Christian

"Kriiiiiiiiiiiiing"
"The sound of my alarm clock  piercing through my ears"
Why would set my alarm at 1 o'clock and why would I just die?

"Oh! Need to drink my meds, that's why"

I hate cancer, and cancer hates me too,

These tablets are endless, this will stop cancer for a comeback

Its my habit waking up at this moment to drink meds and maybe reading some creepy pasta cause I love the idea of creepy and death, you know, and like Albert Einstein's curiosity about the afterlife,

So I went down to our kitchen to get some water, but while I'm on the stairs,

"Aww, my knee hurts" is it possible that my osteosarcoma came back?
But I just ignore it, maybe it will come off some time,

So after drinking my meds I'm going down for a good sleep for a good time and because I have school tomorrow.

Then my eyes fade the color of my bed space

Another stream of alarms and never ending phrase of  "Christian you need to wake up or you're gonna be late for school" echoed in the house, its a never ending suffering of going to school so early just to see the people you hated the most, duhh! Even if it is a cancer survivor school there still people who dominated and one of them was Richie, the bully of this cancer school, and its the survival of the fittest

I went downstairs to get some daily dose of eggs and bacon and got ready  for school, cleaning my prosthetic leg, I have 2 or 3 pieces of prosthetic leg here in my cabinet and upon seeing this makes me feel depressed

"I'm not the sum of my parts"

Because I'm incomplete

"No one would love me like a girl who loves a boy without cancer"
Flipping and locking this fucked up leg and going downstairs,

"Mum, I'm going to School"

"Okay, honey be safe,"
Leaving mum a kiss in a forehead before I leave,

A few minutes walk from home is my school, Ted and Judy's school for cancer survivors offer acceleration classes for people who'd been left behind because of endless medication and chemotherapy, just like me, I was in fifth grade when my cancer start and then everything stopped from school, from being a regular kid. After my operation and when  my cancer was ripped off, my mum said that I could go back to school but its too late, so they enrolled me here and after Two years of studying, I was accelerated from 5th grade to grade 12.

I arrived at school at the exact time, hearing those people and the whisper between the corridors makes me feel sick like I wanna throw up,

At the end of the hallway was Earl and Adrian behind the lockers in front of our room,

"wassup chris" Earl shouted

"Hey guys" I replied as I go towards their direction,

"Guys, its my m mum's birthday today," Adrian answered,
"You guys are invited, 6 pm at Chicken king restaurant at the bay" he added,

"Oh okay," Earl replied,

"Hey nerdos,"

Its Richie again,

"watcha doin? Talking about the super nerds"

Just ignore it, Richie is like a fly, if you ignore it he will fly away,

Krinnnnnggggg!!!!!!

The sound of the bell runs through the hallway like a train passing though the tunnel, after the sound rattled through the corridor,
The students came rushing though every door like bees flying through the hive.

It was the go signal, that the class will start,
And everything happened as fast as you can saysupercalifragilisticexpialidocious

After long hours of studying and logic reasoning with the people I loved and hate at the same time the day came finally end.

"Mum?" I shouted as a walk inside the house

"Yes honey?"

"Its Adrian mom's birthday can I go?" While putting up my bag beside the table lamp.

"Where is it?" Mum shouted while she was walking towards me,

"At the chicken king by the bay" I replied

"Do you need a lift?"

"Nah,I'll just walk, you know need to excersice these legs " I climb the stairs to get ready for the birthday dinner,

"honey wait!," mum extended her arms towards my shoulder
"Its good too see you happy now,"

"Thank you mum, I'll think I'll be fine now" you know these things in your life will make it valuable, Mum's happy cause his son is not dying anymore.

"Mum, I'm going to leave now?"

"Sure son, be safe," and every time before I leave there's always a kiss on forehead.

                
Chicken king was 2 kilometers away from our home, its near at the bay,

I don't like the food there , its full of excess cooking oil that will kill you softly by hypertension,

but I like the view there, you'll see the caeldon bay and the sunset.

As I enter the door of the restaurant I see adrian singing Ed sheeran's Supermarket flowers at the restaurant lounge,

Adrian's mom welcomed me with a big hug as I greeted her,

"Happy birthday"  giving her a bunch of chocolates that I bought on my way,
Because I dunno what to give her, I don't know women, they are emotionally complex like puzzle that needs to be solved and I don't want to solved any puzzles, I'm not a fan of sherlock Holmes,

As I look at the restaurant, I smelled the oily fragrance of the chicken that's fought their way to be the greatest fried chicken ever,
We had a great time, together with Adrian, Earl and a lots of fried chicken and some softdrinks, time sure passes by when fun is never out of sight.

After we have some chit chats, I decided to go through the bay area, maybe I'll just soul search, and its 8:30 in evening maybe I'll go home,

As I walk down the bay area, I see a few people, some are dating, but there's a girl besides the palm tree seems to be crying,
