My Online Diary

August 30, year Drama finally came

  Ok, so y'all wanted drama, so this week is basically the pinnacle of it. I'll just start with what happened on Friday, then move up from there.

So these past two weeks of my new prestigious academy I met this girl named Avocado, who asked me for money to buy some water at the nearby store before school started. I said yes, and that's basically how I got to know her. But that incident happened last week on the second day of school. Ever since then she basically asks me to go with her to refill her water bottle since she didn't have anyone else she knew in that class that would go with her. From there I got the impression that she was a very geeky, awkward, fun person. But that was until Friday, when I saw another side of her. It was about the beginning of third period when I noticed that she wasn't acting like herself. Afterwards I saw her crying. When I ask her what's wrong she tells me about how her best friend, who she's known for years, had been avoiding her like the corona virus, and today she went up to her and asked, "Are we not friends?" And of course, from the way she was telling it to me, it's obvious how that went down. And what made it worse was that the girl didn't just say no, but she simply didn't reply and walked off. I felt that. Her friend wasn't in my class so I couldn't personally confront her, but I would've despite the fact that I've only know Avocado for two weeks. Later when she asked me to come with her to refill our water bottles, it felt so strange. Instead of her usual fast pace she had a slow walk, and was silent for at least half of the trip. When she finally starts talking again, she asks me, "Would you do something like that?" I answered no, but for some reason, I hesitated. I know for a fact that I would at least answer someone if they asked whether I was friends with them or not, even if my answer was no. I don't if it was just because I was hearing this from someone that I barely knew, or if it was the side affect of that sick feeling I got in the pit of my stomach from hearing that heartbreaking news. But I hesitated. And I hated the fact that I did that. I don't know if that moment changed Avocado's impression of me, but I hope not. I think that I need to be the friend that will be there for her. And when I do, I'll make that ex bestie be nothing but a shadow of the past, because I will be the light Avocado needed.

Ok, before m the Avocado incident, on Thursday when I went home, we got updated on that house we wanted. The call assured that we were gonna get it, and everyone celebrated with chicken adobo and rice. But the next day while I was at school, my parents got another call that said that the deal got canceled last minute. I was devastated. Then this morning, Mom had a chat with one of her Filipino cousins, who happened to be a doctor in Cebu, Philippines, and works at a hospital known internationally for being one of the best. And, before I continue, I think I should add some last minute exposition: My Mom, has this sickness, and here in the US the doctors are wanting her to use this well known treatment, which would usually be fine, except my dad is really not willing to let her do it because even though the treatment kills the sickness, it's also pretty bad for the rest of the body too. Dad used to be a special forces medic in the army, so he knows about some alternative medicine that is proven to be just as affective as the common treatment. But unfortunately, Mom's doctor is not as willing to use the alternative, and as far as we know insists on using the common treatment. Now, back to Mom's cousin. She talked with them and said that if she was able to go to Cebu, she'll be able to get treated there with the treatment Dad wants, and also be closer to some of her other family that she hasn't seen in awhile. Unfortunately, there are only two options: 1) Mom goes to the Philippines alone, meaning she'll have to spend almost a whole year without seeing us, but at the same time allowing my brothers and  I to continue schooling. And option 2) Everyone goes to the Philippines, but we're gonna have to do school online. Mom is terrified of the first option, even though she does want us to finish the school year. But unfortunately, the second option means I won't be able to go to school, and, as you heard about the thing with Avocado, is something that I feel like I gotta do. But I have to say, I'm very willing to go to the Philippines if Mom says we need to, because I won't go to school if it's at the expense of my own mom. I need to do what is right, and I know I'll find a way to help both Mom and Avocado through this hectic year. Also, if we're gonna go, the soonest is gonna be in October. I still need to find an affordable plague doctor mask...

Last thing. On Tuesday is CJ's first day at the new college, which happens to be related to my school. It also happens to be 100x more strict, as in, CJ has to wear shined shoes and a suit and tie. Welp, I'll make sure to update on that next week...

This song is for Avocado, and I assure you that everything will be better soon.
