A beautiful sky, birds melodious chirping and cold breeze .....Here starts my story... I am Ria, 16 years girl with no friends either in school or in place where I live. Wanna know why I don't have friends ? Well...Its a long story. Since very young, my parents have always encouraged me to study and get good grades. I do get good grade ...umm top student in my school..Even though I am good at studies and I won many competions for my school, I was never close with my classmates. There would be only two reasons for us to have interactions. First if I need help from them or I need to help them in study because teacher asked so and second when they need my homework to do because they haven't done it and they don't wanna get punished.
I was looking for someone to practice my English. I wanted to improve my English and no one in my family can speak English. I wanted to practice in school but when I tried , the students said that I was showing off my knowledge. So I didn't dare to do so. I decided to use internet to talk with people from all over the world and improve my English. I signed up for a penpal website and message to many people . I talked with them but I somehow always meet the people who are way more older than me and it was awkward to talk with them. But one day I found a profile which is very close to my age and he had written that he will accept anyone and from any where. I was really interested so I messaged him saying I would like to talk with him about his cultures and country. He replied me asking if I use any social platform where we can communicate with each other. I gave him details of my social media and after two days I got a message from him. We started talking with each other about how our day went and what we did. We often contact each other. One day I asked him if we could call. I wanted to practice English and talk with my only friend. He agreed and we set a date and time. I was really excited to talk with him and was looking forward to it. That day finally came, I was really nervous. I was so awkward at first but it became a lot better. We talked about a lot of things....I was really happy because I finally have someone to talk with and a friend. We started talking like that every week . My dad had an accident and my mom had to stay with him in hospital. I was alone with my little brother. I had to take care of him and prepare for the very important exam in my high school. I was so much depressed and stressed. I send a voice message to my friend about my dad accident. He was very nice and encouraged me not to give up . He consoled me that my dad will be ok very soon. He send me some pictures of beautiful view and sky so that I will feel better. I really respect him and like him as he supported me in my hard and difficult days. We were supposed to talk at 5 pm that day and he was never late. But he didn't came online that day. I was very sad and later at night he send me message saying he had lost his phone and just found that. I feel lot better because I thought he forgot about me. We talked next weekend. We were supposed to talk at 5 and he did not came. This time I didn't even receive his message about why he did't come. I was waiting for his message but I never got it. I sent him tons of messages but I did't get any response. I was stood up by him that day and I was very heartbroken because he was my only and very close friend.
