On the first semester this school year, I met this guy. He was my crush's friend and their group kind of knows me too since their other friend knows me. The first time we talked, he heard me sing an old song of Paramore and he jumped out of his seat to ask me if I like Paramore and I was like YASSSS.

And then we became friends and I found out that he and his other friend can play instruments. One time, I was at the rooftop with my blockmate then he came and then when he saw me, he asked me to sing Bryan Adam's Heaven.

At first, I was really shy and I was really intimidated by him. He was older and he was incredibly smart-- he' practically a genius. But I became a bit more comfortable later but I was still stiff.

So yeah, we sang and sang until our first class came and we had to separate.

Days passed by and we, together with his other friend, started talking more and soon, we created a band. We were supposed to join the battle of the bands but our submission was too late. I finally loosened up and I started talking to them a lot more by that time.

We didn't let it bring us down though, we continued and sometimes we recorded our covers. They are second years so we have different schedules. We don't really see each other everyday and we haven't jammed this whole week as well but on the new year... he sent me a text message.

A text message that contains how much they're disappointed that they didn't get to sing with me before I left for vacation and that they miss me and that they think I'm a cool person and that they want to know when I'll be coming back and that I should tell them if I'm leaving.

It's just so amazing to think that that message came from people I just met. I felt how sincere they were and specially because they're the quiet-smart type and I just.. I feel so flattered.

No special feelings, really. The three of us really sees each other as friends and I could see that growing into close friends sson because they are wonderful people.

The message was a bit long and I couldn't help but feel all jiggly inside because wow. I didn't expect to receive a message like that. It felt different compared to the wrapped gifts that my friends and family gave me. I mean, I appreciate them but this sincere message coming from someone I'm not even with everyday is..it's really just nice.

Some of you must think I'm over-reacting but seriously. I feel really happy just by that.

It's like the world's reminding me that someone cares.

Actually, to be honest, I've been rejecting their invitations to jam because I'm.. I don't know how to say it. I'm not pushing them away or anything, I'm just sorta thinking that they don't really care? That they're only inviting me because they have no one else to jam with? That if there was someone better than me, they'd take that someone with them instead? That one day, they're just gonna lose interest in singing with me suddenly?

I was kind of getting myself ready for the pessimistic outcomes that I thought of but the number of messages that they sent me and the words that's in it... I don't know.. Maybe I think too negatively.

And there was this time where he asked me if I could come with him but I rejected and lied then later on, I felt really bad because I found out that he didn't really want to jam. He just wanted someone to talk to and I talked to him through text messages and  was surprised that his motives were different. I thought we were only friends because of the band but to think that he chose to talk to me than his other friends.. I'm really flattered. It feels nice to have someone say that I'm their friend and he just wants to open up and.. sigh. 

I just hope that my negative thoughts weren't right. I only have a really few amount of people to hold on to and I'm really hoping that they wouldn't leave the group.

So you people out there who thinks that no one cares, you're wrong. Someone will come and that someone will listen and that someone will make you feel like you're worth something precious. May it be a friend, a family member, a special someone, a teacher, a stranger-- it will come.
