Samantha's Diary

July 1, 2013

First monday of the month. 

The same day I start with the school service.

Larissa and Christina managed to convince me that 'The school service is very fun and convinient'. Well, thats not how I see it. School Service is for obnoxious rich children who have no independence or what so ever. But that's only my opinion, hope nobody gets offended.

I pulled on my clothes and decided to walk to school. Its not like I have anyhting better to do anyways. As I walked, I began to recall the past things that happened so far. I was bored on summer, I lost my cat (bless that creature for it was the only thing that survived with me for three years), last June 22 was my dog's death anniversary (bless that creature too because it was the only dog on earth that can understand my mood and also my emotions), I met Red, I began talking to Gary again, I was elected as Educational Chairman, and that's pretty much it.

I stopped walking for a second. Last year (even the years before), I barely talked but I was a good speaker, I read and write. I guess I was kind of hatching from an egg or something. I was so quiet and shy but now, I'm sad to say, a peppy twelve year old who can get along with everyone and transform from a serious leader to a fangirl who is crazy as hell in a matter of ten seconds. It must be the hormones. Sean, my friend since second grade, noticed and asked if I was okay. I answered with a yes smiled wide. Too wide, which only made him laugh and shake his head.

I smiled at the memory. Maybe I wasnt meant to be a shy turtle, maybe I was a happy friendly and confident bunny after all.

I really know why I'm bitter towards this, but its really just not my thing. I just scared that I'll get used to it and I'll just lose my sense of independence- is that even possible? I really just dont want to be that dependent.

I tugged my vest closer to my chest as I dropped of the attendance record at SAO (Student's Affairs Office). Walking towards the parking lot, I quickly spotted Larissa and Christina and sat with them.

I expected this whole thing to be as normal as possible but then I felt it. Crawling, on my legs. Then pain, the kind that is so sudden that you can never ignore it. I glanced down, and saw big red ants all over the floor and my legs. My eyes widened. They were huge. Then I did the unexpected.

I screamed.

Let me tell you this, I rarely scream. As soon as I felt biting, I couldn't help myself. Just a few seconds after my first scream, the rest of the girls followed. Talk about echoes.

Apparently, our driver, who we call 'uncle', parked next to an anthill earlier. I didn't even notice. And what a great way to remember my first day in school service. When I got home my whole body was itching. After I took a shower, I just noticed my thighs and they were red. Like really really red. With small little bumps appearing all over. Its kinda like allergy. Its not the worst though. One of our servicemates felt something bite her in the lower areas, making her scream and taking her pants off, not caring if there was a guy in front of her. She was wearing black boxer shorts so I guess it was safe to keep your eyes open.

I dragged out a sigh as logged in to my facebook. Gary and I bumped into each other this morning, believe it or not that made my day.

I smiled at that. A few years ago, I saw him as a weirdo with crazy hair. Now, I see him as.... I don't really know, but the word 'different' works.

I've always dreamt of meeting someone, falling in love and getting married. But now, it suddenly changed. I mean, now all I can think of is school and having fun. You only live once right?

I just uploaded one of the photos I took last month. I wasn't the one for selfies, that was Meg's job. But maybe just one won't hurt. I decided to catch up with my book when a notif from facebook caught my attention.

"Meg Starlight and 15 others liked your photo"

My eyes widened at that. Honestly? I have never had that many likes before. My mouth hung open slightly as the number increased. It stopped suddenly then I was met with a notif that made me blink twice.

Gary liked my photo.

Oh my god. What is air?

Then it was followed by the most shocking thing ever. "Red Williams liked your photo".

I fell of my bed when that popped up. Oh forget oxygen! I don't even care right now.

I pulled my pillow and pressed it to my face, screaming as loud as I could. Gary kept liking my photos before but I have never felt THAT. Ya know? Butterflies? I must be out of my mind. I felt my skin get hotter as I continued to stare at the notif. Hit me, I must be dreaming.

Damn, what has this boy done to me?
