woke-up this morning to my phone alarm ringing. I wanted to snooze again, but when I looked at my phone it said I was late for school so I jumped out of bed and put my uniform as fast as I could make my hair. I grabbed my bag and rushed downstairs. "you woke-up late, and is also the first day of school. your sister already left, what are you gonna do with your life?" my mom said. and I said back "she left without waking me up". my Mom said. As I was in a rush, I grabbed my lunch box and stuffed it into my bag. as I was about to go out of the house I kissed my mother on her forehead, "thanks for the lunch, I am going to school now" I said as I ran out the house into the streets.
"hm, he is a mess, at least he cares for his mother," his mother said.
my Mom is an amazing person to me. my father left us when I was only 5 years old. she took care of me ever since. she worked many jobs, long hours, she bearly had time for herself and in her free time, she took care of me and my sister ever since. she has inspired me to be strong in life no matter what happens. so I try my best to take care of her and make her proud. and my sister, well she is younger than me, she was 3 when my father left us. she can be annoying sometimes. but hey she is still my younger sister.
**************************************************************************************************************
so I reach my school and I reached on time, thank god. I was really worried. my teacher told I would get in trouble if I am late again. so I walk to my class. and see everyone, as usual, I say "good morning" before entering. everyone responds to me with a "good morning". it has turned into a habit. so I go to my desk and put my bag down. then my best buddies, come to me and we start talking. my friends gather around my desk to talk all the time. I am a very sociable person. I make friends everywhere I go. I have a lot of friends. but this is the group of friends that I always hang with. it is a group of three including me.
my best friend, also my childhood friend. we have spent our entire lives together. he is like a brother to me. his name is Alvin. he is very friendly. we both like playing soccer together in our free time. we both are on the soccer team. we are very good at it. but we both suck in studying. we both share a lot of things. and spent most of our time with each other. then we have Ramona, she uhh... she will kill me for saying this. she is very troublesome and controlling at times. she knows how to fight because her father owns a Dojo, but she is also very nice. she knows when someone is going through somethings. she is great with advice. and if something is bugging me or I have to tell someone. I tell her, she is a great listener. she is always there for everyone.
"have you heard? there is a new student coming to school today" said Romona, she followed it with "I heard that it was a Girl. I also heard that she is from the city." I replied to her "really!?" we live in a small town. we barely have any new students in our school. it has been a while. and who would move here? everyone who has lived here went to the city to work. my mother now has a job in the city. it is half an hour's drive to her job area. it is rare for new people to come to our town. and from the city? that is strange. oh well... we will just have to welcome her.
so we continue to talk until the teacher comes into the class. everyone goes to there places. she says "Good morning" we replied "GOOD MORNING" then she says " I am pretty sure you guys have heard that there is a new student, she will be joining us today. you can come in " a short, and slim girl with glass and long black hair reaching the waist, covering one of her eyes comes in. she was wearing her uniform properly. there was something in one of her ears. then the teacher says "Ahava is deaf from one ear. so she might have some difficulties hearing things. I expect you guys to help her when she needs help. and treat her properly." we all follow with "yes, sensei" then she looks the seat beside me, it was empty so she points at it and says "you can go sit there next to Eros, he is very nice" she replies. "okay" in a shy tone. she comes up to me and sits next to me.
the teacher starts the class. "open your textbook to page 60". then as Ahava sits down. I say "hey, I am Eros." he replies "hi... I am... Ahava" I could tell she was very hesitant. I say "nice to meet you" she replies "nice... to meet...you too" then she takes out her textbook. and I do the same. we continue the class. until it was break time.
*************************************************************************
"man, am I tired," I said stretching back after sitting in one place for a long time. Alvin and Romona come to my desk. then Romona went to Ahava and said "hey, I am Romona and this is Alvin" while pointing at him, continued by "nice to meet you." Ahava with a Sutter said "nice...t..to..m..meet you."
Romona asked Ahava "how old are you?" the Ahava replied "I...I am...seventine...years old". Romona said "well I am 17 as well. Alvin is 18, so is Eros" "then Romona asked, "want to join as for lunch?" Ahava replied in a sweet and quiet voice. "yes". Romona said "go with Eros, he will take you are spot. it is a beautiful place. Alvin and I have to buy our lunch" she smiled and left. I ask Ahava "shall we go?" she nodded yes. so she started to follow me while we were going up to the rooftop. I asked her a few questions on the way.
"soo...why did you move here?" when I asked her the question she looked down and I guessed that she wasn't comfortable speaking so I say "you don't have to tell if you want," she asks "how...l..long have y..you l..ived here?" I replied to her "I lived here ever since I was born, you know it has been a while since someone new came to the town, Alvin was also born in this town. and I have known Romona was born in another town but after her father got full custody of her she came to this town. I met her at primary school. and we three have been friends ever since. I am pretty sure you blend in with us"
we reached the rooftop and I opened the door. we enter and I looked at the scene, it is a mountain with a lot of trees and you could see the whole school from up here. I tell Ahava everything about the scene. and I tell her about whatever we could see. then we sit down and open our lunch boxes when Romona and Alvin come. '"hey guys" then Romona looks at my lunch boxes and takes an omelet "hey" I scream. "it is mine now," she says to me" then eats it. then Romona looks at Ahava's lunch boxes. I will have to admit her lunch boxes looked tasty. Romona asked Ahava "does your mother make your lunch?". Ahava replied "no...she doesn't, m..my mother and my f..ather work all t..the t..time so I..I make my o..own lunch b..boxes" then Romona says "well your are so good in cooking that looks really tasty"
"d..do you w..want one?" asked Ahava. Romona says "really?" and Ahava follows with "y..yeah, I..I d..don't mind" then Romona takes one and eats it to say "hmmmmm.. this is really good!!!" Ahava says "t..thanks" we spent the rest of the break talking about a lot of things. Ahava was quiet most of the time, then the bell rings and we go back to class. we sit down and our class start.
********************************************************************************
so classes finish and ask I Ahava "classes are over. are you going to join any club?" Ahava looked at me, then looked down and said "I...I d..don't really h..have a..anyt..thing in m..mind". then I knew that she doesn't know much about the school. then I tell her that "Alvin and I are in the soccer club. Romona is in the martial arts club" then I continued "if you want we can give a school tour, I and Alvin just finished the finals and we won so this week we won't have any club activity. Romona could put someone else in charge of the Dojo."
"oh..oh you d..don't have t..to d..do t..that," she says. "no, it's okay," Romona says. "I will go quickly and put someone on duty, you guys start off without me" so Romona runs quickly. then me and Alvin take Ahava we take her around the school and tell her all the clubs, Romona joins us halfway through. and I will have to tell our school is not that big. so it was a short tour. then at the end of the tour, we went to take our bags. then we went to the school gate.
******************************************************************************************
"Today was a long day" states Alvin. then we look at Ahava and Romona ask "which way are you going?" Ahava replies "t...this way" pointing at her left. then Romona asks "are you familiar with the town?" then Ahava says "n..no, I..I am n..new here". then Romona says "I will join you. I go the same way. these two idiots go that way" pointing to the right. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING IDIOTS!?" screams Alvin. oh did I mention Alvin and Romona fight a lot?
"don't worry they fight all the time," I say to Ahava. then I grabbed Alvin by his collar from his back and proceeded to drag him. "see you tomorrow" I tell to them waving bye. I could see that Romona waving bye. then we started walking back to our home. we talked a little a bit. then we said bye and went to our houses.
