A Story Come True

#2 Back To School!

As soon as Cerah reached her dormitory she was greeted by excited squeals. Carol and Christiana were hugging her as if they were on a 'who can first squeeze Cerah to death' competition and the winner got free food.

"G-girlss I get the point. You missed me. I haven't married Emma Watson yet! It's t-too early for me to die." Choked out Cerah.

"We missed you Cer!" Sang Car and Chris together as they let go of her. Cerah couldn't help but feel happy seeing her best friends' smiling faces after so long.

"Yeah I kinda figured", said Cerah as Car and Chris both took her by an elbow on either side of her.

"We have sooo muchh to tell you!" Said Carol.

"Cerah! You won't believe what Car did during the break!" Said Chris with her contagious excitement.

"C'mon tell me already! " Said Cerah as all three of them settled down on her bed, discarding Cerah's bags.

"Promise you won't get mad at me?" asked Car.

"No no no no Car. That's it! I know what it is! You were serious when you said you were going to send a letter to your brother 'apparently' written by me, asking- no begging him to marry me, right!? OMG Car why don't you understand how serious this is to me!? I don't love that cocky douche bag of your brother, but he already goes around saying I'm helplessly in love with him! Now this added- "

"Woah woah Cer relax! Although I did do it  I'm talking about something else right now."

"YOU ACTUALLY DID IT!? AND THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE!?"

"Shut it you three! You stay together for three minutes and this place is already exploding with your voices!" Screeched a voice.

"You can go shut your ears in an oven if you don't wanna hear me you f-"

"Cerah it's the hostel guardian!" Hissed Car as Chris clamped a hand on her mouth.

"What did you say?"  Said the guardian in a low menacing voice.

"I was just asking Car if she was joining this year's shut the oven fu- fu- festival!" Blabbered Cerah. Just then the bell rang and for once Cerah was thankful for it as they buzzed off to class.

They tumbled out of the girls' hostel laughing.

"Sh-shut the oven fe-festival." Cried Carol laughing.

"OMG the old hag's reaction." Exclaimed Chris clutching her stomach.

As they recovered from their laughter and dried their tears Cerah realized how much she had missed her girls.

Students in the corridor stared at them and their antics as they walked past them, but the three of them weren't the least bit bothered by it.

"So Cer, about what I was saying-" 

"Ceraaaahhh!" A piercing excited voice came from behind them.

"Helen! How've you been?" Cheered Cerah as Helen came to a halt in front of her.

"I've been great! Missed the C trio though." Said Helen winking at the three of them.

"Of course. Can anyone not miss the charming, cute and cunning trio?" Asked Chris flipping her shoulder length hair over her shoulder. "What? Too much?" Asked Chris spotting Car and Cerah's expressions.

"Very much."

"Three much."

Cerah sat down on the last desk, Car beside her while Chris occupied the desk before them. "Cerah I was talking abo-"
