Dianne Standford, A girl who loves to stay in a beautiful garden. But she will discover something different.Different from the rest.. a discovery that she never sees and finds after.....she lost
Hmmm, what a wonderful day today. A bunch of flowers is sweetly swaying as the air passes by. How i wish I could.... ouch! Something hit my back. Its a blue notebook. I pick it up and read what's inside. Blaine Torres. I look back and I see her. Its my bestfriend. Her name is Blaine torres. She walks and sits beside me. We were sitting in the middle of the garden.
"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for long time already." She replied, "Mathematics is really hard." "I ask you where have you been?" She stared at me and smile, "just somewhere out there." "That why your shoes are dirty." then, she nodded. "Neither my mom nor my dad is not available to take me out for dinner." She looked at me and said "Don't worry, we can stay here for as long as we want." I smiled at her and she smiles back.
"How about we play a game."she said then I replied, "Yeah, Either I or you go and catches the victim." "Yeah, lets play the game. " A sudden tap from her make me shock then said, "Your eat." "Your so unfair." I run and tried to catch her. "Ahahha, catch me if you can." She shouted proudly. "Im stronger than you think."
We run and run and enjoying the game until we got tired and cool down ourselves in the shades. She laugh at me and said, "Cars and bikes are too slow to catch me." I pushed her and said, "Crazy." "The faculty has decided to construct and make changes in this place." She said and I was totally shocked. "What? They can't do that, Im going to tell my mom, I know she can handle it because she has the shares that my grandfather gave her to take care this school." I replied. "But wait, how did you know that?" "I just heard the rumors now." She replied. Maybe the faculties have given their reasons about this." She said. "No way!, they can't do that, this is my favorite spot, our favorite spot." "My mother, not the teachers have the right to decide. And basically, this was also my grandfather's remembrance to her." We talk and talk that day until we decided to go.
On the next day, we meet again in the garden. As usual we sit and talk, play as we do. I have noticed that everytime I go here, people who passes by are looking at us weird. I mean different from before. I don't know why. And nobody go along with us. But I don't care about it, it is much better spending my time here together with my bestfriend. Both of us are more comfortable than having a lot of friends. Although I have friends but Blaine is my closest friend. None of my classmates have the same attitude like my bestfriend does. Even the number of students studying here in this school. My bestfriend and I even have the same favorite stories. Harry potter is one of our favorite book. In terms of books, besides stories, are the most powerful method in learning. Dictionary (and its meanings) is one of them. That is why we love reading books. And the most meditational way of reading is here in the garden place. There are many written explanations to define our friendship.
On the day when its time to meet again, I stay and waited in the same spot here in the garden. I waited long but she did not arrive. So I waited again and again until I got tired. I saw one of my friend passing by then, I ask her. "Have you seen Blaine? I waited many hours already and yet she did not arrive." "Four hours is longer than before." I mumble to myself. "Who's Blaine?" She asked. "The girl whom I am with all the time." I replied. "Dianne, I don't know what your talking about but I think your just hallucinating." "What? I can't be hallucinating, I was with my bestfriend everyday spending here in the garden." I can't expect she would say this to me, I think she's just jealous. She doesn't have any friend except me.
"Haven't you noticed? Many people are looking at you while your talking to yourself. They think you are crazy."
"What? How can you say that to me, I thought you are my friend but you are not. You're just jealous, for you don't have any friend." I shouted at her. "Believe me Dianne, I'm telling the truth." Huh! I can't believe she's poisoning my mind. "If you want to know the truth, see me tomorrow after class.
On the next day, after class, I waited in the spot that me and Blaine usally stayed. She's comming and I saw her bringing a big book. I think its a year book. An old year book. She opened it andstarted to find someone, someone I really know. (Year book 1931). "What are you looking there? I thought you are..." She gave me the book and pointed the the girl in the picture... Graduated in Standford University high school 1931....Blaine Torres. "Huh! Is this real...she's too old to be the same age as me. No this is just a hallucination. Your hallucinating me!." "This is really true." Shane said. "And the worst was she died long time ago." I looked closely to the picture. And remembered something.
Flashback:
Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for long time already." She replied, "Mathematics is really hard." "I ask you where have you been?" She stared at me and smile, "just somewhere out there." "That why your shoes are dirty."
Blaine Statement: "The faculty has decided to construct and make changes in this place."
~end of the flashback~ "Wait! Shane, have you heard about the rumors that the faculties have decided to construct a new building here in the garden?" I asked. "No! I did not hear it yet." "So is it true, did she really die? Is she really dead long time ago?, no this can't be, she is my bestfriend. My eyes were in tears after learning this. She was the only person I can talk with and now I've learned that she's dead.
"She is my grandmother's bestfriend, and your grandfather too. Shane explain. "They were friends long time ago. They used to stay here in this area, the FU Green. "This was made as what your grandfather ordered to because Blaine and my grandmother loves nature." She told everything about them. This really broke my heart. She went home and I am still here.
I cannot believe anything she says. Until I heard something. Its now 7:00 in the evening. Somebody is calling me. "Dianne, Dianne." A soft gentle voice is calling me, it seems it is going along with the wind. I know that voice, it was.... I look back and I saw.. "Blaine!" I saw her weak physical appearance, and looking sad at me. I'm so sorry, "I didn't tell you this earlier." She cried. "No, its not your fault, Im like this because of you." I talk sincerely as I brought into tears. "I love you so much, but I can't stay with you now. Thank you for spending your time with me. Even in a short period of time, I enjoy each moment with you my dear!" She talks as she slowly disappear. "I will never forget you Blaine. Ever."
After days had passed, Me and Shane became close friends. "Dianne, I have to tell you something, about your grandmother she......"Wait Shane, lets meet in the cafeteria later." I told her. I saw my mother sitting in the garden. I never see her staying in the garden since she became very busy at work. "Mom!" I said. "Oh, Dianne, what is it darling?" I saw her wiping her face. "Whats wrong mom?" "Nothing darling, I just remember you grandmother. When she was still alive, She always cooks my favorite food, its a Pasta carbonara. Every celebration, She cooks my favorite food not being noticed, some of the pasta plates are missing, then she finally finds out that I secretly eat the pasta at the back of our house. Even she saw me eating, she still laughs and hugs me lovingly. But unfortunately, when I gave birth to you, she died."
"Ah! Wait mom, you didn't tell me granny's real name, what was her name mom?" I asked. Then she replied in a soft voice Her name was... .. . . . . . . . . . . . . Blaine Torres.
