Saudade

I.

'How i deeply regretted this.'

               Mumbled the young woman as she walked over the grounds of the Pink University. The morning light glowed upon the school highlighted the beautiful shades of pink and violet, palm trees and bushes danced along with the breeze as the sun slowly ascended from her slumber. Eighteen-year old Johanna Gerardo continued strolling, taking in the view of the school in silent awe.

'So that's why it was dubbed 'The Pink University', for a Catholic School this gives me barbie vibes.' 

               She silently chuckled to herself at her lame-ass joke.

               As she continued walking to her destination, the hallways and classroom are filled with happy noises, some students meeting new friends and some reuniting with the old. A few steps later, she entered the classroom with few students in. Johanna avoided them and sat in an area where she will not be disturbed. The classroom is lit with brilliant shades of old ivory and yellow shined through the window and brightened the room. In it are students happily talking to one another and a feeling of loneliness washed upon her. She brought out her book to push away that negative emotion. She ultimately regret transferring to another school, she felt overwhelmed at the new environment she stepped on.

And most of all, she missed her friends and the environment she had grown accustomed to.

               "I do not mind being alone," she mutters, "I'm already used to this feeling, so why bother make a fuss of it." And further she delves unto the book of fantasy to escape the reality.

She has decided to be alone, put up her guard, and of course, wearing her cold persona.

After all, solitude is her earthly paradise.

One particular classmate seemed to notice the aura of her lonely mate. 

"She looked so gloomy, and also alone. I think she needs someone to talk with."

             And so for her to not feel lonely, Blessie Bosquez, the happy-go-lucky classmate, went to sit beside her, despite feeling Johanna's austere persona. Noticing someone's presence, Johanna looked at her classmate and gave her a questioning look.

"Pretty," she thinks, but eventually pushed that thought away as she continued to stare at her.

Oh no, what is going on? why is she here?

Oblivious to her inner thoughts, Blessie smiled and introduced herself.

"Hi! I'm Blessie! Very nice to meet you!" then held out her hand. 

Taken aback by her sprightly aura, Johanna slowly shake her hand.

'Goodness, take me out of here!' Her inner thoughts shouted

"Hi, I'm Johanna, pleased to meet you too."

'Also her hands are soft'. her inner self remarked.

She almost slapped myself at that thought.

               With Blessie's bright aura compared to Johanna's cold one, both clashed, yet blended as they both continue to be at ease with their presence as they talk away the time until the bell rang, signaling for class to commence, forcing them to be on their assigned seats.

The strings between polar creatures, now intertwined. 

What would fate have in mind with these girls?
