"Heyyyy Jennie!!! Come and play with us. Exam is a month to go, let's enjoy while we have time?" Roseanne asked Jennie with an excited voice while Jennie who is always with her book, studying. Roseanne thought ' Is it true when people say that there is no friend loyal as a book?? Well, I'm a loyal friend to Jennie. I knew Jennie since we were in kindergarden, she never really enjoy reading. But why is she so into a book today??' Jennie just shook her head not wanting to excrete a word. Roseanne then pulled a chair to sit next to Jennie thinking that Jennie might be facing any problem all alone.
"What's up? I mean what's going on? Something happened? Any problems?" Jennie just shook her head. " c'mon Jennie you know that I've already know you so well and so long. Do you know that from my eye I can scan your face? When you're sad, when you're happy, when you're bored and any expressions? Share with me okay? Spill it out and I'll hear everything out." Roseanne said as she tapped Jennie's shoulder, right as Roseanne said that she will hear everything out makes Jennie heart feels so touched for having such loyal, loving, affectionate, patient, good listener, crazy, gedik and a perfect friend. With no wonder Jennie dropped a tear.
"Heyyyy...don't cry... I'm sorry cause I forced you, please don't cry.." Roseanne said feeling guilty because forcing Jennie to share her problems. "It's my parents Rose..." Jennie said with just a small voice but it was able for Roseanne to hear her words out. Roseanne didn't want to interrupt because she knew Jennie had more to say-"M-my parents... They have been fighting for days, I'm scared that they will get a divorce..." Jennie wiped off her tears and smiled to Roseanne,"Thank you Rose, for hearing me out. I know it's just a small problem." Jennie said and Roseanne replied it with a very lovely hug." Jennie. Please remember, you can make a difference. It's just a worthwhile, you are loved. You smile is a symbol of hope. I promise. I promise to do whatever I can just to make you smile." Roseanne said hugging Jennie tightly. Roseanne pulled out the hug-" Now do you feel better? Wanna' play?" Roseanne asked as she lift one of her eyebrow.
" KRING-KRING! KRING-KRING! KRING-KRING!KRING-KRING!"
The ball rang showing that it is already time for the homeroom teacher to enter their classes to start teaching. Roseanne sigh-" Maybe next time.. Oh MY God why does this bell always rang when it's my time to play with Jen!!" Roseanne stomped there and left to her seat. Jennie just smiled seeing her best friend's childish side.
-----------------------------------------------
"Finally!!!It's lunch time!! Come on Jennie the tables going to be full!! Quick!!!" Roseanne yelled outside the classroom, wanting to rush things as she saw a lot of students already rushing on their way to the canteen-"Jennie!!! Quick!!!" Roseanne stomped there cause the time that Jennie took was to long."Sorry, let's go" Jennie said as she raced to the canteen and Roseanne followed her back. They were the last students on the line, the line was to long ,taking them a lot of time just to eat lunch.
"Roseanne! Jennie! Here!" Lucas yells their name showing them that he already took lunch for both of them knowing that they would be late again. Roseanne felt relieved for having an understandable friend other than Jennie. Lucas, Mark and Wendy they is. " Jennie took time?" Wendy asked while holding her fork looking at Roseanne lifting one of her eyebrows knowing the answer obviously. "Sorry" Jennie said looking down. Mark trying to bring back the environment he ask-" Anyone free tonight? Movie? My house??" Wendy face palmed," Why do you ask about that now?? You know that I have classes my parents did for me tonight. Mark man! You killed my mood" Rest of the time at lunch was just laughter and smiles.
" KRING-KRING! KRING-KRING! KRING-KRING!KRING-KRING!"
School just finished. Jennie and Roseanne went out together and walked to the bus stop near their school to go home. They talked until Jennie's father stopped his car in front of them to pick up Jennie. Even when Roseanne and Jennie lives in the same neighbourhood Jennie's family never really have any intentions on sending Roseanne home as well. When Roseanne was there alone waiting for the bus, Wendy saw Rose and decided to came to Roseanne and accompany her. Wendy broke the silence-"Did she leave you all alone here? Answer me honestly Rose, aren't you sick of her?" Obviously she was referring the 'her' to Jennie. Roseanne ignoring the first question and just shook her head for the second. The second question that Wendy asked just make her feel like a fool, it looked and seemed so obvious that Roseanne just become Jennie's friend for her money.
" To be honest Rose, I never really liked her. I mean her family and also her, how can you still bear with her when you knew already that her family really hates you and your families background? Did they even know that the man who lives with you?you really do have a strong heart Rose." Wendy burst there next to Rose who was just willing to listen. For the first time for the sight of Lucas, Mark and Wendy saw Rose was crying hard, really hard at all of sudden.
" I know that I am tired, I know that I am physically and emotionally drained. But I have to keep on going. Even when I am already fed up, even when I am so close to breaking. I know there is still strength within me, even when I feel really weak I keep on fighting and trying to find and fit in the bright side. Even thou it's hard, even when it takes time, even it will break my heart to pieces, I am still willing myself to be with her cause people will never know the benefits until you decide to let them go." Roseanne spilled everything out, Wendy felt how hard Rose is trying but all she can give Rose was just a calm friendly hug.
