First day of the school years was very hard for Ella to adjust because all her friends is not on the same class with her and it pissing her off.
She sigh as she enter her new room as she look over the class, she saw a bunch of unknown students she's unfamiliar with. This school year gonna be hell for her.
She shook her thoughts and head in the last row chairs and she sit at the middle part. Better be this way.
On the other hand, in front of Ella's where she's sitting, there was a girl with a poker face sketching something in the back of her notebook. She loves making art and it make her at peace, not minding the room noisy chattering. She smiled, satisfaction written all over her face as she look at her masterpiece.
"Damn, im improving. Aren't I?" She talk herself as she add shadows in her masterpiece. "Hell, I can make a living with this arts." But suddenly she remember her family, bitterness spread all over her body as she close her eyes tightly and shook her head. "Think happy thoughts, Bee. Don't let them.... Ugh!" She hold and grip her hair tightly as she convincing herself to stay calm. She don't want to make a fuss inside the classroom that's too embarrassing as hell!
Earphone plug in, listening to nightcore music and reading a novel is jhan's doing while waiting for the class to end. She know that she just enter this room a while ago but she want to get out of here as soon as possible and run through her friends classroom, it's suffocating her knowing that all of her classmate is a piece of shit. Sitting at the back row isle part last chair, she sit like a boss not minding she wears a skirt. The hell I care, im not wearing a sexy panties underneath anyway.
If her father saw her sitting like this, she's probably flinching right now while her father keeps beating her with a metal pipe. She close her eyes and massage her temples. "Haist, what am I thinking. Don't think of that right now, Mj." She said herself and comb her hair using her left hand.
"1+1=2 2+2=4 4+4=8 8+8=16" She always do this when she wants to distract her mind and make her peace. She know is sounds childish and bumb but it actually works for her. "16+16=32 32+32=64 64+64=…" she open her eyes and touch her chin. "64+64=—"
"124." Ella answer the addition as she yawned. She's sleepy.
"?" Jhan look at the girl who answer her addition and leave a puzzle look at her. So, she's listening to me from the start. What a weird person. She said in thoughts. "Well, 124 it is—"
"Its 128." Ansus said as she look back and make eye to eye contact with jhan. "64+64=128." She turn her head once again and continue her work.
Hearing those words, Ella's suddenly felt alive and look at the girl in front of her. "My bad, its 128." She said and giggle sweetly. She doesn't feel sleepy now because of embarrassment, she just answer an addition with a wrong answer that's get rid of her sleepiness. How embarassing.
Jhan felt laughing so she did. That's awkward for the lady who're red as a tomato. She shrugged off and look at the girl beside her but not literally beside her because of a chair gaps.
"Hi, I'm Jhan Zata. May I know your name, ms, 124?" She smile. Well, that was rude but this is her communication style.
The girl in front of her flinch and she notice it. Looks like this gal has the same vibes as her.
The girl who she preferring to look at her while raising her brows at her, cool.
"I'm Ella Trafalgar. Nice to meet you ms, not know the right answer." Ella said with a smug face.
Jhan smirked, this gal looks interesting and so the other one.
"Aren't you introducing yourself, mr, I got the right answer?"
Yeah, she's enjoying herself well. She even can't do this to her friends way back then. This is the first time she show her true self with a total stranger and it felt good. No judgments, just pure insult with each other.
"Just call me Ansus." The girl said and face herself backward so she can see clearly the girls who caught her attention. "Nice addition, by the way." She said and smile genuinely.
"Thanks." Jhan said and smiled back.
"Aren't you two felt bored?" Ella cut their conversation and the two of them look at her with a confused emotion plastered on their faces.
"Well, kinda." Jhan said. Honestly, she wants to get out of here and looks like she's going with companion this time.
"Wanna cut class?" Ansus asked them.
"I don't mind though, I'm in." Jhan immediately said and fix her bag. Ready for their departure.
Ella frown at them. It's their first day of school yet they're planning to cut class?
"You two wana cut class?" Ella ask. "Do you two know what might happen to us if our parents knew that we cut class on the first day of school?" Ella said and look at them seriously.
"I see, a very obedient daughter. They raise you well, I may say." Ansus said and smirk. She grab all her art materials and put it in her bag. "It's fine if you don't wanna cuy class with us. Then, we're leavi—"
"Who said I won't come?" Ella's immediately cut Ansus words and grab her bag too. "Let's go before our teachers arrive." Ella said and hold their both wrist and drag them outside of the room.
They're just laugh and start heading toward the main gate on the campus.
"So, where are we going?" Ansus said while tying her hair up.
"I dunno either." Jhan just shrugged and look at Ella who has a blank expression in her face.
"What's with the face? You look bothered. Is there something wrong?" Jhan notice it, she can read just by looking someone's face and she's a pro at it.
"There's nothing wrong." Ella said as she face Jhan with a sweet smile. "I'm just preparing my physical self. They might beat me after this."
After saying those words with a sweet smile on Ella's face, Jhan and Ansus laugh hard while holding their tummy.
"What?! Why are you two laughing? Geez, stop it." Ella said and starts beating them.
"Damn, how can you smile so sweetly? Are you kinda masochist? Hahaha!" Ansus wipe her tears and shook her head. "That's a weird habit you've got there."
"Me? A masochist? Excuse you but I'm afraid of beating." Ella said and raise her eye brow. "But I can fake my smiles, I'm kinda pro at this." Ella said ans start smiling sweetly again.
"Whoa, its creeping me out. What if I pissed you of someday and you suddenly smiled at me sweetly?" Ansus ask.
"What the fuck?!" Ella raised her eye brow again. "Just forget it. Your buying us food, right? Let's go before my parents saw us." She grab both of her new friends arm and start dragging them somewhere.
"Why are your parents coming to our school anyway?" Jhan asked Ella who's letting herself dragged by this small person.
Jhan's height is average and so Ansus too, but this gal who's dragging them. Somewhere is kinda short but it suits her.
"My parents are strict, they want me to focus on my studies and stuff. Its kinda suffocating me." Ella said as she shook her head to erase those memories.
The two just look at each other and never bother to question her. If she wants to open up something to them, they'll just sit down and listen to all her want to open up.
"Don't mind it, just enjoy this day and eat as much as you want." Ansus said that makes Ella smile widely.
"No turning back?" Ella and Jhan said in choir and they both laugh.
"No turning back." Ansus said.
After hearing those, the immediately went to the near stan and eat many street foods as they wants.
Their friendship makes it even stronger despite they have different kinds of like. Ansus likes to draw, paint and she's good in academics also in sports , Jhan likes to write poems, reading novels and kinda good in academics too but a clumsy one while Ella likes to sing, dance, a weird fujoshi and not good in academics but they sync in well.
After they graduate in highschool, they enrolled in a different school and that makes them grow apart. They were busy in their school, activities but they didn't forget each other. If they have a small time to spare they immediately went to Ansus house to talk about their whole month or days but after they graduated from senior highschool, they went in the same campus and live with the same roof.
At first, it's going smoothly as the plan but later on, they struggle so many hardships like financial problems and many more. There parents still support there courses but the apartment, water, electricity bills is their own finance. So they budget their own money and have a part time job to sustain their needs.
It's hard but also fulfilling, they didn't think that college life was hard but they think it as a challenge. A challenge that can help them grow to be what they want to be.
"Hey! OMG! I can't believe we actually made it!!" Ella's crying while smiling widely. She can't believe that they successfully reach the end of the challenge.
"Damn, I don't want to cry." Jhan said who's looking at the sky to prevent falling her tears. "This is a great day, why would I cry, damn it."
Ansus just laugh and start flowing her tears. "Don't hold your tears, Jhan! Join us HAHAHA!" ansus just cry there and cover her face both of her hand.
Ella hugged ansus tight and cry loudly, she can't help but to cry loud and it doesn't bother her if someone's looking at them. Jhan just hugged her two crying friends while their make ups is a mess.
"Damn, stop crying. We don't have wet wipes with us, you two messing your make ups. Stop it." She just sigh and mess their hair even more. "Our journey is not finished yet, we have to make our dreams real before we die."
Ella let go and laugh hard. What a mood swing. "I surely be a professional flight attendant and have a handsome pilot boyfriend!" She shout as she punched the air.
"What a weird dream you have." Ansus said and shook her head. "I want to be a famous artist and all my arts will be known." She said with a proud tone.
"Surely, you can achieve that! I have faith in you." Ella said and wipe her tears with a tissue. She also give Ansus some of it.
Jhan smile, they all surely have different dreams. "Me? I just want to publish a novel book and make a movie of it just like Harry Potter and Twilight. Isn't it cool?!" Jhan exclaimed. She's too excited to make those dreams come true with her friends. Make a novel and one of thise main characters she'll have in her novel would be her friends. That's damn fulfilling for her.
"We all work together to achieve that damn dream of ours and make alot of money to travel!!" Ella really wants to travel around the would but she hate transportations. "We're going to japam first and the rest is second!"
"Yeah, yeah. Japan first." Ansus said. Ella's too stubborn to listen on what they about to say so they just agree whatever Ella wants but not whatever she wants, there's a limit too.
After a year, they all have their jobs and they love it very much. Ansus is a aspiring artist who have a talent to show her arts in a exhibition, Jhan also is a aspiring writer and many netizens notice her novels and many of them like her writing and Ella is a flight attendant who's still learning everything and she's dedicated to what her doing. They like their jobs very much but they didn't forget to spare some time for each one of them to see if they were doing good or not.
Everything is fulfilling and perfect until the tragic comes. Their heading to japan for the 5th times when the plane their riding crash and many peoples end their live there and so the three of them.
