Playing With Destiny

Part 2

"Mom!!! I don't want to move to America! I love it here in the Philippines!" I said pulling my covers back on me wanting to go back to sleep.

My mom groaned and yelled for my dad. My mom had brown hair, black eyes and was always loving. I immediately stood up and rubbed my eyes. I rolled my eyes and got my hair tie beside my bed. I tied my hair in a pony tail and headed downstairs. I was stopped in my tracks when I saw who was waiting for me downstairs. My best friends! Cindy And  May.

Cindy has brown wavy hair, glasses, brown eyes and has a wavy body. May has light brown wavy hair, brown eyes and is really thin. She can eat and eat and not get fat like my total dream. My hair is like straight so I envy their hair alot.

I ran down and gave them a hug. My mom laughed and served our breakfast. "Eat up. It's your last day together. And oh yeah. Sam, we leave early dawn tomorrow so would u ask Cindy and May if they would love to take us to the airport so you girls can say your last goodbyes?" She said as we all sat down. I looked at my best friends and they both nodded and screamed "YES!!".

We happily ate our breakfasts and i decided to get ready for the last day of school. My friends directly went on their phones posting how sad they were I was leaving and that they were gonna miss me. I giggled and got into the shower. I changed into my uniform and headed out. Cindy wanted some coffee so we asked my mom to stop by Starbucks and she agreed so we got out drinks and headed to school.

I walked to the gates and a sign was the first thing I saw.

"See you soon,piggy! We love you so much. Ps. You know our shoe sizes- Grade7&8 and sir. benigno 😘 "

And behind all those friends was a guy holding roses. It was my crush. Matthew James Thompson.  Matt has light brown hair, green braces, brown eyes and a fit body. I blushed and accepted the roses and kissed his cheek as thanks.

Honestly, I wasn't ready to leave all these behind. Not yet. I know I've always dreamed of going to America but I didn't want to leave all of them although I knew Aron and I were gonna meet when we go to college.

I said goodbye to my teachers and in the afternoon, Matt approached me and asked me if we could talk.

"Hey Sam. So, I heard you're leaving for America today?" he said sadness clear in his voice. I nodded and touched his cheek. "Hey.. I'm gonna be alright :) we're always gonna be friends." I said. He shook his head. "No! I didn't want to be friends. I wanted us but u always pushed me away." He said. "Cause when I dropped my pride and asked u out. You rejected me." I said not looking at him. He held both my wrists and said,"And I regret that. Always have. Always will."

Cindy and May came and asked Matt if they could take me but before he could respond.

"Thanks" I said to them and held their hand as we sat in our usual table at the back of the cafeteria. "What happened back there anyway?" They asked me. "I honestly don't want to know." I said watching Matt as he passed by our table looking back at us. "What did he say?" Cindy asked. Cindy is always interested in my "relationship" with Matt. You know if we had one. "He said he wanted us but I pushed him away? I'm really confused right now." I said. Cindy was about to say something but then..

May poked me and pointed to the place where the noise was coming from. It was Matthew. Again. He was bringing  another batch of roses and he had a guitar with him. "Oh man..." I panicked a bit knowing he will be in so much trouble. "SAMANTHA BEATRICE ANDREWS will you be my girlfriend?" He asked after he sang the first verse and chorus of "Just the way you are by Bruno Mars". "Matthew.. I'm so sorry.." I said and left the cafeteria.

I felt him following me so I kept walking til he caught up with me and spun me around and made me crash into his chest. "I will wait til you come back from America. I promise you that." Matt said kissing my forehead. I smiled at him and he let me go.
