You Again

Chapter 2: HI TECH 👋

      Seeing the box which contains her stuffs from years ago made Danielle reminisce her high school years. She opened the box and saw a bracelet. It was a friendship bracelet, Mira and Joy also had something like that. She saw some pictures that was taken on the day of their graduation. She was suddenly remembered that moment when she finally spoke out her feelings.

                       . . . . . . . . . . . .

  Danielle, Joy and Mira, the three best friends who always walked together. They finally graduated and they decided to look at the school one last time.

   While others were still in the hall where the ceremony was held, some left to celebrate on their own. Danielle and her friends went to the rooftop of the school building;

Mira: well.. congratulations my best friends. We are no more high schoolers but adults.

Joy: woah! I can't believe I'm getting old. (They all laughed).

Danielle: it hurts me because I won't see you guys that often anymore. I feel like crying. (Sad).

Joy: me too. (Also sad).

Mira: okay guys one last group hug. Come on.

     They hugged each other tightly with tears of joy and sadness. As they leave each other, they was a moment of silence before Joy spoke;

Joy: too bad I wasn't able to talk to Keith, I might not see him again.

Danielle: same goes for me. Too bad.

Joy: at least someone confessed to you.

Danielle: right. I'm so lucky.

Mira: come on guys, what's with the sad mood. I've got an idea. Why don't we shout our feelings out even though the person we want to tell won't hear us.

Danielle: that's absurd.

Joy: what's absurd about that. I'll go first.

They all face towards the school field and Joy clears her throat;

Joy: (scream loudly) I like you Keith.... For a really long time now.... You're the one who didn't notice.

  They all laughed when Joy finished yelling.

Joy: well... That felt good. (Still chuckling).

Danielle: lemme try. (Scream with her small voice). I like you Silver.... I really really like you... Like crazy bad... Like mad mad.

   They all burst out laughing yet again.

Joy: what do you mean crazy bad?

Danielle: (amidst laughter) I don't know.  Your turn Mira.

Mira: I don't have anyone I want to confess to.

Joy: just call anyone.

Danielle: call out my name.

Mira: (clears throat) (scream not so loudly). To anyone out there who will love me, I'm toxic.

         They also laughed when Mira said that. She really didn't have a crush to confess to. While they were still laughing and making jokes, they listened to the principal's voice. She said "don't let fears stop you from reaching your goals, you already come this far. Finish it".

                       . . . . . . . . . . . . .

     Danielle smiled as she recalled these memories. Back then she was childish and coquettish. Most students saw her as a quiet and shy girl but her family knew she  was bold and talkative. Not that she was pretending outside but she was just ignorant. Often she would get teased by the mean girls in her class but she wouldn't say anything and allowed them to tease her.
