Chapter 1. Accidental Encounter
It’s a beautiful sunny day at the beach. I sipped my special fruit cocktail while lying on a lounging under a beach umbrella. My two-piece pale green bikini with a thin bikini over it is the perfect outfit. A gentle breeze blew and my hair swayed with the wind. “C’est la vie!” I said softly, satisfied. “I could get used to this. I wish I could stay here for a long time.” Suddenly… “Zynette, Zynette, hurry!” a familiar voice was calling from the back. Just when I was enjoying this rare moment in a beautiful place then someone had to come and ruin it. I sat up and glanced to where the voice was coming from and saw that it’s my sister, Marian. Don’t get me wrong. I love my big sis, dearly but why was she calling me? BLAG BLAG BLAG! “Open the door, Zynette! Wake up or you’ll be late for school!” Marian called out.  “What?” I asked and got up from the bed so fast that I fell on the floor. “I’m awake, Marian,” I called out. “You don’t have to break my door,” I said as I turned the door knob. “You didn’t even let me swim,” I murmured, remembering my dream. Oh wait, I can’t swim. I chuckled.   “What?” She asked, confused.   “I could have drowned anyway, so thanks for waking me up,” I murmured.   “Wake up, Zynette. I think you’re still dreaming,” she scolded. “How could you sleep in when it’s a weekday? You’re 20 years old and should be more independent and responsible by now. Hurry up so you won’t be late. I need to go now so I won’t be late for my on-the-job training.”   “Yeah, thanks much, big sis!” I said and smiled as she left me to get myself prepared for school. My sister has always been like a mother to me although she’s just three years older.    I rushed to the bathroom and went through my morning rituals. After about 45 minutes, I was in front of the school, running. If my sister had not woken me up, I would have been stuck in heavy traffic by now.   My first class starts in a few minutes so I need to run with all these students walking to their classes. With a notebook in hand, I ran to the corner on the way to our building. Our building was far from the entrance so I ran further and was relieved to see the building in view.   I ran up some stairs then I just need to turn a corner. As I was running to the corner, I suddenly collided with a guy. My notebook fell on the floor together with the guy’s things.   I was supposed to be thrown back but then our ID laces got entangled. Thanks to that, he caught me and prevented me from falling. Now here I am, in a tall, muscular guy’s arms. Wait, is this another dream? Did I fall asleep somewhere?   I looked up to his face and I was greeted by a handsome face. He was fair, had chinky eyes that were now wide open as he looked at me. He looked like a model that came out from a magazine. He had a Greek nose, medium lips dark brown short side-swept hair and casual but fashionable shirt and jeans. We stared at each other in shock while he supported my back with his arms. The “staring contest” ended abruptly when he was bumped from behind causing him to hug me tighter to prevent us from falling on the ground. I would have lost my balance had he not steadied me.   “Arrggh!” he groaned. That must have hurt, I thought, still shocked of what was going on. My mouth was in perfect “O” all the while. Now my face was on the guy’s chest and I couldn’t move for he was hugging me tightly.   “Sorry, my bad,” came another guy’s voice. “I hope you’re okay, if not please see me at the student lounge, or anywhere, right now, I need to rush,” he said and he’s gone.   “Hey, come back here!” this gorgeous guy who was hugging me shouted. I looked at the side and I noticed that there were students staring at us. I tapped his arm and he looked at me seemingly surprised that he was hugging me. Then he let me go. I stepped back but couldn’t go further because of our entangled IDs. He untangled them, finally.   “Are you okay?” He asked, looking at me, as if checking if I was hurt somewhere. His low, manly voice was unique and attractive.   “I would have had a heart attack in your arms,” I murmured.   “What? Are you hurt somewhere?” he asked as he held my shoulders.   “Hey Jico, got a new girl, huh?” said a big guy who was passing by. Oh, so that’s his name. “See you in class, lover boy!” the bug guy shouted.   That’s when I remembered my class.   “My class!” I shouted. “I’m fine,” I said as I looked around to find my notebook. He picked up our notebooks and he gave me mine. I turned to run.   “Wait!” he shouted but I ran as fast as I could.   I finally reached our building and I continued running towards the lecture room on the first floor. I was five minutes late. I quietly walked in. The teacher was already there and the students were seated with their respective groups. Good thing, we just need continue our planning then have it approved by our teacher.   “Hey, Zynette! What happened? You were never late,” Melissa, my best buddy whispered as I sat beside her.   “Long story. I’ll tell you later,” I whispered back.   I was the group leader so I had to lead the group discussion.   “Okay, sorry I was late,” I told my five group mates. “Anyway, as agreed last meeting, for our communication campaign plan,” I said as I opened the notebook. I opened it in the middle and was shocked to find musical notes and lyrics in it. I flipped the pages and saw that they were lyrics. It wasn’t my notebook. I gasped.
