Once upon a ti - ...
What's going on through my mind?
I'm not quite sure why, but I keep returning to my pasts.
From the time my mom was still around, to the time Sarah and Dylan became an item.
This isn't exactly the perfect place in time for reminiscing though.
"Earan..?! Earan?..." Sarah had been questioning my name, while Dylan joined her by poking my face.
I was leisurely zoned out; drinking my mocha latte, here at Starbucks, when my two knit-whits bothered.
"What?!? Can't you see I'm happy being alone?"
Annoyed, I slammed my drink down on the table.
"What the hell's wrong?" Dylan asked.
I thought about it.
What the hell is wrong with me?
I'm stressed enough already.
One, it's summer.
We've just graduated high school.
Next stop, college.
Sarah and Dylan seem to have their life planned ahead already.
Sarah's taking zoology.
As for Dylan, he's taking engineering.
Both of them at Stanford University in California.
Here I am, stuck in the mud and having no clue where I'll go or what I'll do.
Two, I'm 17 years old.
According to most, I'm beautiful.
But then again, if I'm "beautiful", why am I single?!
For a while, I'd been quite lonely.
My mother had died 2 years back due to cancer, and my dad died a few months ago from a heart attack.
Plus, leaving the Philippines meant leaving my autistic brother, Vincent.
Although I guess I can't say I'm too lonely, I've got my two bestfriends and my God family to stick around my side.
But whatever, I'm still here as a single pringle.
I snap back to reality to answer him.
"Just.. Meh, nevermind. Don't mind me. I'm irrelevant."
Finishing our drinks, Dylan sang that song from Dora that he knows I cannot stand.
"COME ON BAMINOS, EVERYBODY LET'S GO!"
Sarah covering his mouth to shut him up, I speak.
"Let there be a silence to you!"
Walking out, we all headed to my car.
We sat for a minute, not knowing what to do next.
"Okay guys, it's 2pm on a Sunday. What are we gonna do now?" I asked.
"You guys remember my friend Josh, right?"
Dylan asked us.
Sarah not having a good first impression with him, became hot headed.
"Oh yeah.. You mean that guy who tried to have a one night stand with Earan after we went to see Fast and Furious 6? Yep. Remember that one."
"Anyways," Dylan continued,
