Bedouin Bride Series

Natalia De vera is my name.The only daughter of Lisa Rose De vera. My father died two years ago. We are contented with our simple lifestyle. I'm now second year in college at Harvard Montemayor University, which is owned by Montemayor's.

I study hard coz ’I want to graduate. I just want a simple life as long as it is quiet and free.

I'm not talkative and I'm a quiet person. I'm not tall, I'm white because I inherited it from my mother. Kylie and Jenner they have been my friends since high school. They are artistic but kind. I'm used to them, being party goers.

My cellphone vibrated while arranging my belongings for tomorrow. Kylie called so I answered right away.

"Yes?" I answered and resumed the arrangement. I pinned my cellphone between my shoulder and ear.

"What are you doing?"  she asked on the other line.

"Fixing my needs for tomorrow." I said plainly.

"Really? What color is your bag?" She asked me happily. This is her again,she loves girly stuffs.

"It's nude , mama bought it. It's simple. By the way can you pick me up tomorrow? "

I don't have a car. Well, we have an extra but I can't drive.

"Of course! That's what I thought. Jen and I will pick you up." she said on the other line.

I smiled. “Alright! I  also need to talk to her because I would like to apply at their bistro. I'll be back to singing. "

My hobby is playing the guitar and singing. It's also different when your things comes from your tiredness. Mom said, I inherit from dad, that even if they don’t need money they’ll still work.

"That's good! It's like Jen and I have fun while having shots there. I also like your voice !I miss you joining the singing contest way back in our high school days. I still remember that our room was almost full when you sang. And take note eighty percent of the room is probably your lover!  But of course they all basted! "

"So, what time will you pick me up tomorrow?" I interrupted her.

"Eight AM. All right! I'll call Jen first. Bye!"

I turned off my phone immediately. I went inside the bathroom to do my things before going to  sleep. Eight AM is my first schedule tomorrow.

When I was lying down I first did was facebook. I just scrolling when I hit a group picture. I  looked at it one by one and one face was quite familiar to me. I just don't really remember the one next to him. They almost just look alike. They are both very handsome and the tagged name is written above.

My heart pounded suddenly. I put the cellphone on my chest.

"Montemayor," I uttered out of myself. Damn. Why it bothered me? Actually I see them sometimes in malls and on the road. But now we only have one school. First year college because we were at St. Dominic when I was still studying. But two of my friends persuaded me to be better at HMU. So I transferred today.

It turns out that our first class is tomorrow. I’m excited to find out what the difference is what St. Dominic vs. HMU. Coincidentally I will join their quizbees.

I like books so much. I get curious about stories about the world. Who were the people who preceded this world before us. What were the faces of the places then compared to now.

In my previous school I was told I was a nerd. Because I have a reading glass and always carry a book. It's better than to fuck around right? It's also annoying because I don't have much friends.

Now is the first day of school. Since we have one week to wear our own fashion before wearing the uniform, I wear a high waist fitted black jeans and a white strappy top. Matching with a black doll shoes .I let my hair down a bit curly and slightly wavy waves. I slung my nude bag over my shoulder. I went downstairs when my cellphone rang.

"Ma?" I answered as I went downstairs.

"Natalia, I left early. I have a lot to do."

"It's okay. I love you."

"I love you too sweety. Eat before leaving." she immediately dropped the call. This has always been the scenario in my life. Ever since papa died, mom always working. Maybe because she just wants to entertain herself? I saw then how she suffered and was sad when papa died.

We are all just like dust in this world, We will not last long and will disappear as well. Suppose we're just a passers-by. So they said while we were young, have fun. Do what needs to be done. Do not waste time on sad things because you do not know how long your time in this world is.
