Seminarista? Sino?

1 sunny humid day, my class in Ancient Philo ended too early so I decided to walk with one of my girl classmate to the cafeteria and have some heavy snack. While we walked we bumped into a boy whom my classmate recognized as an old friend who was once a seminarian so she said her hello and politely asked "Seminarian?"

I noticed that the boy had a sudden dark look on his face. He shook his head heavily and said "No way!" And he scrambled away as though in an urgent hurry.

Witnessing what the boy did, I just smiled and sighed deeply.
As we helped ourselves to the served blessing in front of us, quiet curious, I asked my classmate if she was certain the boy she bumped into was a seminarian before.

"Of course yes! What a funny boy, denial king he is," she answered trying very hard to stifle her laughs.


Well, I just cannot figure out a reason why Mr. denial king flatly denied that he was once seminarian. Perhaps, he just does not want to be given much attention or maybe grievances hide in the deepest of his emotions. He might have deep reasons to deny a part of his life like hiding a chapter of a novel by scraping it off however his reasons might not be justifiable enough to deny a colorful part of his life.
