It was a wednesday. A day before our recognition day. A day before we leave junior year and proceed to our senior year. A day before I leave my Alma Mater. A day before I finally bid my farewell to UIC.
This day started normally, for me. It was my typical wednesday morning. My boring wednesday. I was following my daily routine of total laziness and balderdash activities. *2fuse-taptap-eat-2fuse-eat-taptap-eat-eat*
I wasn't expecting anything indelible to happen actually. But... *insert flashback effect*
My friend Ann interrupted my hardcore game of 2fuse for she asked me to accompany her to the comfort room. We stayed there for about 10 friggin' minutes. She just stood there and adjusted her skirt for the space in her uniform shall we say, couldn't accommodate every part of her , uhm, tummy. Let me rephrase that, her skirt became tighter as a result of her time to time eating activity. And after a thousand years of waiting for her to be finished, we finally decided to go back to our classroom. As I was about to go up, my friend Aljun passed by. He was looking at me weirdly and so I asked him if he was okay. He told me he was perfectly fine and suddenly grabbed my hand. He too, asked me to accompany him. Dle sa cr ha. hahaha. He asked me to go with him for he'll buy some snacks at the school canteen. I was hesitant for I really wanted to continue playing 2fuse. I think he read what was running on my mind and so he told me he was gonna "libre" me. That word really got my attention. I eagerly went with him downstairs. But, upon reaching the ground floor (char guma ground floor), he told me he'll just drink water at the fountain instead. I was really disappointed. So I told Aljun that I'll just go back to the classroom. But, he insisted that I should stay first. I asked him why and he replied with his excuse "Last na bitaw nimo ni, bonding dapat ta." I was convinced. Few minutes later, my friend kat arrived. She was quite mad for we left without telling her where we were going. Another minute passed, Eizu too, followed us. So the five of us (Ann, Aljun, Kat, Eizu, Me) stayed there. Doing nothing. After a decade, I thought of going back to the classroom. The four of them walked right after me. And as I was about to reach the third floor, Aljun held both my hands and Eizu covered my eyes with a blindfold. There, I knew, what was about to happen next. They led me in going up the stairs. And when they removed my blindfold, I was in our classroom. No one was around. I was on a seat placed at the very center of our room. They even played emo songs. Hahaha. I was awkwardly sitting there. Yelling lots and lots of "I Hate You's" For I really don't want emotional activities char haha. Then, a classmate of mine entered. She was coming towards me, teary eyed and smiling. My stupid and weak body gave up immediately, I burst into tears even if she hadn't even started talking yet. And then others entered the room too. All of my classmates and close friends. Each and every one of them had their goodbye and I will miss you speeches. *insert a bucket-full of tears here* After our shall we say, crying session, the boys asked me to dance with them. I felt like I was in a simple version of my very own debut. *end of flashback*
I really am grateful for having friends like them. I wasn't expecting that they'd exert effort to prepare that mini farewell program for me. I was really very happy and words aren't enough for me to thank them. I love you everybody, I WILL REALLY REALLY MISS YOU.
