Angla's Diary

The crowd squeezed Angla into a corner in front of the gym, she almost had a hypoxia in this narrow space. She was wearing the EarPods, she couldn't hear any noise coming from outside. Angla was staying in her own world. Brisk Music in EarPods flooded her brain. “Be my friend, surround me like a satellite…”Probably is because the other new grade 9 students did not want to wait for the door to open any more, she felt a push was behind her back. And then, one of the EarPod dropped out of her ear all the way down to the floor. She was trying to look for it, but she couldn’t move at all. At the same time, the schoolmaster walked to the gym with the sounds of the key. After the door opened, the crowd moved forward at an amazing

When Angla first saw the dining in her school, she suddenly understood how important it is to have friends.The restaurant was neatly packed with dozens of long tables. Because her locker is far from the dining hall, when she arrived there, there was almost no seat left.“If I have friends, at least they can hold a place for me.”At this big dining hall, Angla didn’t know where she should sit. Even just sit or stand somewhere, that is still a kind of torment for her.At first, she wanted to find somewhere which could sit beside her classmates.But they dispersed everywhere like sands. Everybody has better friends out of the class.Without her EarPods, the noise was so e

Her first time to know about this word was from an old Chinese movie. Angla clearly remembered that there had a few large characters in a restaurant in the film ———-“Chink and dogs cannot enter”. At that time Angla was still so young, her only memory was her grandpa holding her sitting in his knee, pointing those words and saying to her: “The pan-yellow films recorded the most authentic look of old China. See, Angla, this was what happened in my age, an unforgettable insult———— you can never forget it.”The first impression of “chink” in her mind was just something abstract, blurry and mean insult.Angla never thought about one day she would be insulted even in the dream. At least she knew she would be mad if someone really did something bad on her.

After the quiz of Math, the Computer Science test soon arrived as scheduled.In the first month of study, Angla wasn’t paying any attention in class, her thoughts never stayed on Mr.Hayden’s words even a second. The first thing she always does after walking into the classroom is sit in the backseat and say “here” when Mr.Hayden is calling the roll, then take a nap and leave at the end of the class. Although her attendance was perfect, however she just came through the motions.Angla looked ignorant before the test started. In fact, she had no clue she was going to do a test. What she could never bear, is the pitying from her conceited deskmate Jake.  “Good luck soldier… I actually admire you for daring to sleep in Mr.Hayden’

The heavy clouds covered one corner of the clear blue sky. Angla was covered by the peculiar heat of summer, her eyes didn't adapt to the glaring sunshine which blazed down from the upward side, her vision was hazy and white, full of loss and confusion.
