Friendship Over?

My best friend, my crush

Chapter 1

A beam of sunlight cut through my window, gently kissing my skin. I felt the dazzling brightness against my closed eyes, prompting me to wake up. Quick to react, I shifted to face away from the window, embracing the warmth on my back instead. Morning had whispered its arrival, and I welcomed it in my own dance with the sunlight.

Dahil kagigising ko lang, mahina at may pag-iingat ang bawat paggalaw ko. Baka kasi mabigla ang mga buto ko kapag diretso ko itong igagalaw. Masakit iyon panigurado.

I eased into wakefulness with a full-body stretch, then let out a big yawn. Leaning against the wall, I perched on the edge of the bed. Lost in thought, my gaze wandered to the window, where I realized the outside world already bathed in brightness.

Bumaling ang tingin ko sa maliit na orasang nakapatong sa aking side table. Nataranta ako nang makita kung anong oras na. Mabilis akong umahon sa kama at nagsuot ng tsinelas. Nakalimutan ko na naman ang mag-set ng alarm kagabi. Kakabili ko lang kasi ng bagong alarm clock noong isang araw pa. Sabado 'yon at walang klase kaya hindi ko agad nagawang mag-set ng alarm. Maliwanag na tuloy nang magising ako.

Araw ng Lunes ngayon at ayaw kong malate sa unang araw ng klase ko sa school na pinaglipatan ko.

I carefully arranged the bed. I am the type of person who absolutely dislikes having any mess or even a speck of dust, especially in my room, so I made sure to tidy up everything thoroughly. Pinagpapagpag kong maigi ang mga unan at kumot lalo na't allergic ako sa alikabok at inaasthma. Saka, siyempre, may suot akong face mask pangtabon sa ilong ko para hindi ko masinghap ang lumilipad na alikabok.

“Star? Are you awake?”

I had just grabbed a new towel when I heard a knock. I stared at the door.

“I am! Maliligo na rin po ako!” sigaw ko.

“Alright! Move quick!”

“Yes, Mom!” saka ako dumiretso sa loob ng banyo para maligo.

During my first two months at the university where I initially enrolled as a freshman, college students there had the freedom to choose their desired class schedules. Consequently, I selected at least two class in the evening because I wanted to experience that as well.

Kaso nagdesisyon akong mag-transfer at bumalik sa dati kong school. Sa St. Mary College kung saan ako nagtapos mula elementary hanggang senior high school. Napagtanto ko kasi na hindi talaga para sa akin ang Civil Engineering. 'Yon kasi ang kinuha kong kurso ro'n. But it seems like that course is not fit for me. Sobrang hirap pala niya kaya naisipan kong bumalik na lang sa SMC bago pa magtapos ang first semester.

Now, I am currently adjusting to that school where I no longer have control over my class schedule. That is why, I need to hurry up because my first subject today starts early at 8:00 A.M. Ayaw ko pa naman na 'yong nalelate. Dahil nangako na ako sa sariling magbabagong buhay!

Jusko, college na ako dai!

I shivered as the cold water touched my bare skin. Nakalimutan ko atang maglagay ng maligamgam na tubig na pangligo ko dahil sa kakamadali. Ignoring the chill, I quickly showered, not letting the cold bother me.

Ginagaya ko kasi si Queen Elsa. The cold never bothered me anyway!

Lumabas ako ng banyo pagkatapos. Dahil new student pa ako, hindi muna ako magsusuot ng uniform saka hindi pa naman tapos tahiin 'yon kaya magci-civilian muna ako. I wore a high-waist denim pants paired the white round neck shirt. I adorned my wrist with a special watch from a special person who gave it to me and embraced my neck with a silver necklace. When I opened the door with anticipation, I ventured out, my trusty black bag in my shoulder.
