Dear Electra,
After a super long separation from you, here I am sitting on my comfortable bed writing a new letter! Since term 3 had begun last week, I've had to study for my tests and complete assessments in subjects that weren't my strengths. It was extremely provoking to complete tasks that needed to be submitted or fully learned in a strict time frame. I have to admit, I threw a few tantrums due to the stress.
Speaking of tests, when I received my geometry grade yesterday, it only took five seconds for someone to appear in front of me and scream, "MARIAN, WHAT DID YOU GET?"
FIVE SECONDS after peering at my percentage. Oh, my gosh. It was awful and humiliating. I jumped and slammed my paper down on my desk, concealing it with my arms.
When you ask someone for their test result and they refuse, please leave them alone. Don't threaten them or snatch their test away from them. If you compare test scores with a classmate, that will make you more insecure if you're the one with the lower grade.
But if you're desperate to hear some of your classmate's grades, it's inevitable that at least three of them will proudly announce their grades over a loud speaker phone.

Now that rant is over, let's move on to a nice topic. Also yesterday, the friendship troupe (Gwen, Sera (previously Clara/Regina), Elaine (previously Mary), Charisma, Anjeline (previously Sakura) and me) were congregating at lunchtime as we do. There was an insightful conversation between Gwen and Charisma about Gwen's religion since Charisma had never heard of it. Since I had nothing much to do (HAAAA!) with the conversation, I borrowed Sakura's iPhone 6 and filmed them, because who
wouldn't film their friends having an informative chit-chat?
Gwen and Charisma maintained a calm composure as I filmed them, but Elaine, who was squashed in between the two pulled faces and managed to grab the phone from me and capture my shy, problematic, pimply face.
When I got the phone back Sera, who was fantasizing behind the conference with Anjeline, suddenly squealed of excitement. Outside the lens stood a lone girl filming five heads of black and brown on an iPhone 6. I didn't mind not seeing why Sera bursted. It was pretty entertaining to capture my friends spending a lunchtime together, all content and loose. Plus, it would be kept in a secure place until we uncover when we graduate high school.
I can picture it! My friends and I, ditching the graduation party to open a box of our year nine shenanigans. Yes Electra, we are a group of friends willing to uncover memories, rather than creating more.
Stay powerful and beautiful as usual,
- M ★
