Chapter 2: Unfamiliar Yet Familiar
"Did you see how hot he was", gushed Ella.
Don't think she is talking about her boyfriend. It does not mean she does not have a boyfriend. She has a wonderful boyfriend. She is speaking about some famous rich guy again.
I don't have any problem with them but lately, everyone seems to be talking about them that it's so irritating that I don't like hearing their name even. I don't know why people seem to think that they are hardworking, handsome etc. Some are but some others are just rich parents rich children.
"He was looking so hot in that suit. Didn't you notice it on the TV"?
"No, I did not. Now talk about something else. I am fed up hearing everyone talking about him", I said.
"Oh come on, how can you not notice him, He is such a---"
"Whatever, please just... Let's talk about something else", I said.
"Fine, I don't know why you don't like handsome----"
"Stop".
"Ok, chill. I am not going to talk about him".
"Thanks", I said.
"Remember that once you also did like to hear about me", she said smiling at me.
That's true
I smiled back remembering how we used to be.
She and I had known each other from kindergarten. But we hated each other then. She used to do something to make me cry and I hated her. If an opportunity came, I would make sure she knew how much I hated her.
But I don't know how but Things changed in middle school. We started to hang out. I found out that she wasn't as bad as I thought she was and I guess she felt the same about me. Then slowly she became my bestie.
"We are different", I said. She nodded then the subject changed to random topics.
"So what's your plan for Saturday", she asked munching on a granola bar.
"I never had planned any Saturday, and like any other Saturday I don't have a plan this Saturday too", I said.
"You know, Saturdays are the best day of the weekend. No class and a day fully devoted to having fun", she said.
"Hmmm".
"I and Tess are gonna come over to your house on Saturday and have a movie night, what do you say", she asked.
It's been a long time since we had a movie night.
"Sounds good to me", I said.
"Then that's final".
We sat at the cafe and chatted about the upcoming football match at our school. It was the finals and I hope we win this time.
"Hey, what's the big crowd there", I heard someone say behind me.
I looked in the direction in which he was pointing at.
People seemed to be crowding at the entrance of the cafe. Few were going over to check what was happening.
I was also curious. But I was too lazy to go and look there. So I asked Ella to go.
She reluctantly left.
A few minutes passed.
The crowd seems to be increasing
People inside the cafe rushed to check what was happening.
And no sign of Ella yet.
What was happening there?
The inside of the cafe seemed empty now and all of them were at the entrance.
"Hey! aren't you going there?", someone asked me.
I looked up.
"Why am I supposed to be there"?
"Yeah, I guess... I don't know, everyone who knows who there seems to just rush there", he said.
Weird. Who's there?
"Who is there?", I asked.
"some famous guy".
Great, why is he here? Doesn't he have any other places to go to? Then why does he bother to come to this small cafe?
"Why is he here? Now I have to wait till he decides to go, so I can get something to eat?", I asked annoyed.
I am hungry and now, because of him, I have to wait longer.
"Why don't you want to see him", he asked.
"Why should I see him", I retorted.
What is his problem?
"I don't know what to say. You seem to be the first person who doesn't want to see him here".
"I am not like others who are so obsessed with rich people .", I said.
"Wow, you are one of a kind", he said surprised.
I don't even know why I told this stranger all these things. He pulled a chair across me and sat down.
Just then someone jogged towards where we were sitting.
"Hey we need to get out of here", he said hurriedly.
He looked at me then. He had worn a hoodie so I couldn't see his face.
"Not again. Who is she"? He asked the person who was sitting across from me.
"I don't know her name but she is a special one. You won't believe it but she was sitting here when all of them went to look for the famous dude", he said to the hoodie.
He lowered his hoodie.
"Wow, you look familiar", I said shocking myself.
He has a handsome unshaven face with a strong jawline, messy blonde hair, emerald green eyes.
I didn't know who this man was but he seemed familiar yet he was unfamiliar.
Familiar yet unfamiliar.
"No we have never met", he said as he raked his fingers through his hair as if debating what to say next.
"OK", I said confused.
Yes, I have never met this guy, though, something seems familiar about him.
"Hey, nice meeting you, we need to go now, bye", the one sitting across from me said.
He stood up and they both hurried through the back door of the cafe and vanished.
I was annoyed that Ella didn't come back even after waiting for a few more minutes, so I left and went home.
