All About You

Chapter 4 - First Day

The sunlight entering my window woke me up. I got up and tied my hair into a messy bun. The kitchen is messy from yesterday's cooking sesh with my bestfriends. They left my unit around 11 PM already for it was indeed so so fun.

It has been almost two years after what happened between that stupid jock and stupid Nadine.

I moved on really quicker than I've expected. If you really want it, then you can do it. I surrounded myself with my friends and family. I was able to control myself from thinking about him and what has happened. I don't want to consider having a boyfriend again. Yes it made me happy for a while but stress stood out more and I admit depression too. Good thing I was able to get over it through my real friends and family. Aside from that, we were on for not so long anyway.

I started focusing on the more important things in life. It's not gonna be always about him, you should prioritize yourself first and therefore be all about you too.

I'm still thankful that it happened despite I got hurt for I realized a lot of things;

Your world shall not just revolve around one person. There are other persons who were already there for you before him, the persons who never left your side no matter what, no matter how many times you let them down. And your happiness should never depend on one person. There are far more in this world than him.

I also learned that my worth shouldn't be validated by anybody else. You yourself is enough. You are beautiful. You are special. You are worth it.

Anyway, today is our first day of school. We have our uniforms so it wasn't really hard on preparing myself. Everything is set already, before I slept yesterday I have readied my things. It didn't took me long to be prepared for school. I look at myself in the mirror and ascertain that I look really somber. I smile at myself and tried to look jubilant but not even a hint of happiness was evident in my eyes. What's up with me? Perhaps I had a bad dream last night that I just couldn't remember (?) I don't know and I don't want to think about it.

I just prayed. It's just my face and my eyes anyway. I don't want it to be a big deal for me. This day is going to be awesome, everyday should be.

In those two years, I decided to take a break from show business first. I made it look temporary first. Temporary break. On hiatus. But I don't even know if I will be coming back. My contract is over. I don't have any plans to sign another contract again and to be honest, I just don't think that that world is for me. I indeed enjoy performing and all but I knew ever since that it's only temporary. I can't have that job lifelong.

This year is my senior year -- my last year as a high school student. I just want to enjoy this. This will never happen again. I mean everyday in our life is a day we must totally live like there's no tomorrow. This quote might be overrated but really, it's what we should do. We can never go back to that day again. This day can't be repeated.

This day went sound. Andrea and I had a lot of catching up to do. Andrea's my bestfriend. Zoey moved to another city for the rest of her family lives there. We still kept in touch though, just not that close anymore as we were before. At the beginning, it was easy because of the technology but as the time pass by, our schedule barely match. We usually just text each other instead. Our last video call was three months ago I think. It's okay though.

"Alex!" Andrea calls, she calls me Alex. Everyone else now does because of her. She runs and wrapped me into a hug. I hugged her back tightly.

"Hey!"

And we started talking about life. She told me about her brother, how annoying he is and stuff like that.

"By the way Alex, Drew texted me the day before yesterday. He was asking for your number."

"And?"

She looks at me as if she has done a crime and I'm the victim.

"Please don't get mad... HAHAHAHAHAHA" then she laughed out loud.

"What?!!!! You actually gave him my number?"

"Nah. I'm just kidding. The whole story is made up. You should have seen your face though." She told me and laughed once again.

"Can you stop doing that? You always get me everytime." I rolled my eyes at her

"I'm sorry, I'm just too good at this." She smirks at me.

"Whatever." I told him and stood up.

"Hey! I'm sorry!" She grabbed my wrist and I just rolled my eyes.

"Okay, fine. Let's go get some froyo, my treat." She spoke and hugged me from the back.

"I was just kidding but if you insist okay then." I told her and smirked.

"Ha. I got you" I laughed at her expression knowing that she'd really treat me.

"Let's just go before I change my mind." Andrea says and starts walking ahead of me.

When we reached our favorite froyo station, we told each other some random stories again about what has happened.

"Hey." a familiar voice spoke coming from behind
