Rebirth

Reminiscing 2

My heels are killing me.

After the event, I went to my classroom to temporarily take off my three inches black shoes.

I am the only person in the room since my classmates were busy taking pictures with their family and friends. Also, I don't want my guardians to nag me about getting medicine as a degree in college and witness them bragging about my achievements so I immediately went to this place.

I need to breathe.

This past few days, I felt exhausted from completing my requirements for graduation since we need to make one portfolio for every subjects and each contains lessons from first period to the last. Our homeroom adviser only announced it three weeks before the rights that's why we had left no choice but to spent late nights to make the compilations.

"Amanda"

A soft voice uttered my name. I look to the doorway to see a small petite woman standing while clutching her chest.

It's Bree one of my friend. She is from a rich family yet kind-hearted unlike those wealthy brats who like to degrade scholars like me.

"Hmmmm" I hummed.

She was panting real hard while holding her chest with her right hand. Apparently, the room was one more floor to the rooftop and five floors from the ground floor so it was really hard climbing if we used the stairs and not the elevator.

"Ahhhhhh You're so fast. I was about to approach you but I forgot you have long legs so I lost sight" said Bree without taking a breathe. She looks like a mom who is scoldings her rebellious child. I looked at her with weird face.

"Anyway...."

I flinched.

She was walking towards me with serious face while both her hands are in her back. She was holding something but I could not see. Our eyes were locked from each other and I felt a little bit of uneasiness maintaining.

"Why?" I asked.

She didn't respond in words but instead she smiles widely. She continues to walk until she is now in my side holding something and grinning.

"You know what, Amanda? I am very thankful that I found a friend like you" she said while still smiling widely.

"Ummmm. O-okay! but how many times-----"

"Shhhhhhh. Let me finish!"

Did she just cut me off?

I was weirdly looking at her while sitting in my chair. Her eyes are glittering as she continues to speak with joy.

"You're the one who gives me hope and help me build my confidence. I am the me now because of you. "

Back when I was a freshman, I met Bree in a corner of the school library reading a book about art and music. She was alone in a table with a capacity of eight sitters all in all. When I first saw her, it was easy to conclude that she is an introvert. I also thought she was one of the campus scholar so I approached her to make friends not knowing she will be the future owner of some famous fast-food chains in the country. At first, she was very hesitant to allow me to sit in her front but after a couple of minutes, she nodded with a smile.

So cute.

After that, it took me roughly two months to be her friend even though we became book partners. I was really shocked when I learnt about her status. Like ... did I just befriended a high-class individual? How?

"Hello, Earth to Amanda. Are you listening? Should I continue?" said Bree while pouting.

"Um,Yeah?"

"Hmmmmpppp. I know you hate long speeches soooo...."

"HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEE, MY GIFT!!!!!"

She then gave me a medium sized box with a blue ribbons.

I look at her with a questioning face. She just nod like she is giving me the assurance that it's mine.

I open it and see two books and another small box.

"Open it faster"

The small box contains a necklace with a star pendant and an engraved word.

'ευτυχία'

"Hey Bree, What do you mean by---"

*Iphone ringtone*

It is from Bree's phone. She took it out and read the message.

"Sorry, Amanda. I need to go. My mother is searching for me. I just sneak out to give you my present.Bye byeeeee Lovelots *kiss*" and she leaves.

Damn! How carefree. I didn't even got a chance to thanks her.

I glance at the gifts. I just noticed that the books have unusual front while the necklace looks so expensive since it is covered with gold.

"So pretty----"

*Ringing bell*

Wait, it's already five? How come?

"I think I should go too"

I wear my shoes again and head to the doorway. I like walking near the railings so I did it while roaming my gaze at the whole campus. The whole area is so huge so it will take me a minutes just to travel in the nearby elevator.

"This might be the last time you will see the school so enjoy"

I was about to look at my right side to see who's talking when I felt my body falling in to the ground.

Eh? No way. Am I going to die?

My heart beats fast. I felt my nerve shut.

I manage to look above just to saw a woman smiling while starring at me.

Why?
