Chapter five:

A picture of Zayn;

I wish highschool could teach us things we would want to know. Its not that i dont like learning indeed i love learning stuff but the way teachers teach is just boring.

For example in science, instead of teaching you how to decode DNA they'll teach you how to classify animals with their latin names, is their any purpose of this? No!

I am in literature right now and to be honest, i hate the english language. Its not useless it just gone too far for my liking. I still have good marks tho, still wondering how i did that till now.

I am sitting next to the guy who was next to Leen in chemistry class. Is it a coincidence? I dont think so, that is because i rushed to sit next to him, to get information about Leen's realtionship status.

Am i a fuckboy? No, i just want to know if i can be her friend (hopefully more) without getting punched be her 'lover'.

Talking about people in my class there are all types, the 'it' girl who is Veronica, she is a typical mean girl. From what i experienced she has tried multiple times to talk to me but no success. I mean why should i, she will only bring me bad karma and a punch from her boyfriend the football captain.

Coming back to Leen's chemistry partner who is now sitting next to me. He is asian with amazing bone structure but still is underrated because of his high iq, again the labels are done nothing but bad, Zayn is a smart guy, good looking, why does he has to be. I bet Leen has a crush on him.

I havent talk to him since i have entered the class, i got to be fast.
I can not wait till tomorow to casually ask him about Leen.

"Hey" i said, trying to start a conversation.
"Hey...Carlos right?" He handed me his hand to say hi.
"Yeah, and you are?" I did know his name but didnt want to be known as the guy who knows everyones name, even though i just heard the teacher call him by his name.

"Zayn.., so carlos how do you like it here, you know anyone?" He said nicely.
Ugh, why does he have to be so nice, one more reason for Leen to like him.
"Yeah, its fine. I know Abigael" I said trying to get closer to the subject of Leen.
"Oh, shes pretty cool, her and Leen are inseperable, they're more like sisters. And they have that weird obsession with cartoons" he said. This is easier than i thought he talked about Leen before i even mention it.
"Oh and Leen.., how is she?"
"Leen, she's one of a kind, she can make us all laugh witouth willing to, she is kind hearted except if you go one step too far, she can rip off your balls and you will still be wondering what happened. Stays with few people even though she could be sitting with the cheerleaders and dating hot guys, alot of guys are trying to get her attention but no success"

"Being with her sounds like an adventure". I said dreaminly.
"Oh it is" Zayn confirms before getting interupted by the teacher who was sweating and out of breath.

"Take- out- your - books" she said half way.

"Whats up with her" Zayn says curious.
"No idea" i denied.

I did know what happened;
her boyfriend broke up with her. How do i know?
Well, Ms. Grenfild, our english teacher used to have a necklace she used to hide under her shirt with the letter 'Y'.
Unlike other days, she, today came by bus. I noticed because of her unclosed shoes because she had to run from the bus station till here and ran with the shoes in her hands. She did not have a car, her boyfriend did, and he used to pick her up from school.

They must have gotten into a fight, because of the red mark i noticed on the back of her nack which she tried to cover but failed to hide from me. I like noticing things, but sometimes there are limits.

________________________________________________________________________

After several boring other periods, the bell strikes meaning we have break.

During break i used to sit alone and that was when veronica would have tried to talk to me and make me sit on 'their' table. I surely opposed her suggestion and kept as long distance as possible her, to not recieve a punch from her football captain 'temporary' boyfriend.

As i sat down i scanned through the canteen looking for Leen, looking at her makes me feel happy, seeing her safe makes me relief. The weird thing is that i still haven't properly spoke to her. But with what ive heard from Zayn, her personality sounds way more better than how she looks, not that she isnt pretty. Indeed, she is beautiful.

I have my usual routine; asked to get to go with the popular's table.
But this time it was different, instead of eating alone giving quick glances at Leen. I got to SIT and TALK with her.

It all happened when i was sitting down and looking behind me for Leen with no apparent reason, as i turn around to sit down in disapointement. I get surprised when i see 2 curious looking girls sitting in front of me. These two girls were Leen and Abigael.
I felt like i was going to make a panic attack, i havent been this close to Leen since the day i bumped into her at the mall.

Instead of the panic attack i just sat down in front of them trying to look as normal as i could.

I decided to make the first move so i smiled awkwardly.
Talk about a move hah.

"Hey, so how you doing" Abigael said.
"Yeah, why are you sitting alone, when you could be with two funnyasses" Leen said, gesturing to both of them.
"Now that i do, its gonna be better" i said, hoping they wouldn't ditch me.
"Wait, who said we were gonna stay" Leen says as Abigael nods in confirm.

As her words reached my ears i could feel my heart breaking down and the expressions on my face slowly becoming straight to a neutral face instead of a hopeful smile.

I was speechless because of how hard i tried to convince myself during these 30sec that they were going to stay and it will be alright but at the end arent going to stay.

They started laughing hystericly to finally tell me they were joking.

"How could you *laughs* i was already imaging myself having a conversation with my meal for the rest of the year". I said sarcastically relieved.

"So, what do you like doing, except stalking people from your window". Leen says. How could she, i felt my cheeks becoming warmer because of the shame and guilt.

Abigael was drinking her water when she heard what Leen said, with surprise she spit the water from her mouth. "Whaat?!" She says with dripping water from her lower lip.

"Its nothing, just forget about it and never mention it again". I said hoping they would listen and get over it.
But whatever who is going to listen to me, so Leen starts explaining what happened when i was staring at her on the middle of the night, and at the same time mentioned when we bumped into each other in the mall.

"This is a sign!" Abigael said talking about how good we would look together.

"Wtf Abi, dont start again with your spirit decisions." Leen says kind of disgusted but amused.

"Ouch" i say pretending to be heard with Leen's words. I didnt pretend i was kind of hurt.

The time passes so fast when you're with people like Them.
The bell rings, meaning break is over and torture starts all over again.
