerchief I was holding, I turned away the moment. I felt he's gonna look at me.

'You guys are also gonna tour the musuem right?' she asked us. I'm still looking someplace else and just nodded though my high blooded best friend suddenly said..

'Yeah, so were just gonna go our way now.. Nice to meet you Frances and you..." Before Krisa dragged me away again, she smiled at Frances but gave a death glare to Rhon and when I looked back at the two, Frances' busy at the musuem map while he had his eyes on me and smiled sadly.
