2 How I Met My Friends Pt.1

I met a lot of new friends just by liking them. I didn't know that in my school there's also quite a lot of ARMYs. The first person that I've got to know is Ji An. Actually, we've been to the same primary school but we are just not close to each other. I mean like we know about each other's existence but we are too busy to even acknowledge each other. We got close to each other during Form 1. That time we had the same Moral and Etiquette class together. This class is the most boring class out of all the classes that I had in school. We must get good grades in order to be able to talk in this class. For our teacher, as long as you get an A then she won't be bothered about you. Whether you want to talk, sleep or eat in the class, she will just turn a blind eye on you.

Ji An and I are the type that just doesn't want to listen to class although our grades are not that great anyways. When I first met her, we were so awkward towards each other. At that time, we don't even have anything common to talk about. It was until she heard me talking to the girl beside me about BTS then only we started fangirling about them. Who knows that one day fate would play with us? I go to school by bus. One day, my bus driver took a different lane to go to another person's house. I was thinking that maybe someone new is going to school with this bus too. I was shocked when he stopped in front of a house and I saw Ji An. I almost started laughing because who knows that fate would try to bring us closer. From that day onwards, we sat in the bus together to and back from school. Guess what?? We had so much things in common. Not only liking the same group even our attitude is almost at contrast with each other but I don't know how we can get along so well. Through Ji An, I get to know Offa. She's another crazy person. When she and Ji An sit together, they would start making some corny jokes that always makes me laugh until my eyes brimming with tears.

Being friends with Ji An I think had been a blessing for me. I've always been yearning to have a good friend like her. She's the type of friend who would always let you cry on her shoulder. Even when we go for morning classes, the way we go to school change a bit so we didn't get to spend time together. But we still go back together. Since Ji An just lives nearby my house, her mom agrees to send me back home. That makes our friendship grows stronger. After school the both of us would start gossiping and talking about school, the people around us and BTS. There's never one day we don't talk about BTS. It's like the both of us is always in our own world and no one else can interrupt us when we are talking. That's about Ji An.

Let me talk about another person which is Hazel. Hazel and I became friends during Form 2 and the funny thing is that I don't know how we got so close. I always felt like I have this bond with Hazel which can't be describe. Hazel's life is very pitiful but I've always been by her side. At the end of our Form 2, her mother passed away and she didn't come to school for 2 weeks. I was so worried about her because I know how close was her to her mother. The worst thing is that she found out that her dad had another woman outside when her mother was still alive. At first when she came to school, she didn't want to tell anyone about it but I begged her to tell me. I just couldn't stand seeing her being sad. In my eyes she had already been like a sister to me although she's just older than me by 9 days. During Form 3, she had been absent frequently and she always need to borrow my homework so that she could catch up. Everyone in class is always talking bad about her and I don't like it.

When Hazel comes to school, she had to withstand the social pressure from our classmates. I protected Hazel with the name of the student council because I am a part of them. This makes no one dares to bully her. Most of the time in class she would either be daydreaming or doing something else. I didn't know what was bothering her until I ask her after class. Since there was a free period after Mathematics class, Suzanna will be taking over our class. She took us to the library and I know that was the best time to talk to Hazel. When Hazel told me the reason why she was being like that in class, I was really angry. Those people dare to bully Hazel and slandering her with fake gossips. They were saying that she's very healthy and she was just faking her sickness.

They didn't know that Hazel had thalassemia. It was being transfer down because her mother is also a thalassemia carrier. That was the reason why she's always sick. There was this one time which I don't know why the biggest clique in my class got into a fight with Hazel. I think they were just trying to make me stay away from Hazel. I stood by Hazel's side and fought with her. No matter how bad they talk about her, I would never believe their words. That's because they were the same person who had hurt me before. I hated them with passion and know they make me hate them more by hurting Hazel. Hazel video call me that night and she didn't come to school the next day.

One of the bitches of a classmate ask me how come Hazel didn't come to school today when she was healthily video calling me yesterday. I was too lazy to answer her and just said that Hazel was sick. I bet they think that I was stupid. I am not. I trust Hazel. She would never lie to me. It's true that she's sick but not on the outside. She's silently hurting on the inside. How cruel can they be to accused Hazel like that? They could actually give me tons of reason to hate them. I just ignore all their accusation and continue being friend with Hazel. For me being friend with her doesn't brings me any loss because a friend did not cost you a single cent. A good and strong friendship is not something money can buy. Those people who are in a clique are the ones that buy their friendship with money. I bet their brains are as small as bird's brain because they didn't realize such a thing. I really had a good time laughing at their stupidity.
