A Walk to Remember

"No ! ! !"

I shouted as soon as half of my body rise up from bed and as I gaze my watch.

Five minutes had already passed from seven which means I'm almost late!

My first class would start at seven thirty. I rushed through shower and eat a slice of bread then hurried outside my apartment.

The university in which I'm currently enrolled is fifteen minutes away from my apartment. My apartment is the nearest place I could ever find in where I could stay while studying.

In this hour everyday, I could not get any vehicle in going to school. Buses and jeepneys are full, most of the passengers are students like me, some are employees. And it wont matter even if it's full or not because getting a ride on any of these kind of transportation is much more slower than a turtle who wants to go to the sea due to heavy traffic jams.

I need to take the fastest way there and that would be by walking.

How fast could I walk? Well, it depends but as of now, I'm not just simply walking. I'm almost running.

As I passed by every car that's slowly making their progress on the road, I could not help but see my reflection.

In my reflection, I could see my wretched face.

I forgot to comb my hair!

I face the nearest car and try to fix myself. I smiled at my reflection on the tilted window and styled my long curly hair.

As I turn my body to continue walking, I was deeply surprised when the car's window slowly opened. A guy in uniform was shown, smiling at me.

His eyes twinkle as he smiles, his nose was perfect in shape, his lips were like of Snow White, so red and kissable!

Oh ! What am I thinking ?

I shiver on the idea of what I did earlier in his window.

I put my palm on my face and continue to walk faster than I could. I could feel my body temperature rises. I'm sure my face looks like a ripe tomato by now.

What's even worse is that the more I want to get rid of that Red Mitsubishi car, the traffic jam would led the car to stop right where I am.



Geez!

What makes it even more worse, is that the car's door opened and there, the guy in uniform went out from the car and started walking.

"Is there nothing worst than this ? " I ask myself.

I think, maybe, he too needs to hurry and he's not after me.

Hmpfff . . . What am I thinking ? His after me ! ?

Geezzz I'm still dreaming.

Suddenly out of nowhere I heard a thud!

" Ouch " I mumbled as I realized I've bumped into an electric pole.

Grrrr . . . . This is so embarrassing.

" Hey There ! Are you okay ? " a husky voice asked behind me.

My heart beats faster than usual . I felt cold though the sun was way up in the sky. It's supposed to be hot.

" Yeah , I'm okay , Thanks " I reply without turning my head . I continued to walk and and notice that I'm already in front of the University Gate.

But wait ! Where's my ID ?

Did I forgot to bring it?

The sling is just round about hanging on my neck but where's the ID Card itself ?

Did I accidentally drop it somewhere off the road ?

" Excuse me, Ms. Is this yours ?"

My brain stops working of figuring out where on the road might I have dropped it.

My ID Card is in his palm! He's the same guy in the red car.

A smile was painted on my face. I get the ID Card from his palm.

" You dropped it when you bumped into the pole, " he said .

I fake a laugh.

" Thanks " I shyly utter.

"By the way, I'm Rexter " he smiled as he offer his hand.

I gave him a smile too, this time a real one, "Angelica ."

We shake hands and that's where our friendship begins. Together we get inside the school premises while asking each other's information. Later, we found out that we are classmates in three minor subjects. Sometimes, we would meet at the Library and sometimes eat together at the canteen.

It was already his routine every morning, whenever he sees me every morning to get out from his car. Sometimes, he would give me a ride to my apartment.

I'm glad that because of that day, we have met.



Now , we're happy of our relationship as friends.

More than friends ?

Hmmm ... Hard to tell. Guess Not. I don't know. Maybe, not now.

But as of now, I deeply cherish our friendship. We're closer than I ever imagined we could be. And it all started on that day that way. :)
