A Glimpse of Tomorrow

"Where am I?"

I look around and saw that I'm in a beach, a very beautiful beach to be precise.

There's must be a reason why I'm here.

"Maybe I should look around." It's nice here, so relaxing.

The water is so clear that you could see the things underwater. The green leaves of the trees compliments the white sand well.

As I was enjoying the view I saw a couple sitting in the swing talking happily, they seem to be so in love. One look, and you can see in their eyes the love and care for each other.

How I wish that in the future there will be someone who will look at me like that.

"Hayyss, someday" Looking at them, all I could do is smile but I didn't realize that I was already crying until a tear drop. I feel happy for them but why does my heart aches as if I knew them.

"Ah-hh why does it hurts so much"  I said while my tears drop one after another.

\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~

I  was immediately woken up by my tears coming down my cheeks and by my heart who is aching as if it has been rip into two.

"What a very weird dream" shaking my head, I sighed.

Well I should just start my day early since I won't be able to sleep again.

I got up, showered, dressed and ate egg with rice and milk for breakfast.

Today is a special day because today is the day I will get to see my report card. I'm so happy yet my hands is cold and full of sweats because of nervousness.

"It's okay Astraea, remember you did a great job in this school year." I sighed.

I just focused on where I am going. The school I go to is just walking distance so I only walk to go to my class.

My thoughts we're disturb due to my friend calling me.

'Astraea!!!' my friend shouted. 'It's 7 o'clock in the morning and you look like it's 7 in the evening, it wouldn't hurt to smile won't you?'

"Good morning to you too." I smiled, she is as energetic as always. "Soleil aren't you nervous for your grades?"

'Honestly I am but I try to not to think about it because I know to myself that I won't have a high grades'

"Don't say that, you can have high grades you know you just need to put a lot more effort."

'Sure, let's us just go inside and get our report card.'

"Yeah, let's go"

We entered our classroom and waited for our teacher to call our name to get our report card.

'Rachel Crawford'

'Aiden Gonzales'

'Liam Harrison'

'Soleil Davis'

'Finally.' Soleil murmured.

"Here's your report card." 'Thank you'

'Yes!!!!' Soleil gleefully shouted.

"What do you got?" I asked.

'Ahhm, with honors, peww I thought I failed.'

"Wow, congrats you did a great job." I praised her.

'Astraea Mandane'

"Wish me luck"

'Goodluck.'

I get my report card and saw the grades I have been manifesting.

I'm so happy.

'What did you get?' my Soleil asked.

"I got with high honor." I answered smiling.

'Congratulation bestie, you really are a living proof of the quote "Hard work pays off"

"Thanks a lot, you know we should celebrate, we did a great job this year #bestfriendgoals."

'Yeah we really should after what you have been through, you cried a lot because of frustrations but hey at least you got a very high grades.'

"HAHA I know the tears I cried has not been put to waste"

'Let's celebrate later I just need to give our teacher the book that I borrowed." she said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in front of the school gate."

As I was walking to go to the school gate I look at my grades again. Looking at it makes me feel contented and thankful for this blessing.

'You know----'

"Ahhh you scared me" I was so startled that my heart is racing so fast.

'As I was saying you know you shouldn't care about your grades a lot, you should just enjoy your youth while you can, because when the time comes you might regret it.' A cute guy said.

"First of all, who are you? Second, why do you care if I care about my grades?"

'Well, I observe that you focuses too much on your grades I know that it's not a bad thing but because of it you misses the things that are fun."

"Thank you for your wise words but I don't need it."

'Suit yourself, and by the way my name is Samuel Chavez you can call me Sam nice to meet you miss.' He smiled at me and walked away.

I'm annoyed at him 'cause he just judge me that I am way too focused on my studies like he doesn't even know me at all. Who does he think he is, like is he someone who knows it all?!?!? But I am more annoyed because he is right, he does have a point that I mostly don't have time to enjoy life. Ugh his still annoying but he's cute though ugh never mind erase that thought.

'Hey Astraea are you okay? Why do you have a scowl on your face? Earlier you seem fine.' Soliel

"Oh nothing I just saw someone who got into my nerves."

He's the first one to educate me about things like that 'cause usually others doesn't care of what I do as long as I have high grades.
