"What's wrong with walking with my barefeet?" I asked to no one in particular.
I stared back at the people who's looking at me with some weird expression on their faces.
"These people are so close minded. They should live a little." I said as I shrugged and kept walking on the grass not minding those looks that they are throwing at me.
With my shoes in my hand I stopped walking, closed my eyes took a deep breath and savoured the sun kissing my skin.
It is a new day and I just wanted to start it with the thing that can make me happy. Mother nature.
Ever since I can remember I always wanted to be out on nature exploring and loving the feeling I get when I'm surrounded by the beauty of it. The feeling of the grass in my skin makes me calm and even breathing the smell of flowers, trees, grass and even soil just makes me happy.
I know that I may look really weird right now for the other people who are also here in the park, seeing a girl walking barefooted. They might even think that I'm crazy but I don't care. This brings me joy and that's all that matters.
I decided to spend my free time here in the park to brace myself for the stress that I'm gonna get for the next days or should I say semester. Because it'll be a battle. This would be my last semester until I graduate from College.
I shook my head. I should stop thinking about it for now, I'm here to relax and calm my nerves for a bit before I go back to reality.
I sighed and placed a smile on my face and walked towards the ice cream vendor under the big old tree.
"Hi!" I chirpped as I approached the ice cream seller.
"Good morning ma'am!" He answered back cheerfully. I smiled at him.
"What are the available flavors?" I asked
"We have mango, chocolate and strawberry flavor ma'am."
"Ahmm.. okay I'll have one of each please."
He nods and get to it. He handed me the ice cream in a cone and after paying him I decided to seat on one of the benches. I placed my shoes just beside my feet and enjoyed the ice cream while looking at the people who are busy walking to their work.
My phone suddenly rang and I fished it out from my bag. It was my best friend Alex calling.
"Hello?"
"Hello your face! Where are you Zel? Why aren't you replying to my text messages?" He snapped from the other line.
I pulled my phone away from my ear and checked the notification bar and saw that he had indeed texted me 11 times.
"My bad, my phone is in my bag." I said sheepishly as I finished what's left on my ice cream.
I can imagine him rolling his eyes from my excuse.
"Ugh. Whatever. Where are you now? I went to pick you up in your dorm but you already left." He still sound annoyed a little.
"Ohh how sweet of you Alex, but I went to the park and ate some ice cream." I simply answered.
"And let me guess walking with barefeet again?" I swear I can see him rolling his eyes again.
I just chuckled as a reply. He knew me too well.
"I knew it! Alright, just get your ass here in the Uni now you're gonna be late." He scolded me like he always do.
"Okay MOM. I'll be on my way." I teased.
"Whatever Zel, take care, love you." He chuckled.
"Love you." I answered back with a smile.
We ended the call and I wore back my shoes and hurried to the Uni. It's just a 5 minute walk from the park so I reached the Uni in no time.
As I walk through the hallway all I hear is the people chitchatting.
I let out a sigh.
This is what I don't like in school. Especially if it's the first day of another semester. The hallways would be full of students who seems like they haven't seen each other for a year. But all I know they are just talking about where did they spent their vacation, what brand new designer bags and dresses they are wearing and of course the never ending gossips.
I shaked my head and tried not to get annoyed at my surroundings and walked my may to the bulletin board. I searched for my name on the Nursing Department. I had a bit of difficulty finding it because there are still some student blocking my way so I just waited for them to finished finding their names too and when they are done I took a step forward and searched for mine.
I grabbed for my notebook and pen when I found my name and wrote my class schedules, it's better to have a copy immediately just in case.
While writing, some girls who's standing not far from me started gossiping again and I unintentionally listened to their conversation.
"Did you know, that there's two new transferries here in the Uni? And guess what? They are drop dead gorgeous!"
"Really!? OMG. I can't wait to see them!"
"Oh I already saw them. And yeah. They are so hot!!"
"But I thought that there's three of them?"
"That's what they said, but I only saw the two of the hottest guys I've ever seen in my entire life, earlier."
Ughh. That's too much exaggeration.
Shaking my head I stopped listening to their conversation and focused on writing my schedule.
It was just another unnecesary gossip. I thought it might be something useful.
I mean it's just about guys. What can they gain from that?
Handsome? Hot guy?
What's new?
We already have a lot of good looking guys in this University, what's the difference does it make?
I don't want to sound so feminist and a man hater but it is just annoying to hear that everytime from these Barbie girls.
After I'm done I just decided to go to my first class.
I was checking my phone when suddenly someone bite my shoulder.
"Owww!!! " I cried out.
I turned around to look who's the culprit that bit me and was about to give him or her a piece of my mind but then I stop. I send a death glare when I knew who it was. "Would you please stop doing that!" I said to him completely annoyed. I rub my shoulder to the part where he bit me. Oww it hurts. I swear to God this ass will pay for this. He just grinned in return. He suddenly pulled me for a hug. "I miss you bae!" He chirpped while hugging me like nothing happened . I rolled my eyes. But I hugged him back in return. "Okay. I miss you too." I answered back but still annoyed at him. I'll get back to you later, I promise. Hah. I pull out from his hug and throw him daggers thru my eyes. "You know there's a payback on what you just di
"Syrzzel Rose Maravilla! Wake up!" As if there's a spring attached on my back I jump from my bed and harshly looked on the alarm clock at my bedside table. 7:00 am "Shoot!" I panicked and hurriedly get out of my bed. Oh no... I'm gonna be late for sure! "Why didn't you wake me up Juls?" I asked my roommate who's now picking her bag and was about to get out of the door. She's all ready to go. "What do you mean I didn't? I kept on waking you up but you seemed to enjoy your dreams too much." she said shaking her head. I didn't listen to all her rants anymore and just ran towards the bathroom. I took a bath and did my morning rituals for just a few minutes and went out of the bathroom. I hurriedly changed into something decent because I'm running out of time I just chose to wear a denim high waist skinnee jeans that has a ripped on the knee part and a simple white semi crop top shirt. I partnered it with a simple white sneakers. I looked at myself on the mirror. My cheeks has a n
One week had passed since the semester started and since I'm in my fourth year in college my student life will go crazy again. Oh,God help me. It's almost night time but I still have one class for today. Since I still have an hour of free time I decided to grab something to eat in the cafeteria because I already feel tired for all I did today and also I am famished. I ordered food and took a seat on an empty able. I plugged my earphone on ny ears and listened to some calming music as I eat my food. But while eating I felt something weird in ny stomach, that feeling when you know someone is staring at you. I looked around inside the cafeteria to know who is it. And my eyes landed on the three guys sitting from the table not too far away from me. And they are all looking at...me. They looked familiar---- Oh right. Those two gu
I look around in the campus ground. Where is he? "Hey Syrzzel!" I turned to look at who called for me. "Thank goodness, there you are." I sighed "Sorry. I have to accompany my girlfriend to her class, you know." He grinned. "Being the sweet boyfriend act huh." I chuckled. Bryle is my classmate on one of my subjects. And we are partners for our lab. We decided to meet up today for our project. We're now on our way to the laboratory and discussing about the things that needed to be done ffor our project. I tuck my hair under my ear and I absentmindedly turn my head on my left side. Suddenly my heart is beating faster than it's normal rate. There he is again. W
"Penny for your thoughts?"I turned to Alex."Nothing."I can't tell him the reason why I am acting like this right now.Why does that guy has some effect on me? He won't leave my mind. After what happened last night he just left me there more confused than ever."Stop spacing out bae, you look like an idiot."I glared at him."You are such a good friend." I said with sarcasm.He just rolled his eyes at me. He then take a sit beside me."You know what we should just stalk those three transferies." He said excitedly."You mean Kurt, Drake and.. and.. Reniuexo?"He quickly faced me."How did you know their names? I thought you don't have time for boys? Hmm?" He asked with one eyebrow raised."They introduce themselves at me." I said defensively.He smiled teasingly."Ohhh.. my bae is starting to----""Shut up."He just laughed and scooted more at my side and wrapped his arm on my shoulders."Let's know them more."I didn't answer to stop him from teasing."Let's start with Kurt."Kurt Hi
"What.the.hell.just.happened?"I didn't answer Alex nor looked at him. I'm just staring at Reniuexo's retreating back.I can't move, I don't even think if I'm still breathing.Did he really said that? Can someone pinch me right now."He just said he likes you."I turned to him." Did I just heard it right?""I think? That's what I heard too."We looked like someone who just took a bath with a bucket full of ice.I am really shocked and confused right now."Damn. He even thought I'm your boyfriend. Gross." He said in disgust.I rolled my eyes at him. He really is the queen of exaggeration."Why did he said thay? Why did he like me?" I ask him confused as if he can answer my question."You tell me. Ma
SYRZZEL ROSE'S POVI heaved out a sigh as I kept on staring at the ceiling.What have I done?Why am I feeling this way?It feels like I did something very wrong.My mind keeps playing on what happened between me and Reniuexo. I really didn't intend to act like that earlier, it was just because of all the frustrations that have built up inside me, and what happened earlier was the trigger that made me lose it. I was just shocked, confused and perhaps tired. I know deep inside me I didn't meant all of those words that left my mouth.When I saw his reaction while I was saying those things I honestly don't know what to feel. And when he was walking away from me all I wanted to do was to run towards him and make him stop from going anywhere. Which made me more confused now than ever."
SYRZZEL ROSE'S POV"Syrzzel is it okay if I'll go ahead first?"I turned around to look at Ann."Of course, no problem. I'll just finish this up then I'm off to go too.""Alright. Take care, okay?""Thanks. You too." I nodded my head and smiled at her.She left the room and I turned my focuse back to the computer. I fasten my pace to get my work done quicker.Two weeks have passed since I started my internship here in the hospital. And I'm already familiar with half of my colleagues here and has a good relationship with all of them.After I'm done with my computer works I went to the locker room to get my bag and to the bathroom to change my uniform into some comfortable clothes because I still have a birthd
