2 WHEN THE SUN ROSE

Third Person

4 years ago. New York City

A girl with light brown hair and ash colored eyes silently leaning at the railings of her balcony while scrolling through the photos on her phone. Only the earthshine from the moon serves as her light while the cold night breeze flew her silky hair and the hem of her white nightgown sways from side to side.

While looking blankly at the photos, a sudden call popped up from her phone. A smile was formed in her lips.

"Hey?" She started and turned back now facing the glowing moon.

"Hey love, I'm sorry did I disturbed your sleep?" The male from the other side asked in worry

"Nope, I'm not yet sleeping don't worry" She answered with her sweet honey-like voice

"That's a relief then. Why are you still awake?"

"Can't sleep. You're not here" She said sweetly

A sigh was heard from the caller

"A little more time yeah?" The male assured

"Y-yeah"

But who would knew that when she woke up next morning after that call, she was no longer in the reality that she knew as hers.

I never want it to be like this . If only I knew, then I should've stayed up all night

Now she spent her last four years being alone without the only person she trusts. Carrying all the burden by herself and suffering from the pain that the reality left her plus the current ones. She tried her best to go back but she can't. She doesn't know her way back.

And now, all she can do is stare at the moon. As much as she wanted to touch it, it's too hard to reach, and she knew that once the moon slept, the sun will rose.

And a new beginning will start

Present

Nagkalat sa buong hallway ang mga estudyante na may kaniya-kaniyang pinag-kakaabalahan, may iilan namang nasa loob lamang ng classroom at nagbabasa-basa, ngunit lahat ng ginagawa nila ay nahinto nang dumaan ang babaeng may tsokolate at di-gaanong kulot na buhok. Her hair is glowing from the sunlight and slightly bouncing while she walks through the hallways, not noticing the stares from the students. I mean, who wouldn't?

Hindi mapagkakaila ang kagandahan ng dalaga, lalo na at suot suot nito ang uniporme ng bagong paaralang papasukan niya. White long sleeves na nakabukas ang dalawang butones sa taas, black short skirts at pulang necktie na niluwagan pa sa kaniyang leeg.

One...no, two words can describe her right now

Hot and gorgeous.

"Class 1-A...." Mahinang sambit ng dalaga sa sarili ngunit hindi nito napansin na may nakarinig sakanyang isang lalaki.

"You're from Class 1-A too?" Napagitla ang dalaga sa biglaang pagsulpot ng binata sa kanyang harapan na may malaking ngiti. The brown haired girl held her chest and glared at the boy

"O-oh, I-I'm sorry di ko sinasadya, nagulat ata kita. Magkaklase kasi tayo" The boy said while rubbing his cheeks

"It's okay. So do you know where's our classroom?" She politely asked

"Yep, kung ayos lang sayo sabay na tayo pumunta?"

"Yeah, sure"

Tahimik na naglakad ang dalawa habang patuloy pading pinagtitinginan ng mga estudyante ang babae idagdag mo pa ang lalaking may itim at magulong buhok na kasama nito, pero nakapadagdag din sa charisma ng lalaki ang magulo nitong buhok.

The male glanced at the short girl beside him. Sa hula nito ay mga nasa 5'0 lamang ang tangkad niya.

'She's pretty'

Nang hindi na natiis ng binata ang katahimikan ay muli itong nagsalita

"My name is Zander by the way, what about yours?" Umangat ang tingin ng babae mula sa papel na hawak niya

"Crest Lumina" She replied shortly

"That's a nice name!, may naisip ka na ba na pwedeng salihang club?" Tanong muli ni Zander

"Well. I kinda like music so I guess I'll try to join the music club" Crest asnwered with a small grin reminiscing every moment she spent with melody and tunes

"I love music too! Plano ko din mag-pasa ng application form sa Music Club mamaya, gusto mo sabay na tayong magpasa? Gusto ko na din makita yung Music club room!" The male exclaimed with stars in his eyes. Crest smiled to herself knowing that this boy knows his passion, but that smile immediately dropped when she realized that she's not supposed to let herself be attach to someone in this world.

No. I don't want to. It might change everything including my mind and perspective and I don't want that.

"Let's go! Magsisimula na ang klase" Her eyes widened when Zander held her wrist.

'What am I doing? I'm not supposed to interact with anyone! ... but his hands are warm and gentle around my wrist'

It was lunchtime when Zander excitedly pull Crest with him.

"H-hey!"

"Sorry, I'm just too excited! I wanna see the Club Room!"

Crest sighed and let herself be pulled by the messy haired guy. Smiling at herself while looking at the hands that grasps her wrist...her face went blank in a second. It's starting. Everything is starting from when she stepped inside the campus and Zander talked to her, everything has already begun.

She closed her eyes and tilted her head. A sigh escaped from her mouth the moment she felt the sudden familiar feeling of loneliness and despair.

I'm already torn apart, is there still a way to fix myself other than missing him? No. Being attach with someone here is not the solution, it will only cause more pain. After all, they were made to leave me, and I was made to be alone.

Zander knocked at the Music Room #1 three times while tapping his foot in excitement. The word 'come in' was heard form the inside

Entering, her ash gray eyes met hazel ones. There four students in the room excluding them, A blond haired male with blue ocean-like orbs, A guy with a decently waxed brown hair with black eyes, black haired boy with mullet and a short and brown haired girl with glasses.

"Good Afternoon Seniors! I'm Zander Rivera First year from Class 1-A and we're here to pass our application form to join the club" As usual, the male bubbly exclaimed

"I'm Crest Lumina and I'm interested in joining the club as well" Crest said and handed them the application form. The black mullet haired guy showed them a genuine smile and guided them to a chair to sit down.

"Woah, sa wakas may nadadagdag na din!" Masayang sambit ng lalaking blondino

"Pero, hindi po ba mag au-audition muna kami?" Takang tanong ni Zander

"Audition? Nah, You already know to yourselves that you can sing or play instruments right? Then that's enough for us "Nakangiting sabi ng babaeng may maiksing buhok

"Atsaka kulang na din kami sa miyembro kaya magiinarte pa ba kami? Hindi kami makakasali sa mga event, camps and contests dahil apat lang kami kaya ayos na!" Masiglang dagdag pa ng Isang lalaki

"That's great then" Crest simply said

"I'm Bencher Castillo by the way 3rd year in Class A but you can just call me Bench-

"Or Benjie"

"James shut up- okay, you can just call me Bench, I'm the President of the Music Club and also the vocalist" Introduced by the black haired-mullet guy

"That's Roux De Lavin our 2nd year manager and Cliff De Lavin the guitarist. They're twins" He added while pointing at the dark-brown haired twins.

"And I'm James Guttierez! The drummer" The blonde haired male proudly introduced his self

"Nice to meet all of you" Crest and Zander said in unison.

"Well, bukas pa naman ang official club practice natin so you can go back to your classes for now. See you both!"

They waved their goodbye then exited the room.

I just....need to talk less to them right? since

The change is is already starting
