I Met Him Online

The pandemic made everything worst. Our lives has been ruined and many are experiencing financial and food problems. I don't know but I was just lying on my bed the whole day. Mom and dad was been outside, talking what should they do in order to buy foods for dinner. My sister was at her bed right beside mine and just scrolling on her phone the whole day. We did nothing but just let the day pass without doing nothing. "When will you know your section this upcoming school your, sis?" My sister asked. I don't know if she was looking at me. My eyes are wide open but my mind is in the other dimension. "I don't know. I don't even know if I got accepted on the school that I have enrolled." I replied. What you see is right. I don't know if I really got in to the school where I enrolled myself. It was an online enrollment and they didn't even notified us, or maybe just me that I got accepted. This school year will become an online class. I don't know what to feel but I think this may be hard, especially that I am used to go to school in the morning and come back home at 5 pm, looked haggard. *Ting* My phone beeped so I opened it and I saw a notification on f*******:. It was the page of the school. I took a sit on my bed and I am trying to calm myself. I am trembling, yet I am excited. Maybe it was the sectioning of this school year's seniors. I was already a senior but I still can't get over with my friends back on 10th grade. I miss them a lot, but what can I do? I cannot go out even if I wanted to. The whole city was still under General Community Quarantine. I took a deep breath and opened my f*******:. There are lots of notifications but I just focused on the notification of the school page. I opened it and I am not wrong. It was the list of the section based on the academic track STEM TVL ABM HUMSS Okay! Saw it! "Sis! The list of sections has been posted already." I said. "Really? What's your section?" she asked excitedly. "Wait! I haven't seen it yet." I searched for letter P to each section and I saw mine on the second. "Sophia J. Philips. There! I am on the second section of HUMSS." I said. I may not be showing my real emotion to someone beside me but deep inside, I really am happy and excited. "See. Maybe your school was not just notifying students." Sis Van told me. I can now sleep with peace because I already had a section. I was being anxious for these past few days because I saw some of my friends on f*******: posting about their sections. "Who's your adviser?" she asked. "Wait." I searched for the name of my adviser. "Here. Anjeaneth Geromino." I pointed on the name of my adviser. "Maybe she's a new teacher, or maybe I just don't know her when I was at your school before." Sis Van said and came back to her bed again. I just ignored her and just focused on the names of my classmates. We are 52 in class. More on girls compared to girls. I don't know anyone of them so I was thinking how could I have a friend for this school year especially now that it is online. Luckily that I am in online class. I they had put me on modular then it may be hard for me. I'm just into reading books and stories but I'm not interested about reading school topics. It's making my head ache. The dinner came and I shared it to my family that I already got a section. I said I am in online class so I needed an internet for it. That's also the thing. We didn't know where to get money for the internet. Phone is the only thing I had. "What if you choose modular, don't you want it? " father asked. "No. It was just the same to online. I still needed internet when I had to search something. It's better if online because I just had to listen to the teacher's discussion and do my school works. Unlike modular, I have to understand eveeything all by myself." I reasoned out. All of us became silent and just continue eating our food. Father was just watching tv while drinking liqour and the rest of us just kept on eating. Now it makes me lose my motivation to go online. "Let's ask help to your older sister, Angie. For sure she'll help, especially that both of you are going online." Mother suggested. We finished eating and sis Van and I came back to our room. We share the same room so we had a close bond to each other. I opened my phone and I saw that there is a group chat with 5 messages. I opened it and it was a group chat of our section. I got excited and nervous at the same time. But all of it was gone when after our adviser gave instructions, no one replied. Now I don't know how would I interact with them. I closed the group chat and just scrolled on f*******:, sharing memes and watching k-pop videos. This is what only makes my quarantine life not boring. It was about a couple of minutes until the group chat was visible to my screen again and it has 2 unread messages. I opened it and saw one of my classmates opened a topic. Her name is Sarah. I don't know but I have a feeling that she is friendly and easy to get along with. But also, I can feel that she is also a warfreak. Just on my first impression. "Hello Classmates! Nice to meet you!" she chatted. With just that the group chat became noisy and many of my classmates started chatting, trying to know each other. That made me excited and wanted to chat and greet them, but I feel anxious that maybe they won't like me and just gonna ignore me. But I still did. I sent the message and closed my phone because of too much nervousness. I took a deep breath before I opened my phone again and when I opened the group chat, everything I saw made me smile. I think this is the start of my online class life.
