HEART SAYS.
“You choose us or you’ll lose us,” said my best friend – Clove.
I remember it was in December of 2010. I was in grade 9 – Grad of Junior High School. My best friends and I created a group that was really naughty and popular. Sometimes we made our teachers mad. We usually helped each other in many tests and quizzes which we called that action teamwork, but cheating was what teachers and parents considered of. In spite of the naughtiness and popularity we had, we were kind to everybody. We played with everyone and didn’t bully or do anything bad or harmful to others. However, things didn’t go well when a new student started to settle into my class. It was a day before winter break, everybody was waiting for going snow shoeing, skiing during the break. Unlike to me, I knew that good things come when I least expected. My new fellow student – Adam Tran – was a good-looking guy with an angel smile. People said good impression is very important, and it is. I was startled when he smiled and introduced himself in front of the class. He was a little bit shy. His words were low and mumbly, “Hi. Oh hello everyone. Hmm My name is Adam, and it is nice to meet you. I hope you will help me with fitting in the new environment.” It was fine for new student, I think, and I was just amazed by how angelic his smile was. He had the best smile I’ve ever seen, except for my Dad’s and my brother’s. Adam’s parents had worked and lived in the capital city- Hanoi before they moved to Saigon to start their business. I doubted it would be really hard for him because we were the South people, and we had quite a bit different from the North-the capital in eating, pronouncing, and schooling. I’d talked to myself he would be okay. Adam was really nice guy, but his shyness and quietness kept him away from the other classmates. After a month, my class was really surprised because not only was Adam the top student, but he also brought my class up to the top 3 classes
