Teenage Diary
(S1) - Chapter 1: First Day
But since it's the first day, I'll try to lighten up my mood.
Am I doing it for myself or for everyone around me?
Either way, I just want to have a fresh image. I don't want to be like a bad student just by where I came from.
Joshua
Yes, that's my name. Hello! And you are…?
Omay
I'm Omay. It might sound weird but — nice to meet you! I hope we get along! *smiles*
I don't know what's weird with what he just said.
He seems very friendly — GOSH IT'S THE FIRST DAY JOSHUA, FIRST DAY. STOP LOOKING FOR A BOYFRIEND.
Joshua
Hehe, cute… *mumbled*
Joshua
A-ah? Nothing, nothing.
Omay
Anyways, I'mma head to my seat now. Bye!
LORD AND LADY, THANK FOR GIVING ME A SIGHT OF SUCH A WONDERFUL MEAL. I'M WISHING TO BE FULL, SO MOTE IT BE!
????
Hey, why don't you ask Joshua to join us? He seems lonely.
Are they talking about me?
????
Hello, I'm ______, would you like to join us eat?
Karl
I "said" I'm Karl, would you like to join us eat?
Wow, public students are so friendly.
Veronica
Hello!!!! I'm Veronica, you can call me Nica, since you're cute! *smiles*
Joshua
*blushes* Eh?! Me? Cute?
Karl
"Me? Cute?" *sarcastically*
Veronica
*pulls Karl's hair* Don't mind this j*rk. Join us eat, you seem lonely.
Karl
BEH, ANO BA?! YAWA! (Translation: Girl, what's with you?! You demon!)
Joshua
Hehe…, sure I'll join you.
How did they even know I feel lonely in the first place?
Anyways, they're so funny, I can't focus on what I'm eating. And they just kept talking and talking about the Research, even if it's just the first day…
Dwayne
Guys, what's your lunch?!
Karl
Shut up Dwayne. *shoves his hotdog on Dwayne mouth*
Veronica
Hey, stop you too, that's not really section Alpha like.
Dwayne
Thank you for the food! *swallows the whole hotdog*
Joshua
Guys, I think we should eat properly. It's almost time.
Karl
It's the new kid, Joshua.
Karl
Joshua, meet Dwayne. Dwayne, meet Joshua.
Veronica
That's too formal, I like it!
Joshua
Hehe. Hello Dwayne! *smiles*
Dwayne
You look so expensive!
Joshua
I-I do? How can humans have a price?
Karl
Bruh, it's a metaphor.
Veronica
I think the right term for that is hyperbole…
Joshua
Ika-Ika? That sounds like a disease. *sighs*
Veronica
Sabi ko sayo eh, yawa ka. (I told you, you demon.) Just pick another nickname for me, gosh.
Dwayne
You came from private school right?
Joshua
Yeah! How did you know?
Dwayne
Just a hunch. Wait…, does Matthew already kno-
Miss Santos
Okay, class! Lunch is over, get back to your seats now!
Miss Santos
Okay, get your Filipino notebook and copy what I will write on the board? Naiintindihan ba? (Understood?)
All Students
Opo ma'am… (Yes ma'am. *this is in polite form btw*)
Who the fudge is Matthew?!
And bruh, Filipino during a hot day?! Really? Now my day is ruined!
Okay, I am overreacting. But bruh, who likes Filipino anyways?
Miss Santos
Quiet class! I said "Who yawned?"
Joshua
Wh-what? O-okay ma'am, I yawned po. But-
Miss Santos
Who gave you the right — to yawn in my class?
Miss Santos
Then why did you yawn?
Joshua
I was feeling sleepy and-
Miss Santos
Silencio! Class, get one whole sheet of paper and write "I will stay awake in class." front to back!
????
Urgh, could this day get any worse?
Miss Santos
Silence! Start now! You only have 10 minutes. *leaves the classroom*
Joshua
*sighs* I'm sorry everyone-
????
Save it! I don't want to hear it.
Omay
Hey, don't mind them. It's not a crime to feel sleepy during a boring class anyways. *chuckles*
Joshua
*looks for my intermediate paper pad*
Omay
If you don't have one, I'll just give you one…
Joshua
Oh, I'm sure I have them. I just bought them — a year ago.
Omay
*laughs* I'll just give you one.
There's no time for depersonalization, self. Keep it together!
Sir Rodriguez
And that is how different types of matter are labeled. Any questions?
Sir Rodriguez
Well then, thank you so much for having this wonderful day, I hope we all get along! *smiles*
All Students
Thank you po Sir!
Sir Rodriguez
You may leave this classroom now, quietly.
Wow, that was fast. I didn't even realize the time.
????
Don't you think Sir Rodriguez is kinda cute?
Mikaela
Why? You disagree? *smirks*
Joshua
I-I mean, he's like a sweet father to me.
Mikaela
Aww, that's boring. Joshua right?
Joshua
Yes, that's my name!
Mikaela
I'm Mikaela, just call me Mika.
Mikaela
I saw you eating with my them (Veronica, Karl, and Dwayne)
Mikaela
Of course! They're my childhood friends!
Mikaela
And I hope you get to be a part of us.
Joshua
*blushes* You're so kind.
Mikaela
Everyone thinks of me like that, but I'm not really that kind, I'm just nice.
Joshua
Aren't those the same thing?
Joshua
Anyways! I would love to accept your friendship offer!
Mikaela
Yas! But one more thing, we have a leader in our friendship group.
Mikaela
You must ask permission to join us first!
Joshua
A leader? In a friendship?!
That sounds weird but okay.
Mikaela
Why?! Just because he came from a private school?!
Joshua
Wh-what's up with students who came from a private school?
Mikaela
I'm sorry Joshua, it's nothing. It's just OUR friend here, thinks every student who came from the PRIVATE SCHOOL is a BULLY.
Matthew
We don't even know him that much yet. It's just one day since you met him. More like minutes to be exact.
Mikaela
That's "literally" how our friendship started! You also came from private school too! And we still accepted you!
Matthew
That's a different story…
Mikaela
Oh yeah? *scoffs* This is unacceptable. Ugh, I'm livid. Let's go Joshua. *grabs Joshua's arm*
Mikaela
I'm really sorry he's like that. It's just-
Joshua
No it's okay, I understand. Most students think private school students are bad though.
Mikaela
No, no. It's not- *sighs*
Joshua
It's really okay, hey!
Joshua
Maybe he's right. We just met, so let's (Mikaela and her other friends) hang out often. Let's see if we can make Matthew accept me to your friendship group!
Mikaela
Ugh, why do friendship groups even existed?! Can't we just… "Hey I'm Mika! Let's be friends!" "We're friends now! Yehey!"
Joshua
*laughs* Your voice is so funny.
Mikaela
The heck? I thought you already went home.
Matthew
Quiet, you. Let's go Mika, we got to start our research.
Mikaela
But it's only the first day!
Mikaela
*sighs* *hugs Joshua* Bye Joshua.
Mikaela
Urgh. *waves goodbye to Joshua with a sweet smile*
Matthew
Introduction. It's the easiest part, maybe let's just do this after we've done the others. So let's do the statement of the-
Matthew
Because it's what the other students said, to do the problems first.
Matthew
He seems approachable, but that still doesn't change the fact he's from a private school.
Mikaela
Matthew, there are bad apples and good apples. How do we know which is which? Cut them in half to see what's inside. There are bad students and good students. How do we know which is which?
Mikaela
WE GET TO KNOW THEM! URGH, YOU'RE HANDSOME, SMART, TALL, AND TAN. YET YOU DON'T HAVE COMMON SENSE.
Mikaela
No wonder the girls rejected you. *sighs*
Matthew
💭: Who says I only like girls?
Matthew
Let's continue on our research.
Mikaela
WHAHAHAHA, YOU GOT REJECTED BY YOUR CRUSHES.
Matthew
Mika, let's start or I will feed you to Black Mamba.
Mikaela
Okay, okay. Praise Nævis. Æ~ *burps* Let's continue.
Joshua
Come to think of it, I still don't have a group for research…
Joshua
I wanna join a group but at the same I wanna do the research on my own.
Joshua
Urgh, what should I do?
Joshua
No, he hates me. Probably he just hates students who came from a private school.
Joshua
This is so unfair… LIFE is so unfair.
(S1) - Chapter 2: Friends
Ugh, it's morning already?
I didn't even get my full eight.
Dad
Son, wake up! Eat your breakfast and take a bath.
I can't even see the sun yet.
Dad
Son, I already made your lunch for school. It's already packed, and just take some money on my wallet before you go. Okay? I'm gonna sleep now.
Joshua
...How to force someone to be your friend?
Dad
Well, you can't force someone to be your friend. It just happens in a matter of time.
Dad
But if you really want to be friends with them, be close to them, to the first move.
I'm not good at making the first moves.
Joshua
Okay dad, thank you.
Dad
That's all you want to ask?
Joshua
Yes dad. You may sleep now.
Dad
Okay. *kisses his cheek* I love you son. Do your best at school.
Joshua
*chuckles* Love you too dad.
Fortunately, I have my hoodie. But I don't think my new school would allow me to wear that.
I'm sure I put it in my bag.
Hm, that's weird. My back feels somehow light.
Karl
I don't know, maybe something bad happened to him.
Veronica
Hey! That's not nice...
Karl
Whatever, maybe he woke up late.
Karl
I'm gonna head inside, I still to check the attendance.
Veronica
Oh? Isn't that him?
Karl
Tell him to run quickly, I may list him to the late ones.
Joshua
*excessive breathing* Sorry, I forgot my backpack so I went back to get it.
Veronica
Hurry, get inside! Karl is checking the attendance!
Karl
Veronica, the second one?
Karl
...Okay, you may sit down.
Joshua
Phew, that's tiring. *mumbled*
Omay
You're sweating so much, what happened?
Joshua
I left my bag at home, and I had to run just to get it.
It's not cotton. Gosh, what is happening to my day.
Joshua
Yeah, I'm sure! *shows my towel to him*
Omay
That's not absorbent...
Hehe, this is embarrassing.
Omay
You can borrow mine, only if you want to.
Omay
Of course. *gives him his towel*
Joshua
Thank you, you're a lifesaver. *gently pats his sweats with the towel*
Joshua
It's your towel anyway. *gives him back the towel*
Omay
*grabs the towel and pats Joshua's forehead* You missed a spot.
Joshua
O-okay. Thank you! Hehe...
That was weird, but very romantic. Friendly! I mean friendly...
Matthew
Urgh, why do I have to witness these lovebirds. *whispers to Mikaela*
Mikaela
Shut up! *whispers back to him*
Mikaela
You're ruining the show! *whispers again*
Male Classmate
Sir Rodriguez is on his way! Go back to your seats! Quick!
Sir Rodriguez
Did you all get the lesson?
Sir Rodriguez
Then give one sentence that has a modal.
Joshua
I have an answer po.
Sir Rodriguez
Okay, tell us!
Joshua
The child could've made friends, but his father doesn't know anything about friendship so he couldn't tell how to make one.
Sir Rodriguez
Outstanding, may I know your name?
Sir Rodriguez
You seem great at speaking English, can you tell us more about yourself?
Joshua
I'm 12 years old, I'm turning 13 next month. My favorite subject is English. I live in a small, yet peaceful house. My hobbies are painting and coding. My best skill is learning a language for only five months, depending on its difficultly.
????
Sana all! (Hope all!)
Mikaela
Aba, talented, parang ikaw lang, Mat. (Wow, talented, just like you, Mat.)
Matthew
I'm better than him.
Mikaela
"I'm better than him."
Sir Rodriguez
You seem talented, Joshua. Maybe it's time to add someone again to One of the Best Students. Don't you think, Matthew?
Matthew
I think so too, sir.
Sir Rodriguez
Very well. Joshua, I'm hoping to give your best in this class.
Joshua
I-I won't let you down, s-sir. *blushes*
Veronica
"Joshua, I'm hoping to give your best in this class." In fairness!
Joshua
Stop teasing me, it's not that special...
Veronica
Not that special?
Veronica
Girl, you impressed the best teacher in this school!
Matthew
He's right though, it's not that special.
Dwayne
So you're also not special?
Mikaela
Hey, stop that. Joshua, you did great. Stop pulling down yourself.
Matthew
Where is the two? (Karl and Omay)
Veronica
They're helping the other section to clean the entrance.
Dwayne
That sounds tiring. *drinks his soda*
Mikaela
Bruh, that's your second can.
Matthew
Watch what you drink.
Dwayne
What if I don't want to? *smirks*
Matthew
Then I'll punish you.
Dwayne
Please, no. My parents will find out. My reputation will be ruined, my pride, my life! *dramatically poses*
Matthew
Go to your seat, now!
Dwayne
Yes, master Mathematics.
Matthew
*jokingly smacks Dwayne*
Joshua
You two are so funny.
Matthew
Of course, we're friends.
What does he mean by that?
Joshua
I kind of feel you're getting comfortable with me being around.
Mikaela
Hey! Don't mind him, you're our friend now.
Matthew
But not bestfriend.
Mikaela
Shut up! *pinches Matthew*
Veronica
Matthew, why don't you accept Joshua.
Veronica
I mean, he seems very-, he's very kind and friendly.
Dwayne
That's just mean...
Joshua
It's okay guys, you shouldn't force someone to be your friend.
Joshua
Anyways, I'm gonna head back to my seat now. I need to review the art lessons.
Mikaela
*sighs* Matthew, you got to understand that he's not like them.
Matthew
Like I said, we'll never know.
I guess I don't have any chance for Matthew.
Dad said to just laugh when you feel down. But it seems to be not helping.
Omay
Hey, Joshua, are you okay?
Joshua
Oh you're here already? Hehe. Of course, why wouldn't I?
Omay
Okay..., do you wanna go to 7 Elves? They got a new type of Slurpie there.
Omay
Later, after the class ends.
Joshua
Okay, thank you for inviting me.
He's so gentle when talking.
Eating with him, I can't wait for this class to end!
Omay
Can you handle me that straw?
Veronica
Pass me the tissue please!
Mikaela
Here, and also please give me that fork.
Dwayne
What's up guys? Welcome back to Dwayne's Vlog! Today we're here at 7 Elves, and we're gonna try their new Slurpie! I'm so excited!
Matthew
Keep your voice down, Dwayne. It's kind of embarrassing.
(S1) - Chapter 3: Acceptance
Omay
Hey, Joshua, here's your fork... *passes the fork*
Matthew
Urgh, guys. Why do I have to sit with this private schooler?
Mikaela
First of all, to make you two close together. Second, he study in our school now, which is NOT a private school.
So they set me up to be close with Matthew?
I don't think that's how you bring two people closer to each other.
I'm hoping to get closer to him.
I wish he could see that I'm not like what he thinks I am.
Matthew
Karl's calling you.
Karl
Your ice cream is melting, it reached your hand.
Joshua
I-I...*licks up to the mess*
Mikaela
Eh? Have you washed your hands?
Matthew
*sighs* What a total mess you are. *wipes Joshua's hand and his mouth*
Matthew
There. Stop doing that, you're gonna ruin our group's image.
Omay
So you're accepting him now as our bestfriend?
Matthew
No! Of course people would think he's in our group because he sits with us.
Matthew
Ugh, now my hands are also dirty because I wiped HIS mess.
He doesn't need to shove in down my throat...
Mikaela
Hey, stop being so insensitive around him.
Veronica
What do you expect? He's Matthew. I'm sorry Joshua, you had to go through this problem. *passes the soda to Joshua*
Joshua
*takes the soda* It's fine...
Dwayne
Okay, let's stop. I can't continue shooting with you guys being a mess. Matthew, cut the crap. Why do you hate him that much? A private school is also the same with a public school. Both have good and bad students.
Matthew
I was just being cautious for us.
Matthew
What if he exposes one of your secrets to the school?
Matthew
What if he makes a huge problem to our study?
Dwayne
Oh yeah? Have you forgotten that you also came from a private-
Joshua
Omay, I'm just gonna go to the restroom. *whispered*
Joshua
*sniffles* *wipes his tears* Yes? What's up?
Karl
I'm sorry you heard us fight like that, and sorry about Matthew.
Karl
I may not be good to you since the yesterday, but-
Joshua
It's okay, hey! It's just a small problem. Let's not make it worse.
Karl
*approaches Joshua and hugs him*
Karl
Just... to make you feel better.
Joshua
That's very sweet of you, Karl. But you don't have to-
Karl
Shh, shut up. I can't smell your breath.
Joshua
Pfft, stop making jokes when I'm *sniffling* crying. *sniffles* *cries silently*
Karl
*caresses Joshua's head* Shh, shh. *hugs him tightly*
Veronica
I hope he's doing okay, I doubt Karl will make him feel alright.
Veronica
He wouldn't just leave without ANY reason.
Omay
When will you stop treating him badly?
Matthew
I understand why guys are mad at me. Maybe I was being a bit harsh towards him.
Dwayne
If you want things to go clear, first is you need to erase your pride.
Mikaela
I was actually gonna say that, but thank you.
Joshua
*coughs* *sniffles*
Joshua
You literally hugged me for 10 minutes, how wouldn't I be okay.
Joshua
I don't even think that's just a hug, but a cuddle.
Karl
Shut up, I was forced to do this.
Earlier while Joshua was crying
Karl
*caresses Joshua's back and head* Shh, shh, shh.
Karl
If you cry like that, I might cry too. It hurts me, you know? *mumbled*
Joshua
"If you cry like that, I might cry too. It hurts me, y'know?" *cries sarcastically*
Karl
Just shut up, they're waiting for us.
Joshua
Okay, Mr. Sussy Baka.
Veronica
Do you think he might already left us here?
Omay
If he really left us here, then Karl would also. But I still can hear Karl's voice.
Dwayne
What did you two so long?
Karl
Joshua had a long poopy.
Karl
I had to wait, because he can't do it without someone talking to him.
Joshua
Hey, stop shaming me!
Veronica
Then are your and his eyes are swollen?
Joshua
Hey guys, I had to go now, my dad is waiting for me to come home. See y'all tomorrow! Bye! *runs away*
Veronica
So, Karl. Why is your-
Karl
I'm gonna head home now! Bye! *runs away*
Veronica
*sighs* Because of you.
Dwayne
You have to say that to him, not to us.
Mikaela
How about message him? I'll give you his number.
Matthew
You have his number? Really?
Mikaela
Let's say I have my own ways.
Mikaela
It's 09XX-XXX-XXX.
Matthew
I don't have my phone right now, but I can remember that.
Mikaela
Anytime, now go home and text him.
Joshua
*sniffling* Dad, I'm home!
Joshua
Wh-what's the matter, dad?
Dad
I asked my vision about what was happening to you earlier.
Dad
*cuddles Joshua* Don't worry, son. He'll accept you soon.
Joshua
I don't think *sniffles* *cough* *cough* he would accept me, *cough* because I'm from a private school. *sniffles* *cries*
Dad
It's not your fault, son. *caresses Joshua's head*
Dad
Let him realize your true intentions. Just remember to always be friendly and kind to anyone, and things will go smoothly. Okay?
Joshua
*cries* Dad, why do you smell good? *cries*
Dad
*chuckles* It's my new cologne. Shh, shh.
Matthew
Oh yeah. His number.
Joshua
📞: How can I help you?
Matthew
It's me — Matthew.
Joshua
📞: Did Mika give you my number?
Matthew
Yes... how did you know?
Joshua
📞: It's very like her.
Joshua
📞: Anyways, what made you call me?
Joshua
Hm? Don't be shy, just tell me.
Joshua
*holding a pendulum*
Matthew
📞: I was a j*rk to you since yesterday. There was a reason for me to act like that, you know?
Matthew
📞: Why do you want to join our friendship group, anyways? You can join others'...
Joshua
If this supposed to be a "Get out of my life, I don't want to see you, nor feel your existence!"?
Matthew
📞: I'm really sorry, about my actions towards you.
Joshua
💭: Is he being sincere?
Pendulum
*swinging vertically* (Swinging vertically means "yes".)
Joshua
*blushes* Are you being sincere right now?
Joshua
You don't seem that sincere.
Matthew
📞: I'm always sincere.
Pendulum
*swinging horizontally* (Swinging horizontally means "No".)
Joshua
Okay, I forgive you.
Matthew
📞: I changed my mind...
Joshua
💭: The f*ck? What is he trying to say?
Joshua
*flips a card and sees the Ten of Cups*
Matthew
📞: Anyways, I hope you didn't misunderstand me. I want you to be in our group.
Joshua
YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YAS, YAZ, YAUR, I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO! AHHHHHHH!
Matthew
💭: What? Cute? Who's cute? Shut up!
Joshua
📞: Oh... I'm sorry.
Matthew
I was just keeping my younger brother down.
Mikaela
Matthew! Mom said dinner's ready!
Matthew
Yeah, we're step-siblings.
Matthew
Bye, Joshua. See you tomorrow...
Joshua
Are they really step-siblings?
Pendulum
*swings vertically*
Joshua
THANK YOU GOD AND GODDESS!
Matthew
*slightly smiling*
Mikaela
Wow, you can smile?
Mikaela
That's unusual. *coughs*
Mikaela
It's Joshua, isn't it?
Matthew
Just eat your food, we have school tomorrow. You think I don't know that?
Mikaela
It's Joshua, it's confirmed.
Mikaela
Why? Have you let him join our group?!
Mikaela
Yeah! Let's celebrate! In our own sleeps.
Matthew
That sounds exciting!
Joshua
*knocks* Dad? Can I sleep on your room tonight?
Dad
Sure, son. But I thought you don't want to sleep with me anymore?
Joshua
*opens the door* *enters the room and closes the door* Well something happened to me that really boosted my mood.
Dad
That sounds reasonable. *chuckles*
Joshua
*lays on his dad's bed* *cuddles his dad* Goodnight dad. I love you. *closes his eyes*
Dad
*pats Joshua's head* Goodnight son, I love you too.
Dad
*sighs* Thank you God for this lovable son.
