In Art Class with Mr. Feroze

"Morning, everybody!! "Mr. Feroze greeted us happily. "Morning, Sir!" we greeted him back. After that, all of us introduced ourselves in front of the class. I still remembered this time, when I wanted to introduce myself. "My name is Alice Yong. Just call me Alice", I said and saw Mr. Feroze looked at me weirdly. "Sorry, Miss Yong. What's wrong with your attire and shoe? "Mr. Feroze asked. Without hesitation, a girl from behind class answered for me, "Sir, I saw her this morning". I looked to her and...and...she was...what is her name?? Susmitha? No, no. Suzzane!! Yeah, her name is Suzzane, a beautiful girl with round eyes. "Yes, sir! I also saw her. She fell on the ground!" Suddenly, a boy said and after that everybody laughed at me. And, I can hear same laughs liked when I fell. 'Oh! Now I know! Suzzane, two girls who sit beside her and that boy! They were the people who laughed at me! Yeah! I got it! Damn them! 'my heart said. "Class!! Shut your mouth! It's not kind to laugh to your friend", Mr. Feroze said. I just smiled at Mr. Feroze and looked to my classmates and I saw Mark smiled at me. So good...Actually, after I saw his smile, my anger blew away. Oh!! Mark!!! You made my day.

For our first day, it was not too bad. I got to know their names and remembered their name quickly. Yeah, it was because every class we have to introduce ourselves. Oh! Remember that two girls who sat beside Suzzane, they are Lucy and Angel. Lucy has brown straight hair and Angel have black hair. That three girls have fair skin that makes them look so gorgeous. And the boy who saw me fell is Gerald. Gerald is a tall boy and yet fair skin. But, he can't win over Mark. Mark is damn cute for me. His green eyes look shiny. Hahaha...That time I was a nut!

Day by days

Month by months

Mark and I became good friend. Also, Mr. Feroze always paid us his compliment on our drawing. He said both of us are talented. Our friends also said that except Suzzane, Lucy, Angel, and Gerald. They never wanted to admit that.

I didn't know why but many students said Suzzane likes Mark and she is jealous of me. But, I didn't want to think about that at all. It was her feeling. Let it be. Do you want to know something? Gerald and Mark have become a friend.

My second year in International School of Kuala Lumpur

My friendship with Mark became close. Sometimes, I felt like I like him more than a friend. Love? maybe…but I didn't want to ruin our friendship. I didn't want him to run away from me. My other friend like Marry, Rikkard, and Cindy always teased me that I'll be Mark's girlfriend. I was shy when Mark heard it because Mark's face will turn gloom when they teased him like that. I thought, he didn't love me at all more than a friend. So, I always told myself, "Mark Anderson is your friend and you can't have a crush on him!"

Mr. Feroze was still our art teacher. He taught us how to paint a picture without drawing, using coal and many things. I loved it. He always gave support to me and my friends.

One day, Miss Kate, our mathematics' teacher had scolded me because I forgot to bring my exercise book. She asked me to stand outside our class while hanging a paper that had been written;

I'm the laziest student in this school! I'm very proud of it! I didn't bring my book.

#belikeme

I was too shame. Many students and teachers who walked out on me read that sentences. Some of them laughed, some of them just thumb up to me and the most horrible, Miss Kate took a photo of me and sent it to the teacher's group in telegram apps. I hate that moment too much!!!

Do you want to know, after recess, Gerald came to my desk and gave my exercise book. Damn! How could he? He said, " Suzzane saw this book this early morning and she took it to see your answer. And she forgot to give it back to you"

I told Mark, Rikkard, Marry, and Cindy about that and they angry for what Suzzane had done to me. I wanted to cry. My dignity oh no...
