Special Garbage

Living everyday like everything is just useless; now you're on the point of putting yourself in a trash can and everyone start to call you – "The Special Garbage."

A girl named "Hara" had her first crush at the very young age. She was 16 years old that day and found a skinny slim white handsome tall boy who made her unfocused yet inspired of her studies as well.

Early morning in the 1st day of class. Hara was walking through on the straight rough cemented pathway. She was very full of energy and excitement made her look beautiful.

While she was heading through to her room, she has sighted a skinny slim white handsome tall boy that made her stop from walking. She looks at the guy like she wanted her too much. And a loud sharp painful shouted her pinkish ear.

"Hey, Hara. We had the same section. Yehey!!" Vera said. She was my best friend since grade 7 and we are still classmate.

"So, let's go besh." I replied to her excitedly wanted to see our new class room.

Hara forgot the boy who had her attention for a few minutes "in love moment" in her life. After she had her morning class, they took a few miles walk to the outside of the campus to buy their snacks as she was expecting to see her crush on the sidewalk.

The expectation turns into hunger and the feeling of failure since she hasn't saw her crush and she buy lots of dark brown tiny round shape chocolate in a small open store of different foods and snacks. She completely eaten them all like there's no tomorrow as she wanted to forget the feeling she was carrying.

"Goodbye Teacher and may God bless us always." As we all say goodbye to our big fatty wear eyeglasses old lady teacher and classmate. I furiously pack all my untidy school things so, I can go home early and get full of time to rest. After I done packed all my things, I immediately go out with my curly black skinned long nose beautiful best friend Vera. Vera and I have different barangay, so Vera walked continue straight and I walk turning to left where it is heading to my village.

Along the way, I saw my short black hair beautiful girl childhood neighbor and I asked her if she knows a guy who is skinny slim white handsome tall boy on our school.

"Do you know a guy who is skinny slim white handsome tall boy on our school?" I asked her shyly.

"Oh, yes. His name is Lenard. Why you've asked?" she replied with matching pissing on her face.

"Nothing important, I'm just asking because he is unfamiliar to my eyes." I replied defensively.

"You know what, I have his cellphone number. Do you want his number?" she asked me seductively.

Of course, Hara took the golden opportunity to get close to her crush. After she arrive to her home, she changes dress and start to text Lenard. Hara text Lenard first and wait for a few seconds. She didn't fail this time. Lenard replied unknowingly who'd texted him. Hara was very thrilled violently as she throwed her cellphone on her fluffy white bed. They continue chatting each other until the sun hide out from the slowly turned to dark horizon.

Until two days of exchanging text messages, Hara got Lenard's heart for the very first time. Hara was very happy all the time like you can't take it off – unbreakable smile as I can describe her face. She can't put down her cellphone for a small amount of time even in the middle of class and the lunch time. She was very crazy about him. She was out controlled.

First Saturday of the month of July, she'd decided to take a stroll at Lenard's barangay. She rides a yellow three wheeled – tricycle. When she arrived, she walked straight to her best friend Vera's house.

"Tok, tok." Hara knocks the door twice and Vera opened the bamboo door.

"What are you doing here Hara?" Vera asked out of her curiosity.

"I miss you that's why I came here, is it okay?" Hara lied her best friend for a reason she wanted to saw her boyfriend.

Hara stayed for couple of hours. She spent her time watching TV shows and eating green mangoes with her best friend. Hara enjoyed the quality time they've spent together but she can't take off the real reason why is she here. Until they've heard a soft sound of dibbled ball on the old basketball court just behind Vera's house. So, Hara take a quick peek and she saw a skinny slim white handsome tall boy no other than her boyfriend Lenard.

"Oh, that's why you're here." Vera asked with a sadness on her voice.

Hara can't answer Vera directly but she finds a way to escape her best friend. She said, "let's watch them played basketball Vera." And Vera nodded to show her best friend agreeing. They took a few steps to the basketball court and watch Lenard and with other boys playing. While Lenard is playing, he took a blink looking to Hara's eyes and throw a killer smile. Hara felt an electrical energy flows inside her veins from her legs to her heart - romantic excitement.

Another smiling sunny fresh day, Hara woke up excitedly. The first thing she do, she grabbed her cellphone aggressively and send a text message contenting "good morning yam". Yam is their call sign as for the millennials use to have call sign for a couples.

She really loves Lenard with all her heart and soul. Hara waited for an hour and she is acting panicking because Lenard usually reply her text messages immediately, but now it took hour for a reply. She started to think negatively; is he having another girlfriend, does he don't love me anymore, or is there any bad happen to him. She texted a lot of text messages countlessly.

Two to three weeks of not communicating each other. Hara cries like a fountain of sour water every single teary night. She starts to absent twice, thrice a week. She couldn't bear to accept the fact that Lenard doesn't love her no more. Her academic performance badly affecting her too much and her parents starts to ask their daughter "what is happening to her." Hara's parents couldn't bear to see their daughter acting so weird and feeling kind in a depression.

Next day, Hara attended her class after she finally can go to school. Vera is running towards where Hara is. She hugs Hara very tight like a predator who don't want to lose her prey. Hara starting to draw a cute little smile on her face as she can feel the worries of her best friend. She shares lot of story about how they been together and how they broke up.

"Good morning class." The teacher released a first sentence of starting their morning class.

Their big fatty wearing eyeglasses old lady teacher give them a task. For they are going to make a "legend story" about the thing printed on the book. Hara was very restlessly excited to do the legend story as it was her favorite subject; Filipino. When the teacher gives the sign to start doing their task. She quickly gets a yellow long paper and a black inked pen and start to write down.

You can see the inspired happy beautiful fresh broken-hearted lady on her face. When the teacher noticed them that they are having fun of writing their task, their teacher decided to take their task as an assignment.

Tomorrow morning, they start to read their legend story that they've made. Hara's teacher facial structure is not quite glad of hearing their stories. When the 3rd group read their story, her teacher's facial expression stays the same. Until the 4th group which is Hara's group. She stands confidently and walk in front of her classmate also her dreadful old teacher.

When Hara started to read the 1st paragraph, her teacher facial expression starts to change from horror to romantic excitement. She was very glad while reading the legend story seeing everyone likes her story. When Hara finish reading her story she'd made, she received a loud salvo from her classmates, friends, groupmates, and especially from her teacher who are very proud to her work.

You see, we can't please everyone to stay at our side. We can't hold anyone's life nor living with them especially when we are still at the very young age of having an early relationship. Take consider everyone's advice and take it positively even when their thought is negative. Learn from what your mistake. You can't change what happen in the past, but you can still change your future that is still ahead of you. Always remember who came first before who came recently.
