"High School is all about fun!" I still remember my mom telling me that before I get my ass to being a freshman and entering a new chapter of my life. I just knew it, I know it will. I did expect much attention from the people around. Maybe senior guys who would come and ask for my number. Or perhaps a name, a name when heard people would just back off. But I come to realize those were just illusions, and they waste your time. So what's the point?
Have you ever heard of someone who's part of the crowd and suddenly dragged himself out of it? Well, say hello. That would be me. Most high schoolers dream of becoming the prom queen or prom king. Or maybe the it guy where girls would come after him. Or maybe be the muse of the whole school. Fascinating isn't it. Most of them want popularity. Why am I writing this, dear reader? Why? Well simply because maybe you are blinded by the so-called fame. It's never too late.
I found the real essence of high school during the first few weeks of my senior year. Well, at first it didn't came to me. To be honest, I'm part of those students who cling too much and thinks that fame manipulate the student body. I didn't realize it, not before I was voted out and didn't make it to the list of leaders in different organizations. I was so bitter at first. I didn't know what people are thinking of me. I don't know what labels they are coming up with. But I'm pretty sure,
if I ain't that bitch, I would be the sore loser. But my friends didn't stop encouraging me to do something that is still in my hands. I got good friends, I've realized the beauty of being a normal student and not worried about the issues that would come. I'm free to be me.
I've realized that real people are still around. They won't just make your high school days worthwhile. But one thing I'm certain of, they'll be around when you needed them the most.
