The sun is so up. I miss waking up in this place. In this room. I miss everthing. I'm Summer Acosta Baratheon. Some people call me Sum or Sab but it's up to you. I'm 23 years old. Interior Designer. And right now I am in this point of my life where I really don't know what to do with it.
Ding. Dong.
"Who the heck is my visitor? I'm not expecting anyone because I didn't told anyone that I'm back. Hmmmmmmm." At the door someone is shouting I just can't understand what is she/he is saying. So I opened the door. "My god! I've been behind your door for like hours. Are you deaf or what? It's already 4pm and you're still in your bed." I'm not surprize to see my bestfriend Gayle waiting in front of my door. "Will you please shut up first. I just woke up and I still have my jetlag." I was actually joking. Because the truth is I miss my best friend. She came in and I instantly close the door because I don't want my neighbors to think that something's going on. "C'mon, S! Thank God I recieved that text because if not I'm not goin' to be updated that you're already home." She said and I can feel that she's a bit upset that I didn't told her that I'm coming home. I caught her rolling her eyes on me. Very Gayle.
"Damn! Don't tell me that effin' stalker is still alive." I'm not shocked anymore because even when I'm away that stalker still upates everyone about my whereabouts. That person behind that cellphone app had been in my life since I started studying in college. But until now I still don't get it what the heck does he/she needs from me. "Well, poor you it's still and will always be there. And thanks to him or whatever I've got an access to your life. But it still hurts me that I am your bestfriend and you didn't even bother to tell me." Gayle said it in an upset tone.
I feel guilty for not contacting her for a year. But I know more than anyone in this world that she understand me. "G the important thing here is that I'm now home. I'm not going anywhere. So will you please relax. So what's in your hands?" I changed the topic automatically. "Ofcourse, your favorite." Gayle said. "Frappe and Double Chocolate cake." We said it to each other at the same time.
"I miss you. G, I'm sorry for not calling you for a year." Finally, I got to tell her how much I miss her and how much I feel sorry for not being there for a year. "Well, if you really want me to forgive you. We need to go out and have fun." She also hugged me and I can feel how much she miss me.
"I want to stay home and sleep. Since you already saw me, you can now go home and give me some peace of mind." I told her while laughing because I know she's goin' to get mad again. I'm really not in the mood to go out but maybe this is what I really need right now. "Is that what you learned when you're away finding yourself?" I knew she's going to say those words. She's acting like my mom again. Maybe that's the reason why we have bestfriends. They're born to tell us the things that we don't know. The truth about anything even when it hurts us. "I'm just kidding. Why so serious?" I said clearly. "I just want things to be clear." She said seriously.
"But you know what you've change a lot especially physically. Before you're just my pretty bestfriend but now you look so hot and gorgeous." I was flattered but ofcourse I know that. But I know behind those compliments she wanted one thing. "Seriously??? Actually G, you don't need to tell me those things just get the things I bought you." We laughed together. Well, if there is one thing of so many things that we love is fashion. We have this motto that WE DRESS TO EXPRESS NOT TO IMPRESS. We're not like those who wore what is in trend. We expirement when it comes to fashion. "I'm serious. But where is your baggage I want to see my things." The way she said "my things" is totally funny.
I really miss G. How we talked about everything. I know I have so many things to tell her of what happened to me. I don't know if being away for a year made me even feel better. "You really know me. What I like and what I love. Thanks to this things." I'm glad love everything I bought her. "Ofcourse what are bestfriends for if I don't know what you love."
"You should. Or else will be friendship over." Her laugh bring back some memories of how we started.
Before anything else Gayle Palma is my bestfriend since 3rd year high school. It's so funny because we used to hate each other. Why? Because she thought I'm a brat the same way I thought she is.
We always compete about everything. Grades and popularity. May kanya kanya kaming kaibigan. Kaya siguro di kami magkasundo hanggang summer before we enter our 3rd year all of our friends betrayed us. Dun din namin nalaman na gumagawa lang pala ng kwento mga friends namin para mag away kami. Kaya nag usap kami na hindi kami papatalo sa kanila.
Dun nagstart friendship namin.
Sabi nga nila the more you hate the more you love.
Bigla ako kinalabit ni Gayle dahil masyado ko na inienjoy ang pagrereminisce ko ng nakaraan.
"Hey! Baka akala mo nakalimutan ko na. Wala ka man lang nung mga araw na sobrang saya ko dahil nagproposed na sa akin si Jake. Tsk." I know this time galit siya sa isyung yun.
"I'm really really sorry G. But I told you naman sa email ko na nagpaalam sa akin si Jake bago pa man din ako umalis. Remember???" I don't want her to think that I forgot being a friend to her.
"Whatever S!" Nakasimangot siyang tumalikod sa akin.
"G, I promise to make it up to you. And di ba you're still planning pa naman for your wedding day??? Napag usapan na natin di ba??? Kaya nga I'm here na. I'll help mula sa pinakamaliit hanggang sa pinakamalaking detalye." She face me smiling. I know her so much at alam kong hindi siya magtatanim ng galit sa akin.
"Yeah, right. Medyo nagtatampo lang naman ako. Alam mo naman. Hehe." She said cheerfully. "Pwede bang maligo ka na pala para makagala na tayo. Tsaka I'm a girl and I'm not buying your fucked up look everytime you wake up. Hahahahahaha."
"Diyan ka na muna at maliligo na ako. Para makapagparty na tayo." Natatawa akong tumalikod sa kanya.
