*kring kring kring kring*
I turned off my alarm clock and sat down for a while. I went to the comfort room to do my morning rituals. I wore a white long sleeves and a black skirt paired with white flats. I went out of my house and went inside my car. The driver knew already where to go. I will go to the last place I wanted to go to; to the place that I hated now the most, because it gives me memories. As I was driving, I can’t help myself from remembering those memories…
*FLASHBACK*
It was 6 in the morning when I woke up. It’s my first day as a fourth year student! I hurriedly do my morning rituals so that I can go to school early.
“Good morning mom, dad”. I said as I saw them getting ready for our breakfast. “Good morning too, baby!” Mom said as she kissed my cheeks. I am their only child so I got all of their attention. After we ate our breakfast, we bid our goodbyes and I went to school. My school is located beside a beach which we own. Since it is close to our house, I go to school there.
As I arrived, I saw a lot of familiar faces so I smiled to all of them. I always believe that anyone can have a gazillion of friends if they want to. I went directly to my room and waited for my best friend to arrive. I haven’t seen him this summer because we went to Singapore. Yes, my best friend is a he. His name is Storm Perez.
As I am waiting for Storm, my phone beeped. I got a message from mom. It says that they’re going outside the country because there’s a problem in one of our business there. I have no choice but to say goodbye. They told me they’ll come back as soon as they can.
As I was typing my reply, someone covered my eye. “Hey! Stop it!” I said as I try to get the hands off my eyes.
“Guess who’s this first.” He said while trying to disguise his voice.
Hahaha, I got him too easy!
“It’s you Storm! You can get your hands off my eyes now.” He then removed his hands and sat beside me.
“Aw men, how did you know it was me, Missy?” he said.
“It’s easy you know, even you disguised your voice hahaha.” I said while finishing my text message to mom.
“Hey, I’m serious.” He said and held my hand while trying not to laugh nor smile. It was like I was being hypnotized.
“You’re my only friend from the boys okay?” I said while looking at him. I never saw him up this close. I saw his “chinito” brown eyes, his pointed nose and his red lips. I shook my head while thinking. No, it shouldn’t happen…
“Hey, you okay?” he asked and looked at me as if something’s wrong. I shook my head as an answer. He was about to say something when the teacher arrived. I thanked the teacher in my head for coming in. Whoo!
“Hi class. I’m Miss Annie Funtalejo and I will be your adviser and as well as teacher in Science 4”. The teacher kept on talking but I didn’t bother to listen because I remembered that I have to say something to Storm and it makes me excited!
*kring kring kring kring*
“Let’s continue later class. You may now have your break.” Ms. Funtalejo said as she stood up.
Yes! This is the moment that I’ve been waiting for! As I was about to talk to Storm, I saw him going out of the room. That’s strange. Usually, we go to the canteen together. I hurriedly stood up to catch him but I didn’t. I’ll just talk to him later in the canteen, I guess...
