The Flasback
I’m so very happy to see my classmates again. We talked about our last vacation and how we spend it. We have a great time when we bond each other. Laughing is our past time. When we failed in our exam, we just only laugh. How I wish we have more time to spend to each other because graduation day is fast approaching. We are the most united section in our campus.
Two weeks before our graduation day, we all decided to go to Boracay. We are all excited especially me, because I have never been on that place. On the vehicle that we are riding, we can’t stop our self laughing. My classmate name Joy is talking about her past love life and the naughty things she did with her boyfriend. Ladymie is laughing with matching stamping her feet. My other classmates Ryan, Candy and Emelyn are just laughing, while Donna is re-touching her make-up. “Guy’s wait, do we have a camera?” asked by Joy. “Oh yes, I will forget to bring anything but not my camera”, answered by Ladymie. If we are there in Boracay, we will first walk along the white sand because we are hoping that we could see our favorite star’s celebrity, of course our camera is always ready.
It is our graduation day now! I can’t believe it is true. My fellow graduates are all gorgeous with their dress. All I can see is the happiness and excitement of my fellow graduates especially those who have an awards. But the most happy and excited people are the parents. It is now the time that we will pay back there sacrifices and patient in order of us to graduate. Picture taking, gift-giving and other things that we can all see in the graduation day, and I will never forget this moment in the rest of my life. But what can I see in the eyes of my classmates was sorrow. I can’t understand why they feel that way. I know that it is hard for them loss our friendship. They never cry but I’m sure, they just only pretending.
The emcee of the program is now calling for the names of the graduate, so each one of us is excited to go up in the stage. I can’t explain what I feel right now. I have already experience two graduation day in my life. The graduation day of my elementary days is so very wonderful because I’m so excited to school at high school level. High School life is both full of sadness because it is the time to be far from each other and happiness because at last we are now ready to go the college and universities. My name is now being called. I stand up with a great smile on my face. I thought to myself this is the last graduation I will experience. This is my day and I want this to be the most unforgettable. But why did the people around me is very quite? Aren’t they happy for me? Even though they feel that way, they can never destruct my graduation day. I look back to my parents, I’m sure that they are very proud too. All there sacrifices are now have fruit. I can’t see them, maybe they go to the comfort room. I look also to my classmates, during our school days they were so very naughty but now they are so very speechless. It just a few step to me to go up on the stage and I notice that I have never heard a clap of hands or any kind of noises. I really wonder why. A while ago, when my fellow graduates go up on the stage you can heard a round of applauses but when this is my time I can’t heard anything. I saw my adviser stand and she calls the attention of the people. “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s keep a silence for a while to pray for one of our students”. I can’t understand why they will pray for me? Are they thinking that I’m dead? I feel nervous, as I look around my classmates is now crying. I shout aloud, “Don’t do this kind of joke!” I was speechless that moment. I can’t understand, how come that I am dead now. I just sit down in the ladder of the stage, crying as I am trying to remember what was happen to me.
I now remember, when we go to Boracay there was an accident happened on us. As we laugh the driver told us that there is a problem on our vehicle. Donna is now on panic, she is shouting and crying. Joy and Ryan is still laughing and I said to them they should better pray for our safety. Ladymie is now praying and all the saints she know they call them all for help. I am so very afraid that time but I don’t want to see them I am afraid. All the memories of the past are coming on my mind, the time that I gain confidence to face my fear and the lonely time when I lose hope. Suddenly, my surrounding turned dark. When I wake-up, I saw myself lying on the hospital. I am full of blood, and I can’t see my classmates. Two days after, I’m still on the hospital. All my classmates are already okay. I want to open my eyes but I can’t and I try to speak but I can’t open my mouth too. All my classmates, my parents and my relatives are standing around my bed. Finally I open my eyes and my mouth. I can’t breath but I forced myself. I just only say to them, “Thank you very much”.
