Serendipity

The Beginning

Jill
Tree. Tree. Tree.

I'm dizzy. This road trip was longer than I thought it was gonna be. I could be home right now, relaxing in my bath tub.

Daine persuaded me. I can't say no to her. She's my bff, ever since we were born.

We tell each other secrets like sisters.

We don't have sisters, I guess that's what caused our bond to be strong.

Sometimes we even take a bath at the same time.

She's trustworthy. She knows when you're sad, lonely, happy, and angry.

She will never leave you.

The day before my father died, she was crying with me at the hospital.

She was so positive.

"Your father's cancer is gonna get cured. Lift your hopes.", she said.

I sobbed that time. I knew she was just trying to comfort me.

She knows every single detail in my life.

When I went to Canada to be an exchange student, she was the one who cared for my mother.

She's everything to me.

But there's one thing we don't have in common: Romance.

I hate romance. She loves it. She keeps on saying that someday she'll find the man of her dreams and travel with him around the world.

As for me, I will be alone, with my mother, living a peaceful life.

Back to the present.

I'm staring at my phone. I'm kinda getting used to Taylor Lautner's face on my screen.

Note: Taylor Lautner's my fave actor, not my crush or anything.

I went to the apps folder, closed it, and then opened it again.

I'm bored.

"I know you are. I brought snacks.", then a Doritos pack landed on my face.

How can she read my mind? Is she a witch?

"I'm not a witch, Jill. You know that."

Huh. Typical Daine.

She's so crazy, but I love her.

She never fails to read my mind.

I opened the Doritos. It smelled great. Same old taste that I loved.

I got a tupperware from my bag. I put 1/4 of the chips. Mmmm.. Life's pleasures.

A few hours later...

"Are we there yet?"
"Nah."
"Are we there yet?"
"Nah."
"ARE WE THERE YET?"
"Stop it, Jill. You'll never be as annoying as Donkey(Shrek). But Donkey will never be as beautiful as you.", then she clicked her tongue.

"Pffft. Diane, you've said that for the millionth time. I'm not believing you.", then I covered my eyes.

The sun's rays were shining on my face.

Dawn was already striking.

"You still bored?", Daine said, looking at the mirror.

"Yes. I need sleep. But I can't fall asleep.", I said childishly.

"Huh. I need love. But I can't fall in love.", she said.

"Daine!? Oh please! I'm Jill. You know how much I hate romance!!!!", I blurted out.

I can feel she was laughing.

She always does that.

Turns a serious conversation into a sentimental one.

I hate it when she does that.

Pffft..

Love isn't real. Love is just a figment of your imagination.

Love fools you around. You'll be hurt when you find out its true intention.
