WHITE TULIPS

WHERE FRIENDSHIP BEGINS

Sam's pov

In sam's school

" selaurtei elementary school"
(Private school named after sam's family)

It was 8:13 in the morning, and I'm obviously late for my first day of school,
Our class started at 7:30 am, but I don't care at all I'll still have high grades anyway,

I was walking slowly in the hallway, reading a new chapter of my favorite book, when suddenly I bump in with someone who just appears out of nowhere!

" ouch my head!.."

when I opened my eyes, my face started to turn red and I felt really angry seeing the person who just bumped into me

" you!!??, you na naman? Omg! There's a lot of bata here na pede kong mabangga you talaga? Seriously??"
I said with an angry face,

" you again? in all of the girls in this school? Ikaw?"

Wow ha sya pa talaga may ganang pagsabihan ako ng ganyan habang sya naman tung naka bangga sakin I don't think he knows what school he got himself into..

"Uhmm..? obviously duhh, this school ay pag-aari ng parents ko.
Of course you'll see me anywhere around here!
Didn't you read it in the entrance?"

The boy was speechless upon hearing what I have said. Buti naman at napagtanto na niya rin sa wakas, nag iba ang ekspresyon sa mukha ng batang lalaking kaharap ko

"anyway, what's ur name piggy face?"

Maka piggy face, kala mo naman sinong gwapo ang kausap ko.. ehh muka namang si Shrek!!"

" Samantha but my friends calls me Sam, and for the record your the one who looks more like a pig!!"

The boy laugh slightly
"I'm zack, and I'm sorry sa nagawa ko kagabi,. My dad told me to be nice to you since your daddy is my dad's business partner..nice to meet you Sam"
His voice sounds more angelic now, wow! Very himala

I knew Zack was sincere about his words, but I till couldn't forget about how he humiliated me infront of people's last night "isipin mo!? tahimik ka lang kumakain ng ice cream.. tas may shutang inang!! bigla-biglang ng bubully ng walang dahilan!!"

"Ohh so your name is Zack!!
it's not okay,
Very not nice meeting you,
and I'll tell you again, "my" friends calls me Sam, do u get it? my FRIENDS.."

Tumaas ang Isa kong kilay at inikot ng pataray ang dalawa kong mga mata

" But we are friends, starting from this day on, I command it and there's nothing you can do about it"

Wow ha! Kung maka pag salita parang  kung sino! kapal!! neto!! I'm my parents little princess..
tas this ugly goblen is yelling at me? Omg!

" huh!! as if!, my parents can't even raise their voice even just a little when their talking to me!!"

" But I'm not ur parents, besides I already said my sorry to you"

My arms was folded while I rolled my eyes to that jerk who insulted me last night,
I did feel guilty for what I also did to him last night
But my mistake was an accident
and what he did was intentional
so I don't feel sorry for him

"It's not fine!! and bye!!" Sigaw ko na may mataray na boses

Then I run as fast as I can, Zack tried to catch me but I ran like a cheetah so he did not manage to catch me,
as soon as I reached my classrooms door, I was running out of air then collapsed and was rushed into the hospital,.

Again

In the hospital

With a blurry eyes I woke up, seeing my mother on my side sleeping,
I tapped her shoulder and hugged her,

"Ohh Samantha you worried mommy so much"

I felt bad hearing my mother's voice,
By looking at her face I can see how worried she is

" sorry mommy"

" it's okay honey just take a rest okay?"
"yes mommy"

and thankfully I was fine now and was discharged from the hospital after that.

At the school (the next day)

"good morning Sam"
"good morning Samantha"
"morning Sam"
everyone I passedby with, was greeting me good morning,
hearing that I was rushed to the hospital several times lately,
I know how worried they are to me, and I am thankful to everyone,

while I was walking around the hallway, someone tap me in my back, when I turned around I was surprised to see it was Zack

"good morning sam, are you feeling well now?"

Tanong niya na may maamo at nag aalalang mukha

"I'm fine now, and thank for your concern"
I responded calmly

"anyway I'm sorry for what I have done, you were rushed into the hospital twice because of me"

"It's okay, I'm fine now, just don't do it again alright?"

"sure, I promise"

" good, you're not so bad after all, didn't your mommy teach you that bullying others is bad?"

I noticed a quick change in Zack's face after that question, instead of answering my question he looked down and became silent all of a sudden.

"Why? What's wrong? did I say something wrong?"

"No you didn't say anything wrong, it's just that I don't have a mommy anymore."

I was surprised and confused
"why? what do you mean?"

"I lost my mom last year in a car accident, I love my mom so much, but dad told me god took her away from us, I don't know why would god do that to us if he loves us?"

Zack burst into tears crying in front of me,
I felt guilty about my question, so I comforted Zack..

"I'm sorry about my question, I'm sure papa god wouldn't do that without a reason, mommy told me that Papa God always carry a new plan for us, maybe he thinks that it was time for your mommy to rest in heaven with him because she already finished her tasks here in our world, so don't think like that, okay?  it'll be okay, I'm here"

I sat in the ground accompanying Zack while he cries

"thank you Sam, and I'm sorry for what I said to god, I hope mom is doing well in heaven with him"
Zack wiped his tears and look at me

We both smiled at each other,
And from that very moment...
it all started...
