I remember, on our first day of high school, the excitement as everyone crowded around the bulletin board where our classes were pinned up eager to find out who was in their class (and who wasn’t). I started to read the 7G class roll, “7G…uh…nope…dunno who that is….ah! Angela Zhou…she’s from Carlo…I’ll sit with her…” Little did I know, five of those names I read were going to become one of the closest friendship groups that I would ever be a part of…

I guess SG really started with Tom. (Oh, thank you ^^) But it is also due to us (Bob, Jerry, George, Fred and I)

It started when Jerry, Bob and I began finding it funny that Tom would take ages to realise that we had secretly taken her stuff (eg. Glasses case, glasses cloth etc.) We found it so funny that she would come so close to seeing it (it was usually hidden in a really obvious spot-no offence Tom) but not realise until the end of the period. Now, yes, thinking back, I realise how mean that was so before we go any further, I would like to apologise again to Tom. I hope you forgive us. –fingers crossed-

Ok, so eventually, Tom got so pissed at us and Jerry, being the kind and considerate person she is, told us that we should probably stop. I think that’s how it started, at least. Anyway, then Tom started getting to know George (obviously, none of us were called by these names yet) and then became good friends with her. So, that’s when George started sitting with us in class and of course, good loyal Fred comes along.

That’s how we started sitting with each other and then Fred would come with us to recess and lunch. (I remember Fred’s other friends would come and try to drag her back to them. I think after a while, they realised that she was with us now.)

Anyway, I was just thinking about how cool it was that everything lead onto something else. And that a bad thing (Tom being annoyed with us) lead to a great thing (formation of SG).

I’m glad that SG exists as I don’t know what Year 8 and the rest of my high school years would be without all my fellow SG-ers.
