THAT SOMEONE

          Having a bestfriend is possibly one of the best things that can happen to a person. It can make one feel good and assured, because you can have someone to talk to about stuffs that you like, and you can have someone who you can talk to through bad times. You can have someone to go with the ups and downs of life.

          There’s this girl whom I’ve known since kindergarten. We even have the same neighborhood, we always play with each other, we always tell stories to each other, and we always wanted to be with each other. It’s the typical friendship that a child would have. When I was enrolled in grade 2 the teacher asked me what section will I want to go, because I’m a late enrollee, then I said I want to have the same section with her. Because she is my bestfriend, I even considered her my sister because I am not living with my older sister. But unfortunately we didn’t have the same section, we were not classmates anymore.

          We were united again when we were in grade 6. Even though we are not classmates for how many years, the closeness didn’t change. I still talk to her like the old times, still bond with her, and we still always help each other. She’s still that someone whom I’ve known since I was a kid, nothing changed; she’s still my bestfriend. That is when I realize that there will always be someone who can be with me all the time and whom I can fully trust with everything.

          She’s still my classmate in grade 7, 8 and 9. But when we were in grade 9 we had a group of friends. There’s this situation that changed everything, I started doubting her, not just her but also the members of the group, because there’s this guy in our group whom they talk trash behind his back. I doubted them because if they can do that to him, it means they can also do that to me. Who knows what they were talking about me when I’m not with them. I wanted to talk to them about it but the bad thing I did was I remained silent. From that I distance myself from them a bit, I practice myself to not to seek for their presence when I want to have fun, I found myself being happy with the things I do even I’m alone, but they still are my friends. It’s just that I realized that there will be someone who can be with me, but not all the time and whom I can trust with, but with some things only.
