"Where did you get that story Celes?" tanong ni Sir Gran saakin
"Honestly I can't think of any concepts for my story right now sir, that's why I came up with a story from my dreams."
"Well, wow. That was amazing Celes, I can picture that scene. It's like there's a mystery with everything you've said. From the girl jumping into the water, to the mysterious man who saved her. " sabi ni Maam Rina
Some of the team were nodding in agreement
"What's the ending tho?" tanong ng isa sa team.
What's the ending? I don't know. I didn't even know the beginning. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nasa panaginip na iyon, kung bakit nasa batuhan ako, kung pano ko nakapunta dun.
The day was cut off, and it was already 7pm nang makauwi ako sa apartment.
I started to change my clothes at kumuha ng dalawang slice ng pizza mula sa ref for my dinner.
Pumunta ako sa working table ko at binuksan ang laptop. I need to start the story. Based on their reaction, nagustuhan nila ang story na nagmula sa panaginip ko.
I start typing on my keyboard, but I don't know where to start. This is very frustrating. How I wish that I dream of it again and start from the beginning.
It's already 10 pm at dahil wala rin akong masulat, I closed my laptop at kumuha ng jacket para lumabas ng bahay.
I look myself at the mirror before going out, im wearing a denim short and a white tank top na tinabunan ng isang makapal at malaking jacket. Nilugay ko lang ang buhok ko na hanggang dibdib.
Maaga aga pa naman kaya naisipan kong pumunta sa isang malapit na convenience store.
Dahil malapit lang ito, naglakad nalang ako papunta roon. Pagkapasok ko ay naramdaman ko kaagad ang lamig na hatid ng aircon kahit naka jacket ako.
Kumuha ako ng isang malaking cup noodles at 2 bote ng beer. Pumunta ako sa cashier at inilapag ang mga binili ko.
"Isa ding kaha ng Marlboro Lights please."
Habang kumukuha ako ng pera sa wallet, bigla akong tinanong ng cashier na nasa harapan ko.
"ID?" Napatingin ako sa kahero ng sabihin niya ito.
"Do I look like a minor?" I told him.
Tinitigan lang ako ng lalaki at nginitian
"Yes."
Wtf is wrong with this guy. Alam kong hindi ako katangkaran, pero hindi naman ako mukang minor de edad!
"Excuse me, madalas akong bumibili dito and this is the first time that I was accused as a minor."
Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit nakangiti lang ito sakin habang pinagsasalitaan ko siya.
He giggle and start shaking his head.
"Tatlong taon lang ang lumipas Celestia, nakalimutan mo na agad ako? Ayan ba ang epekto ng pagkukulay ng asul na buhok? Nakakalimot?" sabi niya ng palabiro
"W-what? Who are you?" Kumunot and noo ko at napatanong ako bigla.
"Hahahaha Celestia, hulaan mo." He start punching the beers and the cup noodles.
"What, come on? Sino ka? You don't even look familiar." Sabi ko sakanya. Who is he? Who the hell is he?
"Do you have time tonight? We can catch up, tapos na ang shift ko." Sinabi niya at binigay na ang plastic ng mga binili ko.
