Catching Dreams, Chasing You

INTRODUCTION

"Aster, wanna hangout or are you going home?" my best friend, Kerby asked. If a home is a place where a family lives, then I don't have it because I'm not living with my family but I get to decide on my own so it's great- I guess.

"No, I still have to do some research, I'm going to Safe Place Cafe later" I said as I watched my school friends nod in a pout but then gave me an encouraging smile before leaving the room.

Finding a university for college was actually a piece of cake, but choosing a course to study is the real deal.

The Exposition and Senior High's Grand Ball is about to come, everyone is busy thinking about who to dance to, or what to wear and I am here wondering what to study in college or should I just not go to college? Oh, that should not be a choice or even an option, my parents will kill me in disappointment.

While other students were choosing practicality or their parents' choice, I was told that I can take any course and study in any school which is giving me a hard time now.

Who said being free was easy?

I'm kind of tired of making my own life decisions that I might soon regret. Sometimes, I felt like I had no one to guide me but I think it's exciting to cluelessly take charge of your own life. I love how thrilling it is.

Dreams will soon be realised, stars are with me because I was named after it. I am Asteria Vega Suarez. My mom told me that when I was born my eyes were shining, she said I am a star shining so bright so they decided to name me Asteria Vega.

Just more research and deep self-realisations, I will definitely find the perfect course for me.

I don't know how long I've been searching on google about different courses related to my "not sure why I got myself into this" senior high school strand which is Accountancy, Business, and Management. The strand taught me a lot of lessons so though I'm not sure about it, I have no regrets.

As I closed the door of our classrooms, It was already dark. Shit! the guard will get mad because he needs to open the gate for me again.

Walking near the gate, I was praying that the guard was still there. "What reasons do you have now for heading out late again?" I jump in surprise

"You scared me! Can you.. open the gate please?" he shrugged a little then open the gate so that I could leave now

"Enjoy doing this for a couple of days, I would be willing to open the gate for you from time to time. You are graduating, for sure that next school year no student will be like you who seemed to like school so much." he joked and I just gave him chuckles "Bye-bye!"

I smirked as I saw that my motorcycle was all alone in the parking lot in front of the school. I drove for just 7 minutes and my motorcycle was parked again.

Safe Place Cafe, I'll be spending the night here again. If I go to a different city for college, Ella would miss me but I didn't see Ella around, just the manager and a guy I don't know.
