Thinking Back

Hey, I have never ever cried at school, except this once. I don't know why I never cried, it just wasn't right. Like I wasn't supposed to or something. I generally DON'T cry in public full stop. And it's not for the reason it show weakness or sumthing, like they say in those books. At least, I don't think so. Anyway, I remember the time I cried at school quite clearly. It was when I was in Grade 3, school in Malaysia. It was during the week of exams I think, toward the end of the year. I can't recall exactly what happened, but it was a falling out with a friend. My best friend actually. During recess I was leaning against one of the pillars and blinking back tears away. I couldn't talk, cos I knew that if I did, the tears would spill out. There was a group of my other friends surrounding me, trying to comfort me. They were saying that my best friend wasn't really angry with me and stuff. I'm guessing they were probably thinking, "OMG! Erica is crying... She NEVER cries!" Huh, isn't it kinda weird how I never cried about anything else, but I cried about a small falling out with a friend. I didn't cry when I fell down, when I got hit or scolded by the teacher, or anything! Sigh... What does that say about me? One weird little girl. Cherrycookie
