The Original, Me

chapter 1

"Can you tell me what's going on here? Look, your room is a mess!"

I stopped from what am I doing and looked at to Hailey who keeps on whining since she got in here, here in my room.

"You know Hailey, if you just can't shut your mouth, the door is widely open for you", pointing at my open door, and then back on throwing everything out in my drawer.

Thank heavens! She got what I mean. She shut her mouth and sat at my love of my life all pink bed and just watch me mess up with my things.

Oh anyways, I'm Kailley Shan Rein, a 17 year old girl, who's taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Mathematics at Stanford University, I'm in my second year and I can tell, exhausted and ridiculous are the best words to describe my college life now. I'm a Dean's Lister in our university, just in the middle of the list. Yes, I have the brain, but not enough to be at the top, but it's just okay with me as long as I'm a Dean's Lister.

And the one who keeps on whining a while ago is my best friend. She's Hailey Gail Reed, 17 years old but she's older than me for six months, taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English. We're in the same university but we have different classes since she's an English Major and I'm a Math Major. But still, we're best friends since we are staying in the same roof and I can tell, even we're not staying in the same apartment, we will still be the best of best friends, we knew each other for so long, we're like sisters.

"Why don't you tell me what you're really up to? I'm curious!", she whined, again for the nth time!

"Okay, just to make you shut up", I faced her and inhale a lot of air, "I'm looking for the notebook where I've wrote the story about me and the ass two years ago.", there, I said it!

"But why? What are you going to do with that thing? And anyways, you wrote a story about you and your first love? I didn't know that!", she snapped and a great surprise drawn all over her face. I hate explaining things especially with her, too much questions to answer, you know what I mean, she's my best friend and she's not going to stop unless she knew everything!

"Yeah I wrote a story, but that was two years ago, and I'm looking for it since I wanted to pass it in my English subject, and if ever our instructor will like it, they will publish it, it's my dream since, as far as I remember, to have my own story and to be publish, and you know it!", I sat down too at my bed facing her.

"Of course, I knew! But I didn't expect that the story that you wanted to publish is all about your first heart break! You're still not okay about it, are you?, she sat beside me and automatically she wrapped her arms around me, giving me a hug.

I remembered everything again and that made me feel the pain at my chest, it really hurts. Tears flow in my cheeks as I hug her back, "Yes, I'm still not okay, it's been two years but I just can't get over. And you can't blame me, he's my first love.", louder sobs escaped from me as I said those words.

Since what happened two years ago, this is the only time again I broke down especially in front of her from the things that hurt me really really bad. It's so hard to move on, and I can't resist not to tell the truth to my best friend. I know she's the only one who can understand me.

She hug me tighter, "Ssssshhh it's okay Kailley, I understand you, but I really don't understand why that ass made you cry and broke your heart back then. I saw everything you did just for him. Ssssshhh I'm here okay, I will support you about the publish thing, maybe if the dream of yours came true, you will be much okay then.", she let go of me and wipe my tears. "I guess you better dress up right now, we're going to a party, just to cheer you up! Don't worry, we will look for your notebook tomorrow. Give me a smile, will you?"

And with that, I automatically smile with her. She got up and give me a kiss at the top of my head and she went to her room. She's so annoying sometimes, but I really love her, I really do, I'm so lucky that she's my best friend.

I got up and went to the shower room and prepare for the party! Time to forget everything for the meantime Kailley!
