Chapter 16: New Mental Issues.

     Anger?... I don't get angry, I don't usually get angry, I'm not used to that feeling, it comes but goes in no time, but this time, I reacted and how it happened, I don't know. I know that anger is not a good feeling, I have seen when the kids were corrected about it, most of them ends up being disciplined because of their actions, but this time, I just happened to do exactly the same thing that usually get them disciplined, I attacked him to a fight, overlooking the fact that we are friends.
Those words kind of hurt, I don't know the reason why it hurts but it kind of do, I have never seen Stella hanging out with guys, I don't know whether she does actually, I have never looked into it, but I have never seen her around guys, why then would my friend be saying those hurting words to me.
“ What's wrong?.... What did he do?....”, David asked, his question was clear but hard to answer, should I say that I attacked my friend because he was speaking like a moron?, His words weren't even directed at me, but it was directed to someone close, someone that not part of his concern, someone that belongs to me alone.
“ It's nothing bro, if you want to know about what he did, you should ask him yourself, I can't seem to answer that question....”, I said to him, looking away so as to avoid his eyes, David's looks usually feels like he can see through my soul, so I have to avoid that by keeping my eyes away from his. I don't know what's in his mind, but he just accepted my words and let go of me, knowing that I wasn't going to go attack him again.
I stepped away from the court as I went and sat down on one side of the stands, my hands covering my face in shame that I attacked my friend because of a girl who I am not yet sure whether we're into a relationship or not. I can see Drew getting treated with a first aid kit box and the others never came to me like David did, they were just watching me from a distance.
We all went home after the training with a negative energy, they all seemed held back with their conversation as if they were keeping me away from getting involved, they all left the car when they got to their different destinations as me and David drives back home in his truck.
“ Don't worry Jones, it will all be alright by tomorrow, we all are guys, our anger just fades away with time, just overlook it....”. I know that David was trying to be helpful, but a problem left unsolved isn't a great advice because one day, they'll surface back up again like the tension has always been there. 
Drew happened to apologize to me through the phone, he said he was sorry for saying those things to me, I was even the one planning on apologizing, but when he happened to do it first, I happened to use the opportunity to apologize to him too, looks like David was right after all, the men's anger fades away with time and here we're again, with positive emotions. I let David knew about Drew's call and he was satisfied with it, happy that the issue has been resolved.
It looks like the News never got to Uncle Dale's ear, he never spoke about my bad behavior and he never looked like he was hiding something, back at the Orphanage, even after you've felt remorse about your act, the kids will still let mother superior know about it because they don't keep secrets to her, you will always get disciplined no matter what, but this time, David never reported me, much like the incident have already departed from his thoughts.
Uncle Dale drives us to school depending on the occasion this days, since he repaired the truck owned by David his son, David was now the one driving both of us to school.
“ I thought you would tell your dad about my behavior yesterday?....”, I said to him, my eyes outside the window, I can hear the sound of giggles coming from my side, as if he finds it funny, I turned to him, taken aback by the unexpected reaction.
“ What?...”, I asked him, looking confused. “ This is not the Orphanage Jones, out here, we just don't speak out whatever that comes out from our mouth, we speak with caution, why can I tell my Dad about something like that when you guys have already forgiven each other?”, he asked me, finding the conversation funny.
“ Back at the Orphanage, we usually report the case even after the situation has been resolved. Mother superior is to know about what we did wrong so that we would be disciplined and not repeat the same act for the second time, that's what we were taught ”, I said to him, he was still grinning about it, despite trying to hide the laughter with one arm, it was still impossible, not when we was so close.
“ It doesn't work like that out here Jones, out here, you only answer to the question you're asked, depending on whether you wish to answer it or not, it's all your decision, you can't just reveal a person's act when you've got no reason to, no one is a saint ”. His words are clear, you don't have to push your brother or friend into pain when you've got no reason to, you have to keep your mouth shut when you don't want to answer the question, it's left for you to reveal whatever you wish to reveal and hide whatever you don't wish to.
Turns out that I can never stop learning new things as far as I am here, I thought that I haven't gotten the manual about how to live here in the outside world, but new knowledge continues to surface every single day I open my eyes and I am glad I am learning because whatever you learn, is how your kid would be trained, that I learnt from Mother superior herself.
