The most frightening feeling, is the innocent feeling of youth, madness, love wholeheartedly, hate wholeheartedly.
Despite being young, the memories left behind for a lifetime.
The first love is an unsuccessful love that always leaves painful regrets for the long haul later.
We continued to sit together until late at night, then everyone went home, the evening country road was deserted, but peaceful, I walked step by step on the street lighting by electric poles, slanting step by step. the house is too far away, a hand supported me, and it turned out that Thanh was still following me.
"Why don't you come back?" Even though I was drunk, I still recognized this friend, Thanh was always so thoughtful, and always cared about me, but he never said it.
"I'm afraid you'll get lost if you haven't returned home for a long time, so let's follow."
I just smiled and did not reply, so in the quiet night, the footsteps of two friends were bustling on the street. Going forever still hasn't come, but the footsteps can't go on, trying, trying, finally, 2 classic houses have appeared.
I waved goodbye to Thanh, the friend who saw me off to the front door also returned safely. With every step, I tried to get the key to open the door, open the first time, open the second time, open the third time.... still could not open.
"Hey hey, why don't you listen to me?" I shouted loudly, cursing the nasty key that refused to obey, suddenly the door opened, and a familiar figure in the house appeared again. It's a hallucination because he's appeared in my head so many times today, now too, it's just an illusion. I fell to the ground, unable to hold on anymore, the strongest hand burned me into the house.
The rooster crowed everywhere, the birds chirped and the rays of sunlight gently reached the corner of my eye, my head hurt like a hammer, probably because I drank too much yesterday, so my eyes couldn't open, I could only move. shaking hands and feet, rubbing his head, eyes still closed.
"Get up and eat, it's already late afternoon." Why did this cold tone make me sound so familiar?
"Hey, get up and eat lunch quickly, you keep skipping breakfast all the time."
"Don't break let me sleep" the words were also accompanied by a strong kick, and just like that, carefree continued to sleep.
Ly Chan Phong - is a friend who grew up with me during my childhood. Always by my side to protect me when someone comes near and intentionally teases me. And also the first love of childhood. We are neighbors, and our parents led us to the same kindergarten. Since childhood, I have loved dancing, being feminine, and always braiding my hair beautifully every time I go to class, so I am "favored" by many other young friends, but only Phong is the son that I trust. and play with it. I still remember that year when we were in the Leaf class, preparing to say goodbye to kindergarten, so I actively participated in many summarizing musical performances, such as singing, dancing, and even going to fashion shows. And he really refuses to participate in the arts, he has been a cool boy since he was a child because he is handsome and white, but now he wants to participate in the fashion show. I know the news is heartbreaking, but I'm also happy because it's the last year of school that we can participate in the arts together, what if we can't study together in grade 1, it's still better to have some shared memories. . It wasn't until the practice pairing that I found out that she kept winning the same pair with Ha Tien, the cute Vietnamese-Korean girl from the next class, because this is a common performance of the leaf class, so each class can choose a few. friend, no wonder the other Phong asked to participate in the arts, so he wanted to come along to hold her friend's hand. From that day on, I was angry with him, didn't talk to him, didn't even go over to his house to play anymore, I ignored him completely. So he sneaked over to the house to find me and saw me playing a cooking game. Smiling face, holding 2 packets of candy that I often eat with him, ran to give me 1 pack and then sat down "sell me a bowl of pho without vegetables, ma'am". I smiled with wide eyes and reached out to receive candy "wait 5 minutes, it will be available". So we played together again, and the anger of the day disappeared. Then there were the peaceful days, with the image of two children playing.
It wasn't until high school that we were put in the same class again. Going to school together again. The love of a child is easy to come but difficult to leave, so our love is bigger for the little girls and boys. Phong is the class president, he is inherently intelligent, he is loved by teachers and friends in grade 1, and so am I, so we are always paired together. Every time I get teased, I just smile shyly and he doesn't say anything, he doesn't seem to like people being teased like that. But back home, we were carefree people, as if we were too familiar with each other.
"Hey, are you going to the stream?"
"Let's go, wait for me"
"Hurry, go to the stream, I will catch fish and grill"
"Then I'll look for snails."
"Quick, quick, let's go, Bi"
Cool water flows through small feet, the cool feeling makes me excited. The small stream behind the village is a place that I and it are too familiar with in the summer afternoons when we escape from our parents to go out. We hunted snails together, caught fish, and jokingly threw water until we were both wet and cold before we ran back.
I really like flowers, when I was a child, my parents grew flowers together and sold them, behind my small house is a flower garden, the main source of income and support for the whole family. The small chrysanthemum is my favorite flower, it is both a symbol of a Dragon idol and a flower that it often picks up to put in my hair, the same flower is proof of the promise of age passionate children.
"Bi, if you're going to middle school in a few days and you don't go to the same class as me, will you still play with me?"
"Yes, I still play with you"
“What about level 3?”
"Still playing with you"
“Then it will be bigger and bigger later”
"I still play with you alone, I like to play with you, I don't find playing with anyone more fun than you, I will not stop playing or leave you"
"So....how come you grow up to be my wife, you and I can't be apart, right?"
"That's right"
"Then promise me, you won't leave me, and I'll marry you"
