The First Gems to Light My College Life

I was browsing through files and files of photo when I stumbled into this. It gave me a thought of reliving the memories from the past
.
This were my first few friends at the start of my college life. You see, I was such a loner. Always by myself. I eat alone during lunch. I would just sleep or walk alone during long breaks. Everywhere, you'd see I'm always alone. I was never the usual "people" person. maybe because I have a trauma from my bitter high school life. During high school, only a few people talk to me. I don't know why. Sometimes, I think it's because I'm so fat they don't like me. Or the thought that I came from the province that we can't connect to each other or something because they grew up in the city.
I could still remember that fine fateful day when Monna (Honey) approached me and offered, "Kyle, gusto mo sumama mag lunch? Tara!". I couldn't say "no", so i tagged along. I was exhilaratingly happy. "At last," i thought to myself, "i found new friends in college." I just kept quite. I couldn't say anything.

A Short Commercial
"I've know Monna since high school.
She used to borrow math book from me.
We had common friends in high school
that's why during freshmen years in college
i was relieved to have known someone from high school"

We were at the cafeteria. I could still remember who sits next to who.
I was sitting with Miko at my right, and Billy at my left. Miko and I were already exchanging cellphone numbers. Then i got to exchanged numbers with everybody.
Billy was beside Vaiden.
On the other side, It was Pat and Gwen sitting together. On Pat's left, it was Honey and Nikki.
Heide was still sitting with us then.
She was part of the original. but then later on she can't stand to be with the same people over and over again. though we remained good friends still.
Then and there, I expressed my feeling of having a crush on Gwen. She never took it against me. She never avoids me. She just acts normal and as far as i could remember. She was flattered.
Well, the "barkada" lasted for the whole school year I think. But between those times, we couldn't avoid fights, arguments that would leave me to come and mingle with other people.
We talk behind our backs. Well, it was the usual petty things teenagers do.
Oh how i miss those days laughing with them, eating lunch with them, watching movies with them, chatting with them...
I hope, just for a week... We'd spend time together again.
A picnic, a camping or a night out...
Well, even though we've got our own lives to deal with, I will always treasure them forever.
They were the first gems to light my college life.
Even though, we've got some petty problems with each other, still, I wouldn't exchange them for anyone. If i have to go back to the first day in college, I would still choose them as my first friends in College.
