Connections With The Past

From what I had thought, today it had been confirmed. I had just seen his picture in the newspaper as part of the Ball photos two weeks ago. I hadn't seen him since I had left primary school and then a few days later I noticed that he caught the bus with him. I didn't even realise it was him when I went to sit in front of him until I got off the bus.

Today, I got off the bus to see him in front me and I smiled. Today, he had happened to be wearing his Leavers jacket and on the back it said Tungy. I walked a bit faster across the road to catch up to him. He is such a slow walker, so I had to slow down my normal pace to keep in time with him. I was able to see what was written on his backpack. It said Tungiee (love heart) bby_Jenny. Above it it said Emo. In the bottom right hand corner there was a hand, and it said how to cut you wrist in the right way. It had an exclamation mark at the end of it, so I guessed that he, or who ever had written it on the bag wrote it as a joke.

I really wanted to say hi to him but I just couldn't do it. He was wearing headphones as was I and I continued to walk slowly behind him. I tried to bring myself to say hi so many times. He slowed down to change the song he was listening to and I gave up. I quickly overtook him and I wondered what he would be thinking and I smiled to myself. I walked past his house and he disappeared inside. For the time I have been living here, I have never known that he lived there. One day I will say hello. We didn't really talk to each other in primary school, it would just be nice to know how how he is going and what he has been up to.

My phone died yesterday for the second time. It wouldn't turn on, even though it is fully charged. So Dad and I went to Allphones to go and get it serviced. The guy that served me was quite parculiar but quite friendly. What I didn't like was that he spoke mostly to my Dad instead of me. Dad said later that he noticed that too. He came across at times that he didn't know what he was doing or he didn't know the right thing to say, like he was under pressure or something. Overall, the service was good and he gave a funny expression across when he said that my phone was in great condition and he remarked that the only thing that was wrong with it was that it had fingerprints on it...

I haven't been writing posts for the last couple of days because I have been so busy with tests and studying. The Chemistry test I had today was not easy. The next test I will be doing will be on Tuesday - Applicable Mathematics. A nice break for a few days...
