Chapter 1
I plugged on the ear phones and start humming to the song on play – Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade. I reminisce on the past. The times when we would go out and sit together, thinking that this would never happen. We would watch movies and laugh at those where the couple would break up in the end, because we thought that it will never happen to us. The breaking up, I mean. Sigh. Those were the days. And now, I sit here all alone, watching movies and comparing us to them. We aren't that different as compared to what they are showing in the movies. We had our times together and now, we broke up. Big deal. I bet everyone out there had experience that at least once, right? This is so ironic. I thought that we were different from the rest. I thought that we will be together forever. Ha... Forever. Such a small word with the meaning of such a large quantity. Who knows how long forever is. Nothing is confirmed with the word forever. Nothing is forever. Even Earth is not going to last forever, right?
"Bella! It's time for the show," I heard, barely as the song playing was instrumental and I can still hear my surroundings. I removed the earplugs and signed off my MSN Messenger.
"Alright. I'm coming, Alice," I shouted back. She was by the door, hearing the sounds of her taking her bag from the table. I closed my laptop and placed it on my study table.
I ran out of my room with a bag slung across my shoulders. I did not even bother checking my face. I was that ignorant of what the outside world thinks of me after the thing.
"Oh my goodness, Bella! Look at yourself. Here let me help you," Alice said.
She takes out her compact powder from her handbag and start dabbing my cheeks. Then, she put on a little lip gloss on my lips. I just waited for her to be done with me. I pouted my lips and we left the house.
Alice drove her car to the mall. After parking the car, both of us walked to the cinema where we are suppose to meet Rosalie and Kim. This going-to-watch-movie thing was their idea so that I will keep my mind of him.
Alice: What movie are we watching?
Rosalie: Oh, the only movie left with tickets is the Pride and Prejudice.
Alice: Oh okay. Bought the popcorns already?
My mind wandered off on my own. I did not hear what they are saying. Great. A romantic movie. Perfect. Just prefect.
We entered the theatre just in time for the opening credits. The whole 2 hours of me sitting there, only 30 minutes were spend on watching the movie. I could not stop myself from tearing. The romance between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. That reminded me of the times we had before the thing. I was thinking about the past when suddenly the lights came on. The movie was over. I quickly wiped off the tears on my cheeks with my sleeves. I don't even know why I bothered to. Rosalie saw me as she was sitting next to me.
Rosalie: Sorry Bella. I shouldn't have bought tickets for this movie. But it was the only movie
showing.
Bella: Nah. It's okay. I should get over it. Thanks for helping me though.
We headed some place to eat. After much discussion, they finally decided to eat at the Delifrance. I just followed the flow as I did not have the appetite to eat. Had not been having the appetite to eat since the thing.
Rosalie: Fish & chips and Espirit Orange for me, please.
Kim: Set A lunch meal, please.
Alice: Spaghetti Bolognaise and mango juice for me, please.
Bella: I'll just have an Ice Lemon Tea, thanks.
Then, it started. Them trying to get me to eat, I mean. They started giving me little portions of their food. I just ate a little, just to satisfy them. After the meal, we walked around. Kim had to get a dress for the dinner she was going to tomorrow with David. A guy she knew from the workplace she was working last year as a part-time promoter. They have been together since last year. After going to almost every shop in the mall, she finally decided to go back to the second shop we entered to get the light blue dress, one shoulder strap and a flowy kind of long dress. Simple and nice. Honestly, that was the only dress I bothered looking at the entire day. I was like a walking zombie following 3 girls around. Well, at least I'm not in my room all alone weeping my eyes out.
Alice volunteered to stay around at my apartment after the outing at Jusco. Rosalie was busy helping Kim to pick the high heels she is supposed to wear tomorrow and the makeup and how her hair will be like. Alice is worn out from the walking so she just hang out in my house and probably will sleep in with me. There are 3 rooms in the apartment, 2 washrooms and a kitchen. There is also television at the living room. It's just perfect for a college student like me. Kim, Alice and Rosalie stays next door but promised me that they will move in to my apartment next week once their rent for their rooms expire. I was more than grateful that they will be staying over with me. My apartment was too big and quiet for me. And also they practically lived here already as they constantly studied and sleep over at my place.
Alice was doing a little light reading on my bed. I switched on my laptop and opened up iTunes. I used my ear plugs again as I do not want to disturb Alice which will probably dozed off after a few more pages.
I finished off the last paragraph of my English assignment and watched an episode of the drama series Edward gave me.
Edward is my best friend since 6th grade. We so coincidently sat together in class and had been best friends ever since. He has been with me through thick and thin. Kim and Rosalie were the friends which I'm close to since elementary school but have been drifting because of different schools, although we still do hang out often. Alice has been my best friend since elementary school and been stuck to me like glue. The whole entire school knows that Alice, Edward and I are inseparable. Wherever one goes, the other 2 follow.
After finishing the episode of the drama series, I slept on my bed beside Alice, quietly as I do not want to wake up her. My bed was big enough to accommodate the two of us. I slept off after a few minutes whilst I was thinking of the past. Slowly I was drifted into a dream. In that dream, I met a guy. The most perfect guy ever...
