I have always believed that without having good companies or classmates in a school, a student’s life would never really be that fulfilling and colourful. Not to mention, I have also had my fair share of classmates, who have enriched my life with many great experience and memories as a young man, and today, I would like to talk about one of them. The name of this classmate of mine was “Himu”, and we had attended the same class together from 8th grade to 11th grade. Not sure how or when I exactly met Himu, but I am assuming that I might have formally met him or talked to him at the local bookshop for the first time when we both were trying to buy some storybooks.

Of course, before that time, we both had seen each other, but never really felt the need to communicate. But, however, it was at that time I found that just as I liked to read adventure stories, and that was the first thing that I knew about Himu other than we both were studying in the same grade. Anyway, later on, I came to know that this classmate of mine didn’t really like to go to the school that much even though, I found him to be a rather brilliant student. Besides, being the only son of a very rich father, I realized that he didn’t really need to go anywhere, much less a school.

Anyway, as classmates, one of our most favourite things to do was to visit a local shopping centre and enjoy our favourite ice creams during the break. Besides that, we also liked to watch football games together.

I still remember this classmate of mine because he was a very laidback and easy going guy with virtually no remorse or expectation. Besides, I never really think of a time when we had any arguments with each other unlike with many others. Finally, I remember him also because he never failed to invite me to his home if his family was having any kind of parties or celebrations.
