UNWAVERING HEART OF LUNA

First Day

*** Meanwhile ***

"Jane! Jane!" A familiar voice said and top my shoulders to wake me up.

I open my eyes and look at my mother and she was smiling genuinely at me.

My name is Caila Jane Smith and I'm the only best friend Aiyah had.

"It's time for school darling" my mother said warmly.

I pick up my phone and check the time.

It's was 6:30 in the morning and our class start at 8 so I still have time to get ready.

Mom went down to the kitchen to cook breakfast and I got up on my bed to take a shower.

Only me and mom live in this house. If you are asking where is my father?

He is gone, he is not dead, he is one of those fathers that choose to live with his mistress than live with their own family.

I dont hate my father that much, It just I don't really care about him.

I worry more about my mother.

Is she really accepted the fact that father was gone and he will never come back again?

I only told Aiyah that my father was already gone or dead even though in fact he was living with someone else.

I know Aiyah would understand even if she found out that I lied about my father.

She was the type of person that well understand and accept you for who you are and what you are.

After I take a bath, I wear my under garments and scan my body in the mirror.

I caressed the scar on my side, it was a small cut but it was quite deep. I don't even remember much about what happened 3 years ago but all I could remember was Aiyah saving my life. I don't know if I was dreaming that time but Aiyah was caressing me while she run so fast that I couldn't even see our surrounding.

I remember that my ex stabbed me and after I lost so much blood I remember that Aiyah screamed in pain and after that I collapsed. When my eyes opened again I was in the hospital together with my best friend sleeping in the other bed next to me.

Even though Aiyah was a mysterious girl, I still trust her and even love her and treated her just like my own sister.

"CAILA JANE!" my mom shouted downstairs.

"COMING!" I shouted back at my mom.

I heard mom's laugh as she heard me shout at her back.

"Tsk!" Mom is a jolly one.

I stop my reminiscing and just wear my uniform and shoes. I pick up my bag and go downstairs to eat my breakfast.

It was 7 in the morning and I still have 1 hour before our class start.

I just sit down and eat my breakfast silently.

After I finish eating, I retouch my self and just texted Aiyah that I'm on my way to her boarding house.

She just reply ok and I just smiled.

*** Aiyah Point of View ***

*** Flashback

I woke up this morning feeling so tired and not in the mood.

I've dream that I saw a man with red eye and he corner me to the wall and even kiss me.

"Tsk! Tsk!! What am I thinking lately to have a dream like that?"

"I just saw a vampire in my dream?"

"Or is he wolf?"

"In my dream he sniff my neck like trying to familiarized it."

"My dreams felt so real!"

Tsk! I must be crazy talking to my own self.

"Vampire?"

"Wolf?"

"Tsk! It just a myth or imagination of a human kind."

"It will never be true because wolf and vampire doesn't really exist.

I sermon on my self."

"Zen! Zenn! Zeennn!" someone shouted at my face.

I look at her sharply and she just smile and sign peace.

"Don't call me like that! I said without emotion."

"But sissy your name was quite beautiful and it suits you" my best friend complain while pouting.

"Just call me by my new name and nothing else" I told her.

"Hmmm" she exclaim while pouting again.

"Let's just continue our work."

"Tomorrow will be our first day of school" I reminded her and she just smiled at me and nodded.

Today was Sunday and we only work half days that is why we must finish our works before noon to excuse our selves and ask our boss that we will out early because we have some important things to do.

We apply part time job at the fast food restaurant to at least sustain our other needs especially in school and especially for me.

We still need to buy our school supplies and we still need to pick up our uniform in our new school today.

Tomorrow was the first day and the University required all the students to wear the school uniforms.

We are not exempted even though we are transferee.

They were very strict when it comes on clothing.

Hayden University was school of all riches, and also it was quite hidden because it was located in some forest place that only the students of H. U. have the permission to know.

One of the rules of school that we should obey is we shouldn't let other people know.

It was quite popular but also it was quite mysterious.

If your poor then you must have a brain.

You need to pass their entrance exam to become one of HU students or Hayden University students. As long as you pass their entrance exam they will pay your tuition and even your food at their cafeteria.

You will be one of those lucky person to have a scholarship in Hayden University.

We don't know about the school but as we have heard all of the HU graduates became professional and they even have an advantages whenever they apply for work position.

Hayden University was quite a famous school in the Philippines and it was a great privileged to become one of their students.

All we have to do was to study and don't interfere in other businesses.

Just like I said Hayden University was school of all richest so it means it was school of all brats and spoiled and even bullies.

I don't know if gang was also allowed in their school but I hope not.

Time flies and we already here at the Super Market, our boss didn't complain about our early out because first of all he was my boy best friend and he also understand that we need to buy some stuff that we need in school.

We are now currently a 4th year college this opening and one step to go and we will be in the next level of our life.

My parents died 5 years ago due to an accident that happen. The police investigated the incident but they still couldn't figure out what really happen and who was behind of it.

That's why I become independent at young age and applied for work to provide my needs in financial and other stuff including my foods and my house rentals. Caila was rich but she doesn't want to leave me that's why when her mother decided to transfer her in Hayden University, she also convince me to transfer there.

She even apply to where I work just to be with me.

But her reason as always was to have an experience when it comes on working, but little did she know that I know what she was plotting secretly behind my back.

She keeps on talking about saving her money, that's how I found out that she was transferring her money unto my bank account.

In H. U. she told me that it was her dream to study their together with me.

At first she wanted to pay for my tuition fees but I told her that I can handle it on my own.

Because she was my only best friend, I don't also want her to be out of my sight.

She was so clumsy and troublemaker that's why whenever where I go she always follow me and this is my first time I follow her and I hope I won't regret it.

We were friends since we are 1st year college.

I studied in the public school and she was a transferee.

I don't actually know who was my classmates back then and I don't give a damn about who are they and where are they came from.

I only want my life to be peaceful as possible.

I don't want someone bothering me nor I don't want someone to be friends with me.

Most of the public schools were far from private schools.

Bullying is not allowed in public schools because all of the students were fair in the eyes of every school teacher.

I rather study in public school than private schools.

In private schools money runs everything.

If you don't have money then you are just nobody to them, they will put you down and even they well mess your life.

Just like what I said Caila was the only best friend I have and I don't want her to get hurt just like what happen 3 years ago when we were in 1st year college.

She was bullied and even she was about to rape by the one who bullied her.

Even though she was studying in public school, she was quite often bullied by the other students that studying in private schools.

Her ex was one of the bully and he was the one that was about to rape my best friend.

He was obsessed with her.

That he even come to our school just to see her.

It's good thing that I called her and someone pick up her phone telling me that he was with her boyfriend but as far as I know they broke up, and I just ask where and the stranger just told me.

After that incidents I don't really remember what happens but base on what my best friend remember, I save her life and that is the reason we became very close to each other.

I don't really know how I save my best friend when I was only 18 years old that time.

When ever I ask her about what happen that time she only excuses that she don't want to remember it because it was traumatizing.

I can see that she was truelly traumatized but I can felt that something weird happen that day.

Caila knows me well even though I don't react nor I don't give a damn, she knows my action towards her.

She knows that I care for her more than I care for my self.
