She’s so original in her black lipstick

Guess what? This afternoon I wrote the first short story since sixth grade. I wrote it in a notebook, the way I used to do and I think it’s quite good. I got inspired during P.E. this afternoon. P.E…can you believe it? I hate sports, but this afternoon we had to do a ten-minute run for the Philippine Physical Fitness Test. As I was running I started getting all these random thoughts and the moment I got home, I wrote a short story about it. I was asked to submit a short story for the school’s newspaper on Monday but I’m worried that they might think that it’s too depressing or whatever. Not that it’s a depressing story but you never know with these nuns which is conservative and which is not. I dunno…you be the judge.

I’ve become quite good friends with the people Annie hangs out with. I like hanging out them a lot because they’re funny, intelligent and opinionated. My barkada is completely falling apart now. Glyka doesn’t spend time with us anymore, choosing to be with Dina instead and I don’t really mind because her crowd’s not really my type anyway. Michelle chooses to be with Patsy rather than with us. And Denilou is hiding something from me…I ran into her just before P.E. class and she told me she “found something out”. I could tell that it was something that concerns me and that it wasn’t good news and I begged her to tell me but she got pissed and maintained her silence. Isn’t it annoying when people leave you hanging like that? I hate it when people hide stuff from me. I really wish she would tell me cos I feel like I deserve to know. If it’s people saying bullshit stuff about me, I wouldn’t get offended because they’re trashy people anyway and I bet I’d be a million times more sucessful in life than they would be. The only people in my barkada I’m okay with are Maricris and Angelica. I need to broaden my horizons and make friends with other people. Soon, I think my barkada and I will go on our own separate ways. Isn’t that sad, the way people change and grow apart from each other?

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again…I can’t wait to go to college! I more or less have my future planned already and I can’t wait to leave my sheltered high school world and experience the real world out there and meet all sorts of people. My degree is still undecided at the moment, either Comparative Literature, or Creative Writing. Decisions, decisions…but at least I have another year to think all that over.
