Chapter 4 Roseline

An alarm buzzed loudly causing a very reedy and unstoppable sound.

Wake up, wake up, it's time for a lecture...

The alarm continued... It's a beautiful alarm toy, that drums loudly.

Roseline covered her ears with the pillow, as she tried avoiding the creepy sounds. But it didn't stop still. Instead, it increased even more.

She even saw the alarm ringing in her dreams. It's felt so real like a nightmare. She subconsciously muttered...

"Please stop," she grunted, but it's increased. Oh hell...

"You asshole get the fuck!" She frustratedly hit the buzzing alarm away and the alarm hit it back against the wall and stopped. The reedy sound stopped abruptly.

Roseline jerked off the bed. Is it spoilt already? Hell no, papa is going to skin her alive. He always makes sure to enter her room every night when she's asleep to check up on her and set the annoying alarm to its appropriate time.

"Gosh, such an annoying thing," she grumpily groaned.

She yawned loudly and lazily squatted before the buzzing alarm and tapped it.

"Hey Mr Sung... Um...Are you okay..."She

said and tapped it again.

Wake up, wake up, it's time for a lecture...

The alarm buzzed loudly in her ears once more. She groaned in total frustration, and she turned it off and then placed it where it was supposed to be.

She lazily stretched her body and bounced back on her tiny bed. She still felt sleepy. To her it's not even morning yet but that thing, that freaking thing!

Sometimes she failed to understand if she should thank her papa or otherwise for gifting her such an awesome freaking gift. But her papa gave her this toy purposely on her last birthday because he knew she was a lazy ass. Wait, was she a lazy ass. Not a doubt' she thought and rolled her eyes sillily.

Well, she had to wake up for lectures early. After all, she's leaving for school today.

"Wait... Hell no" she muttered subconsciously as she jerked off the bed.

Fuck! She almost forgot she's leaving for school today itself and here she is still sleeping? Silly her. She forgot, seriously? She had to get ready right away, or Papa would rant on her again. Seriously she can't stand it.

A message wakes up his phone screen

"Hm, who's that..." She asked herself as she was going to give it a check, and Hella no! She gasped. Fifty missed calls already, what! She was taken aback by the number of missed calls on her phone.

Darn it! The man who's asked to pick her up must be waiting outside. Now she realized this was the day she had been waiting for her whole life.

Having the opportunity to be part of Harvard University. Isn't it amazing? It's such a dream come true for her.

Her family was so happy when she made it in with all of her efforts. Getting a scholarship was undoubtedly hard but she still managed. Well, she finally fulfilled her wildest dreams ever. Studying in one the most prestigious institutions ever. Harvard University was her dream school.

She tidied up her bed and kissed her pillow goodbye. She's not going to be using them for a while. Her luggage was packed already, but she'd forgotten something...

Her alarm toy. It's indeed pretty annoying, but it's also true it's not useless at all. After all, it was gifted to her by her one lovely papa.

She picked it up with a smile hurriedly and kept it in her handbag immediately.

She swiftly flew into her small washroom. It's no time being a lazy ass.

Cold water showered on her abundantly. She screamed and dashed out of the washroom instantly. What the fuck! The water heater had to stop working now.

"Ugh!" She groaned. Goddamn, she had to take her bath in a cold shower. The bad thing was she got no choice; if today was a normal day, she would have waited till the heater was fixed, but today is her favorite day, no freaking around. She ran back in immediately. Shaking sillily under the shower. She washed herself with soap clumsily as she hummed her favorite song. 'Breathing by Anne Maria' with full excitement.

Singing would be a bad idea since she hardly knows the song. She hopped out of the shower like a happy toad.

She hastily checked her phone, so many text messages... Gosh!

She rampages her closet one more time, looking for what to wear as ever. After a long ransacking, she finally decided on long Jean pants and a long-sleeved white shirt. Even still she looked so formal and gorgeous, gorgeous as always.

After using the dryer, she neatly parked her black long curly hair in a ponytail. It's a good thing Papa helped her trim it after lunch yesterday. It would have been a huge disaster by now. She brushed the edges back with her hands. She took a last glance at the mirror, and boom, she was ready for school.

She hastily used the exit, forgetting her baggage. Damned her...

She ran back into her room... She got a text message again.

"What the actual fuck Roseline, I'm fucking waiting outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The driver completed adding a lot of punctuation marks.

" Ugh!" She groaned with her eyes closed. She hates rushing things.

"Give me 5 minutes, please," She texted back. She can't understand how a man can be so disturbing and impatient. Was she even saying this? Well, it's in their nature. They're sulky and always giraffes. She thought and laughed sloppily.

She snapped out and rushed out with all of her things, drawing everyone's attention in the living room.

"Come have some bread dear," her father called out, drawing her attention. Roseline hesitated for a moment. She has no time to waste now, but wait, is she gonna leave like that without kissing her family goodbye? She won't get to see them for a while.

She ran to her seat and gluttonized the sliced bread in a minute, then sipped some hot tea.

"You just take it slowly, or you gonna get fat," her 10-year-old younger brother, Cam, said simply expressionless, spearing no glance at her and making everyone laugh.

Roseline frowned and gulped down a glass of water.

"Well, I just drank all of this. I'm not going to get fat, okay silly?" She jokingly mocked, and they all giggled. These two are just like Tom and Jerry.

"Hey, Rose..." Her 12years younger sister, Adelita called out.

"What?" Roseline frowned as she looked into her cell phone. She just got another text message.

"Look who's here" Her mother completed.

Roseline turned back and OMG!

"Kate?!" She muttered subconsciously stunned.

The girl Kate walked majestically towards and hugged her still-agape girlfriend.

"Hey girl, it's me, Katherine." She introduced herself with a smile.

"I miss you so much, baby", she added, disengaging from the hug."

" Katherine?" She repeated with a questioning look as she blinked twice. How could she explain this? Her once-forgotten high school chum was right here before her. It's so damn unbelievable but what's she fucking doing here. Wasn't she supposed to be in school by now?

Kate smiled as she walked up to her parents.

Roseline just standstill with an agape mouth as he watched her friend exchange pleasantry with her parents. It's so astounding. Her whole life, she never expected to see her bestie right before her now and look this hot and energetic.

Well, she had always known her bestie. She's a rich kid with a unique heart who didn't mind being a friend of a middle-class girl like her...

But dressing like this? She had never dressed like a girl once back then when they were in high school. Everyone used to mistook her for a boy because, honestly, after dressing up, she always looked just like one.

"Kate? Is this you? You are..." Roseline still can't find her words. It was just too much for her to believe.

"Yes, babes, I'm a girl now. You don't need to believe it already; since we only have a little time, can we leave now?" She simply asked seemingly not bothered about Roseline. She's her best friend after all. She knows how she is anyway.

Kate gripped her hand and tried dragging her out. Roseline stopped abruptly with a slight frown.

"Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing? Where are you taking me, huh? And you here... You should be in school right...Does your dad even have any idea that you are here huh?." She looked at her with a questioning face extremely filled with curiosity.

"So many questions, don't tell me you are expecting me to answer all that in just 5 minutes. Aren't you happy to see me, your best friend already?" Kate simply said and her lips slightly parted in disbelief.

"Stop that bitch, I'm here for you... To pick you up..." She crystallized.

Roseline was speechless. She was not expecting her to say anything, was she?

"But to where..." She creased her brow. Sometimes it's hard to believe this crazy friend of hers, and where was she taking her, huh?

"To the moon, to great the stars good morning. Common, stop acting all weird now, I texted you a minute back! Kate explained plainly.

"Well, you are the weird one here," she spontaneously muttered. Still registering what's off in her mind.

All of a sudden, her eyes widened. So Kate was the fucking bitch that has been texting her almost a million times today...

She almost burst her fucking phone with her silly messages.

"Oh, my! You asshole! You almost broke my phone, it's not even morning yet!... Are you crazy?!. Roseline blurted out with a widened shocked gaze. She can't help but gasped in surprise. Her friend was sure crazy, no doubt.

"I almost choked on my food you damned thing!" She added with a brightened face and an agape mouth.

"You are the crazy one bitch, did you even have a schedule at all. You were just sleeping like a log forgetting you got to get up for school. You are such a lazy ass girl! Kate retorted violently with a sharp gaze.

Rose just stood there with her mouth agape. She still can't believe the unbelievable kinds of stuff happening now. When she had to have a friend, she ended up with the craziest one ever.

"Ah..." She muttered and scoffed.

"You annoying brat, just wait I'm gonna kill you right now!." Roseline shrieked as she ran after her friend with a tea cup.

"Well her family just watched them laughing. It's not new to them after all. They know how crazy the two can be. They found each other, pretty good. Nobody can be a perfect match for the twos.

"You two should stop that childish act of yours early in the morning okay?" Rose's father, Mr Smith, cautioned.

"You heard that. Stop! Uncle just said that," Kate shouted out, looking like a real wrestling champion as she ran among couches.

"And you think I'm going to do that huh? You prick! Stop my foot! She yelled out in response, and they continued roaming around coaches.

"I'm not going to leave you until I finish you off. Asshole!" She shrieked.

"Oh, you fool. You think you can kill me with that, huh? Go get a needle or razor blade. I'm gonna wait for you." Kate scornfully mocked.

Roseline frowned.

"YOU ASSHOLE! I'LL KILL YOU!" She shrieked frustratedly"

"The twos continued just like ever early in the morning. Like Tom and Jerry. They can never change honestly.

"OH MINE! It's 9 am already!" Her mom alerted them with a scream.

"Wait, what!" Roseline dashed over there and dropped the cup on the table then checked her wristwatch immediately. It's not even 8 am yet.

"Mum..." She was frustratedly stressed.

"What? Are you going to kill me as well?" Her mom teased, making them all giggle.

"Common, you two will run late doing that childish stuff; you're adults now, remember." Her mom cautiously said and drank some water.

Roseline slammed her hands on the table shocking everyone. She looked back furiously at her panting friend.

"You, I'm not done with you!" She huskily said with a serious expression. She looked like she was about to win the biggest war in the history of existence.

"Then walk to school on your bare foot," Kate retorted back sharply as she looked seriously into her eyeballs. This duo looked like opponents.

Roseline scoffed and hardly pressed her lips together, making her brow furrowed. She breathed in and out calming down her raging heart.

"We should go now" she finally caught it off.

She kissed her family goodbye while Kate just waved, and they headed outside with Kate helping her with some of her things. They jumped inside the car after loading up the luggage at the back of the car.

The driver drove immediately. At first, the journey begins with a calm silence until they pass by a fancy roadside shop...

"ICE CREAM!" They both screamed together, then looked at each other at once with widened eyes, and then laughed out loud.

"Hey, stop the fucking car, let's have some ice cream, girl," Kate said with a bright smile.

"I'm not done with you, I'm still gonna kill you bitch." Roseline said with a slight frown.

"Alright, you can kill me later, baby. I'm all yours..." She exclaimed with a bright smile and Roseline chuckled.

"Let's enjoy the fucking day bitch" Katherine screamed out in excitement as she alighted the car. Roseline smile brightened immediately.

"Who--ooh ah... Yah!" Roseline screamed amusingly as she followed her lead.

How she missed this so much. She has always known that Kate was admitted into Harvard University because they believed in her.

Yes, she believed in her. That has always been their widest dream together since high school and she believed she's gonna make it in there as well even though she knew his family couldn't afford the fee, his father is a teacher and his mom is a nurse, their lives aren't wretched and they weren't rich either but just living a simple life.

Schooling at Harvard University has always been her dream, and with the help of the scholarship, here she is together with her best friend once again. It has been quite a while since they've not seen each other.

It's so beautiful, isn't it? There's nothing more beautiful than being around your loved ones. God knows how she succeeded in sweet-talking the man that's supposed to get her. She must have missed her so much.

She smiled with a slow blink. It's just too beautiful to be true right now. She's finally with her once-best buddy. Amazing right?

"High five!" Kate screamed out with excitement and their hands collided with the brightest smile ever. It's such a great day. They chatted and laughed out loud while enjoying their ice creams. How did they miss this so much? After a long chitchat and laughter, they jumped back in the car, and the rest of the journey was just fun.
