Good morning world. Today is the day that I, Eloise, will be leaving her beloved Art School for the demands of my relatives. I stood up from my bed, prepared and head for school. I'm an hour earlier. I can't help it. I'm excited. But it's not college I'm looking forward to, it's the following hours. I and January, my high school sweetheart, will be meeting later.
8:00 O'Clock Am. It has only been an hour. I frantically looked back and forth on my watch. There's nothing here to do, the Professor is just collecting our final projects. I looked around the classroom. I'm going to miss this place, the high flight of stairs that I climb everyday, my noisy seatmate, Ryu. I'm going to miss Isabel and Queennie and their notorious boy-hunting-lunch hours. But I don't control my finances, better yet, my college choices. Mama Arisa and my other relatives prefer that I take up a computer field. I'm going to miss the every week trip to National Bookstore to buy Art materials. The busy traffic every evening.
"Good bye Art School"
"Hey stupid Eloise, what are you mumbling about?", said Ryu.
"Why do you have to always ruin the mood. I even thought I'd miss you but then again, I will love a quiet college life without you, Ryu.", I retorted.
"Haha, awful, you flat-chested woman."
"That's why you don't have a girlfriend. Insensitive bastard."
"Time to go, here's your bag."
It's finally time. This Ryu, he can be so annoying when his mouth opens, but he can also be the sweetest pal you can have.
"Thanks Ryu, until we meet again."
I walked out of the classroom and ran off to I and January's meeting place. I've liked January for three years and counting but we never became an official couple. He lives far and choosing this far Art School was our only way to be together but It's time to part ways again.
I can see January now. I love his curly hair brushing off his smooth fair skin. He always take good care of his body. He's the type of guy who goes for a regular facial and spa visit. So spoiled.
"Eloise!" January came running to me with his arms open wide, but I dodged it.
"Why won't you ever let me hug you?", January asked.
I never grew up with love and affection. This makes me uneasy. My trust in men isn't fully restored yet. But I couldn't explained all that to him so I just smiled.
I'm standing next to the man who is by far the only man who has been this close to me..and we are about to part again.
"This sucks..."
He laid his hand on my mushy hair. I felt uneasy. While I was so busy taking his hand away, he pulled me in with both of his arms.
"I finally caught you." He whispered.
The tears just started rolling down. I hate it when I couldn't hold in my tears. He's so unfair trying to trick me like this. I stretched out my arms and hugged him back.
"I'm going to miss you January.", I cried out.
This is the guy I've been in love with for three years and counting but I guess we're back to being just another online friend relationship.
"You have to be taller when we next meet.", January said while scaling our height difference.
"Hahaha" We both burst out laughing.
He took my hand as he walked me to the train station.
