Friends to keep

The first day of school wasn't that bad and good for me. Well in fact, I went to school that day with my friend/classmate in elementary up until junior high school which is Jodie. Actually, we never intended to be classmates but I admit that I wished to be with her and she also did the same. Because of that, I never thought of thinking "aww I feel so sad 'coz I'm alone." When we entered the room, everyone was a bit quiet. It's not what I expected of course. We've been talking for days or even a week in a group chat even before the first day of school came. We got to met friends there so I expected we'll just going to have a mini meet up here but it seems like everyone is still not that comfortable enough to start a talk.

After minutes of the boring silence, well some of them are talking but still it's quiet, the teacher came and introduced herself. Well after that, she asked us to do the same. You know, the typical first day of class setting. As we introduced ourselves one by one, we got to know each other. From a boring silence a while go, it turns to a wild jungle wherein everyone was laughing out their lives.

Weeks have passed and everyone made their own circle of friends. While here I am still not that comfortable enough to start a friendship with new people. That's why I'm with Jodie everytime. After a month, slowly I got to meet new friends. It was Erica and Naomi. Although they still have their own circle of friends individually, we got to bond and in that moment, I completely felt comfortable.

Months have passed and I'm still blessed that I met these two. I met some like Joel, Dominique, Dado and more. We used to share our lunches together every break time. That's how we became much closer. Funny thing is, our favorite game which is "Chain reaction" led us to a more closer state. That game was so fun to play and we sometimes forget that we are actually friends because we tend to lose patience everytime we lose. Indeed, we consider that as a challenge to test how strong and steady our friendship is. Until now, January 9th, I'm still thankful that I met them. That I became friends with them. They are a gift thrown from heaven char hahahahaha. Eventhough, Jodie's still my favorite buddy, I love the thought that they became part of my life as well. At least now I can say that senior high school wasn't that useless and boring. I alearned that frienship doesn't go as fast as a speeding car, it'll take time. I also learned that there's nothing wrong if you'll do the first move to make friends. It's worth it if you meet someone like my friends. That's it. For me, that's the biggest thing I want to treasure here in my stay in Technological Institute of the Philippines. Stay positive love you ghorls.
