to enter National for the first time on a school morning
to cut English class for the very first time

to finish my math HW right on the day it was due
to finish my hurried LIT research just in time for the next class

to enjoy seeing something on a face I normally dislike
to have regained a bit of what I lost when the growing up days came along

to eat my bread and butter with sugar and leftover hotcake
to indulge in insanity with my cousin and almond joy and pea-sized grapes

to linger [forever until we had to leave] in the AMPC
to do so with Ven, Gabbie, Nash and Macky and happy disney cards

to have colloquys on the grass with unitmates and a numb leg
to dare on the rain's arrival with April (Cat :P) and Yumi

to walk from Bell field to AHS in the dark and the rain
to get a free ride from a tricycle driver just because

to finally climb onto the car's white cushiony seats at the end of the day

is <3.
