"Pastillas"
( Note : This chapter is Christopher's own POV. This includes his life, his feelings, and his challenges. )
---------------
Did you ever want to be something but you think it's too high to reach?
Did you ever think of going to the moon and be an astronaut?
If you do, let's be friends
I always wanted to go to the moon and look at the stars while having a little holiday there
Mom always told me that being an astronaut is not that impossible and well she supports me in being one bur she said she'll miss me whenever I have to take off
She's always like this but I'm used to it so it's okay, I'll miss her too
I'm Chris and I will become an astronaut and take my mom to the moon
-------------------
"Anak let's go na, your lola is waiting, we're so late!"
Hi, I'm Christopher Jose Ceniza and my life is not that perfect
Mom is my best friend but she could be so crazy some times, believe me
There was this one time that I told her that I wanna go to the moon and well she agreed
Crazy, right?
If you think that's crazy, wait until you meet my Dad
"Chris, tara na late na tayo"
"Chris, let's go we're already late"
That's my Dad, he's not my best friend but he's my best bestfriend
There was this one time and I told him that I wanna see the moon and he said 'okay'
After dinner, he invited me to go with him at the garage and in my surprise, I saw a telescope there, already pointing at the moon
I didn't know what to say to I just hugged him and went straight to the telescope
Yup, they are pretty crazy
CRAZY AWESOME!
"Hi, I'm Prisha"
I was at my grandma's party, sitting alone, quitely, when a girl came to me and introduced herself
"What's your name?" she asked
She was wearing a cute white sweater and underneath it was a beautiful cute dress
She also has a red bow that maches her brunnette hair
What made her more cute and prettier was her curtain bangs, she was like a furry puppy
"I'm Christopher" I smiled at her
After that, she started talking more which made me annoyed and the questions were vert random
I tried to calm myself knowing that she's younger and that she's just a girl
I mean, girls talk too much, that's what my Dad said and Prisha prooved it
"Goodbye Christopher!" she waved her hand as we were heading to our car
I waved back and smiled to her then went in our car
Both my parents were seating at front where mom was driving and dad was in shotgun because he's still sobering up
"What?" I asked when I saw mom and dad's teasing faces and they were looking at me through the front mirror
"I see you made 'friends' with the daughter of mom's friend there" she made a peace sign as she said 'friends'
I looked so pissed, they do this everytime I make a GIRL FRIEND
"Oh come on, she's nine mom and I'm twelve!" I massaged my head
Both of them laughed when they heard what I said, they looked like clowns!
"Well your mom is five years younger than me and we met each other not so far from your ages" dad said with his eyebrows going up and down
I stopped my mouth from talking for them to shut their mouths too
When we arrived at our house, I immediately went upstairs, in the attic, to my room
I chosed the attic to be my room for peace and silence, it's calming without any noises
When I arrived at my room, I lay down so hard to my bed
I remember that the girl gave me something earlier, it was a letter
'Hi Christopher, I hope I'll see you again and we'll play again soon:>'
After reading the note, my heart felt something I haven't feel before
I did not mind it at all and just kept the note to my wallet where mom and dad could not find it, they will just tease me for the rest of my life
I took a shut eye and did not noticed that I was still smiling because of the note
"CHRISTOPHER!"
It was morning and I heard my mom yelling my name so loud, too loud that it can be the town's new alarm clock
I went downstairs, rushing, to check why my mom yelled so loudly early in the morning
"What? What happened? Are you okay?" I was panicking
"Oh, I'm okay, we're going somewhere today and we'll drop you off mom's house"
"Come on, I told you we're just friends mom, nothing else and I just met her yesterday" I scratched my head
She laughed at me and continued on cooking
"I wish I am making a way for you guys to be a couple but I'm really busy for that. Both me and your dad has works to do out of town so we'll leave you to your grandma, you'll be safe there" she sounded serious so I was convinced
"Pack your clothes that's good for a month, we don't know when our duty is done" she said
I went upstairs and packed my clothes so fast, faster than anyone, even flash
"Oh my God, you came back!"
We arrived at grandma's mansion and there I saw Prisha playing dolls with grandma
"Bye bro, be a good boy okay?" Dad said and then there they went off
I went directly to grandma and hugged her, she was very happy to see me
I looked at Prisha and gave her something that I brought from my house, I hope she'll use it
Starting that day, Prisha and I became the best of friends
It's been a year too that mom and dad went out of town for a duty but we still stayed in touch buy telephone and texts
It was a calming morning when I saw Prisha eating a candy
"Hey, what are you eating? it's still early for that you sweet tooth" I scolded her
Prisha is a sweet tooth, she's always eating sweets even at night
"Pastillas" I rolled my eyes teasingly
Afternoon came, me and Prisha went to the rooftop to witness the great sunset
A color pink and violet sky was what we were witnessing, it was so calming and so pretty to watch
I looked at Prisha by accident while I was looking around the place
I saw how beautiful and pretty she was, she's the cutest too
"The view is so pretty, right?" she asked
"Yes, it is really beautiful indeed"
