Short Story: Achieving Success

Untitled Story Part

"Nerd! What's with your face? Omg can I ask, is that even a face?! Hahaha"

"Yeah right, an ambitous creature who thinks he fits in our school!"

lots of students are laughing at me but I don't mind it. Because I'm already used to this. So I decided to just pass and ignore them. But there's a girl who shouted at me.   "Are you gay or just plain stupid?!" I'm shocked on her words. Because I thought she's different. I became more shocked when she went near me and pointed to those students who're making fun of me earlier.

"If you don't want to be kicked out from this school, better leave Gudo alone! Because starting this day, he's my friend! Got it?!"

Wow. The students who bullied me, say the word 'sorry' to me and hurriedly went away. Just wow. Did you see? Did you see how people in this world became so unfair? If people like me who're ugly and cheap, they'll just treat us like a trash, while people who are pretty and rich, they'll treat them as if they're some sort of a royalty.

After that incident Sandara is always with me everyday. Ofcourse I'm shy because of what happened last time! Instead of me protecting a girl, she's the one who protected me! We treated each other as bestfriends and just enjoyed each others company. Whenever in times of happiness or sadness, we're always just here for each other. Because of the moden living here in Metro, she teached me on how to take care of my physical appearance and how to be presentable to others so that there will be no one who'll attempt to bully me. She supported me in my work and my study until we graduated. I graduated as the Zuma Cumlaude in our batch while Sandy is our Magna Cumlaude. When I decided to go home and visit my family in our province, she really begged that she wanted to go with me too so that she'll meet my family.   When we get back to Manila she also introduced me to her family and recommend me to her family to be one of the workers in her family's company. Ofcourse I started first into a beginner and when time passed by I already achieved a higher position in the company because of ky hardwork ofcourse. Seven years since we became friends, I'm lying if I'll said that I don't have any feelings for her since we all know from the start the she's my crush. I know that we're not match since she's rich, beautiful etc. while I'm just a nobody. That's why I just make my feelings secret until now because I also don't want to ruin our friendship But there's really a time that I can't take it anymore and I really wanted to confess and in lucky side she also confessed that when she met me she also had a crush on me.

"You got my attention because, no matter what other people say, you don't let anyone to bring you down. You just always keep calm and you'll just ignore them.. That inspired me" she said.
