I groan, and slowly open my eyes, my vision adjusted as a blur silhouette of a man came into clarity.
"Wake up little dearie, it's your first day of school in college" said by a familiar voice in a whisper tone.
What College?, Wait? Huh? Confusion flash on my brain, as memories rush back.
"Oh yeah, I forgot I just graduated from high school, and had a new life" I mumble as I turn into sitting position on my own queen size bed.
And here in front of me, is one of my dad, who presently grinning while looking on my morning hair , I rub my eyes.
Huh? Wait, dad?. My eyes widened as I jump and hug him.
"Dad!, Your back!" I said as I pull myself. he laugh and softly shake his head on my sudden outburst of being surprise.
"Yes honey, your papa never stop bugging me to surprise you here early in the morning, so he could show you how supportive we are in your first day of college" dad, said playfully as he stand from my bed and roam his eyes around my room.
"Nice, house dearie" dad added as he look at me and smiled.
"Yes, dad, well it is expected from having a great engineer and House designer friend to choose me this penthouse" I chuckled as I recall how excited my two best of friend to choose my own penthouse, after I tell them I'll get one as soon as college come.
"Uhuh, I see" dad answered, as we hear a knock on my bedroom door. Both our head snap at the door's direction and A head pop up , as it smile after seeing me, awake.
"Hi sweetie" papa said, as my expression took surprise, really? Papa and dada are really here!, oh how so sweet to have both of them on my first day in college.
"Papa!" I stand and run to him, pulling him in one of the most tightest hug I could possibly give.
"Ok, honey, I can't breathe" I release him and kiss his cheek. As he continue laughing. While I giggle.
"Well, I guess its time dearie, time for you to prepare your things and fix up the materials you need in school" dad said as he put his arm on my papas shoulder.
"Good luck dearie" he added and kiss my cheek.
"Yeah, I guess I only have 45 mins so ahm, see ya later dad, pa, after school, I'll just ring you out ok?, I love you both" I said hugging both of them as I skip to my bathroom, doing my business And preparing myself to my new unfold college life.

Finally, this is it my college life has finally began, don't get me wrong, I might have been this excited pursuing the course that I'm into since high school, which is medicine, to become a doctor. The reason why I keep on reading tons of books to gain more knowledge, and avoid partying and fooling around.
And your wrong if you think my high school year is so boring, because I have the best adventure I can get, having those two , who I call best friends.
They are pretty popular back then in our senior year, maybe it's because of their family status, or the fact that those two are both captains for school sports of Volley ball, and basketball who are well known not only in our school but the whole city also.
I am now walking on the school hallway to know my schedule, observing People around me. when a sudden ball of basketball are being thrown in my direction and now aiming for my head!.
I panick, it's too late to dodge, base on its speed!!!. I shut my eyes.
In time!. It's so close!!, I thought,
my face still in shock as I now holding the ball between my hands near my face , I stopped it before it landed.
What a sort of luck, I roll my eyes. I turn around to look for the owner of the ball.
"Heyah, cowboy" said Peter while laughing.
Great!
"Nice catch!, You really have some moves in you, Kathie," he added, while patting my shoulder and doing his best to suppress his laughter.
"Very funny, Peter" I countered back " you know what?, You almost beheaded me using your ball, if this is a sharp spear in no time you might kill me!" I said in almost shout having my stern look.
"Come on, princess, it's not like I'll do it if I know that it might actually hit you , or hurt you" he said while wiggling his eyebrows and look at me grinning while we continue walking.
I deep sigh " yeah, thank you for waking me up by surprising a ball throw, in my very first day at early morning Peter. really you do me some favor" I said sarcastically.
Yes, he's one of my best friend' but it doesn't mean he have to kill me by surprise on throwing a ball while we were in the hallway!! he's crazy.
Sure enough student are eyeing us. I don't know if it's because of the scene we made or because this little pimp on my left are pretty awesome, tsk.
don't get me wrong, I love my best friends. but sometimes I disowned them. Just a little, when being hype in having such kind of prank or surprises.
***
We are now in the hallway intersection, saying our goodbye as we both separated for our own respective class after getting our schedules for the semester.
Peter, got civil engineer course. So we both see each other on lunch if lucky and if we planned for day bonding with Nancy my other best friend.
This time we have to endure being separate with each other, as we pursue our dream.
Nervously, I enter my room assigned for my first subject. I sat in near front on the middle seat, so I can focus and avoid distraction while class discussion later.
I still have 5 minutes before the scheduled time, and half of the students are already in. Huh, other might be late, a crowd hallway, and the whole finding room scene I thought .
"Well, might as well text Nancy" I mumble as I got my phone and type some words.
To : Nancy
Hey, Nance, see yah at lunch, can't wait to have time with you two later. Text me back. I haven't see you, but Peter is. Good luck.
From: Kathie
I press send, in time as the professor came in. And introduce himself as Mr. Watson. The guy is funny, and have some humor. He started teaching by introducing some technology that are recently invented in medicine, down to some people know in field. To some trivia. All in all, his class is entertaining. I can feel that this man has passion on teaching.
----
Hours after hours, until lunch came, and almost half of my course subject have I already attended. So far,it makes me more excited. They're all great for me.
Well, if you ask me , I'm really not a bubbly kind of person, only to those people I love and been known for a long time. Others thought I am weird for being quiet and having my own world, some think I'm a cold b***h. But they are wrong I have nothing to explain though.
I'm not some Psycho, or some crazy freak, Maybe I just love the peace and simplicity aura that surround me.
Though, many of the students, actually know me for being a champion nationally in taking taekwondo. So I just let them be. Their words didn't hurt me.
I was now in sophisticated canteen. As I stare in nowhere, and let the memories trail on my mind.
Those memories that I buried, but deep within my heart are the reason that I choose this path. Some day, I have to leave my dad's, and find them. because I promise upon my parents death. Those painful moments, that keep me set on pursuing my goal.
Someday, I will.
"Hey," someone put a hand on my shoulder as it snap me from my trailing, I turn to see a smiling Nancy.
Grin appear in my face, as I hug her
" hey, how are you, and your class? I have missed you" I said as I stare at her, and pull myself. Well, maybe I had a little crush in this lady infront of me. Who wouldn't be. Having those mesmerizing green eyes, beautiful smile, wavy hair, slender and tone body, a hot one. Yes she is. I grin even.
"Hey stop, you look like a creep Kathie, stop grinning like that" she said and giggle.
I furrow, and act like it hurt me
"My two girls!!," a sudden Peter said as he walk run and both hug us, well, is it weird that we are group hugging each other in a canteen full of students and are now crowded? Well, nope!, Of course not, at least not for us.
"Now the three i***t are complete", I mumble as we all giggle. And reach for a table to start our little lunch.
We are having our own fun, when we are together. It's some sort of normal, since we've been friend when I was 14, and now I am 21. While, Peter age is 22 and, Nancy is 20,. Long years? Oh yeah you have no idea, of what we've done in our old golden days as a teenager.
