The first part of the love trilogy of Oskar and Aaron with the next part titled Something Like Fall and the last one - Something Like Spring.
Summer of 2013, southern Poland. Young 12 years old boy named Oskar is at the end of elementary school. He'...
There it is...September! I met new people from my year, most of them are nice, but there are few guys who seem to not like me very much. One of them, Andrew, is really hot, tall, athletic and has dark eyes and dark short hair. He looks like he was 18, whereas he's only 13 xd Poland it isn't like in USA or UK- that each subject I have with different persons. I have all lessons with the same people, each one. It was like that throughout the whole elementary school, it is the same way now and it will be this way also in high school. So each grade is divided into a few groups with 20-30 persons each in Poland. What's really cool is that I'm in the same class with 10 persons whom I was for 6 years in the same group in elementary, including Paulina, Claire, Sebastian, Damon, Justin, Aiden, Tobias, and Cristopher. Jessica whom I know is also with us, but she wasn't with us in the same group in elementary. Unfortunately, Kinga and Martha are in separate groups. During each break, the music is played from loudspeakers hanging on the walls. It's really cool! One of the songs that had been played today was "Burn" by Ellie Goulding. For now, I'm getting along most with old friends from my previous class, like Jessica, Damon, Sebastian, Justin etc. However, I think I made some initial friends with some new people from the same group like Natalie or Jacob. Aaron in the meantime is actually 14 and just began his second grade at this school. Walking with boys during breaks on the corridor me and Aaron come across each other sometimes and he always smiles at me, shakes my hand, and says hi! He's really sweet and I noticed that he's quite popular among girls in school, including my friends. Natalie during a boring lesson gave me her diary so I could read it, don't ask me why xd And what caught my attention were numerous mentions about being in love with Aaron Brzozowski and how he doesn't notice her in school so she thinks she should probably give up on him cause she doesn't have any chance. Damn, girl!
Being one time on my "beloved playground" behind my old school- yeah, I broke the ice and went there for the first time in a long time- Paulina, Susan and Alexandra were gossiping about Aaron that "he's not tall but he's really handsome". I also found out that... Kinga is in love with him, so I chatted with her on Messanger with that and she answered me "Yes, maybe. And what's with that?". I replied that "Nothing, but I just wanted to know". Damn, he really got all these girls chasing after him. I also think that he's cute, but as I said- it's over with boys! Now I'm thinking only about girls! But I still can't get over the fact that it'll never work out between me and Magdalena, or me and Beatrice. Being in elementary, there were moments I thought that.. stop! Such beautiful and cool girls would never fall in love with a guy like you! But they were my first loves and I still feel a strong feeling whenever I think of one of them. But they went other schools, had many friends when we were together in school already, and right now they probably are making even more friends! It's over! You had your chance, but you wasted it! It's time to move on! Why do I always have so many problems with starting over? Other people my age seem to not have any problems with ending relationships, beginning a new school, making new friends, whereas for me- it always takes time to get used to a new situation. I always want to keep these good times, like elementary as long as I can. I can't just end something, which was so amazing, forget about it and move on. Others do that and don't have any problems with that. Maybe I should do the same. I think I'm too nostalgic. Yeah, I can't get over the fact that this is over between me, Peter, Beatrice, Magdalena or Cristian. We have been, or rather, had been good mates (with Peter) for a lot of years, and now when he started new school he doesn't try to keep in touch anymore. I mean, I know I'm not the center of the world, and that all of us are right now during this transitional time from elementary to secondary school and there are a lot of changes. But I chatted him on FB a few times or tried to ask him out, but I'm not blind to not notice that he's just...not interested anymore. Hey! I still am with the same 10 persons from elementary in ONE grade. Normally, doesn't get better than that.
What surprised me the most was the fact that every week during P.E. lesson we go to...the swimming center. I was sure of my swimming capabilities as I had been learning to swim in Spain alone during every vacation. However, during our first swimming lessons, it quickly turned out that I'm just...weak in swimming. It's worse- I can't swim at all, and all of the other boys are at least on a medium level if it's going about swimming. I have no problems with swimming forward but this b*tch (sorry, "my beloved P.E. teacher" :) ) is telling us to swim on our backs all the time. And I just can't do that. Sometimes she lets us play water ball and this is my favorite thing to do during these lessons. Well, maybe there is one thing more... taking a look from time to time at Andrew and Damon in their swimsuits. Agh... no, wrong! That's just a joke. I'm not a fag! NO WAY!
For the first time, I study school objects like biology, chemistry, or physics, cause in elementary we hadn't had that. It was all connected to one subject- environmental education. I have to say that chemistry and physics don't really appeal to me. Out of all these science objects I like biology the most, especially the unit about pregnancy, human body evolution, sex etc. We'll be doing this in spring or something around. Right now we learn about photosynthesis, plants, and animals and it's HELLA BORING! The teachers are quite good! I hate technology, cause our technology teacher is really sharp and makes us do all these complicated operations and calculations on various programs on computers I can't do at all. Paulina also is stressed very much about this object and we both hate this teacher. I hope we won't have lessons with him these entire 3 years of junior high school...Changing the topic, we don't say "junior-high-school" in Poland. We call it "gimnazjum", so it's more like "gymnasium" or something, but it appears to me that the term "gymnasium" in English is more associated with these ancient Greek schools for men or something. I dunno!
Anyway...so far so good. I'm really enjoying my time in the gymnasium. I miss some people, but I still hang out with Damon, Justin, Sebastian, and Tobias after school. I ended up watching The Last of Us gameplay. It left me...wanting more! I sympathized so much through the entire history with Ellie and Joel. I think that what Joel did at the end of the game when he took Ellie away from that hospital and killed all the soldiers...he did the right thing. They were rude towards him right from the start and didn't even let Ellie know that they were going to get a cure by killing her. They are the bad people, no Joel. After all, he didn't want to kill him. He was just trying to get to Ellie, and they, instead of letting him do that started shooting at him. He just protected himself! And still, people feel like they have a right to judge Joel as an egoistic and horrible person! And Fireflies? What they were trying to do- to get a cure killing 14-years old and killing Joel, even if he didn't do anything to them...was that right? No. It's like they wanted to kill Aaron xd He's also 14. And I **** him! I wouldn't agree with that! The Last of Us is so beautiful graphically. I sank into this world completely losing my head! The Last of Us isn't just a game. It's a life-changing experience! And I can't wait for The Last of Us 2. It's probably going to come out somewhere in the nearest few years, I'm sure of that!
Anyway, my mother is going back to Poland for good the really next month. Finally, after over 10 years. We'll be close physically to each other again, and there will be no need to miss her all the time as I did for the last years. I can't wait! My new friends like Natalie or Jacob are also great. Maybe I'll get a chance once again to hang out with Aaron. Who knows. After all, we come across each other all the time on the corridors, but we never do anything more than usual hi-hi and pass! But I don't want to focus on that! There are too many good things going on around in my life right now to just base all of that on one person! I love my new school! I love 2013!
