It was a hot and sunny Monday afternoon. It's the Municipality's founding anniversary. I'm with Zlyghter as always. We are eating Italian style Beef Burgers while drinking a Big Quench Pineapple Juice. We're waiting for Jhin to come. Which we don't expect to arrive. We agreed to play computer games. We went to the nearest internet cafe and played DOTA2. It's been a long time since the last time we played it. We got bored and went outside to have a walk in the park. It's so crowded anyways, nobody can notice us. Zlyghter was also expecting Winter, her one-and-only lady to come. So we both waited. We kind of got bored from walking and eating and decided to sit down. A hand tapped Zly's shoulder from the back. It was Winter. Smiling sweetly as usual. I got lonely because they're talking to each other so I decided to call Mysty to go with her to the theme park. Well, she was already behind me. She pats my head which made my head turn. She exchanged it with a big smile. We told Zly that we're going. It's already 5 in the afternoon. No sight of Jhin as expected. We went to the theme park. There are so many rides. Mega Swing, Ferris Wheel, Mini Coaster and the most famous...Vikings. They say it has the power of showing the real man in you. With powerful back and forth swings that can make you throw up all you have eaten. With that, it made its name 'The Death Ride'. It isn't that deadly as everyone was telling me. It just makes you feel dizzy. Me and Mysty rode almost every rides in the park. Then, it was time for her to go. I had fun with her. After a while, Zlyghter and Winter arrived at the park. We took the Mega Swing which made Zly feel super dizzy. We stopped at Seven Eleven for a quick snack. After a few minutes of talking, Akemi, Jhin's girlfriend showed up. She was waiting for Jhin like us. That guy's gonna get a beating when he shows up. It's already 7 in the evening. We were drinking Root Beer. Jhin showed up. He was smiling. The innocent face...the face that hides the true evil behind. It makes me want to not punch him in the guts. "Sorry I'm late." he said while scratching his head. He admit where he was wrong. "You're 7 and a half hour late. Where art thou?" I asked him with a cold tone. He told us what he did the whole day and we understood his side. After a few chats, we part our ways. Winter went home, Akemi and Jhin went to he park while me and Zly went to the internet cafe for another game of DOTA2. After the game, I looked at my phone to see several missed calls and text messages. It gave me chills. I was scared. I don't know what to say to them. I went home. Mom was at the door--angry. I rushed to my room upstairs. My phone beep... new message. I grabbed my phone and read the message from daddy. "Sorry so, because of what you did, you're transferring school next month." the message said. My tears run down to my cheeks. I can't leave them now. I'm already having fun here. I already had friends that care.I just can't. I lied on the bed. I noticed a white shirt on the side of the bed and grabbed it. It was our class section's shirt. "Thank you guys. You all have a place in my heart." I said crying. I don't know what to say to my bro's. I closed my eyes and hoped for a resolution tomorrow.
