It's a week before graduation. Not sure if you can tell or not, but i am excited as hell. I will finally graduate after three years of junior high school. Time flies.

If you ask me about how do I feel about junior high, i can't really explain it. It's complicated. One moment i feel like it's a piece of cake, i will graduate easily with excellent scores blah blah, and one other moment i feel like giving up and getting the heck out from school.

There's always bittersweet, and that, my friend, is how i am able to stay here. It turns me into a stronger person, a better person, and a more mature human being.
I'm able to face lots of bitter moments and deal with it, and I am able to be sweet to others and appreciate people's presence more.
It makes me think wisely about all the problems I have,how I should handle the situation, how I should solve them without making other people mad at me (or at least they understand me), there are lots of things.

But, the most important thing is YOU, you have to enjoy everything you do in your life.  If you have to do something, do what you want and what you like. If you have to choose, choose what you think is the best for you.  If you have to decide, decide what matters to you.

"Bella, is this the dress you're gonna wear?" My mom asked me, holding the white dress whilst looking at the details.

"I don't know, I'm still confused."

"C'mon, try it."

She gave the dress to me and i try it, i also try to find the matching accessories.

"Hey it's-- pretty good actually," I said, looking at my reflection in the mirror.

"I told you so. You know, i have an idea. We can cut the long sleeves so it doesn't look that bad."

"Sounds like a plan. Mom should i wear the headpieces?" I asked because I'm not sure, my style is kinda different compared to my mom's. I like to hear people's thoughts, though.

"Let me see." Mom took all the headpieces i have, then examines each and tries to match it with the dress.

"I think this one matches the best," She said, holding a sparkly silver headpiece with pretty little chains, hanging around as the details. So extra.

"Isn't it too extra?" I speak my mind. I actually really admire it, it's just my insecure and conscious self debating whether i should wear it and be a little extra or not wear it and just wear a simple headband. If i wear something that i feel is "extra", people will see and say something like "She tries too hard", "It doesn't look good", i don't want it. Nobody wants negative views from people.

She looked at me and furrows her brows, then says,"No of course, its your graduation, you can wear whatever you like! And I'm sure your friends are as festive as you, maybe even more."

She's right. It's my graduation, i will have to look my best, for sure. "Okay mom, thanks for your help!" I grab the hairpiece and put it in a little box. I also choose a pair of long earrings and put it above the little box.

Time to slay and kill 'em hoes. Or at least i think so.

"Hmm... White or pink?" I muttered to myself while I'm holding two bottles of nail polish. And yes, i do my own nails. My mom didn't allow me to go to a nail salon, "it's a waste" and "you're too young" she said. Rather than not agreeing and argue more, i decided to stay at home and try to use my brain a little. I need to decide how should i paint my nails.

"I got it!" I say happily, then started to paint my nails, finally, with a white nail polish. It doesn't take that long for it to dry, but i need to be careful with it because i don't want to smudge it and do it all over again. You know, when you erase a nail with the cotton, the cotton and the acetone will somehow stick to your other fingers and eventually ruin them all. So you'll have to redo your nails. I hate that.

Once I'm done with my nails, i go downstairs to eat. Food's gotta be the priority, anyday, anytime. I open the dish cover and my dinner is revealed. I see a plate of omelettes with sweet sausages mixed in the egg mixture, and there are Ngohiong rolls that have been cut into a centimeter width. To make it easier, you can think of Ngohiong as Chinese Meatloaf. I and my whole family love chinese food, they tastes nice and their portions are usually big, the prices are also cheap too. Fair play. Beside it there's a plate filled with sweet honey chicken and french fries. A liter of orange juice bottle is put in the middle of the table.

This is probably the nicest meal I've ever had this month.

Grinning like a five years old who has just got a bag of candies, I scoop two spoons of rice from the rice cooker and dump it on my plate. Then i took half of the honey chicken from the plate, two pieces of omelette, and three pieces of Ngohiong on my plate. I filled half of my transparent pink cup with orange juice, then i pray and start eating.

"This is delicious!" I said to myself, eating like i haven't eaten for three days.

I quickly finish my food and put it into the sink. I'm too lazy to wash it so I'm just gonna wait for the other family member to wash it. Then i enjoy my cup of orange juice while playing my phone, scrolling down my gallery to find a picture to post.

"You're a mystery; I have traveled the world, there's no other girl like you, no oneeee," I sing loudly, dramatically, enjoying the music playing from the music app. I love Ed's songs so much.

After around three minutes jamming to the song, i continue searching for an insta-worthy picture and eventually find it. It's a throwback picture of me and my friends in an amusement park. The lighting was perfect and our faces were blessed with the rich sunlight from thousand miles away. Beside me, there's a 5 feet tall girl, pulling a silly face and peace sign as her pose. It's Lacey, my bro. I mean, my best friend. And then there's me, wearing a purple polo cap and black knot-tied tee, laughing after seeing Lacey's face.

I proceed to edit it a little, and post it with the caption "#tbt w/ my bestie! Good times.". After that i go to the refrigerator to take a big carton of yoghurt drink, and go upstairs to binge watch Fast and Furious, I've always loved that movie.

There's no one else in the house other than me.

Perfect.

I settle myself in the nicest position ever on the bed, and while drinking my yoghurt, i press the play button.

HEY FELLAS!!!

It's been a long time since i uploaded the first chapter. "5 months for a chapter? Why you gotta take so long??!" The answer is terrible. I procrastinate too much (i know, excuses) and school is kind of overwhelming. BUT here's the good news! I still don't know my finals scores, but I can guarantee that it's all gucci! I'll just have to wait for my report card, then i can enjoy my christmas holiday peacefully.

Uhh finally.

Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter and stay tuned for the next chapter, i do hope to publish soon because i don't wanna keep you all fellow readers waiting.
Love you!!
