Chapter 2: Why Not Me?
I wore a Black crisp shirt with a faded jeans and carried her favorite Chocolates and Flowers. When I reached where she's standing, she turned around herself.
"Adam? My Adam?" She couldn't believe I was standing in front of her
"Yes Danielle, it's me"
"I ...missed you"
"No you didn't, Romero? Where's he?" I asked pissed
"I broke up because..
....because?" I asked
"I love you Adam, I always have" she said and kissed me.
I woke up with a thud, damn why don't such things happen in real? I saw Stanley sitting with his head in his hands. If you thought why does i can see Stanley the moment he woke up... yes you are guessing right! no we're not gay, we stay at hostel. He stays here because he have many family problems and i because I don't have any!
"What happened?" I asked
"Nothing just a bad dream about my sister"
"Why what happened to her? And don't worry it was just a dream"
"I know Adam but it was true, she got pregnant from her boyfriend and he left but what I saw later I couldn't bear it"
"What Stan? It means you're not having dreams but you keep thinking about it and that stuff keeps playing in your head even when you are unconscious, that's not healthy mate."
"She cut her slit and died, I could never take that image out of my head. I proved to be a bad brother, I should have protected her, I should have been with her but I don't know how to, when I approach her I can't seem to talk anything, it all happened because of me" he winced
"Hey! No way in hell will you blame it on yourself, it just happen okay? Now you take my phone and call her talk it all out you will feel better. What had happened you can't change it but now you can lessen its effects or make her happy by being with her" i offered
"I can't! What will I say? She's miserable because of me"
"No Stan come on, I'll give you privacy and you will talk your heart, okay?"
I went to washroom and did the necessary and came back to see a tension-free Stan on his bed with my phone in his hand.
"You talked ?"
"I did, she thought I didn't care about her because of my stupidity. We talked and she scolded me for blaming myself, Adam thank you bro" we hugged
College time was really boring, if it wasn't because of Danielle i wouldn't attend daily, even if i would only get to look at her or maybe sometimes hear her voice all these boring classes doesn't matter.
Start has been nice because my friends humiliated Scar- whatever her name, it made my day. I really get happy when she's worried or suffering, i knew it is cruel but i can't help it. She have always been a problem, if I and Dan are nothing now it's because of her and i can never make her suffer enough for all of this. All the classes were the sleeping periods except the literature one because it's my favorite I won't admit this to my friends because they would call me pussy because they think of literature as a weak subject that only girls can like it.
I beg to differ because the father of literature was William Shakespeare, wasn't he a man? If he had friends like this, if he had ignored literature what would have happened? No Hamlet, no Romeo and Juliet, they were a big contribution to literature, I am a coward because i can't proudly say that in front of my friends, i want to keep it as a secret.
Today she taught us the chapter Evans tries an O'level, it's a nice chapter about a lad who has kleptomania, who breaks out of jail after the exam of O'level German exam, I have already read the whole textbook so he knew all the stories but still when ma'am taught us i got to know so many different and new things related to Germany, i have fervent interest to know more about my people i.e Germans.
Then lunch went boring, i was seated with his group of people. They consist of Ryder, Stanley, Mark, Stella and Portia. I really like sitting and gossiping with them but i don't like their thinking that much except for Stanley's, except him they all don't believe in relationships they only worship one night stand even i do but I believe in love but in front of them act as if I'm cynical about it too. They treat girls as time pass even if i do one night stand too I'll never disrespect any girl.
Then Danielle came with her bitch folks which she considers as her friends. I don't know their names but i hate them already, Danielle is wearing pink today well she wears pink everyday and she loves pink. She has those smooth silky and soft hair which she likes to keep open and each time I watch it I only wish to bury my face and smell her. Damn her lips, I'm in love with the shape of her, she is talking on phone with someone and smiling, I feel envious of the caller, when will she notice me and laugh on my jokes too?
"Adams are you coming to the Party this Saturday?" Ryder asked
"Sure, who's is it?" I asked
"Who else? Romero's, he's the best" Mark said
I felt like a pin darted through my throat, it pains to hear that ass's name because she likes him but i will never show this to my 'so called friends'.
"Yeah he is" I replied and the conversation kept going but I wasn't on earth
Stanley asked for a ride home and i obliged, he liked a girl I was quite unsure of the name but she's an outcast that's why he believes in relationships I know weird right?
"So since when do you like Danielle?"
I almost choked up on my saliva, how did he know? Did he tell anyone? It would be so embarrassing when everyone will know that i was a sidekick, that i too believe in love. Shit
"What? Who Danielle?" I pretended
"Come on dude I won't tell this to single soul, I can see it. The way I look at Nureen you look at her, that longing is undeniable" he said
"Since we were 12, we... were in the same orphanage but she got adopted at the age of 15 and I got scholarship and came here"
"That's a long time man, if you don't mind could i tell you something?"
I nodded "I think she's already into someone"
"I know it's Romero but can't stop it, I expected you to know it" i said
"I do, of course"
I went to my dorm and flopped on the bed. I really don't have anything to do, no fights today. It is really hard to sneak out from the hostel at nights but i do anyhow and it is harder to survive without money in this town. I really need money, not now but in future and I'm worried if I will ever be able to cure her. I suddenly felt something vibrating and realized it's my phone, I like that feeling when each time I get a call I expect it to be Danielle. I don't know why I keep feeling it.
"Hey Rock, this Saturday ready at downtown?" It was Mack, the fight arranger
They talk really secretly because fights are illegal and very rare nowadays and they don't want police to raid them.
"Not Saturday Mack, what about Friday? How much is it?" I asked
"That's the news Rock, it's double the last time money offered. So Saturday it is then" he cut the phone
I need to warm up, I went for a jog and did many rounds of push ups.
