The Story of Lucia Joaquin

Story of Lucia Joaquin

I woke up at around 3:00 am because I had to go pee. I got up immediately, ran to the restroom, and after that, I’d be able to go back to sleep. But, I was wrong. Whenever I try to close my eyes, I could no longer feel sleepy. I thought it would be easier for me to go back to sleep if I turned off the lights in my room, but I’m so used to sleeping with the lights on. So, that’s what I did. I got up and turned off the lights. Then, I went back to bed and I closed my eyes. Still, I no longer feel drowsy.

Then, I thought that I’d just hang out on Facebook for a bit, maybe for sure, I’d feel sleepy again. I reached out at one of my two cell phones sitting on the side table next to me, and I started logging on my Facebook. While I was reading the posts that my friends posted on their walls, I received a PM (private message). I checked the name on my (Facebook) Messenger. I thought, do I know this person? The name indicated was “Lucia Joaquin.”

LUCIA JOAQUIN: Hi.

ENZO CRUZ: Hello.

LUCIA JOAQUIN: Is it okay for us to talk?

ENZO CRUZ: Huh? About what?

LUCIA JOAQUIN: About anything. I don’t have anyone to talk to. I’m feeling lonely.

ENZO CRUZ: Is that so? It’s very rare that I get to find someone online at this hour. Most of my friends are still asleep.

LUCIA JOAQUIN: Why are you awake?

ENZO CRUZ: Actually, I just woke up. I’m trying to get back to sleep, so I just ended up on Facebook.

LUCIA JOAQUIN: Maybe the reason why you woke up because someone else woke you up?

ENZO CRUZ: Huh? What do you mean?

LUCIA JOAQUIN: Oh, nothing. By the way, you’re really handsome. When I saw you, I immediately ended up liking you.

ENZO CRUZ: Huh? Saw me where?

LUCIA JOAQUIN: Here on your photos. I’m looking at them right now.

When I read that Lucia was looking at my photos on Facebook, I went directly to my timeline to see which photos she was looking at. And then, I went to her profile to look at her photos, however, something else got me curious.

ENZO CRUZ: How come your timeline is empty?

LUCIA JOAQUIN: I just recently created my Facebook.

ENZO CRUZ: And your profile pic. It’s really dark.

LUCIA JOAQUIN: It’s really dark in this room.

ENZO CRUZ: Don’t you have flash on your phone’s camera?

LUCIA JOAQUIN: There is.

ENZO CRUZ: Use it, so your photo would be brighter.

LUCIA JOAQUIN: Alright. By the way, I added you under Close Friends ² here on Facebook, okay?

ENZO CRUZ: Sure. Alright.

LUCIA JOAQUIN: And because we’re Close Friends, we should have a photo together.

ENZO CRUZ: Alright, sure. When we see each other, we’ll have a photo together.

As we continued on chatting on the messenger when from out of the blue, my other phone began to vibrate. I reached for it to see what it was. I got a shock when the phone just flashed right after I unlocked my phone. I began to wonder why it vibrated when no one called or sent me a text. I returned the phone back on the side table.

LUCIA JOAQUIN: Is it okay to know your age?

ENZO CRUZ: Based on how you see me, how old?

LUCIA JOAQUIN:Maybe around 18? Haha!

ENZO CRUZ: You’re teasing me!

LUCIA JOAQUIN: I’m not, that’s how I see you as in your pic!

ENZO CRUZ: Alright, fine, thank you. To be honest, I’m already 25.

LUCIA JOAQUIN: Wow! You really look young!

ENZO CRUZ: Thanks again. How about you, how old are you?

LUCIA JOAQUIN: What’s your guess?

ENZO CRUZ: You’re really hard to guess. Your face is way too dark on your profile pic.

LUCIA JOAQUIN: Is that so? Oh alright, one sec.

ENZO CRUZ: Alright.

LUCIA JOAQUIN: Alright, there you go. I uploaded a new pic. Go ahead and check it out.

ENZO CRUZ: Alright, I’ll go and take a look.

When I went to check out Lucia’s timeline, then I felt my hair rising once I saw the new photo she recently uploaded.

In the photo was her, smiling, while lying down right next to me.
