"So when I'm all choked up. But I can't find the words. Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts. When the sun goes down And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way"
-Always Remember Us This Way by Lady Gaga
I wake up because of a very loud sound coming from my alarm clock. Ohh I hate mornings but I need to get up early to go to school. I'm not a student I'm a teacher. My name is Celine a primary school teacher. Staring at the ceiling of my room thinking on how I will spend my day again. My life is just usual there is nothing to tell about. A very boring one. One thing is for sure I'm strong to go on. To fight once more. I need to take a cold shower before I remember everything again.
Before I go to the bathroom, I look at the door on my left. That room is full of sad things to see. It's been five years since the last time I step inside that room. I take a deep breath and close my eyes. I went to the bathroom trying to calm my mind. After I shower I dress up and not bothering to get breakfast I don't feel eating again.
I drove to the school that I'm teaching. One of my students greets me.
"Good morning Teacher Celine," Karl said with a very bright smile in his face. Karl is one of the cutest students that I'm teaching a little chubby and a very smart kid.
" Good morning Karl"I greeted and I smiled back at him.
My day went on. I go home at 5 in the afternoon.
I am tired so I decided to take a nap when my stomach woke me up. I went to the kitchen when I saw that I don't have any food stocks left just water. I just want to go back to sleep but my tummy won't let me. There is a near grocery store in my apartment so I decided to buy some food stocks in my lonely house.
Looking at the thing that I need to buy. When suddenly someone called my name.
"Celine?"
I froze. I don't want to look at the man who called me. I know him.
"Celine, It's you" another man's voice.
" Celine, we are not ghost don't be afraid" a very serious voice from another one.
I turn around slowly why I will be afraid of them I did not do anything wrong to them.
because there are the ones who witness your craziness over that guy. The voice inside my head.
I smiled to them.
"Oh, hi! " In a very awkward tone.
I think they notice that I'm uncomfortable.
"Celine, How are you? It's been five years" The man who called my name a while ago is Clyde.
"I' m good, really good" I respond
"You look great Celine" Saying it to me with a smile. It's Alex.
"Thank You" I smiled back.
"You look shook a while ago. Don't worry we're not going to eat you" Ron said, still in a very serious tone.
"No, I'm just startled a little" I said shyly.
Clyde, Alex, and Ron are his best friends. They know my history.
It's been five years since I last saw them at my wedding. They are the ones who told me that his not going to show up.
"Celine, ah can I get your number? " Clyde suddenly asked me. I don't know what to say. I can't think of anything at the moment so I just give it to him.
" Thank you, Celine, Please promise us that there will no hide and seek again. " Clyde smiled at me sadly.
"Yeah Celine Please" Alex agreed.
"We need to go now. " Ron said grumpily.
"Okay Celine, See you again" Alex said and they walk away.
I can't believe that I'm going to see them again.
