21. Dear Best Friend, SURIGAO TRIP
Ciara's POV
Today is the first day of our vacation! Today is October 29th, and my grandmother's birthday is the next day. We're now bringing two cars, one for our family and the other for Uncle Derek's.
We intended to seal ourselves in our van while Shan's parents, Jane, and Uncle Derek's family stayed in the other van. I'm confident that Lola's 66th birthday celebration will be a big success.Surigao is something I miss as well. I was born in Surigao City and moved to Butuan City when I was four or five years old. My father's birthplace is Butuan, but she met Mom and also Dad's work before he was deployed to Surigao."Are your things okay there?" dad prompted my friends, as we double-checked our belongings in case someone had forgotten something.
The drive from Butuan to Surigao is not long. It takes around an hour and a half.Related chapters

Ciara's POVThis is the moment of our life and it is our last night in Surigao and tomorrow early in the morning, we will go back to Butuan City. We were just bathing in the very fresh and warm seawater.My grandmother's birthday is the best one yet! Maybe, it was because my parents and everyone I love are with me, together, and now we are all complete, which is what I prayed before for so long.Until now, we have been swimming at night, but who cares? We're enjoying our night out! We can do what we want, even my parents are swimming with us and I can see that they are so sweet together. I didn't see them being sweet before, of course, they are always not around."Wow, these lovebirds are so sweet," my uncle Derek joked toward my parents. For him, it was also the first time he saw my parents so sweet.Dad

I'm so excited to know what section we are in,"Patty complained as she scrolled through her phone.I looked at her and asked,"Sir Justine is the one who will announce the sectioning?""Yeah,"she replied and turned off her phone,"Our section will be a block section and it's strictly forbidden to change section or subjects.""That's so unfair for everyone,"Patrick said

Ciara's POVRight after we pay at the registrar, we are all now in the Robinsons Mall where we are shopping at the grocery to buy snacks because we are going to watch a movie today. We just bought chips, sodas, and anything we will bring inside the cinema to eat.I turned my attention to Shan's new introduction to us, Zam. I approached her and she seemed shocked to see me,"H-hi. Ciara, right?"I smiled and nodded. She is so pretty and I can sense that she is kind,"Yes. So far, how are you? I heard from Shan that you were originally from Manila and moved from France and moved again here in Butuan City."

Ciara's POVI sighed. I can’t help but worry because not all the time I get to be with him especially now that he’s in a different section.What if the time comes that he gets tired? Or what if, he suddenly falls in love with another woman he is close with?Come to think about it that Shan is my best friend and he fell in love with me. What if he has a new girl best friend, then he falls in love with that new best friend, too?"Hey!"I was surprised when Patrick, who was already in front of me, suddenly shouted,"Are you okay? You haven't eaten your hotdog yet.""Huh?"I don't seem to be on my own anymore and now I notice that the hotdog I'm holding hasn't been eaten yet.

Ciara's POV"At this time since the first day of school, why don't we introduce ourselves first? It's like I can get to know you all and I won't have a hard time getting to know you when we have oral recitations."I groaned. Why introduce more? What are we? High school? We are college students but we are still considered children because of that introduction!I looked around and never knew all my future classmates. Not everyone here is also my classmate in all subjects because it is only a minor subject and many irregular students are also included.Everyone starts to introduce and thankfully they started in the front row, which means we still have a long way to go.I noticed that other graduating students were also included in our subject, others were also a year ahead of us. See? Do you think we need to introduce more?

Ciara's POVShan immediately separated from me and I could see the annoyance on the face he was holding back. I laughed at her and looked at Jane who was standing in the doorway staring at us,"Hi, Jane! Come on."She rolled her eyes,"There you two are again. Please, I'm not used to seeing you two like that.""Hey, Jane. As much as you know but you're young. Go out and go inside your room,"Shan scolded but instead, she entered Shan's room."I will just stay here, bro. The best thing is let's just watch a movie. It can prevent on what you're planning to do here,"he said and she grinned. Jane is very mature to think even though she is only in grade one. Uncle John even said that she was just like his sister, Faith when she was young.

Ciara's POVWe walked and crossed the national highway until we reached the milk tea shop.We went in and Patrick immediately ordered. I immediately took my book on cost accounting and read it."Seriously, study right away Rose, ah? Just chill first and let's just talk about your life,"Patrick said. I looked at him and sighed,"It's that, you've been studying that for almost a week. You've probably memorized the weighted average formula."I laughed,"You're right, Patrick,"I closed the book and put it back in my bag,"Oh, what are we going to talk about?""As for you and Shan,"Patrick sat up,"what's the real score on them? Zam's only been like that for a month."I looked him
Dear Best Friend, I LOVE YOU 29. Dear Best Friend, AVOIDING HIM
Ciara's POVWe ordered some food and went to the seat chosen by them, "Take a seat, Jane. You're very welcome here." Jane was not new to them since they already knew and met Jane a couple of times when we used to hang out at Shan's place and they got to know Jane about her bungling and her intense knowledge and wisdom at a young age."Hey! So, how are your studies, fellow friends?" Jane asked the four of them and I can see that they groaned."Awful.""Stressed.""Tiring.""Haggard."Jane looked at me full of astonishment and turned to them again, "Why is it tiring and stressful? I mean, look at me. I am a student also and I always look fresh when I study and read some lessons. It's not hard."Patrick stared at her with his jaws dropped, "You are such a nerdy, Jane. Probably! You're still on what? Grade one? You haven't even reached subtraction and multiplication yet, so you can say that it's not hard," Patrick said."Oh, it's just the beginning, Jane. You still have a long way ahead
