Days Like These

Greetings, readers, if any.

Well, straight to the point, on Tuesday after school I was so busy talking to Fajar and Umar and Cania that I delayed my presence at the Photography club. Hamzah was being his stressed self, just like in the CC outing we had last month, ordering me to 'come on' and hurry up. When we reached Sabbagh had 1 more pass and it felt like some trivial game show. There were so many girls. But then 2 boys came over and she decided to put us all in the waiting list. I doubt anyone would quit though. Carisa got the last pass. Cania went over to Magazine but I wasn't bothered so me and Hamzah went home. I wasted life in CC and didn't get the shoes I wanted 'cuz my mom disapproved of the checkers design. Padahal keren banget.

Wednesday was a really good day. 3pm onwards however, I felt like a mess. After school, after checking out everyone's reports, I was frantically deciding whether I should take after-school Maths or not. Hamzah said that if it's for the sake of my exam then go, so I did. Fajar told me Adam wanted to teach him to play the guitar and I asked why not Umar and he said Umar is not bothered. Great friendship! I wanted Carisa to join meh but she had to go home.
On my way out the Girls' Block I saw Umar talking to Owen and Fajar. When Fajar saw me he offered to punch fists that have our rings on 'em. He wears it everyday like myself, and on the ring finger too, cept me on the left hand and he on the right.

We 3 walked together from the Boys' Block 'til the Masjid, Khalid and Hafizh and Fadhli way ahead of us, for we took our time and lasted the moment of an uncommon trio [Me, Fajar, Umar]. They told me about Music club, how Adam decided to jam with Arif instead of teaching him, so all they did was watch or something. It was funny, and I think they did jam gestures XD I asked Umar to play Your Guardian Angel but he kept failing 'cause the guitar slips on his pants. He tried though. Fajar was singing the 1st 2 lines, 'When I see your smile, tears run down my face', and his voice sounded nice. I haven't heard him sing since May/April. Afterwards I decided to hold the bottom of the guitar for Umar and we walked as he played for a bit, Fajar on my right blabbing away. That was still at the edge of the school's fence.

Then they talked about teachers, how Earl has a nasty temper but Umar likes the scarf she wore yesterday or something xD. Then suddenly me and Fajar talked about our sok-secret group 'Us' and our enemy 'Them'. Fajar asked Umar if he is part of 'Us' or 'Them' and Umar was like wtf are you guys talking about? and we explained how we are in Us, bla3. So after asking again, Umar decided to be with Us. Yay. From that white building onwards, we had a stupid discussion of something like whether we say 'Them are' or 'Them is', things like that. Talking with guys is so carefree.

I sat down in front of the entrance in wait for them to finish, working on my Chemistry. Beforehand, I thought about how I loved what happened just before we landed in the Masjid. I wanted more happy moments like that, because at school I always feel alone. I don't really care about that anymore - used to it, but letting time pass just walking and talking together with my special friend and a far-to-reach one makes me feel so belonging.

I looked up and saw Fajar tiptoeing to me checking if the car is here, but I got the impression he was wondering what I was doing 'cause he looked at the paper on my lap which was study notes and asked 'what's that?' before going back in. When they were done I showed Umar a song through my mobile but that's when the car came. Tante Ita told me Om Hanif is gonna be joining so I'd have to sit at the back later :D Umar started strumming in his guitar playing all sorts of songs and I listened. Tante Ita is a big fan of YGA XD We all sang, and she sang along too. The conversations were mostly about performances i.e. Umar playing in Int'l day or something and Fajar [or any other good singer] singing.

At the office we had to wait like 15 minutes, but it felt like an hour. Fajar was singing Kisah Cintaku to show Umar and so did I. He said something about how he'd need an electric guitar to play this 'cause he has acoustic and that's when Tante Ita offered Umar to buy one. 'Impress your father', she said, with those ESQ fist cheers. When the man of the car came, I moved to the back and Fajar borrowed my mobile to listen to stuff. I was drawing and listening to them talk, occasionally commenting. The entire trip was focused on Children's Shows. It was such a stuuuuuuuuupid convo XD They sang the theme song of Barney and talked about how gay Tinky-Winky is for having a red purse, how they thought Noo-Noo is like an elephant, Steve's green clothes. We even said the indonesian translations of Dora the Explorer XD Sigh, so fun. It was destroyed when Fajar replied Om Hanif with a critical comment and a relaxed face.

That's when the 'Dia Rela Banget' entry comes in. It's understandable right? So I don't have to explain. At home I felt miserable and didn't bother enough to study, just immersed myself in MSN chats. I had a meaningful one with Fajar, and I was grateful so my sorrow ended.

On Thursday I felt neutral, was kinda excited for Badminton though. But after school turns out there wasn't any due to AS Exams. I walked with Fajar to the arch and talked about greenbag, disappointed. The convo stopped abruptedly with him having a sour face but we continued walking side by side anyway. Later on the wannabe Badminton-ers had a discussion and ordered each other to ask someone. Fajar was dragged by Iwan to go home before we even had the chance. Hamzah told me to ask and I commented him about his wimpiness and all. He, I, Umar and CC then looked for a P.E. teacher. When Firth appeared Umar rushed over and asked. Sigh, he looked like a hero.

After that me and Hamzah walked to Nisa and Farah and talked about something, on our way to the car too. In that vehicle I simply listened to music and stared out the window, as what I always do, except for that Wednesday. MSN felt really lonely [prolly 'cause Fajar didn't say anything] and Hamzah was being lame and Matar was occupied with stuff. But then Farah invited me to play outside and so we did. We saw a picture of a 57 year old tall man in the newspaper and wanted to show the guys but didn't bring it along, sadly.

When we got to my side of the compound, Fadhli, Hamzah and Fajar appeared from behind Nisa's tree. My brain suddenly recalled the past, and I was overwhelmed for being there. The weather was cool and I didn't need my sweater at all. We called Umar and Khalid out and stood in front of the Isyna household talking about height, me and Farah explaining the newspaper picture and comparing Fajar to him. XD I think my comments stabbed that guy though. Eventually the subject of kempo came too. Everything was all random from there, but I was just really glad to play outside with everyone again. We are older now, so Hide & Seek or catchers isn't really our thing, but well, as long we're together, I don't care.

Maghrib rose and me, Farah, Fajar and Khalid talked about Khalid's mysterious PM whilst traveling [sp?] home. Then Fajar went home and we showed Khalid the newspaper picture XD Then on the way back to my house, we showed Hamzah and Umar. I attempted to do some Chemistry but also chatted, enticed with my Arya convo, and Nisa's [which she said entice was a long word]. I slept at 10 I think, woke up at 6:20 [dammit] and the normal life cycle starts again.
