Socrates

- You are my happiness. even if you hurt me, you are still my love until my final destination.

-

- I can recall it was Christmas Eve when I first saw him.

-PS: This story is based on true story.

- " An unexamined life us not worth living?" I asked Dad as I read the new quote he posted in our wall. It was the 12th quote he posted. He said it could help us in resolving problems we are facing. Gosh, how could I understand that one?? I am just 8 years old and I don't want to get involved in problems!!!

- "Yes, you can read and that made me proud of you" He sarcastically said that made me smile because he is the one who taught me to read because my teacher hates teaching. Yep, so weird.

- "What does it mean?" I asked as I help him preparing the foods mom cooked.

- "It means you must know yourself so your life won't be useless" he said and smiled. "I am happy you found yourself" I just smiled at him and told him I'll get change because mom's friend with her family is coming.

-"What dress should I wear?!!!" I screamed hopelessly. I wanna impress them!!! At the end, I just wore mom's dress she gave me paired with black boots and just a light lipstick.

- "Where's your son Audrey?" I heard someone asked as I stepped in the dining room. It's tita Shella- mom's friend.

- "Ohw there you are!!" tita Stella said after seeing me. I was going to smile when a kid laughed and said "HE'S GAY!!!? MAMA HE IS GAY!!! LOOK AT THE KID DAD!!" The kid said as if it's the first time he saw a boy wearing a dress. I panicked when he suddenly walked towards me so I quickly ran to my bedroom.

- Yes I am a gay, so what?!!! Atleast I know who I really was. I hate that kid!!! I erased my make up and remove my dress and change it into a plain white shirt and a pants.

- I was brushing my hair when someone knocked three times before the door opened. It was mom.

- "Hey sweety, don't be upset please" she said while hugging me. I smiled and just nod.

- "Lets go downstairs please" she pleaded while still hugging me tight.

- "I don't know mom. I hate that kid"

- "He said he is sorry"

- "Still no"

- "I'll be sad then. Dad will cry" she said like a baby.

- "I don't like him, mom" i said without second thoughts.

- "Just eat and then go back here, please?" she said and let go of me.

- "okay" I agreed then smiled. I just sigh knowing that I'll see that bully kid again. I wanna eat though.

- I went downstairs with mom and when I saw the kid staring at me in the dining area, I raised my brows and hope that he knows I hate him.

- "Let's eat?" Dad asked while smiling. Tita Stell lead the prayer which made me questioned. How come an angel cast out a devil?!!

- He was sitting in front of my father who was just next to me. I was irritated because I knew he was looking at me so after praying I ate quickly so I could return to my room. I can no longer cope with his harassment

- "I finished eating. I am going back to my room" I said then got up and left the dining table. His presence annoys me!!! I heard Dad call my name but I don't care because I don't want to be with that boy for a long time

- "I'll just eat again when they're gone" I said then took my laptop above the table to tweet. I want to rant, why? is it forbidden?

- "Tangina mo, hayop ka" I was in the middle of typing when suddenly someone opened the door so I was shocked

- I was even more surprised because I did not expect that it was not mama or papa who opened it, but the annoying child!

- "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU UP TO?!! WHY ARE YOU HERE?!!!" I shouted in annoyance especially when he closed the door.

- I saw how he panicked and I wanted to laugh because of that.

- "look i am sorry. I didn't know you were sensitive. you don't like jokes. sorry okay, I will not repeat what I did. sorry if I hurt you or offended you." he said at length so I just smiled. I am a fragile person then my parents taught me that I should learn to forgive.

- "okay okay, you can go out now" I said from my heart.

- "Wow, you are sensible. Seriously, are you forgiving me? by the way, my name is Matthew" He said then walked over to me to shake my hand. wow, demon gentleman. Okay subconscious, I just said I forgive him haha

- "Alex, my name is Alex" I said then accepted his offer to shake hands.

- He did not leave my room first because we played. We also did not expect a storm so our parents decided to take us with them until the end of Christmas.

- I met Matthew for a day. He was kind, I thought he was a demon haha

- "what the heck?!! fix the blocks, the house will be easily damaged if not built properly" he said as we played lego. I'm just laughing because he doesn't tell me I'm stupid even though he looks like he wants to strike me haha ​​I used to annoy him but my older brother looks patient.

- "Yes Engineer Matthew" I said then I winked at him that he just reciprocated with a foul flatulence.

-instead of being annoyed with him we just laughed.

- he was my first friend because my classmates and my teacher didn't like me because they said I was gay.

-so I was just so annoyed when Matthew mocked me that I was gay because I was full of resentment at school, even here at home? !!

- he slept in my room - we were in bed together. we did not feel malice then because we were young.

- all I had in mind then was hopefully, this is not our last moment.
