"DO YOU want me to order some foods?" Maria asked me.
Marinella Sofia Valdez is my bestfriend.We're both 20 and we both go to the same school.Graduating from a medical course.But,I don't think we can work that anymore because of our future compulsory work.
Sucks right?
"Go, I want pizza, burger and frappe."I answered and continued answering our homework.
We are here in my room, answering our homework given by our subject teacher.
"Coming right up!" Maria shouted after she ordered.She sat down next to me again and then continued what she was doing.
We both waited for a few minutes until the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." I presented then stood up.
I adjusted my clothes and hair then I left the room.I don't have a second floor, I only have one floor but the two people are big and accurate.
There is a large bedroom and a small bedroom.Each bedroom has its own bathroom, then a medium size kitchen and living room.
"Here's your food, Ma'am!" The delivery guy said kindly to me.
"How much?" I asked then took my wallet out of my pocket.
"537 Ma'am!" I reached for the payment then took our food.
A box of 12 slices pizza and two frappes.That's Chocolate and Strawberry.There is also a big cup of fries and two burgers.
I walked back to the room then laid the food in front of Maria..Only on the floor because we were doing our homework.
"Hey, thank you! I'm really hungry!" She said then immediately bit his burger.I just laughed at him then bit my burger.
We continued to answer our homework while eating.After ten minutes we finished that too.
"Can I sleep here today?" Maria asked as she put away her belongings scattered on the floor.
"It's up to you."I answered while also putting my hand away.
I took my frappe and pizza then sat on the bed.I put the pizza down there while I was just holding the frappe.
Maria sat down in front of me then ate again .. "I have a question .." She said after swallowing.
"Hmm?"
"Are you excited for our training next week?" She asked so I stopped eating.
I put down the pizza I was eating and then sipped on my frappe first. "Maybe yes,maybe not."I answered.
"Huh? Why?" She asked.
"I am excited about the training but not of our future life there."I said then continued eating.
She nodded."Same, I am like that too.But, we also have no choice." She said.
She's right,we have no choice.We are both children of a high ranking agent.Life there is dangerous and death seems to be chasing you because at any time you can be hit by an arrow, a bullet and a knife.
We are their heirs, so we can do nothing.
My sister and brother are dead, they were killed so I also did not refuse the position that will be awarded to us when we graduate.
Our rehearsal will start next week, on Monday.Every time we go home we will have rehearsals.The school is also said to be over so we can practice.
"Though, do you think..We can handle it?"She asked.
I rolled my eyes. "Of course, duh.It's on our blood,Marinella Sofia." I teased.
"Whatever, Carmella Vegas!"She teased back and we both laughed.
We continued talking about things until she thought of going home to get her things.Because she will sleep here.
When she left,I put away our clutter and then I sweep and drank cold water.I am alone here, so sometimes Maria sleeps here.
My parents are gone since I was a kid .My sister and brother non supported me but they also died when I was seventeen.
Since then, I started living alone.I cried for a month but I got up right away and got used to living and living alone.
Though, my bestfriend is there.
Maria does not leave me no matter what happens.When I need help,she will help me..And so do I.
I don't have a problem with money and accommodation because I bought last month and the apartment I am staying in now.
I also have two bank accounts and I can save because my aunt and uncle send me a monthly allowance.
Maria's uncle and dad are currently in our position while we are not ready.There is only one company where our family works so Maria and I are close.
In fact, I am nervous about the life or path we will enter.It's scary because there, it's like you're hiding from death and you're the one chasing after your life.
Great, right?!
I sighed then sat on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV while waiting for Maria.
I watched a movie and I was in the middle of when she arrived.I stood up then took the bag he was carrying.
"Thanks, girl!"She said.
"Welcome .."I replied then put her belongings in the guest room.
She always sleep there whens he thought of spending the night here.She also cooked our dinner and I continued the show I was watching.
After a while,I finished what I was watching and Maria came out of the kitchen just in time.
She invited me to eat and I followed.She cooked our favorite pork porridge and mixed orange juice.
When she spends the night here,she always presents to cook our dinner.Then I'll just wash and cook breakfast.
After eating,she took a straight bath and I washed the dishes.Then I went straight to my room and took a shower.
I wore my pajamas and then cleaned my face.Then I lay down on my bed.
Maria peeked into my room and said goodnight.
Then I closed my eyes and thought about things until the darkness swallowed me up.
