My weekend was not really okay. After what happen, how can I have a relaxing and nice weekend? I have been thinking a lot and worrying so much. I really don't know what I'm gonna do when the class resumes on Monday. How will I act and make peace with Sherwin and Joseph? I just wanted everything to go back to normal, forget what happen and move on.
My brother knew what happen and noticed me how sad and depress I am. We got the chance to talk in the house and tried to console me as much as he can. He promised that he will be there for me in anyway he can and will help me to get through with my current ordeal that I have with Sherwin & Joseph at the moment, although, he will not make any actions from his end to patch things up for all of us, he will be just behind me in every step of the way.
Monday came. It is the first time after a long while that my brother and I come in the class together. He has now his own set of friends in the class and from the other class too.
When we arrive, Sherwin is not on his chair and his desk is clear and empty. Joseph is not on his desk too but I can tell he is in the class because I saw his bag and some of his notes in his desk. When I reach my desk and about to sit, I saw a plastic bag in my chair. I open it and keen to see what is inside the bag. It was a stuff toy. The same stuff toy that Sherwin gave me. I did not take the stuff toy out of the plastic bag and close it back right away. Joseph comes back and quietly sits in his chair. I could feel he doesn't want to talk to me because he is avoiding to look at me. He says hello to everyone except me. I ask Sherwin's seat mate where he is and he says Sherwin is not coming to the class today because he needs to attend to some important personal matters.
Bell rings in the whole campus signalling the midmorning break. My brother asks me and insists to come along with him and his friends to eat. Actually, I wish to stay back because I am planning to speak with Joseph privately and will apologize to him. But before I said anything back, my brother already drags me away out of the classroom.
At the canteen while having our meals I saw Joseph. He is eating alone. We are always together during midmorning break with our friends. Joseph is a little bit stubborn and not so friendly person. He is rich and a bit of brat. But he loves to spoil his friends. He is very generous and very thoughtful once you have become close with him. I ask my brother's permission and our friends if I can move and finish my meal at Joseph's table. They let me go. But before I go to Joseph's table, I decided to buy his favorite pink milk tea drink.
He is eating with his heads low and I could tell he doesn't have any appetite to finish his food. He didn't noticed me when I put the drink in the front of his plate. He is not expecting that someone will give him a drink so he was startled. He lifts his head up and saw that it was me. He jumps from his feet and ready to leave immediately. I grab his arm and pull him back to his seat again. I ask him if we could talk. I did not get any response from him so I sit at the end of the table so that we could talk face to face. I start by saying sorry; that I do not mean to hurt his feelings; that I never plan about what happen; and finish my apologies by saying there is no excuse or better explanation for what happen or with what I did and I ask for his forgiveness. Again, I did not get any response from him. He stands up and leaves me alone. He also leaves the drink behind.
When I came back to the classroom I saw a note in my desk. I open the note and it says, "Do you still have my pink milk tea?" I turn around and Joseph is looking at me and gives me a big smile. I pull the drink from my bag and says, "of course, I still have it and you need to pay me back" and we both laugh together.
