celestine sent me her address and it's near my house, i am sure i haven't seen her around here before.
celestine waited for me outside. when i finally reached the house, i can hear people arguing inside.
she firstly went in and just told me to follow her.
i didn't properly greet her parents as they were yelling at each other, i didn't bother to look at them and headed straight to celestine's room.
"don't mind my parents, im used to it." i just nodded
my eyes wandered to her pastel schemed wall with pictures of celestine hanging around.
"nice room you got here.. hehe." i shyly said as i sit on the bed beside her.
we were quiet and i was just observing her room until she begins to cry. i didn't know what to do as being not a friend of her.
her sobs are getting louder like her parent's yells are. i hesitated to pat her back but i did eventually.
"welcome to the behind the scenes of my life, areum.."
i removed my hand patting her back and just remained silent.
"this is me, i was dissed by my friends, i have soon to be divorced parents, i have literally no one that cares about me, my life really sucks..."
am i dreaming? celestine is opening about her life?
"you see, many people hates me and many people are jealous of me. little did they know, im the ones who's jealous of them.." she took a deep breathe and continued
"because they live a simple life without thinking on how to keep impressing people and making them proud..."
"unlike me, i always do my best but it's just people don't notice it but think of me as a bitch, a bully, a show off and nothing will change that..."
"..because i am who they see."
my heart ached as she said her last line. what i think of celestine disappeared from my mind as i see the good side of her.
she smiled sincerely, "you don't have to say anything, i just want you to listen and know."
"everything will be okay, as long as someone's with you." i assured and smiled. her smile widened as she knew that the 'someone' im talking about is me.
why i am here suddenly came into my mind, i think we got too carried away, "about the-"
"you don't have to, im just too down and i let my grades fall.." she answered, looking down on the floor.
"but! i'll do my best to restore my falling grades, and myself, too."
"well, i got the most out of my extra credits.."
"how? by listening to my shitty life?" she laughed but i shook my head..
"it's because i earned a friend."
