Late update! I've been really busy this past week and when I'm not busy, I'm 'lazy' and spend my time binge watching Naruto or reading. Let's just say I was gathering inspiration. No need to be violent😂

The biting cold that slapped me was very unwelcoming.

The fact that Fruit didn't tell me what was going on in his mind hurt me a lot.

Back in the days, we were sort of an item but without the title because let's face it, the title really adds nothing to you.

We shared secrets and told each other everything, ranging from stupid to deep.

Jon Bellion sang 'stupid deep' so he probably gets me.

I chose to walk to school so I could clear my head. There's a first time for everything.

Digging out my headphones from my bag, I plugged them in and started walking briskly.

30 minutes later and I was still closer to my house than I was to school.

Sitting in a vehicle made me feel like school was so close yet here I was, huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf and I had not even gone halfway.

Nobody needs to remind me never to try this again. I'll definitely be late for school at this rate.

Wasabi by Little Mix started playing and I knew I was walking faster.

Something about fast beats increasing your heart beat and making you try to keep up or something like that... I guess. I really don't know.

Next thing, Bored by Billie Eilish started playing so I started walking at a really slow pace.

This happened for a while. Fast walk, slow walk, slow song, fast song... Till I changed to my party playlist so I could walk fast.

I was no longer angry with Fruit. All I needed at this moment was to get to school!!
Every other issue will be solved later.

My legs were already hurting me a lot.

You're probably expecting someone I know to be driving past, see me and stop. Probably roll down the glass of their tinted car window, tell me to hop in and drive away.

I'm sorry to disappoint you. Life doesn't always give us what we want.

At this point, my fingers were numb.
Trying to distract myself, I started playing around with things in my head.

But come to think of it, if I find ten homeless ants and give them a home, does that make them my tenants?

I was snapped out of my thoughts as freezing cold water touched my skin.
A car zoomed past using my clothes to mop the puddle of water.

It was the school 'bad boys'...How cliche. They're going to school so early. Peep the sarcasm.

One and a half hours later and I had made it halfway to school. Yay me!!

•••

When I finallyyyyy made it to school, it was already lunch time. I had already missed half of the day. At least I could refuel!

My skin was pale and my chances of having hypothermia were skyrocketing.

Shivering towards my locker, I felt a warm feeling envelope me. A black leather jacket sat on my shoulder warming me. Clenching it in my tightly wound fist, I pulled it closer to myself inhaling. The scent was mouth watering and made me hungry.

Looking up and expecting to find a cliche bad boy, I was not disappointed. One of the humans who splashed water on me stood there, smirking at me.

What surprised me was the person who owned the leather jacket standing beside him. Diane. My 'best friend'. Shocker.

Guess I shouldn't say what. Who is more appropriate. Then again, who cares?

I had not seen or heard from the girl in so long. Not even a text.

"Hello stranger"
I tried to say coldly. You know, because I was cold and shivering. Not because I'm angry or anything.

My teeth chattered, make it sound funny.

She just laughed as she pulled me into a hug. Ignoring whatever I felt before, I welcomed her body warmth and hugged her tighter.

The guy she was with just stood there acting awkward.

"Where have you been?"
I asked her still inhaling her strawberry scent but looking into her eyes.

"And why aren't you eating?"
I added as my stomach reminded me of how hungry I was.

She quickly diverted her eyes as she started trying to form an excuse.

"I've been busy. My mom... uh, she had to travel for something important... and maintaining the house myself is not easy."

What is it and everyone lying to me today?

I pulled out of her embrace and walked away. The cold didn't even waste any time catching up since my clothes were still wet.

There was no lost and found place for me to change my clothes so I was stuck wearing cold clothes for the rest of the day.

Hopefully they dry before I become a Popsicle.

"Wait up!"
Diane said catching up to me.
"You aren't planning to ditch me, are you?"

She slung an arm around my shoulder and rubbed my head like a dog. A very nasty habit that always left me looking homeless.

"Dianeee, you're messing up my hair"
I groaned as I tried to fix it back.

She raised her hands in surrender.

"You look like a mutt"
She laughed, dragging me to get food.

•••

School food isn't that nasty but it can be better.

Getting some chips and an apple, weird combination. No judging, Diane and I sat at our regular table before our mini fallout without the fallout and made small chit chat.

She was talking about where she was going during the Christmas break. Some family vacation or something like that.

I zoned out. Who zones out on their best friend?

She nudged me, forcing me back into the conversation.

"I asked where you were going for Christmas or were you not listening to me?"

I smiled awkwardly, hoping deep down she wouldn't get angry that I was not listening to her.

Before I could tell her about the very interesting place I was going to for Christmas break a.k.a my aunt's house where I store all my belongings, I felt lips on my forehead.

What is this world becoming??? Like who daressssss to lay those soft, pink blobs of skin on my forehead?? Have they no manners?

Looking up, I threw my arms up, wrapping them around the neck and squeezing the life out of that poor, unfortunate soul.

"Telracs, relax. I can't even breathe."
Abel mumbled into my ear, his voice low and husky.

Ooooouuuuuuuuuuu

"And why do you smell like a fish?"

Such a nice thing to say. Boosting a girl's ego.

I was actually going to let him go but that silly question made me grasp his neck tighter.

I felt his fingers crawl up my sides, leaving tingles as he slowly went up to my armpits.

Before I could piece two and two together, he tickled me with one hand, using the other one to hold me close to him ensuring that I don't run away.

I fought a losing battle trying to get him to stop tickling and let me go.
I tried kicking and shoving. I even punched him but the guy is strong.

Did I forget to mention the washboard abs I felt under the T-shirt when I tried to shove him? Guess so.

When nothing worked, I tried the last thing I knew. I mean the cafeteria was noisy and nobody would notice but Abel.

Gathering up all the loose air in my system, I tried to force out a fart. I was already laughing so hard, I was crying.

At the same time I felt the fart close to the surface, the doors to the cafeteria were banged open and in walked Fruit. The whole cafeteria went silent.

That moment was the one of many, that the fart chose to come out... Loud!!!

Everyone turned in my direction and I felt so embarrassed. To add to the matter, Abel started laughing and Fruit joined him, going as far as to point at me.

Anybody who wasn't sure, was sure now. I had never felt more mortified in my life.

Calmly taking a seat back at my table, the guy with Diane smirked at me, further coating me in a new layer of embarrassment.

"Didn't know a girl could pass gas like that."

At that, the whole cafeteria burst into laughter at my expense.

Could this day get any worse?

Turns out I was just lazy because I wrote most of this at a go.
For Naruto people, Kakashi or Itachi??

Peace out, muchachoos 😌
