The memories
June is a rainy season of the month and it was the beginning of our class but I hated this kind of weather because it's reminded me of my father's death.
Starring outside the window of our class room,I could see all students walking towards their class room with their colorful umbrellas..
A faint smile appears on my lips wishing I could enjoy seeing those raindrops and have courage to adore it but how I could do that when my heart feels the sorrow of him leaving us.
It was raining hard of November and day by day Papa's conditions is getting worse.
He was diagnosed of stage four lung cancer and treatment can't help to extend his life it only slowing the process of killing him and it was so hard seeing him in pain but we try our best to show him that we can pass this situation.We will do anything and everything to cure him but life was so cruel to us.He died on that month in my arms.
"Hey!are you done?"Melissa's cheerful voice rang through my ears that almost made jump out on my own chair and luckily she never notice that im thinking about my past as she happily asked about our project.
"Not yet,I don't get the exact measurements."
I sadly said that surprised her.
Melissa knew that I really love drawing and hearing my answer was made her wonder why I haven't done it yet.
"I thought your done already." Melissa softly said and take her seat beside me.
"How about you?"I asked and lazily laid my head on my armchair.
"Not yet,I cant solve the measurement either."She said in a low voice but wenough for us to hear.
We both sign.were done.
"I hate math" We said in chrous because we're having a bad on understanding those formulas.
"Perhaps I can help?." A cheerful voice interrupt us and When we turned, we see Bernard one of our classmate standing infront of us.He is cute and friendly towards us.
"Oh thank you so much!"Melissa happly said while bouncing her feet that mede me chuckle.
He thought us how to solve the formulas in easy way and luckly we got it easly.
At lunch time,Melissa and I decide to stay inside our class room.
We're happily eating our lunch when we noticed the sweetness of Harrish and Joyce when they arrived.
"They are already in relationship." Melissa whisper to me with a hint of sandness on her voice.
Harrish Talledo is the school compus heartthrob.
He is the tall,dark and handsome as they said and all the girls in our campus had a crush on him,including Melissa.
Melissa had a crush on him since elementary and no one knows except me, her best friend.
I was so shock when Melissa told that because I also had a crush on him which she never know and lucky for me I never had a chance to tell her feelings or else our friendship will be at risk.
From that on,I decided to give up my fellings for him because I choose Melissa and Our friendship was matter most to me and I can give up anything for my best friend's happiness.
Im just a transferee student from a public school in the province of leyte and it was my first time attending private school and since it was a private school,I presumed that bullying and discrimanation will be matter of course.
But when I meet Melissa everything was changed, She is different from others and she is the first person who talk to me.Melissa was so friendly to me and since then we became best friends.
We have a lot of common when it come to our likes but we have far different when comes in beauty.
Melissa Ki is a half Chinese,she is had a cute face with a chubby figure with the height of 4'9.
Me?nah...I'm just an ordinary girl and Melissa is beautiful than me.I mean filipina is beautiful but im not one of them.
Im just ordinary girl with a ,slim body,Fair skin and has a weavy hair,in other words Im not attractive.
Anyway let's get back to this love birds seated infront of us and they are happily talking sweetly to each other and honestly they look perfect to me.
Joyce is beautiful and charming although she's not friendly to us like our classmates who's threating us like an air but Joyce is different,She treat us in a good way.
"You like her right?"Gene asked out of no where and he is standing at my back for God's know how long for I didn't sensed his presences while ago and thank's to him I caught the attention of our classmates and now they all looking at me,including Joyce and Harrish.
"You really like girls?"Joyce softly with a small plastered on her lips.
Just great!I Always trying to avoid drawing attention to everyone but now they're waiting my answer and to think of that Joyce will think that I like her and I'm a tomboy and Harrish will think I'm a rival to their love story.
I glare at Gene who's face looks guilty on what he said but I can't take the blame on him.
Sometimes Melissa and I are act and move like a boy but it doesn't mean that I like girls.
Although I admire some girls that has a beautiful faces but I'm not a tomboy.
"Xia,it's fine,we're friends right?" Joyce kindly asked with a smile on her face and it's give me relief to know that she is not mad at me.
I slowly nodded at her for i don't know what to say and when I looked to Harrish,his eyes are staring at me earnestly.
Those eyes made always made me feel I'm drowning at the bottom of the sea,so deep and hard to read,As if he was talking to me through his eyes and can't resist starring on it.
"You okey?"Melissa whisper to my ears that pulls me back to my senses and now she is standing infront of me.
"I think so."All I could say and on that moment our homeroom teacher came in and ready to teach us his lessons but my mind was still on his eyes.
