Sitting alone in the benches of my alma mater, the sound of the fountain in front of me slowly drowned me into thinking about a lot of things. I stopped myself before being completely engulfed in those senseless thought of mine.
I tried to close my but I realized that I would look stupid. I would look like a weirdo who's closing her eyes in public as if something is err, bothering me. I didn't really want to catch too much attention so I sat there quietly, observing my surroundings.
The sound of splashing water, the sound of cars passing by, the sound of the college students' 'takongs' while they were walking and the sound of students happily chattering were slowly becoming music to my ears. These sounds are overwhelming. Then I remembered the time when I was still part of that school, when I was also one of the students laughing while telling my friends about foolish things. I started to miss my former school. Somewhat I wish that I am still part of this institution. I suddenly missed high school, I envied those high school students then I remembered that two years ago I was wearing the same uniform, walking the halls of our building and I was surrounded with my high school buddies. Flashback, flashback, flashback. I just love how few things can make you remember your high school memories.
Suddenly it became quiet and all I could hear is the sound of water splashing against stone floor. I felt that none of my friends are coming because they are in their respective classes and I was getting bored sitting there alone. I realized, it was now time for me to leave.
