Narrative Story


There was the time that changed everything about me, the time that I struggled and thinking about it too much that I lose weights and lack of sleep. It happened when I was in 7th grade at AIS, when Zad, (the 8th grade student that I knew and became sister with her) is still at Nguyen Huu Canh campus. It’s all started in the ICT room when I started to talk impertinent and angry of my friend on the internet because they insulted my favorite comic book. I didn’t even understand my feeling at that time, I felt like fire are burning inside me and even water can’t calm it down.  
“Calm down! You are being very rude you know that?! Stop bouncing up the wall because of something so small! Grow up a little don’t you?” Zad said with her voice raise up. I could see inside her are fill with fire, her hands clench to hold back her anger, I could see them clearly. But still, at that moment I couldn’t control myself spurt out
“I don’t need you to teach me that! You are not even my real sister! I can say whatever I want and THAT doesn’t concern who in it!” That was the most horrible thing I’ve ever said in my life. I felt horrible, I regretted it. Zad is the one that teach me how to stand up, how to fight back. And now, I’m the one that say horrible things to her. There were like something that crush through my heart, my legs were trembling. I might faint and fall down. From that time, Zad began to avoided me and stay away from me as hard as she could. I tried to talk to her but she didn’t answer me, she walked away. I couldn’t stand it so I started to think what did I say back then. Why did I say something like that? Do I really have to be angry about that? I come up with all of those kinds of questions, and then I realized that I was a jerk. No, even worse than that. So one day after school, I called her outside and the back of the school to talk. But since I’m not the one that could express my feeling by words well, I said:
“I know I’m wrong and I’m really a bad girl. So just be normal again okay? It’s nearly Tet and I don’t want our relationship of sister to be like this.” I said in a clear and loud voice, but I’m actually was trembling and really nervous inside. I took a deep breath and stared at Zad. She said:
“You know, I don’t wanna to be angry at you, but you are being very impertinent. I hope you learn something. You know, I still have a feeling that you didn’t learn a lesson, you just say it just for make up with me! If I forgive, you will never learn your lesson!”
“I don’t need to learn a lesson! I’m just being impatient and can’t control myself at that time! Do you have to be angry over something small like that?! You are the one that told me to calm down in every situation and now you are the one that being angry over a tiny thing like that!” THAT is another horrible things I’ve ever said to her. I know it’s really bad, but I just can’t stand her at that time! The laughter of our friends playing became a crying sound and the wind passed through feel freezing. We were both stupid for arguing! She was right, I should learn my lesson is to calm down and think before I talk. But it looks like that she doesn’t get me at all. From that day on, we changed our perspective of each other. I started to think again, I didn’t eat and sleep much. I was too worrying so much, every time I saw her, I tried to talk to her, but she still didn’t listen to me and still trying to get away from me. Now I’m seriously regretted what I said to her at that day.
But then a couple days later, she suddenly bought me a poster of my favorite comic book. At first, I was surprise and I couldn’t believe it!
“Well, both of us had a lesson to learn! Sisters can be arguing sometimes right?” Zad said, her face is looking another direction. I understand her, even thought she is not my real sister, but she is older than me and she have the right to teach me. I accept those gifts from her as a make up gift.
From that big event, I learn my 3 lessons and they changed my whole life. The first one is I have to be calm at every situation. No matter how bad it is, always stay calm.. Another one is that, don’t ever make Zad mad. Because when she is mad, it took a really long time for her to recover. The last important thing is to think before you talk, but don’t talk all you think. We don’t have to buy words to speak to each other, so choose the right word before you speak.
