A Friend

I begin my secondary years in a strangers land. Port Dickson. I shall say that is my ever favorite times of my schooling years. It lasted only 8 months though. Then i started my second half of my Form 1  in a strangers land. Triang, Pahang. A mandarin speaking land that when you speak English...you became an instant super star.  I have problem communicating as i don't really speak mandarin. Of course it's different now. I guess..   .Never been there for 13 years at least. In everybody's life there must be one hero at least. In mine there's two. :) One is really my hero and the other is the one i admire.

As i recall....This hero of mine is the first guy that i have spoken to om my first day at school. Then we didn't became best friend but friend. At that time..everyone in my class is one year older than me. So in a way he became protective. Not romance but it's like this.......... He is like the head of the bad boys in school. So no best friend pat on the back.or hugs and so on but instead its the mess hair brushing on the head and he will always appear in front of me whenever i got bullied at school. You know i only realize that i am gay when i am in Form 4. So i have no clue at all about bromance At that time all i know, i have great respect for him and am grateful to him even  though he always mix with the junkies. I remember that i like to smile at his girlfriend. Though she is from the back junkie class but she has very cool attitudes. Well it's always the bravest would be with the bravest. She never hesitates to fight if the situation demands. She is also very pretty. Very modelesque.

Form 2 started and i was one of the prefect in school. This time i don't know, how come he is the one who got to sits beside me in class.. :)  Between him and i.  I am better with home works and studies. So i always unconsciously guides him to study. Imagine teaching a triad head? well sort off.. ahahah... When ever i was assigned to watch over areas like behind the toilets or at any quiet areas..i would always get disturbed by this other hyenas. Fact...apparently all these hyenas hates school prefects and they calls prefect the school dogs. Well i think it should be diamond dogs. ahahaha. Well anyway whenever such things happen my hero will always turn up. He would stand in front of me and dares those junkie to fight and then hush them away. Then after a few months into Form 2, my Hero passed away due to a bike accident.

As i recall it's a weekend. I remembered crying but i can't remember how much i cried. I remembered hating my mom for not allowing me to attend his funeral. I can't remember much of that day in detail though.  He must have been quite an impact in my life that i have to tell myself to wipe off this part of my memory of him in my life. I have not much memory on that day  at all. After that incident my studies drop from good to bad through out my secondary years.

But then this i can remember very clearly. A few weeks after that... during recess i was assigned to watch this area at the back of the school and these hyenas who always failed to bully me  actually came back. It was quite a bad feeling at that time. I am quite scared and at the same time sad. All i can do is just act ignorant to their threats. Well when you are not reacting it makes the hyena's anger grew... so they begin to speak louder and one of them begin to catch both of my arm and shake my body. So i was trying to push him off but as i am about to react  i  heard a girls voice. It was my hero's girlfriend. I know it sounds kinda funny in a way but she actually helped me out. Continuing what her boyfriend used to do. I remember that was the day i regained my smile. After that even his brothers continue looking out for me.
