GALEMETRYO

Chapter 2: First Encounter

Allow me to introduce you to Lizbeth N. Umando, affectionately known as Liz by those lucky enough to be in her circle. At the tender age of 18, she's embarked on the same academic journey as mine, traversing the labyrinth of higher education. Liz, however, is not your ordinary student; she's a radiant comet amidst a constellation of peers.

What truly captivates anyone who crosses paths with Liz is her innate ability to effortlessly combine beauty and intelligence. Her ethereal beauty, like a masterpiece painted by nature's finest brush, never fails to leave an indelible mark on those who have the privilege of gazing upon her. But what sets her apart isn't just her striking appearance; it's the harmonious fusion of her outward allure with the profound depth of her intellect.

Lizbeth is more than just a pretty face; she's a scholar, a beacon of academic prowess. Her intellect shines like a beacon in the academic landscape, drawing the admiration of professors and peers alike. It's as if she's unlocked the secrets of the textbooks, turning them into her trusted companions on this academic journey.

Yet, amidst all this, what's truly remarkable is Liz's humility. Despite being a popular figure on campus, she remains grounded, treating everyone with the same kindness and respect. Her popularity isn't founded on superficiality; it's a natural consequence of her warm-hearted and down-to-earth personality.

As for me, I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have Liz as a friend. Being in her orbit allows me to bask in the radiant glow of her presence. And while I might play the role of a sidekick in her larger-than-life story, I relish every moment, knowing that her friendship is a treasure worth more than gold. So, here's to Lizbeth N. Umando, a true embodiment of beauty, brains, and humility, and to the adventure of being her sidekick in this remarkable journey called life.

Wondering how we became fast friends? It's a story as simple as it is entertaining! One day, we struck up a conversation, and boom, it was like instant friendship magic. Boring, you say? Well, not when you consider that our personalities and vibes just clicked.

Yeah, we occasionally joke about our good looks, but the real secret sauce here is comfort. We're so at ease with each other that we practically have synergy coursing through our veins.

Now, let me spill the tea—she's my first buddy this semester. Our friendship got turbocharged during exams, of all times! Stress brought us together, and we discovered we're a dynamic duo when it comes to tackling tough tests.

Late-night study sessions, caffeine-fueled brainstorms, and epic post-exam celebrations? Check, check, and check! It turns out that facing exams together makes for the best bonding experience. And guess what? We aced them!

So, whether it's laughter, support, or shared triumphs, our friendship's a wild rollercoaster ride of fun. Lizbeth N. Umando, my semester-starting sidekick, has made college a thrilling adventure, and I can't wait to see where this wild ride takes us next!

Back to reality

As the lunch break approached, I turned to Liz with a question in mind. "Where do you want to grab lunch?" I asked, expecting a drawn-out discussion about the best spot to satisfy our cravings.

Her response, however, was refreshingly simple. "Anywhere," she replied with a nonchalant smile.

I raised an eyebrow, playfully pushing her for more details. "Alright, but what kind of food are you in the mood for?" I probed further, hoping for a more specific answer.

Liz, being her quirky self, responded by pointing at something across the courtyard with an exaggerated snout. I followed her gaze, half-expecting to see a food truck or a tempting eatery, only to find... nothing. It was a classic Liz moment, and I couldn't help but chuckle.
