I got in my car throwing the bag in and slamming the door which causes Arsyn to wake up and shot her head in my direction. "Change of fvcking plans.." that's all I got to say to her, I can't even think straight right now. How can they pop up in the same place as we were? That doesn't really make sense. There are a lot of fvcking places for them to be. I even make sure to pick the place that not many people will go to. And now that we're nearer to our destination there will be a higher possibility that we'll run into each other again. This isn't good. Why do they need to ruin everything for me?
"What are you talking about?" Arsyn asks trying to guess the situation.
"I just saw those nincompoops here and Kaizer Fvcking Muntan grope my boobs!" I clenched my fist as I remember the nerve of that jerk!
"Then, what are you planning to do? Cancel this trip? Go back?" thinking of it, this is one of the best options I had right now. "I know what you're thinking right now. And I'm gonna stop you right there." then she looks at Lonia. I just know what she's gonna say. Lonia's the opposite of me and Arsyn, she's the most sensitive one here. She may not look like it but she's the oldest in us three and still, she's the most innocent one. There's also the fact that she's the biggest crybaby that I know of.
"You know how excited she is for this trip right?" Arsyn's now looking at my eyes.
Then we hear Lonia tossing and look at her. Arsyn smile at me then said, "Don't let them get to you. Do you want them to ruin this trip for us? Do you really want to cancel this trip because of them?" She's right. We only bond once in a while. And I really meant that it's once in a freaking while. I shouldn't let these things get to me. This is our day and we're gonna enjoy this with or better yet without them.
We hear another rustle in the back then "Give me back my pancakes.. asdfghjkl" Arsyn and I look at each other and burst out laughing. Lonia's sleeptalking? Haha, that's Lonia for you.
I'm now calming down because of them. I'm thankful for Arsyn. We had that connection where she already knows what I'm thinking which is why she also knows the words I need to comfort me. As I was about to start the engine I can't help but yawn.
"I had my fair amount of sleep so I guess it's time for you to get yours." Arsyn smiled and we changed seats. But before I can doze off my phone vibrated and shows that I got a text from an unknown number.
From: Unknown number
Don't be happy, be worry.
-
It seems like a magic word because as soon as I read the message I can't help but worry.
To: Unknown number
Fvck you ;)
-
That should do it. Pranks like this shouldn't get to me. I waited for a few minutes for a response but I got nothing. Thinking of it, how could they reply to that? Still, that message makes me feel uncomfortable. That unknown number might know me but maybe it doesn't, right?
"You look bothered? Is there any problem?" I didn't notice that Lonia just wake up.
"Nah, I'm just tired." I smiled at her and settling myself to sleep.
"Wow, sleeping beauty finally woke up," Arsyn smirks toward Lonia. After hearing that Lonia settles to sleep again.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Don't you think it's wrong for sleeping beauty to wake up without a prince?"
"Prince your face. Kends buy some snacks here stuff your face with that."
Then I just hear rustling of plastics before I doze off to sleep.

"Ahhh~!" Lonia exclaimed as she dives on the bed. She insisted that we should take a triple room with three twin beds so that we could have more time with each other. What a drama queen, right?
I lay down beside her and Arsyn sits on the other side. Just when I'm enjoying this comfy bed Lonia got up. "Not because I dove in it means we're just gonna sleep here. It's like 4 pm and the beach sounds like a great place to watch the sunset. So come on and get those bums up!" she tries to push us out from her bed.
"Shush it Lonia, I'm not in the mood." I stretched my body and get comfier telling her she can't drag me anytime soon.
"But!" she stops pushing and getting ready to debate.
"Lonia we're tired so please." I scowled.
"What about we watch a movie and order out some food? Does that sounds good to you?" Arsyn asks Lonia trying to ease the situation.
"Hmm, sounds ok. Ooh and can we order some pancakes/ I dunno but I just crave it for some reason." she seems to confuse about that which makes Arsyn and I laugh.
"Why are you laughing? Stop it you two! You're looking like witches." she pouted and cross her arms. Haha, she really hates missing out so I just pat her head, "Yeah will order some pancakes for our precious baby don't worry." She smiles goofily and hugs me. That's Lonia for you, always wanting to be babied by us.
We just watch a movie then our food arrives and maybe I doze off in the middle of the movie.

"Mine!" Arsyn spike the ball towards my direction which I missed hitting.
"Whoo! Another point for team Arnia!" Lonia cheered.
I swear it really just comes from Narnia. Geez, Lonia. Guess what are we doing?
We're actually playing beach volleyball right now. We were strolling down the beach earlier when Lonia spotted a stall where we could rent a volleyball. So we decided to have fun and by fun means I'm playing against them, fun right? Some people are watching us. Let me rephrase that, boys are gawking at us because let's face it all three of us are 'hot'.
"Wait, timeout!" I yelled panting.
"What about we take a break?" Arsyn said and Lonia started dragging us to a restaurant. "What about we eat first?"
It's true when they say that fun never lasts because a little while later I saw those idiots coming in and settle in a table far away from us. Hope they won't notice us.
"Bro, what took you so long?" Curtis asked Paige who seems to had just woken up from sleep.
"Oh, a girl wants to talk to me."
"Yeah, and you talked like a normal person would" Zeff scoff.
"Hahaha, what can I say? I'm that irresistible."
"Irresistible in insisting." Kaizer retorted then sticks his tongue out.
"Yeah right, I don't need to tell them to persuade them to suck me. They're already throwing themselves at me." and some people at their table just laugh.
I just fisted my hands when I heard that. Don't you really force someone to do something they don't want?

After some swimming and games, we are now resting in the sand with the sea waves as our song. Lonia is hugging me from my side and Arsyn resting her head on my shoulder as we watch the sun sets on the horizon.
Only if everything could be back to normal as it was before. Three young girls having fun with no care in the world. How fun can that be? As I was deep in my thoughts Lonia yawned.
"What a sleepyhead," Arsyn whispers with her eyes closed. I bet she's also tired.
"Funny it should come from you," Lonia said nuzzling in my neck.
"Okay, you guys should go ahead. I'll be right there in a sec." I said to them. We all have busy and tiring days, I guess we all really deserve this break.
I watched their backs as they head off to the hotel. And I can't help but think of why do everything can't go back to the way it was. Maybe because they take too much? Because I can't forget no matter how hard I've tried. I didn't notice that a tear fell. And comes another and another until I'm full-blown crying.
"S-stop.. Stop it! I'm tired of this.." I said to my tears, wiping them off harshly. But no matter what I do they won't stop coming. Why does everything need to be like this?
"Here." I saw a handkerchief and a guy handing it to me. He seems familiar to me for some reason. But I don't recall where I saw him.
He has thick glasses, thick brows, braces, and an uncool hairstyle.
Looking at him makes my heart aches. Is it normal to have an abnormal pulse rate? Am I actually dying? Probably a heart problem. Whatever it is, this doesn't sound good.
"What was that for?" I ask raising a brow trying to look tough. But trust me when I say it's just so hard with these tears falling non-stop.
He just chuckled. Am I that hilarious to look at right now? "For your tears." then he kneeled down and he wipes my tears himself.
"Who are you?" I should freak out right now but I'm just really curious.
"Some people tend to judge me because of what I did wrong. So now, I don't quite know myself." then he took off his jacket and wrap it around me. Which reminds me that I'm only on my bra and shorts.
"Maybe you should take a rest. I know you're tired." he then smiles knowingly and turns his back on me.
"Wait! your--"
"Keep that," he assured me. Then he walks away.
I just stare at him as he got farther away from me. I felt something different from him. They say that if someone who walks away from you looked back, it means that they'll grow closer to you.
I'm still staring at his back while he's slowly fading. But just when I was about to stand up and walk my way. He stops and looks at me. He looked back.
And I cursed.
