INTRUSION

“sometimes life can be so hard for us to bear, and yet, sweet to remember at times when we are down and lonely, that sometimes we forget to let go of the past and be happy with the future and present that we have”
last day of the week, Friday had finally came into the week list,
students all waited for the final bell to ring. Long hours spent inside the class was worth the reward of having fun on a Friday afternoon,
for those who wish to have fun at the mall.
Yet, for those who were left behind, rain started to fall heavily upon the cloudy sky, as cold breeze swept under their skins.
The lovely weather that they had thought to be sunny had turned into a gloomy Friday afternoon.
While majority of the faces around the city turned into frowns, one person remained smiling, for it was the perfect timing for the entry. Julia had walked silently on the hallways as she moved towards the side gate, since she had no longer required to be in the service because her house was just a few blocks away. Slowly as she phases, she decides to turn her back and go for another stroll towards the sentrum to buy shake or ice tea, and to wait for the rain to calm a little before she had decided to run off to. Few minutes more had passed and she remembered her earlier conversation with her new friend. Her name was lorein mae alva, and meeting her that morning made her happy just remembering that moment where she had made a knew relationship. When all of a sudden a group of black motor cycles circle’s around the sentrum parking lot. having to recognize the black scorpion marking, Julia rushed towards the center and surrounded by the motors around her, the first bike near the centen basket ball court had another person behind his back who had just un boarded the motor and drew closer to Julia, with a faint kiss he gave her a grin and held her hand tightly till she had to scream her pain out.“awww…Julia,…you turned soft, what’s wrong with you…can’t you see you have to come back to us now…”he had now revealed who he really was, and to Julia herself, her face turned pail as she had realized the person behind the illegal intrusion. It was her friend, and old comrade vincet. Shock had over ruled her body and was about to pass out when, at the most un expected time, makr had showed up along with lorein by her side. They where about to go home when all of a sudden julia’s voice echoed and reached them. Quickly as they can, they ran towards the gate, and to the parking lot, where at the center they had found Julia held by a guy who had been wearing a canossa uniform, accompanied with four other students in a bike wearing civilian clothing and old Lasalle identification cards.The distress in the air, with the rain pouring hard on the ground, mark and lorein hurriedly came to their friend julia’s aid. And yet, the expectation of seeing a half relieved Julia did not appear. She had even cried harder and turned into a pleading gesture as she tried to break free from Vincent’s grip, and enduring the pain that she had to feel as the knife sank a few more inches deeper to her neck, as blood dripped from her neckline to her uniform.“please, mark! Get out of here. Stay out of this. I beg of you, take lorein with you. Please! You don’t have anything to do with this…” . Julia said these words as her heart shattered in distress and tears flowed down her cheeks.Shocked yet, mark knew he cannot follow her wish. The girl that whom he had his heart on, was in danger, and it is not his way of leaving friends and dear ones especially those who are close to his heart to just leave and run away. Lorein on the other hand was now crying, her fear of what would happen had brought her to tears as she begged the group of young men to stop and let go of her friend.When it seems to be no hope at all…life gives a sudden gesture of help, as a simple sound of droplets dripping from a distance, and voices that are faint enough to hear…resounds a strong sound of distress and alarm…Vincent had thought to move and take Julia, when all of a sudden time had seemed to stop, as julia’s body disappeared from his hand and a feeling of a strong punch smacked on his left cheek. Julia was safe now, a tall mysterious young man had appeared from nowhere and carried Julia in his arms as he laid her down on mark’s lap. Lorein had run towards mark side and took a look at Julia, she had just fainted in exhaustion. While, Vincent had stood up, having to realize that his nose was now bleeding and his left cheek was now swelling in pain. As he tried to look towards the direction to where the guy who had just punched him, his eye’s widen as he realized who it was, he signals his comrades to retreat and back down.Although Julia had a few scratch on her, mark had quickly carried her towards the school clinic, yet, unfortunately it was already closed that it made him worry more about Julia, with lorein and the other guy on both of his side. Lorein suggested to take Julia to madiatrix hospital so that the doctors could treat her, but, the guy with them had stopped the idea of bringing her there and told them that if Julia was awake she wouldn’t want to go, and that they would not understand. He had instructed them to bring Julia at the lover’s lane, and mark sat at the end and laid Julia’s head on his lap, while lorein carried their school bags and folders.“mark, is she going to be fine…”asked lorein in a worried tone of voice.Mark gave her an awkward look, since he still thinks that bringing Julia to the hospital would be the best way as he thought in his mind about the guy who had saved Julia. who is this guy, and why does he know a lot about Julia…I got to know, but, wait…maybe his julia’s ex or something….this thoughts played inside his head. When all of a sudden Julia gave a shocked expression, the guy had just drank a glass of water and a drug as he kissed Julia on her lips making her drink the medicine he had for her. Although jealousy seems to over rule inside mark’s heart, the minute he had seen julia’s eye’s steer in an open and smiled at the guy who had saved her.“its you again…thank you…”she whispered gently.He smiled at her and left them without saying a word. Lorein asked Julia if she knew who that guy was, yet, Julia could only tell them that he seems to know him a long time ago, but, does not recall when he had met him before. Mark, was shocked but, was still glad that she was all right, in mixed emotions he forces a smile and hugged her gently into his arms. Finally the rain had stopped and stars appeared one by one in the sky.RUMORSThe next morning, rumors had spread out in the campus that there had been a break in the school, and that Julia, along with two of her friends. Rumors spread out in the campus that it was a fraternity fight. Lucky for Julia she had not come to school the next day and took the day off to rest. While, mark and lorein tried to explain the council and teachers about what had had happened yesterday. Until the principal herself decided to drop the subject, since they cannot accuse the students in canossa without the names and proof that they had broken the entry since nobody had seen what had happened. Yet, mark was a new student and what made them believe about what he said about the canossian intrusion, was a teacher noticed that afternoon a young man wearing a canossa uniform outside the lasalle gates. Till then, they had decided to stop the rumor there and not to take anymore notice about it. agreed by everybody in the council, the principal, lorein and mark. They had dropped the subject.“I’m glad that everything is over now. I guess Julia will be alright tomorrow right?” she smiled at mark.While mark himself seemed to stare in a distance, and he seems to be thinking in deeply. Lorein knew that he was thinking about Julia, and with a faint smile she stopped talking.As ordinary as it Goes“Sometimes the best days in our lives are the days where we never regret anything at all, where we don’t seem to blame anyone by our own life’s misfortune’s…”the sun rises beautifully in the sky, as birds chirp through the soft breeze of the wind, the ring of the school bell seemed to echo smoothly around the building halls, a new day to look forward.“wow…the day today seems to be really peaceful. I hope it would turn out as great as the first day of classes…I wonder…”lorein stares lost in her thoughts to the trees and the sun that had shined brightly in the sky, as she waited patiently for Julia to come at the school side gate. Finally after a few more minutes, she arrives. A smile of sweet greetings completes everything. Lorein had politely returned that smile to her dear friend. Words were no longer important for the greetings of good morning, as the head on towards the school canteen and waited for mark. The three of them had been together ever since Julia had introduce mark to her, and sparks flew upon these three young people as they became close, and trusting friends to each other.The rumors, had almost died down, yet, it had seemed as if Julia had not cared one bit of the speculations towards her by her fellow students. This however surprised lorein, for in her thoughts if it had happened to her, it would either take a week or so for her to recover or even become strong enough to face the school and the dying rumors. The thought of shame that had happen made her shiver, and yet, Julia, herself seemed so calm and as feeling safe as ever. Being bothered by these thoughts, lorein had gathered enough of her courage to ask her friend why.“julia, I know you knew about the rumors that spread the other day. Aside from mark texting you about it. but,…” with her voice of hesitation, she had tried to glance away from Julia. not even trying to take a glance on her face, and yet, it could not be helped. Her eye’s had caught the sight of her friend’s smile. Julia took held her hand that was on top of the table, and she smiled at her sweetly. “I know what you are going to say…”she smiled and looked at her in the eye’s, and with these ten simple words she told her the reason why she wasn’t scared anymore. “because, I feel safe…with you and mark with me”. She answered more than what lorein wanted to hear. Suddenly, Julia burst into a hysterical laughter. Lorein had been blushing like a fence painted in deep red, or a boiling kettle over steamed with water, like the sauce used in spaghetti. Mark arrives at last, after a good laugh. Just in time for the bell to ring. A signal of once more, the day has come to its new begging. On their way to class Julia parted away to her class at the fourth floor. Mark had asked lorein what they were talking while he wasn’t around and why she was laughing so hard when he arrived. She told him about the serious question that she had asked Julia and how she had answered it seriously, after laughing at her because of her blushing reaction.Lunch timeEpilogue 1Mark, Julia and lorein together they had decided to spend an hour time off from class and eating their lunch at the school field that was also called the oval inside the campus. The sweetness of the fair weather and the soft breeze of the wind was enough for them to keep them company and relaxed. They had all finished their lunch while mark had started playing his guitar. The two girls enjoyed the song that mark was playing, until he had to stop out of curiosity. He gave deep sigh, and gazed to the blue sky above and stared deeply to Julia’s eyes.“Julia…this morning…lorein told me about the answer you told her…” he paused for a moment and bowed down his head, as he turned his gaze on the green grass then to lorein. “do you mind of I asked you something about it?” he said these words with no hesitations and only pure curiosity.Julia smiled again, with no such trace of hesitation she stared lovingly at the field and the trees around them, closed her eye’s as she silently listened to everything around her. She turned back to mark and looked straight into his eye’s, then looking far into a distance.A sigh…and a flash of memories…while a song being compared into a story of a life, passed down from the past, to the present and the future that she had looked forward to.Her thoughts ran randomly inside her mind, her heart beating soundly at peace, she remember a song, as she tries to recall each symphony that she had heard and the lyrics that it had meant in her life.(Enter song jaded(these years)from the band MEST)"Jaded (These Years)" (feat. Benji Madden) There's a time and place for everything. There's a reason why certain people meet. There's a destination for everyone. What's the explanation when we're done? All the summer nights spent wondering; So many questions asked but no one's answering. Would it be okay if I left today? Took my chances on what you said was wrong? I'm jaded, stupid, and reckless. Not sorry and I'll never regret. These years spent, so faded and reckless. Not sorry and I'll never regret these years. I'll never regret these years. Now here I sit, so far away. Remembering all our memories. It's times like these that I miss you most, Remembering when we were so close. I'm jaded, stupid, and reckless. Not sorry and I'll never regret. These years spent, so faded and reckless. Not sorry and I'll never regret these years. I'll never forget the places we've been, you and I. Our lives are slipping away. Don't want to let time pass us by, byyyyyyy... [Benji] I'm jaded, stupid, and reckless. Not sorry and I'll never regret. These years.... ...spent, so faded and reckless, Not sorry and I'll never regret... I'm jaded, stupid, and reckless. Not sorry and I'll never regret these years.She finally answers mark’s question after a few minutes of reminiscing.“after all that has happened in my life. The reason why I told her that answer was because, I finally understood what it really means to live. And that in every challenge, I don’t really have to take anymore tears, only if needed. Only if I have too, but as long as I have my friends with me, I know I can make it on my two own feet. The inspirations are all the things I need to pass it all. Besides, all of it are just rumors. And as a saying goes, rub a glue right back at you…or something like that…or was it…let people think what they wanna think, as long as you know what is true and what not. I don’t really know that much. but, its all there is. Really…”before mark could say more, the bell signals the end of a beautiful break, and they walked with no more questions asked towards their own classrooms and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon. Silently, mark becomes satisfied of what he had just heard from Julia, making him realize more about how stupid he had always been during those years he spend in solitude. Amie suddenly came across his mind, and he thinks about her for a moment. The things she has done for him, he had just notice, how kind and how much she has given for him just to try and make him happy, comforted and bring back the smile that he had once lost, the day his parents died.Epilogue 2Amie spend the entire day together with Christopher while they try to make a good theme for the intramurals week for the month of September. They were halfway done when; mark came in from his practice that afternoon. He ran as fast as he could, thinking that amie might have left the room already till he reached the classroom and opened the door.“Amie!” he shouted her name, while a startled amie looked behind her who had called her name almost made her cry with mixed emotions. She quickly ran and gave him a warm embrace.“mark! I missed you so much. is there a problem? Tell me.” She had now loosen her embrace and stared into his eyes. Mark held her hand and hugged her gently. “am…sorry…”he then looked at Christopher “hey…can I take amie with me now. I just want to talk to her for a while…if its ok with you man……” he asked him politely. Amie at first was hesitating whether she would go with mark or rather help Christ finish the job. Yet, with a smile, and a nod from her friend, she finally agreed to go with her secrete love light heartedly. Together they walked in complete silence, with only their hearts to speak, with no words needed to express mark’s gratitude and Amie’s love for her childhood friend.Together, they end up at the PLC building of the school, and at the third floor, mark tells her the reason why he wanted to talk to her.(enter song moving on by mest)moving on[VERSE:] Never understand the way she makes me feel When she holds my hand I hope that God had this planned And she was his angel, lost her wings for this world To come down here and save me, she's my baby [CHORUS:] But I feel so alone today Cause I miss my baby I know that she's the one for me I know that she thinks the same about me And I feel so alone today Cause I miss my baby A love I've been missing for so long Her lovin' keeps me movin' on and on and on Her lovin' keeps me movin' on [BRIDGE:] I just keep holding on But I'm not that strong Without you I just keep holding on But I'm not that strong Without you [CHORUS:] Cause I feel so alone today Cause I miss my baby I know that she's the one for me I know that she thinks the same about me Cause I feel so alone today Cause I miss my baby A love I've been missing for so long Her lovin' keeps me movin' onhe held her tight and said his thanks and all of his gratitude, kissed her forehead and her lips and with his sweet romance, he had finally told her, he only felt that he loved her only as a friend. But, for her tears kept flowing and amie could do nothing but backed away. Her heart could not stop from beating, and it felt like it was being torn apart in different directions. Mark could not do anything for her but, let her cry it all out. Broken and feeling like a shattered mirror, she speaks in a weak voice.“you know mark…I loved you so much, all these years, I had a smile only for you…I took care of you…but, why…why can’t you return the love I felt for you…mark…isn’t me…myself enough? I turned down everyone who came across…because…I kept hoping that you…you had learned to love me…from all these years that we…had spent together…but…why…why…tell me why…why can’t you give me your heart…”Christopher almost knew what was going to happen that he decided to look for mark and amie. Mark, slowly backed away from amie and ran away from her. He had tears flowing, with sad goodbyes if what he had to do for her own good. He reached the ground floor of the PLC building and silently he bowed his head down for a minute and thought about what had happened for a second before he was about to leave until Christopher suddenly came out from the bench below the PLC path way, he knew something or almost knew something bad was going to happen that he had followed the two and stayed there for a little while, till mark came and he pointed where he could find amie. He fixed his nerdy glasses and patted on mark’s shoulder.“don’t worry about her. She’s a brave girl…you did the right thing mark. Don’t worry…I’ll take care of her…”he told mark assuring him of what he knew what was to happen to amie.Mark smiled although he had some tears in his eyes he left with no more worries deep down, except his goal of winning julia’s heart.REWIND“what would you do if you could rewind time, go back and do what you can do to make things right? Could you still want to make it come true if you knew what was coming for you in the future?, sometimes our curiosity lead us into danger, but sometimes…we would wonder how curiosity leads us to the right kind of love that we need”everything seemed to shut down on Amie that day. Yet, she was still the lucky girl she knew about herself because in her troubled hours, somebody still came for her aid. Christopher took off his glasses and laid his hand for her and with a gentle gaze, and soft cry she couldn’t understand why her heart felt at ease although in pain, why her body suddenly motion for an embrace.The scene ends everything at around seven in the evening. While everybody was asleep in their beds; Julia, on the other side of the town was wide-awake.Its time for me to go and have a chat with Vincent, I think it’s not good to leave things behind just like that.She thought to herself, as she was about to go out of her house. But, in the fullness of the moon and the brightness of the stars that had shine up in the sky. She had not needed to call for him any longer. The prey was in front of her. He gave a wicked smirk, and threw her the heart shaped pendant she gave him a few years ago, back in elementary. “keep it, I don’t need it anymore..” he said firmly while he clutched his hand into a fist. Julia drew a few steps closer and before Vincent could open his mouth she had kissed him by the cheeks and held his hand to her heart. Tears began to fall without Vincent knowing. “can’t you see Julia…all I need is you to come back” he said this again and again. While she had kept no words away from him as she firmly repeated each sentence she had to say. “I’m sorry and goodbye Vincent…but, I can never go back to canossa anymore…and neither can I go…back to you…”she finished these words as she turned her back and took a few steps away. He reached to grab her body, and yet, he could not understand why he couldn’t touch her. It was like being paralyzed without even knowing why, being sting or strapped in an invisible string. Yet, no matter how hard he had thought about why he couldn’t move he could not take away the real answer that he was afraid loosing her more if he even dared to touch her fragile body.In flashes of black and white, everything faded away as she closed that door and entered her house. It was final, Vincent could do nothing anymore, to take her back in and convince her. He left the spot where he stood almost everyday way back before she had even left canossa academy. While, Vincent head home in silent defeat, she had walked a few gentle steps all the way back to her room. Leaned on her door as she had closed it gently slow, trying not to wake up anyone at all. Her tears silently dripped from her cheeks, all the way on the floor of her room like drips of stars falling from the sky. She smiled, deep down in her heart, she had repeatedly told herself that everything would be alright, that it was for the best and nothing less.-Flash back-Julia before, as said in her autobiography was a certain leader, founder or inspiration by the so call black demon’s inside the campus where she grew up and studied as a student. The purpose of the group was to have fun, and make fun of the school property, students and cut classes. The usual stuff that students do when they are being in a state where nobody seems to understand them, until that day where a young boy almost died, and suddenly made Julia realized what she had been doing all this time, as an act of stupidity she had clearly forgotten that’s she did not know how to swim, and in state were they almost drowned a young man jumped out of nowhere and helped the two of them, it was vahn five years ago, he wore his school uniform and a pierced ear ring like natsume in alice academy on his left ear. The boy was sound asleep yet, as he turned around and kissed Julia in front of all the demon’s and told her to do what is right. Since then, Julia could not believe that she had followed his advice.-end of flashback-Everything was fun that was what Vincent considered the happy days. But, having to experience the thought inside her head made her heart sink deeper. The memories were too much for her to endure that she had clutch her chest and laid down on her bed, while she gazed into the midnight sky, stars started to shine at their fullest. The sadness she felt was too much for her to bear that she could not understand anymore but, in all these years that she had spent in lasalle, this time she knew she was happy.Friendship“real friendship does not require anyone to be attractive, beautiful or rich. It is not by status, rank or by attitude you posses. It is by clearly understanding and accepting someone with a whole heart and being ready to give half of your trust. It takes time, for a person to trust someone yet, in a simple kind of friendship. Any act of kindness and truthfulness is much enough needed to start a relationship that would last forever, while God centers in all the rest.”Out of rage and anger, hatred and confusion we sometimes try to complicate things at this state and try to make matters worse instead of making it something clear for anyone to understand.LUNCH TIMEAmie hurriedly scurried her way across the hall and asked a girl to call for Julia before mark and her good friend lorein came. Julia came out; not even knowing her smiled and gave a warm greeting. Not even having the slightest speculation of who the girl was and why she seemed so eager to call her out of the classroom. Amie did not waist anymore of her time, and told Julia that she wanted to talked to her in private and grabbed hold of her hand and firmly gripped her hand all the way behind the old elementary library near the PLC quadrangle.“I don’t want to play games with you anymore. But, I just want you to know who I am. My name’s Amie marquez from class 301, and I’m mark’s child hood friend and best friend. I want to know…and I want to hear your answer now…do you love him or not. Yes or no” she said this directly that Julia almost let out a laugh out of it. un expectedly, for Amie. She did not understand why her enemy did nothing but, gaze into her eyes. “you know…your beautiful…mark is lucky to have a best friend and a long time buddy in you…”she said. Instead of being pleased by her praised, Amie became irritated and growled at her “please! Just answer my question!” , Julia could not stop herself from giving comments yet, she decides to answer her question. “if you really want to know. No, I don’t love him. I only love him as a friend. That is all. And if its ok with you, I want to be your friend too…”she said this with no hesitation. Again, her confidence made a great help for her. While, Amie struggles a fight between the peaceful communication and feeling of warm friendship from Julia, her heart still considers her as her soul rival. Yet, in the end, Julia had won the fight, as she laid her hand in front of Amie and smiled. “so will you be my friend too, Amie?”, she asked her this once. A simple gesture of taking her hand, and a soft gentle smile, as her fire shot eyes once blazed in anger turns into a gaze of calmness, in her heart the battle has ended. At this point she had slowly realized the reason why Julia was able to make mark smile, even if it was a one day meet. Tears began to fall from her cheeks while, Julia could do nothing but, hold her new found friend gently. She knew that this tears that she had shed were tears of sadness, gratitude, confusion and mixed emotions. The feeling of being neglected by the one you love. Finally, lunch break became a happy ending for the two of them. Julia came back to class while, holding hands with Amie. Mark and lorein waited for Julia out of her classroom, while mark having to see Amie together with Julia almost made him faint. Till, he saw amie smile, and explained half of what had happened and is now claiming that Julia and her are now good friends.A jealous heart“when we are in love with a person we, sometimes forget that person is not our property. We do things carelessly and need not think of that person’s happiness but, only to our satisfaction. To see that person with someone who you do not know, means a whole lot differently to someone who feels something for that special person’a fine Friday afternoon, the last day of the week, lorein and Amie decided to go head home for the day. While, Julia had to buy something for her social economics class on Monday and accounting booklets. On their way towards the national bookstore, they did not notice that they were being followed. Vincent was about to go on and have some chilling out at Robinsons when he un expectedly saw Julia together with a guy. He does not know him, yet, he seemed familiar, it was as if he had seen this guy, before yet, does not recall any information or name. Vincent’s jealousy was now steaming hot, and he was thinking more of running towards the guy and punching him but he knew Julia way more than anybody else. If he ever did, then that would mean she will not even dare to talk to him ever again, neither forgive him for everything that has happened. Having to have notice, how stupid he was staring at her from a distance and despising the guy who she was with. Made him feel like a total idiot. Finally eh turns back and took his ride.-A SWEET GOODNIGHT AND A WONDERFUL NIGHT-finally the list was done, mark held Julia gently around her waist and hugged her, it was around six in the evening and he had just finished taking her back home at the adelina village, with her sweet and gentle voice, she smiles and gave her a sweet goodnight for a wonderful night.A MATCH MADE IN HEAVENAn ordinary day for everyone, lorein was on her way to visit Julia on this fine Saturday morning, when she was about to enter the village gate, someone had caught her attention. It was Vincent, he had approached her with a smile on his face as un expected as it goes, mark was struck in deep emotions. “oh…hey…winter…I didn’t know you were here. Got a group practice or something?” lorein said to him in a sweet and gentle voice.He replies blushing “ahmm…yeah…I guess…amm…if your looking for Julia…she’s not there, she just went out. She’ll be back at 12 noon, so if your gonna wait it’ll be long…”he said informantly.`she then smiled and said “then, I’ll wait for her then…but. I just wanna know if why you break in to lasalle vince…” lorein had asked this question out in the blue that made Vincent sat down on the bench. “I just wanted her to come back…I didn’t know you were with her…I’m sorry that was stupid of me..” sad expressions as the sky covered in dark shades, a sign it was about to rain. The bench were they sat, did not have any tent or shade for them to be kept away from the rain, and when it had started to pour down. Lorein and Vincent where both trapped and dripping wet in the middle, their eyes gaze at peace while their hearts beat at the same time. It was as if rain , had become the key to a new found relationship.Soon the rain had stopped and a tricycle suddenly stopped in the middle to see how the two them were doing while, Julia paid the driver right away to lend them some dry clothes after waiting for her for so long, it sort of came as a surprise for her, to know that Vincent and lorein knew each other all this time.“Julia, don’t you remember? I told you. We were at the same school in elementary. When I told you that, I meant, I already seen you before. Silly! Hehehe”Julia, tried to remember, and as soon as she was reminded that lorein did tell her about it, she smiled and they began to reminisce those times when they still studied in canossa. Yet, after a few minutes of laughter, Vincent finally interrupted the conversation, and made a clear serious forum for them.“Julia, am sorry if I did that entry last time. But, I have to tell you this, ever since you left, the fraternity that we founded before, you knew it was a well respected and and feared foundation. But, it all went in total chaos. The seniors are using the name and everyone is being bullied with no valid reason…I can’t stand it. What’s worse is there betting it on you!!!” Vincent told them furiously. A shocking news, but, Julia replied gently as she smiled. “honestly vince, it doesn’t really matter to me anymore. I’m at peace now, and whatever they bet, is no longer my business. If you really want to go somewhere or do something that is worthwhile, then, why don’t you move out and do the right thing to do its your choice cause its your life…” she ended firmly. Moved by her little explanation; Vincent tried to reply to what she had just said when, she had just stood up and drag both of them to the gate. “well, anyway vince, I think the two of you should be going…heheheh…its getting really late, and its kind of a long way back to your house lorein, right? Bye now… ” before they could say a word, Julia had shut the door behind them.THE NEXT DAYJulia had her hands full trying to finish her math, lorein and mark were doing the same thing while, it was amie’s turn to erase the board that morning and ready the bulletin. Everything seemed to look normal till, their fellow classmates from their respective classrooms started to buzz like humming groups of bees in search of honey. Each one peeped outside the door. Mark went down to the third floor and thought to check what was going on. While, Julia had just seen the two of them checking out the seen. Mark was surprised to find lorein in the middle of the crowed and especially more surprised to find the nutcase who almost kidnapped Julia.As gentle and caring as the wind when it is calm, her face glowed like an angel who had just descend down from the heavens. She had gave her warmest welcome and even without having to say a single word. I knew she meant too me, the words of gratitude. She had been proud that I had moved out and finally chose the things that had to be done, only by me alone.Julia approached Vincent, and shook hands. “Welcome to LaSalle lipa…what section are you in?” she said laughing back at him, her humor seemed so light since the last time he saw her, and for the first time he felt her warmth of being a friend, and his heart had calmed down.”While, Amie had remained inside the classroom. The bell rang and the teacher had introduced to them the new student. She was surprised at first but then thought that perhaps it was just a coincidence that everything had happened accordingly in her dream last night.lunch timeAmie decided she wanted to eat inside the classroom, since she hadn’t finished he English yet, and took out her lunch on the table. While mark was on his way to the green site bookstore to buy some paper and materials for social economics, when amie remembered that she had just left her stuff back at home and followed makr that was about to go downstairs already and asked him if he could by a few things for her. When Amie returned, she had found her lunch being eaten by the new kid. “ahhhhhHHHH”my LUNCH!!!!!” she screamed and tried to take her lunch away from the new guy. But, it was too late. Her lunch was gone, and making her awfully mad, since it was only she and he inside the class she yelled at the top of her voice. “what the HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM!!!WHY DID YOU EAT MY LUNCH!” she yelled. Vincent replied while she handed her the spoon and fork. “Sorry, I thought it was meant for me. Because I saw how much girls were making a fuss over me. Getting to know me. Hehehehe…” he said sarcastically. Not happy with the answer she had just heard results her to chase Vincent in circles inside the classroom. While the two were busy chasing and running away from one another, mark, lorein and Julia came to see Amie. They were going to ask her if she would want to join them after class. But, before they could even do so, Vincent had ran towards them and to his attempt to break and stop in front of them failed especially when, Amie came in crashing right behind him. The two fell, with Amie on top, and him under. The scene were as if meant to happen. It was what exactly in Amie’s dream that made her nervous especially when she had realized that Vincent was now holding her hand close to his chest.All of a sudden, time seemed to have seized itself from ticking, Julia and her companions fell silent. Finally it all breaks up, when Vincent decided to speak.“Hey, listen…I know your mad…but, am sorry alright? I hope you can forgive me…”he said sweetly as he stared at her in her eyes.Trying to catch her breath, trying hard to stop his heart. Two souls finally felt the same beat of the heart and the warmth they had felt.Amie fell silent, trying hard to hide her sudden feelings, she stood up and fixed her uniform. “its ok. But, I can’t forgive you. Anyway, guys I’ll be busy today. I gtg its already time. We all should go back to class now.”She said, trying hard to sound cold all over.Mark, lorein and Julia were puzzled enough that they all fell silent and agreed to go back to their own classrooms. Julia, thought that maybe it wasn’t really the right day or the perfect timing to go on and relax this afternoon, so she just turned around and smiled, called out mark and lorein’s name. “hey guys! Lets just do it next time. Alright? See yah!”She smiled, and head back to her class.Finally, the four corners of the classroom were about to free the captivated time inside the room, the clock finally ticks its final hand. The bell rings, at last the day has finally ended. Everyone hurried home, Amie dashed right away and head home, before Vincent could even catch her and talk to her again. She arrived home, around six and slipped in her ordinary clothes.Slowly she had clutched her chest and tears started to fall. What’s going on, what am I feelings? I can’t stand this. I can’t fall for anyone yet, am not ready.The sands from the hour class fell so fast, the calendars of the year moved so fast, as each day that had passed by, it seemed so much of a shock to feel an unexpected love. But, before she could stop herself, her heart had already started beating. Her mind enters a flash back.FLASHBACKThis morning, she just realized the first time her eyes laid on him; she could not explain why while the teacher was introducing Vincent, he could not stop herself from looking at him.End of flashbackHer heartbeat, and her feelings were all mixed. It seemed as if she wanted to shout and let everyone know that she does not like Vincent at all. Yet, at the back of her mind, she knew what the real answer was.MeanwhileThe other half knew what he had to do.Everything did not seem to become a puzzle. Vincent knew exactly what was happening at that time. He laid down on his bed and gazed into the moonlight, he whispered to himself. Is she the one, is she the girl that’s destined for me to love? If so then, I am moving on. Thank you Julia. You really had changed my life, and everything there is about me.
