A new beginning after loss

When I was just a baby, my parents died early in an accident because they were arguing on their way home. Due to that, their vehicle crashed into a post. During those times, I was under the care of my grandmother, and I am the only child of Jim Garcia and Dianna Lopez.

Why did you do this to me?

Dianna cried, overwhelmed by the pain she felt.

Why, Dianna? I don't want this to happen either. "Jim shouted"

Didn't want it? I saw you both! You've been deceiving me for a long time, Jim!

Can you be quiet for a moment, Dianna? I'm driving.

I don't care! All I want is an explanation from you!

Jim and Dianna were arguing on their way home, but the unexpected happened. They had an accident and their car suddenly crashed into a large electric post."

"11 years later"

I'm going to school now, grandma. Where is my bag?

"Jay was looking for his bag"

It's here in the living room, Jay. Just get it here.

Okay, grandma. I'll get it and head to school.

Be careful on the road, Jay.

Okay grandma, Bye. "he said while walking out of the house"

Jay has left to go to their school.

"At Kanamungan Elementary School"

This is my last day as a Grade 6 student. I'm excited to be a high school student. I wonder what it feels like to be in high school.

he imagined the scenario of suddenly being a high school student.

Good morning, Jay. How was your day? "asked teacher Gwen"

Good morning, teacher Gwen. I'm doing fine and I'm happy because I'm graduating from grade 6.

You must be excited to become a high school student. Come on, let's go inside and take some pictures for your graduation.

Okay, ma'am, "Jay replied with a smile"

They went inside their room and started taking pictures.

"After the picture taking..."

Goodbye class, I'll see you on your graduation day.

Goodbye, ma'am,

the students said as they bid farewell to teacher Gwen.

I wonder which high school would be good to enroll in, Makarampa High or Kanamungan High... hmmm...

Jay thought as he walked home.

Grandma, I'm home! "Jay said happily."

Jay you're home! Come here, I've prepared some food for you. "offered Grandma Teresita"

Okay, grandma, thank you for the food.

My grandma is kind and caring. She showed and made me feel loved even though my parents passed away early. Every time I come home from school, she prepares food for me, which is why I'm a healthy and chubby kid. I can't resist eating because my grandma cooks so well.

Jay thought to himself while eating.

Grandma, I'm done eating. I'll go to my room and rest.

Alright, jay, get some rest. I'll take care of the dishes.

"Jay went to his room."

Tomorrow is our graduation day. I am so excited.

Jay thought as he fell asleep early due to excitement.

Upon waking up in the morning.

Jay! wake up! What time is it? It's already 8 in the morning. You might be late for your graduation.

Yes, grandma, I'm getting up now. "yawned"

After getting up, eat and take a bath.

Yes, grandma, I'll get moving...

Oh dear, this kid is always late in waking up. "scratched her head"

"A few minutes later"

Grandma, I have finished eating and taking a bath.

Come on, Jay, let's go, or we might be late.

Yes, grandma.

Grandma Teresita and Jay have left for the graduation, and after a few minutes, they arrived at the graduation venue.

The graduation day has started, and all the students are happy. Their parents are overjoyed because their children have graduated.

Congratulations to all of you, kids, for graduating from grade 6. "said Teacher Gwen happily"

Thank you very much, Teacher Gwen.

the students said joyfully.

Teacher Gwen approached Grandma Teresita.

Grandma Teresita, congratulations because Jay has graduated from elementary school, even though you're the only one supporting his education.

Thank you very much, Ma'am Gwen, but I don't know if Jay can go to high school because of my old age. No one will hire me for work. "Grandma Teresita said sadly"

Is that so? Well, how about this, Grandma Teresita i can hire you as a helper at home. Don't worry, the work won't be too heavy, and this way, you'll have some means to support Jay's high school education.

Thank you very much, Teacher Gwen, you are very kind.

Grandma Teresita said, tearing up.

You're welcome, Grandma Teresita. As long as it's for you and Jay, I'm ready to help.

Thank you so much, Teacher Gwen.

said Grandma Teresita gratefully.

The graduation of the grade 6 students ended happily.

Jay, come, and let's visit your parents' grave.

Alright, Grandma.

While Jay and his grandmother were on their way to his parents' grave...

Grandma Teresita, can you tell me about my mom and dad? "Jay asked."

No problem. Your dad was very handsome when he was young, that's why your mom fell in love with him. But of course, because your dad was handsome and had many female admirers, your mom had many rivals for his attention.

she said, laughing while telling the story.

Good thing he ended up with Mom despite having many women interested in him.

Of course, because if not, I wouldn't have a grandson like you, right?

Grandma Teresita said jokingly.

And Jay just laughed at what his grandmother said.

Jay, we're here at your parents' grave. Do you want to say something to them?

Jay approached his parents' grave.

Mom, dad, I graduated from elementary school. It's just a pity that you're not here at this moment, but even so, grandma is here taking care of me. Look at me, I'm healthy and chubby because grandma cooks delicious food, so I can't help but eat, haha. That's all I can say. "crying while saying these words"

rain drops suddenly fell.

Jay, let's go home now, it's starting to rain.

Yes, grandma, I'm coming... Until we meet again, mom and dad, bye.

While on their way home.

Jay, have you thought about which school you want to attend? "she asked"

Yes, grandma, I have thought about it.

Which school, Jay?

Makarampa High, grandma.

Are you sure? I've heard that there are many delinquent students at that school.

Grandma Teresita said, worried.

Don't worry, grandma. I won't get into fights with them, I'll try to befriend them.

Is that so? Alright, as long as you're happy, I'll support you. But this is what I have to say, Jay: if you have any problems or if they bully you, just tell me. Your grandma will handle it.

Yes, grandma, I promise.

Let's hurry home, grandma. The rain might get stronger.

Jay and Grandma Teresita are hurrying home because the rain is gradually getting stronger.

Despite hearing from his grandmother that there were many bullies at the school he planned to attend, Jay ignored it because, for him, being a high school student is fun.
