Another Day

'Here we are again, waiting for another day to pass. Argh! It takes forever to finish this page, It is so complicated.' While solving crossword puzzles at night, John ponders for a moment about what would his future look like.

His age is around thirteen and a half this year and for this reason he seemed a bit skinny so he tried to ask his aunt to allow him to go to gym but to no avail for a reason that he's underage.

"School is about to start, my happiness is going to end soon." John mumble after he left his desk.

"John, the food is ready. Come down now." John's Aunt said while preparing for supper.

"Coming! auntie Ana!" John hurriedly said.

Watching anime, solving puzzles, and playing mobile games are what makes John occupied during summer, time flies really quickly when doing the things you enjoy and tomorrow is going to be another important day for John, the first day of school and also his second year at highschool.

This is the only thing about his life that is more interesting than being stuck inside his room, to learn something new and to know somebody who will make his life more meaningful.

It's not that hard to have a friend, the only complicated thing about this is "which type of person do you want to be acquainted with?" Each person has different passions and meeting one who had the same hobby like you is like looking for a girlfriend, very challenging indeed.

The next day. (Sounds of rooster crowing)

(ProofReader's Note: Roosters doing what roosters do in the morning... being annoying AF).

"Oh my goodness! I think they are getting louder and louder each day! Please make it stop!" John said while scratching his head.

It's again, another first day of school and he is not that scared anymore compared to last year. While preparing his things and practicing some welcoming speech for the opening class, John is excited for this year because he might also see his crush, remember last school year? her name is Jolina, she is also the chosen class muse that time because of her being shy and cute.

(A/N: Come on let's just forget this, let the boy be stupid for a moment.)

When everything is prepared, John started to go to school. "I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready" John tried to imitate SpongeBob while walking at the school entrance.

At the garden, John met his past classmates, some of them are not his classmates anymore because all student in every section is decided by the school, so sad to say we need to let go. Some cried, well ninety nine percent of them are girls.

I'm also a bit sad because my crush is not my classmate anymore but it's fine I can just look for her during break time and also my room and hers is just one wall apart! what a great consolation it is.

After entering the room, I keep looking around for a good, comfortable and not that almost destroyed armchair for myself but I failed in the end, because the sitting arrangements are decided by our advisor.

First day of school went like this, after giving us instructions and the syllabus by our teacher in every subject which is too many to introduce, the class ended early so I'm going back home now.

Even though we've done almost nothing at school, I felt sleepy already so after doing my stuff at home I went to my wife (the bed) and fell asleep fast.

The next day.

"I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready!" The result of watching SpongeBob everyday is showing its effects and John went to school.

"Okay, attendance class! John!" Teacher said.

"Present" John replied.

While taking some notes, John ask his nearest classmate about the topic in math.

"Bro what does the teacher mean when he said that? I don't understand it that much." Asked John, feeling ashamed.

"Oh that, it's like this. Look at my scratch paper" Bryan replied while doing some unknown complicated formula.

"Oh um okay I get it" John tried to look like he understand it at all. Then after a long discussion, it's break time.

John and his other classmates approach Bryan and tried to be sociable.

"Bryan, come join us we're going to the cafeteria!" John said while trying to look like as saintly as possible.

'Come on buddy don't be shy we don't eat humans' John thought while looking at Bryan.

"Oh! Th-thanks guys, can you please wait for a second?" Bryan said while being embarrassed.

John's favorite food is palabok, hotdog & rice, hopia, and cream o crinkles while drinking some softdrinks.

"Bye ma, pa! bye little brother bembem! I'm going to school now!" Bryan said while waiting for a response (ma, means mother & pa, means father).

"Okay son, goodluck" Bryan's parents said.

"Bye big bro!" Bembem chuckled.

'What a great day!' He tought while waiting for an incoming jeepney.

At school, bryan is busy listening to the teacher when someone poke him at the side. It's John.

He ask him of what does the teacher meant while discussing something at the board, it seems he forgot what the teacher said to remember, might as well help this fellow classmate in need for goodness sake.

"Oh that, it's like this. Look at my scratch paper" Bryan did what the teacher told earlier.

Shortly after.

"Oh um okay I get it" John replied.

It looks like he still didn't understand it at all, well he finished writing down the lecture, I think he can do it by himself later.

The class ended.

"What a very hard day!" John said while leaving the classroom.

When at this moment he noticed that the other class is leaving as well, his instinct told him that his crush is going to leave right after he left the room so he look back and saw her.

What a refreshing sight! I'm fully charge, I think I'll go and greet her hehe.

"Jolina! How are you? Long time no see!" John asked feeling out of this world.

"Oh, Hi I'm good. How about you?" She hurriedly said.

"Well that's great! I'm good as well, then take care I'm leaving see you next time! bye!" John said smiling from ear to ear.

"Oh okay. Take care too!" She replied.

(A/N: As you can see, he's not that good when talking to a girl)

John went home afterwards. What a great day, studying while being inspired.
