True Friend

About thirteen years ago I, I was accepted in Guangyang Primary School.
I was the fat kid that everyone hated.
I was left out from a lot of activities that kids do before school, during recess time and after school.
I always wanted to be a prefect back then, but there was no support from any of my classmates.
I wasn't a total loner.
I had a few friends but they were the kinds who came and went.
I was quite smart back then and that is why, I believe, kids befriended me.
They came and borrowed my homework and copied my test papers during exams and for awhile I had the luxury of their friendships.
And then suddenly, they backstabbed me and made others dislike me.
There was this one girl who made my life back then a living hell.
She love bitching about me and thus made all my "friends" leave me.
That bitch was called Diana Rahmat.
However, there was this one girl who never left my side.
She was this quiet skinny girl who loves playing with my long hair during class when she was sitting behind me.
She often accompany me eat during recess and invited me to play hopscotch with her friends beside the school garden.
Even though she left during halfway through Primary 4, she was and still is my bestfriend.
Somehow our parents got close too and we were like families, closer than our own relative.
We know each other inside out.
Nothing was a secret between us.
Back then I was the bossy one.
Usual things have to go my way.
Even though I was fat, I had nice big pair of eyes and I was very cute thus I get more pretty compliments than her.
I was also always smarter than she was.
I aced every math tests while she never seem to be able to pass them.
Her mom always nag at her to be as smart and studious as i was.
I know that irritates her but she never showed it.
I never help her feel better coz I love boasting my grades to everyone I meet.
Since I was the smart one, her mom somehow trust me more than her own daughter.
Even during secondary school, her mom only allow her to go out with me and not her friends.
Come to think of it, under the circumstances she faced during her childhood and her teenage years, i aint better than Diana Rahmat.

Now that I am able to think better, I wished I could take all that away.
I wished that she was as smart as i was.
I wish that she never felt that I overshadow her at all.
But I guess God has his ways with all of us.

Its funny how true when people say, "What goes around, comes around."


Now things have changed.
In my perspective, she the one overshadowing me.
From that quiet skinny girl, now she has blossomed into a beautiful lady.
She has almost flawless skin and those deep dimples which never fails to attract people from the opposite sex whenever she smiles.
She always get compliments from everyone about how beautiful she is and she's always in the limelight.
She is working now, earning her own money.
Therefore, to the parents, she is the one who is more adult than i am.
She is able to do more adult "stuffs" which I cant since I'm still schooling.
Since she's the eldest daughter, she has to do housework, take care of her siblings and work at the same time.
Thus, she's always seen as the more responsible one.
Now my dad trust me more whenever I go out with her, rather than when I'm with my friends.
She has also learnt to say "No" to me whenever she feels like she doesn't want to do it my way.
Unlike last time, now she knows how to stand up for herself and for her own principles and beliefs.
She has gone along way since that quiet skinny girl and I am proud of her.
Despite whatever I said, I am really happy for her and I truly love her as she's the only bestfriend and sister who's there for me whenever I really need her.

I don't know what is the point I am trying to make here.
I just wanted to let this out.
No hard feelings whatsoever.

Ok back to my assignments.
