Farewell intro

 It's hard. It really is. How can I leave this lovely school with perfect ambiance without a single tear from my eyes?

I have my friends, my memories, my other family, my perfect room, my EVERYTHING here and i'll just leave them in a single blink? Urg. I surely looks funny in my condition right now, crying like there's no more tommorow.

This school is not an ordinary school. I don't know how the High Office came up with this. We call our school heads as High Office. Or Maybe it's because of the unity of the High Office and the students.

This is a school which you cannot even see a single trouble. Everything here is running smooth and flawless. Boys are gentlemen, caring, sweet, bookworms, intelligent, and many more characteristics that a girl wishes for. They don't drink nor smoke. Girl's on the other hand are just like me, we don't use make-ups or any to cover our simplicity, we wear decent clothes, we respect others so much and we honor God.

We do not get into relationships. We're all single. No relationship since birth. It's a part of our school to maintain our high grades so distractions are highly prohibited.

Awesome. That's how I describe this school.

Yes, we're weird but it's us. From my Grades 1-10, I already studied here. I didn't think of transferring coz I really do love this school.

Never in my life did I thought about this possibility. I forgot that this is not my place at all.

"I need to go Madam" That's the last words I'd said to our principal who's on her 60's. I kissed her hand and walked towards the door. I carefully opened the door but before I step out, she suddenly grabbed my arms and hugged me tightly not to the point that I can't breath.

"I'll miss you. I hope you'll be fine there" She made my feelings more wrecked. This is one of my reasons of not leaving. This old woman whom I treated as my mother already.

I left a single bow and smiled at her bitterly. I want to hug her again and don't leave but it will worsen the situation. I went out silently with respect and followed the way out of this school. I don't want to see them. As much as I want to say GoodBye it's better if i'll just go. I also don't want to see our building. It' s hard.

I saw our car parked near the gate so I ran towards it and cried. Am I that weak? I almost let a tank of tears.  My dad seemed too worried so he hugged me. I'm thankful to him cause I felt relieved. 

"Thanks dad" He's always like that. Hugs me whenever my grades drop a bit, Kisses my forehead whenever I can't sleep, hold my hands whenever I get nervous. He's my real superhero. I can't imagine me without him.

He's the one who entered me in this school but he is also the one who'll pull me out. Hmm. Father knows best.

"Let's go?" I want to say No but in my case, there's no way to stay. I can't disappoint my father. I can't break my promise. I can't hide from my real world.

"Okay Dad" as he started the engine. Tears are forming again in my eyes. I could see it through the mirror and can definitely feel it.

"Bye PEARL HIGH" as I glanced at my OLD school for the last time. Dad drove to our house here in California. I'll surely miss this place. The houses, neighbors, buildings, surrounding. Sigh. EVERYTHING.

Can I move on fast? Can I meet new friends? Can my world be like before? This questions keep running on my mind. Even what if's.

What if they don't like me? What if I don't fit in? What if we have big difference. What if they don't like a girl next door.

There is a big reason why Dad needed to get me out of PH (Pearl High). I'm hoping for a positive outcome of this. I hope my life will be fine after this.

It's already 9 in the morning. We are here in the airport already. Later, we'll leave. Hmm.

Leaving a place you used to live in is hard but you have to know that in every human's story, there is a big twist.

A minute after I sat in my assigned seat beside Dad inside this plane I already closed my eyes to take some rest of mind. It will be harder if I'll think and think and think.

"Philippines, wait for me there" I said in a soft tone then I entered dream world.
