FRIDAY

JANA

"Good morning," Mom wishes, walking into my room and switches off the fan.
"Wake up Jana," she orders while opening the curtains.

I groan, "Bad morning, mom," I reply. I'm one of those people who dozes off once I'm on the bed. I can only wake up if someone calls me so I can't blame them.

"Wake up now or I will call your dad," mom warns. That usually gets me get out of the bed quickly, but it's raining outside, which tempts me to stay under the covers a bit longer.

After a few minutes of snuggling against my comforter, I hop out of the bed. I quickly change into my dress. Friday's are special because we only have to attend few boring lectures. For the rest of the day, we go to our club meeting. I sigh, thinking about all exciting things I will encounter in the Book Club.

**********

The morning went by like any other day. Ms. Susan got angry at Noah for being late, Lyra constantly glares at me for no reason, and Noah got into another fight with Alex. Fortunately, nothing more happened and we all went on with boring classes.

After the lectures were over, every student starts heading to their clubs. Serah was in the Arts Club while Noah and Harry joined the Sports Club. I sigh, slightly bummed for beingon my own.

I take two trips around the third floor, trying to figure out where the meeting for the book club was. When I notice a group of seniors, I walked upto them, "Um, excuse me Where? Do you know where the book club meeting is?"

One of them points to where I'm supposed to go, "It's over there."

I quickly glance ti the guy standing next to him and I'm surprised. Oh my god! Ryan Philip? How did I not know that he was a Josphite? This is totally unexpected! All those stalking didn't help me. Oh god! He is even more handsome in person. I never had a clue that we would meet again and I guess everything happens for a reason.

"Uh... thanks," I smile politly and walk away immediately from the group. I still can't believe... I'm so happy that I can see my crush every day from now on.

By the time I arrived, the meeting already started. They were talking about books, which happens to be my favorite topic, but now I'm distracted and all I could think about is Ryan Philip.

**********

When I got back to class after the meeting, Serah already left to get on her school bus. Harry and Noah waited for me so we can walk together to the bus bay. "How was the meeting?" Harry asked as I was adjusting my bag.

"It was good," I reply nonchalantly, even though I have no clue about what happened there.

Noah looks at me with furrowed brows, "You seem distracted. Everything okay?"

NOAH

"You seem distracted. Everything okay?" I ask. She didn't notice that Harry asked her twice about the meeting.

"Yrah, yeah. I'm fine," she replies. She still seems distracted, but she is smiling a lot, so I guess it's not a bad thing.

"How was yours?" She asked after few moments of silence.

"It was about the selection of a new football team," Harry responds.

"Oh," she replies quietly before zoning out. I cleared my throat, getting her attention. "So, tou like reading?"

"Yeah, I love reading," she shrugged and got on the bus.

JANA

"Welcome home, Jana," mom greeted as soon as she opens the door. I smile tiredly, putting my bag on the floor. I take the T.V remote and plop on the couch.

Mom looks at me in bewilderment, "You forgot?"

"What..." I trail off. After thinking, I gasp. "How can I forget Sandy's birthday? She will kill me!" I run to my room to get ready. I mentally groan. How can I be like this? Lost in the thoughts of meeting Ryan. This is getting too far, even Noah noticed that I'm distracted. Anyway, Sandy will be surprised to hear this.

**********

I went over to Sandy's place by 6. Pm. I arranged a small birthday party with our friends. Sandy has been my best friend forever. The one with whom I can share anything and everything. We grew up together as our parents are close friends. She hates her height because she is too short but that makes her cute. She is super hot and that attracts lots of people. She is a little bossy, but too sweet, and that's why I love her.

When I get inside her place, I notice her in a mini red dress, looking hot. I walk up to her, giving her a hug her, while wishing her happy birthday. "Where is my gift?" She asks, biting her lips eagerly.

I pout, trying to keep a sorry face, "No gift, babe."
She rolls her eyes and laughs, "Liar."

**********

After the party, we went to her room and collapsed on the bed, "Do you remember Ryan?"

"The guy from Facebook?" She immediately asks. I chuckle, knowing damn well that she will remember as I have constantly talk about him, especially whenever he posts a picture.

Ryan Philip is a handsome stranger, not just handsome but indescribable kind of handsome, who sent me a friend request during the summer break. As usual, when I got the request I scrolled through his profile just to see if I knew him. I had no clue about who he was, but I found a photo with Zyan, Sandy's boyfriend and assumed they were friends. I immediately felt a spark for him, mainly for his good looks. However, I stupidly deleted the request and didn't dare to send the request. After that, I started stalking him for fun and found that he is a great artist.

"I still remember that you saw him on the Grand Fest Day," she reminds me.

-FLASHBACK-

All year, I have been anxiously waiting for The Grand Fest Day. Every year, a major music band performs on the Grand Fest Day during the summer break. Nobody ever misses the show because the fest always brings great artists. Everyone around town always comes to the fest, I hope that Ryan will be there. It's a chance to see him in person, a chance means I have to find him from all those thousand people gathered over there.

I was there along with Sandy, my eyes wander for him even though I knew that he won't be looking for me. Fortunately, I caught a glimpse of him from a short distance. He was stunning in his white full sleeve T-shirt and blue denim jeans. I never realized how beautiful white was until now because black was my all-time favorite till then.

Ryan suddenly walked out of sight even before I could show him to Sandy. I whisper to her and we started to look for him, but we couldn't.

While the time we look for Ryan, the band played the final song 'A thousand years'.

"I have died every day, waiting for you,
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years,
I'll love you for a thousand more..."

And those lyrics were perfect for my situation, but sadly that was the last day of hope as I never had any idea about when we will meet again.

-FLASHBACK OVER-

I snap out of my thoughts, "I saw him today."

Sandy shoots up, staring at me in shock. "WHAT? I mean... Where? When?" She bombard me with questions. She is in surprise than I am.

"He is my senior..." I respond slowly, slightly blushing.
