MY STORY

1

Eline.

"Line, 'san ka na? We're already here."

I sighed and look at my wristwatch. Hindi pa naman 1 pm pero nandyan na siya, she's too early as always.

"Yeah, yeah I'm coming." I said and immediately arose from my bed.

"Based on your answer, I bet you're just about to take a bath. Ugh, you're a turtle as always. Di ka man lang nagbago."

I don't know if I will laugh of what she said or will cry because of the thought that I never even change.

"Shut up. Uh, I'll hang up now." I said and press the end call botton of my phone. Naligo at nagbihis na ako and then after that I look at my own reflection in the mirror. I examined my face and then thoughts step by step emerged again.

Uh, I never thought that this memories are still here.

I shook my head and sighed after I put my phone in my bag. This is what I hate about me, I'm totally doomed. I am now 30 minutes late and I want to kiss myself for being slow as turtle.

Pagsakay ko ng taxi ay narinig kong tumunog na naman ang phone ko for the nth time and for the nth time ay sinagot ko naman ito without glancing at the caller because I know that it's my friend Shyne again.

"Ugh, stop calling me. Papunta na ako just a little patience okay?" I said but I wondered when she did not answered me that's why I look at the registered number and I wondered more when I realized that the caller is not Shyne!

"W-wait, who's this?" I waited the caller to answer but it did not that's why I ended the call, I don't care about such pranks.

Muntik na akong mapatalon nang muli na namang tumunog yung phone ko. Gosh, and this time ay tinignan ko na ang caller and it is now Shyne.

"Line, uuwi na kami."

"What? Uh, just wait a little longer. Malapit na talaga ako." I said, actually this is not the first time that they left me because of my behind time. I heard Shyne sigh.

"Alright but just five minutes okay?" I nodded kahit hindi niya ako nakikita.

"Thanks." I ended the call and look at the taxi driver who are driving.

Wait, this is not a taxi!

"Please stop the car." Saad ko sa nagmamaneho ng sasakyan. What am I thinking? Why did I not noticed that the guy who is driving is not a taxi driver and I am riding at a porsche car and not a taxi?!

The guy who is in his 20s look at me and I was too shocked when I saw his face. It was the face that I used to like before, the face that always made me laugh even though he didn't do anything but his facial expression is enough for him to make my day at its best.

"Shawn?" I shockingly said. What am I doing at his car?!

"Why am I in your car?!" I asked in confusion, sa pagkakaalam ko ay taxi ang pinara ko and not a porsche car.

"Oh Hi, long time no see Eli." I skip a breathe when I heard him call me the same nickname before when we are still in High School. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Just stop the car. What are you thinking and you let me ride at your car?" I asked in perplex.

"Uh, I thought you need help that's why I let you in and why not? We're friends!" I stared at him after hearing the word 'friends'. Yeah, we're friends.

I averted my eyes unto Shawn because I remembered a scinarios.

Shawn and I we're not close when we we're still in elementary, we don't even know each other because I am not a friendly person and I am not his taste--what I mean is, he only befriended those people who have the same standards as him. We were totally strangers back then until the time when we have reached the secondary part. That's the time when I finally heard his name for the first time because he introduced his self in front of us and his a jolly and fun to be with and that is according to him and no doubt about it because you can easily read him by simply looking at his facial expressions.
