Summer.
995 Words
Andy was busy talking to the neighbors about which song of Ms. Thanh Tuyen was better, although he had never listened to her music. I had a class early in the morning, so I had to go to bed early, Hoai Thanh shut the door but did not rush to put the bolt since, first and foremost, the neighborhood's security is excellent, and, more importantly, Hoai Thanh home has nothing to steal.
It was daylight when I opened my eyes again; the weather was still pleasant, the night breeze was still blowing, and the latch was already in place; Andy must have installed it to assist.
Showering and getting ready takes about 30 minutes, and the school expects pupils to wear fully fitted long-sleeved shirts and pants. Each new white shirt in the closet likewise demonstrates Hoai Thanh's neatness; the rudder has no creases at all. There are several tiny shirts and two oversized shirts in the closet; the little shirt fits Hoai Thanh, and the large shirt suits Andy.
Hoai Thanh just bought a dumpling at the school gate and rushed to class; his class runs from 7:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., and he needs to stay at school until the afternoon since he has to study several courses in a row. He and Andy frequently use their lunch break at such times to dine, naturally in his car.
Hoai Thanh thinks it's silly that the girls are jealous of him since he isn't a girl.
Hoai Thanh had no idea that anyone who sat in Andy's back seat, including the dog and the cat, would act like that.
"Can you tell me where Andy is?" Aren't you accompanying him?
Andy classmate Oric was the one who spoke up. It swung over his shoulder, oblivious to the fact that it was foreign.
"How can I know I'm not his mother."
Andy's Geology department buddies would always ask him where his mother was whenever they saw him, much as children at home seeing their father did.
"You're acting the same way."
"Hasn't this dog eaten in a long time?"
Hoai Thanh hasn't said anything yet, but he's already recognized that deep voice; aside from Andy, no one likes to curse like that anymore.
"Wow, the realization happened so quickly."
Oric never asked him, and every time it was like way, Andy would materialize as if by magic.
I have the most contact with Oric of all Andy buddies, and he is also the most "healthy" of And friends.
"Let's go get something to eat. I'm famished."
"What the heck to eat? I'm about to enter the next class."
"So what?"
Both boys agreed that eating and drinking came first, and schooling came last for them. Hoai Thanh is a peculiar character as well.
When Hoai Thanh misses school for a few days, it's no big deal; he can add information quickly, whereas these two guys can't, Hoai Thanh has to instruct them every time they miss school. time, exhaustion
"You two go to school, and I'm going to school."
Hoai Thanh slipped from Oric shoulder and spun around to face the other way.
"All right, then, let's get to school."
Oric's smile froze as he heard that sentence; I can't believe my friend can go to school without eating or drinking.
"Your mother must be overjoyed that you are so dedicated to your studies."
That was a good meal, Oric shrugged.
"Isn't Thanh my mother?"
Andy tossed the empty bag to his friend; there were only a few notebooks in the briefcase, and the rest of the books were filled with other items.
This is the warmest week of the year, and the air is so hot every day that some children who haven't seen Hoai Thanh in a few weeks have discovered that they are terrified of the heat and have decided to stay at home. Nobody knew they were the first intellectuals of the next generation to be emancipated at the time, so they were free to do whatever they wished.
Hoai Thanh was a little proud of dragging Andy to school like now. I remember once in middle school around this month, suddenly it disappeared. Hoai Thanh was also stunned all day.
There were reports that he had to drop out of school because his family was impoverished, and then he was fired because no one knew his family was wealthy, including the principal, who was a friend of his father's.
Hoai Thanh and it publicly loathed each other at the time, and they had to swear at each other a few phrases every day to survive. Then it vanished, and no one cursed Hoai Thanh, which was also lacking.
Andy appeared when the warmest week had just ended, and Hoai Thanh was taller than him at the time. He didn't say anything, hit and kicked, he was punched in the face, his teeth were broken, and Hoai Thanh was bruised all over.
Hoai Thanh had no idea why he was battling it at the moment; he was eating breakfast at the start of the street when I saw him with a pleased look, so he stood up and beat him in the head with a bowl for no apparent reason. Specifically.
So, Hoai Thanh and his friends can't curse each other for a few weeks, so the mood isn't lovely for oranges, and the guy he despises is running about after his trip. Who wouldn't be irritated?
Two lives were colliding separately that neither of them realized at that time, in the summer with the sound of cicadas beneath the hot sun and harmony of singing.
How did I know that the person who hit me and shattered my teeth was the same person who had been with me all these years of growing up? I was thinking foolishly and without meaning at the moment.
Andy would never have known the fullness of humanity if it hadn't been for that individual.
