3 years... was it really 3 years?! It really didn't feel like 3 longs years, but rather, it felt like it's only been half of that time. High school passed so quickly, I couldn't believe it. Jr. High, now that really felt like 3 years, elementary felt like 12 rather than 6, and to my surprise, I didn't even THINK too hard about not returning to the same school after a small summer break... because I just can't believe it, 3 years! It's really been 3 years!!
I first went to W-high school knowing only my close friend, S-chan and a few others who I used to go to jr. high with, and I didn't talk a lot with. Knowing only a small handful of people, I breathed in my anxieties and walked into the school doors.
Just today, I breathed in my tearful goodbyes and my loneliness of tomorrow, and walked through the school doors, to the outside.
I really thought I would cry, like honestly, no joke, I thought I was going to cry. But I didnt, because even after the water fight, when I had to say my final farewells to friends, I still couldn't believe that I won't be walking through those doors next fall, waving to the people who sit around our table, plop in a seat, and start dozing (lol).
Reailty is, I still can't really believe it. These past 3 years had been full of fun, epic, games, exam anxieties, study times, gaming times, meeting new people, waving to people in the halls, and all those great things... Thinking back, I can't say I had a second where I thought- 'I don't want to be here...'
My first friend was A-chan in Social Studies. Our teacher, Mr. K told us we had a pop test on the first day of Social Studies 10 AP. He also told us we could work together with another person, and I thought- If I don't look for someone NOW.. I'm screwed...
It was then that she looked back and I looked at her direction. A-chan is a quiet girl who suffered the same problem as me- not being exceptionally good in social studies. She stuck with me all through my 3 years, and we're still good friends now. She's my worry buddy and has a locker right beside my own.
K-chan I met in Japanese. L-san is a old friend of mine from Jr. High, and she introduced me to K-chan on the first day of Japanese 10. I remembered the first thing she said was, "I don't bite... much..." X3 She's still my good friend today. We just had a waterfight together too! It was exceptionally fun!
I met various other people from just the 2, and before I knew it, I made a whole group of friends, all from different grades and all are very nice. They all helped me when I needed it, and they always manage to cheer me up. Thinking back, Fate is a funny thing; who knows if the next person we pass by on the street won't end up as a good friend of ours 2 years from then?
W-school was definitely the right choice. The people I met, the school's undying spirit, and the fun the staff all are, it was an amazing experience of ups and downs (more ups than downs) and an unforgettable experience. I don't even want to face the morning on the last day of exams... I'm afraid, afraid that I'll have to finally realize that there is no tomorrow for me in that school anymore... everything has to come to an end.
Thank you everyone, I didn't expect the great fun I would get from W-school. When I went there, all I wanted was to change myself and to get away... but I didn't expect it would become a home for me like this. <3
Until we meet again, when the string of fate bonds us once more,
