You know, just in case you don't...
I might look like I still have a lot of friends.
But I don't text any of them.
In fact, I don't text anyone anymore.
I keep waiting for my phone to ring.
My only 'friends' who actually text me are Maxis and Digi.
I'm not joking.
Every day, I wait.
And I wait.
Then I remember, oh yeah!
I 'dumped' all my friends long ago because of...
You?
You.
I thought all I needed was you.
Because you were there all the time.
Then you were gone.
Now I'm left empty-shelled and alone.
I'm not joking.
People and friends I 'left' long ago, now have their own cliques.
And I'm not included in any of them.
They still talk to me.
But whatever happens, I'm not 'close enough' to be involved because they assume I belong elsewhere.
Every day, I log on to Facebook.
I see parties.
I see pictures.
I see people that I used to know so well, in the pictures.
I hear you, talking about going to parties.
Invited to dinners.
So many friends but who ever starts a conversation with me?
So many 'likes' for things I posted but who actually know what I'm talking about?
So many comment for things I posted but who actually talks to me off-Facebook?
People stopped inviting me.
I don't go to parties anymore.
I don't go for movies anymore.
I'm not invited anymore.
Cause "Weini is too busy for us..."
Or maybe there's some bad rumours about me going on around that I don't know?
Why did people suddenly stopped becoming my friends?
I hear you ask, then why didn't you try and make new friends?
Let me answer you, I did.
I tried, really hard.
After I came to this class, and all my friends I used to hang out with a lot, are left in that other class.
I kept trying...
I tried talking to you all, but you know what?
Every time, you all walk in pairs, I seem to be the one disturbing.
Some of you actually ignored me.
Sometimes, I walk away.
Feeling rejected.
I tried...
You want some proof?
I was talking to you and suddenly, you walked away with Wilson.
I was talking to you and suddenly, you asked where Anne was and walked away.
I was talking to you and suddenly, you talked with Sumitra.
I was talking to you and I was reaching my class, I said bye but nobody answered me because you all were so busy talking among yourselves.
See?
No, you don't see.
You don't see at all.
But you probably don't bother.
Even if I died today, my wake will probably be only my family members.
But I'm not saying that I'm committing suicide or what.
Why should I waste my life just because people don't care?
I just wanna leave this place where everyone has their own friends except me.
It's just too late to be accepted into any cliques anymore.
Anyone who read this, if there's any at all, might think :
Hey! I do care!
And you might probably start texting me out of the blue.
But if I haven't said this before, would you have actually thought about texting me?
I don't know...
I don't know anymore...
Every night I lay awake in my bed, I pray, wishing to get over this lonely phase in my life quickly.
If this is some test from God, I really hate it.
Cause it hurts.
It's just a duration too long...
To be empty and so alone.
To be aimlessly walking around the school making empty talks with everyone knowing that I won't hear from them after school.
I've been called an attention whore.
I know because someone told me that.
But so what?
Even if I am, I'm not the one getting invited to parties, to hang out, to group studies.....
The last time I actually chatted with someone through text is 2 weeks ago.
Probably more.
I never went so long without texting before.
I want to start a new life now.
I want to just graduate from this hell hole right now before it rips me completely apart.
I want to go somewhere else, far from here.
I just don't wanna stay here and wake up everyday, assuring myself (or lying to myself) that today will be the day someone will actually and finally return my efforts.
That today, God's test will finally end.
No one can stay alive without friends.
Not me.
I'm already half dead...
Can God send someone to me now?
Cause I really need someone before I really die.
