2016

Things went well, I guess. This will be our last year in grade school. I still joined a lot of dance competitions that we found and won every single one of them. My dad never stopped supporting me as well as my sister. As for my mom, she allowed me to dance again since I got the second highest grade in school. Guess who got first? It's her.

Nabi and I became close since that milk incident. Well, I'm still shocked by her and her personality. She started hanging around with me and my friends but most of the time, it was only the two of us. I found out that she can do ballet and is now working on some new genre in dancing. She's very talented that I can't even count how many things she can do. Since she also loves dancing, we started hanging out in my dad's dance studio. I still can't forget how much they teased me for introducing her to them. As my friend.

It was Friday and she told me that she wanted to ditch her driver because she doesn't want to attend a party. She was complaining about how fake people can be when it comes to money and business. Yes, she told me her life story and how she got to live here in Japan. Her mom remarried a  Japanese man who owned a car company a year after her biological father died in an accident. Her mother also has a cosmetic company that she inherited from her grandparents. Her late father was a musician and that's where she got her talents from. She can play most of the instruments we have in our music room at school. Also, her late father was the one who encouraged her to start dancing when she got caught by him dancing in their balcony alone.

Anyway, we sneaked out early at school and took a bus together. I found out that it was her first time riding in a bus and it was very funny. It took us 15 minutes to reach my dad's studio. We found my parents there which was very uncommon on that time because my mom normally spends her time at home with my sister. I wasn't prepared to introduce her to them as my friend since I haven't even mentioned her. I was shocked on how quickly they got close with each other. That was also the day that I found out how amazing dancer she is.

At school, I must say that we are rivals. We always do a dance battle every P.E class. We also competed in every academic class. One day, our dance teacher played some music and asked us to do a dance battle. I was not that confident when it comes to freestyle but still tried my best to show how great I am. While doing some moves in front of a classmate, someone pushed NaBi in front of me like they wanted us to do the battle. I still remembered how quickly her expression changed from a shocked and shy girl to a smirking confident dancer. Some did not expect anything from her and thought it was just for fun but when the music changed, she didn't even wait for the next beat of the song and start dancing. Take note, it was just all freestyle. Everyone got shocked on how she danced gracefully but powerful at the same. Everything was unexpected but amazing. At the end of class, I admitted my defeat and our classmates started complimenting her. Some even named her as the Dance Queen of the school. However, she couldn't get escaped from being the new target of the bullies but those were eventually got expelled for some reasons. What I hated the most were her admirers. Not because I'm jealous or something, but she always use me as a shield whenever a guy wants to talk to her. Well, I'm the one who will talk to the guys first and if that guy was not good enough, he wont even see her shadow anymore. Valentines used to be exciting for me for getting chocolates from people but it got messy when NaBi came to my life. I would never want to eat chocolates anymore after getting all of them from her admirers. NaBi has an allergy to cocoa but doesn't know how to refuse from getting them. I felt so abused.

I haven't met someone like her who can do everything, though. Dance, sing, play instruments, name it. She can do all of them. Even cooking! She sometimes asked me to eat her newly discovered recipe and it was heaven! This is unfair. Well, life is.

Going back to my parents, they already love having NaBi when she visited our house. She hang a lot with my mom in the kitchen. My sister also admired her from her fashion and style. NaBi just started to have her own clothing brand and planned to start her own clothing business after highschool. My dad always asked her to be in his dance studio. Last summer, we both held a dance workshop and donated the money to an orphanage near us.

I was very grateful to meet someone like NaBi. Despite from her wealthy family, she was not that kind of spoiled brat you can see in a movie. Instead, she spent her allowance wisely and saved some for the poor. She even forced me to play as Santa one Christmas and gave presents to the street kids. She doesn't like to eat in a fancy restaurant or even shop in a mall. She was very kind and thoughtful to everyone. I still haven't seen her getting angry even at once.

We spent our last year together like that and planned to attend the same school for the next 3 years in junior high.

We became best friends after all. But most of the people teased us to date since we were always together. We did a lot of dance workshops every summer. Many people from my neighbourhood knew her since she sometimes tagged along with my mom to do groceries as well.

For the 3 years of our friendship, I haven't heard her mentioning her parents except her late father. She could always find a way to change the topic when I asked something about her mom or her stepdad. I also haven't visited her house since she got always picked up by their driver every time she visited my family. What I only knew was after when she first came to our house, she was absent for school in 2 weeks. But she never wanted to mention it to me.
