Goodbye And Hello

The same thing happen all the time, new kids come in the picture to replace the ones that left us behind, everyone got along perfectly, people acted goofy, wacky, and happy and no one shed a single tear. But as the end of semester grew nearer, everyone was dreading…not because of the exams or report cards….that wasn’t on all our minds. The thing was…. When we moved to another grade, mixed up friends so they won’t be together any more but with a butch of strangers that never got along. When that finally came, we all said our goodbyes n said have a nice holiday. Every single day that past we say,’ holiday is almost over…here we go again’. The freedom of no homework comes to haunt us again but seeing a friend will fix everything. Entering the school building, you feel like a new kid all over again. Feeling a little out of place for a while till you see your best buds and give a hug or fives. Walking up those stairs, looking down that long hall way, seeing those doors closed hanging all the names that proves if your prayers have been answered. You feel fear of being separated by you friends; you take a breath and look. You don’t care about others, but yours and your buds. Some time you are together but one or more are leaving to the other side of the wall. Every person that walks through those doors you say,’ Why you! Why can’t be someone else!’ or ‘I wish I was in the other class,’ but beggars can’t be choosers. As the first bell rings, things go silent for a while. You want to say something…anything to break the silent but nothing. Over time people will be more comfortable and relax a bit. Now the real adventure begins...but not the way you thought will turn out to be.
When you thought everything was going great, someone just had to pull the breaks. You seen everything that happens that you wish you were back home or grade 7 again.
Enemies were made
Friendship was push to the limits
Happiness replace with anger
Bonds we broken
Lies became stronger
Truth was fading
Stress took over everything that was easy
People are changing before our eyes that brings the common,’ what happen to you?’
The happy music that kept playing through your life before stop and you were left in complete and total silence. Sometimes you wonder what went wrong, how the smile that you had before was gone and you really don’t know why.
But one day everything turns around…. You enter the school thinking its going to be a terrible day (again). Yet the air feels lighter, the sun seems brighter and that music starts playing again. You run hoping this is no dream, you open the doors and you heart stops beating.
Enemies were friends again
Friendship made it through
Happiness showed again
Bonds were fixed
Truth became stronger
Lies was losing the battle
Everything became clearer again
People are changing before your eyes, but the one who change the most was you and you didn’t realize till someone said,’ I know I’ve change but you did also…’
Hearing this brought that old smile to you face again that you thought you lost forever. People you thought you never get along with cause you guys don’t have nothing in common, became best buds the next day. You bump into a stranger in the hall which ends up being the one you go to for some advice or make you laugh, you join the school team meeting so many people that have so many stories to tell and you being the listener, friendship were made with teachers with a big heart that they let you have party or free class once in a while, boys and girls got along with each other and they don’t care what people or teacher say (they been through this before), so many amazing stories that you done with your long time friend or someone brand new. Even though we are separated to two classes and the only thing blocking us is the big wall. Until you hear the bell ring, and burst out of your classroom. You see all the new and old faces again and tell/listen to all the things that happen in their/your day. When a bond is made nothing or no one can break it. Not now or ever. Even if I’m a A and your a B or in a different grade it doesn’t make a difference. People will come into your life while others will leave but the memories will still be attached. And when your on top of the world your realize exam is around the corner (again). The same thing runs through you mind like always, but this time all the friends you made will be together again even if in different classrooms. People will leave.One story has ended and a new one is beginning with more kick in it than the last time. Grade 7 was great but I say grade 8 was way better and I hope that grade 10 will kick grade 8 and 7 memories out of the waters. All this will be a memory that will be locked away in our heads and hearts for a very VERY long time.
