Aloha, Amigo!
So, I got ready for work this morning and
kept looking at the high school students, as usual. There are more students
rushing to school than are workers rushing to work at around 7am. Do the
calculation yourself; One Dad, One Mom, FIVE CHILDREN.
I saw this girl on bike, a high school
girl. Flaunting her body as if… Lol, it amused me actually. She does not know
anything yet. I remembered my days in high school. (I still believe the high
school days are one of the best in life.) We were all hot and fresh, unaware of
what life really was like. Why, we just ask for school fees and Dad gives. No
one asks how Dad manages to pay. Mom prepares the food while we were still
sleeping.
We so had it smooth back then. We got to
school, and the first thing that comes to mind, especially the girls, is how to
look good for your crush or your date. Fact, school has never entirely been
about books. Sometimes, these two are different. That is, you are dating one
person while really preferring to be going out with someone else. Girls, are
you still here with me? It is not strange news for that other person to be the
best friend of your date. Lol, high school dates!
I remember my things back then. Alright, I
have always been someone with his own share of controversies, one uglier than
the other. My dates were always in the open, no matter how much I try to keep
things low-key. There were always spy to broadcast what you did secretly just
the previous day. (They deliver their own versions of the stories, of course.
It was perfectly natural for one to get lost on which of the versions is most
correct. Some don’t care; true or not, they swallow the whole rumours, hook and
sinker.) And those were my friends. Guys, if you are reading this, I should probably
punch you right now, Lol.
We used to fantasize about how we would do
stuff after secondary school. College, Career; we had everything figured out.
Out of University by 20, have a one-in-town marriage by 22, Make millions by
25. We so had it made. Then, there were those guys forming cliques. I was
always part of all while belonging to none. Many upcoming artistes started in
high school. Some are doing well today. Just not the way most thought it would
be.
We held reunions over a year ago. Gosh, we
all have changed! Eyes hadn’t been clearer. We now see life as it truly is. We
are now as diverse as we could possibly be. Different goals now. Diverse
visions too. But there remains one thing we all share:
HOW WE REALLY WOULD HAVE LOVED TO TURN BACK
THE HANDS OF TIME.
I want to say I miss these days. We, whom
are past them, miss them. If you are lucky to still be there, better enjoy it
as much as you can. It is a time you may feel right now, like getting over with,
but would really miss when it is over. Oh, I miss high school days.
What are your best memories of your high
school days?
