First day in Chung Ling Private High School, was in form 4, it was
like a new beginning of a second chance to be a better person than before, no
more games, no more fooling around and only books. Went into class just like
that, settled down on an empty seat behind of the class. Saw a new girl just
like me as she was new in this class too. I looked at her and she looked at me,
both were strangers together in a new world, just like that. Wondered what her
name was and curious to know where’s she from, wanted to talk to her but I
didn’t as class started not long after I went in. Form teacher introduced
herself, she was new in the school too, her name was Wendy Wong and she’s from
Sabah. After that, we were ordered to stand up and introduce ourselves to
everybody in the class; we took turns to do that. The girl stood up and
introduced herself, her name was Lim Jia Rou and her previous school was Penang
Chinese Girl’s Private High School, the reason she came here was also the same
with mine as she didn’t want to take the private school’s exam (UEC). Suddenly,
saw the monitor walked in to the class, a female, looked like a good student,
dressed well and assisted the teacher well, gave me a really good impression.
After the first two periods was recess, the bell rang and everyone went out of
the class except for me, her and some of my classmates. I sat there quietly as
I was kind of shy, I looked around the class and I looked at the people around
me, then I saw Jia Rou, she was sitting about 2 to 3 rows in front of me and
was close to the windows on east side of the class, I guessed she just enjoyed
the morning breeze and sunshine. She turned around and looked at me and I
looked at her, but she didn’t react, I guessed she was shy too. Jia Rou was a
really shy, soft and obedient person judging by her appearance, and her looks
was not bad either, many people went to her and tried to be her friend,
especially for guys. After a few weeks, a new guy attended the class, I thought
he was new but the truth is, he was a student here and the reason he didn’t
attend class earlier was because he had chicken pox. He sat together with the
class monitor, I thought they were both couples so I asked one of my classmates,
the answer was they were just friends. After a while, only then I found out
that the guy was actually a girly type, that is why he only hanged out with
girls. Day passes by, I started to make friends with my classmates and started
to fit in into everyone. After a month, I knew almost everyone except for Jia
Rou, we see each other every single day and we never react after seeing each
other, we never talked, how weird was that. After some time, a new guy came,
his name was Ding Jian, he’s from a high school that I was supposed to be in,
which is the high school of my primary school, SMK Chung Hwa Confusion. He
talked a lot and he likes to make fun all the time, in a short while, he knew
everyone in the class already. He gave me a really bad impression as he took
one of my stuffs from my pencil bag without my permission, I didn’t even know
him that time and he could just take my stuff like that, his attitude was
really bad. But in the end, we became good friends and I don’t know why, he’s a
showoff actually, he said he got 6 A’s out of 8 in PMR and was really proud of
himself. He told everyone all about his stories and stuffs, saying he had 5
girl friends at a time and saying how good he was in this or that, but I think
he just made most of them up by himself. After some time, only then I found out
that one of the girl from my mathematics tuition centre was a good friend of
his in his previous school, then I asked her a lot about him, but there was one
thing which surprised me the most, it was Ding Jian’s previous results, he said
he got 6 A’s in PMR but it was a lie, and that time I was so stupid to even
believed him. The next day, I made a fool out of him by telling the truth in
front of us friends, I think he;s kinda pissed at me, but I didn’t like him
that much either, I just hanged out with him all the time but I don’t really
trusted him that much. We have fun together with few of our friends every day,
like a bunch of monkeys, jumping around and being crazy in class. I started
forgetting the determination of being good, then continuously, I became worse
and worse as I started ignoring my homework, not listening during class and the
worst part is, I started playing online games again, but not as crazy as
before, but it still affects my studies and all. I became really bad that time,
due to the influence I have among my friends, as they were the only ones which
I can enjoy being with, I don’t really feel happy being with my family that
time, so I rather be with them which is really a bad thing for me. I started
being disrespectful to teachers, I started skipping activities class to go to
internet cafes and I started bullying people in class, I was a really crazy kid
and was kind of infamous too. After a few months, Ding Jian stopped hanging out
with me and started hanging out with another group in class, he thought them
skills on how to get a girl as Ding Jian himself was a playboy. He ditched me
just like that and every time I asked, he said I’m the one who ditched him and
left him alone all the time, I wasn’t really angry when he said that as I
didn’t like him that much anyway so no point trying to get him back. But I
still remained hanging out with few of the same old friends we used to hang out
together, they were all into basketball which I don’t really have any idea what
they were talking about, but i won’t feel that I was abandoned as we joke
around together all the time, and also we did crazy stuff sometimes.
Continuously, my results were bad throughout the year as I didn’t really have
that much intension of my studies anymore as it was getting harder and harder
which I couldn’t catch up. At the end of the year, the teacher said if the
average score of our final exam doesn’t exceed 50%, we will be moved to the
second class with the students which have really bad grades. The results was
announced in the long term school holiday, some of our classmates are unlucky
as they have to be switch to the second class, Ding Jian was one of them as he
became worse and fooled around all the time as he mixed with another group in
class, he was even crazier than me, I felt sorry for him. My score was actually
less than 50%, about 48%+ but I have to remain in the same class as I was a
science student which there was about 10 in total, and only the first class had
science class so I was excused from being in the second class for that reason,
I was lucky. Until that time, I haven’t even spoken a word to Lim Jia Rou
throughout the whole year although we were in the same class. During the
holidays, I continued playing Maple Story to keep me occupied, if not I would
be dead of boredom, and that was the end of form 4.
Form 5:
To be continue….
