WEINI - Starting With 'U' - Chapter 4

First time reading this story? CLICK HERE FOR PART 1

I was so excited! I can't wait to go to school the next day. I want to know if my plan works. I so wanted to know! I feel like everything was going my way. You know feng shui? Yea, I can feel it, in my soul. And heart. And brains. And hands. And everywhere! I don't know if I used that term correctly. But if it's something good, then I feel it all the way to school.

When I reached school, I can feel like everyone is smiling at me. Even the sun is shining on me (okay, well, the sun is always shining, but... oh! You know what I mean).

But you know what disgusted me? It's the first sound I hear when I made my first step into the school - The Nerd's laughter. I can hear it really well. Look, I am not the kind of person who have archenemies and stuff. But I guess I'd make an exception for that Gabriel guy. I just have no idea, how over the few weeks I'm here, he just make me feel like I wanna punch him in the face.

I mean, it's not like he did anything mean to me. Like force my head down the toilet bowl and try flushing me down. Or try to hit me down the middle with a baseball bat. Or... I don't know why I have this bad feeling that someone is going to hurt me down there all the time. Is it normal? To be fearing about it all the time? I mean, the last time some kid knocked me down there, it hurts like hell. It hurts so bad I thought I saw the angels descending from Heaven to escort me to Heaven. Yea, it's that painful. I can't even take a piss properly for a whole two weeks!

Not like he's the kind of person who would do it. But you never know... you never know.

Anyway, I rolled my eyes and then I saw Alyse. I waved at her. But she looked so worried. And I felt sorry for her for a moment there. But then again, that's not supposed to be part of the plan... the feeling sorry for her part. So I greeted her with my usual cheeriness, "Hi Alice!"

Then I realised I said it wrongly. She shouted at me. She thought I did it on purpose. But I didn't. I don't know why sometimes, I just forget. I felt every one's eyes one us. I felt awkwardness blanketed over us.

I apologised umcomfortably, but she blamed herself for it. I said, "Must be PMS..." I heard girls get mood swings when they get into this Pre-Menstrual Cycle. It's erm... Pre-Menstrual Syndrome. Where they got all these mood swings and weird stuff...

She said, "Huh?"

I pretended to not know what she was saying. When she asked what I said, I kept denying it. It went on for awhile until someone shouted at us, "Why don't you just go somewhere, kiss and make up?"

I felt myself blush and I cleared my throat. It's what I do when I'm nervous. It's what EVERYONE else do when they are nervous. Or they want to break the awkwardness.

Then she asked when I was going to give her back her notebook.

I didn't know when actually. I haven't get to that part of the plan yet. I just planned to use this notebook as a ransom so that she'd go recess with me.

She asked, "What about now?"

I wasn't gonna fall into THAT trap.

I said not now. Of course not now! I can't just let this chance pass me by! Her face went really red. She looked really angry. Then she exploded and she showed me her 'anger level'. But I made a joke out of it. And she exploded more. I think I saw her spluttering smoke. I like seeing her becoming angry. She looked so... nice when she's angry. Make me just want to hug her and calm her down all the time. I always wanted a sister. And I wished she was my sister.

So I grinned. I know it was stupid. But I grinned. And I noticed her face had went beyond the colour of red. It kinda turned charcoal red. You know, black plus red kinda colour. Yea, about that...

She asked how I got her notebook. She had this skeptical look on her face. What? Is she suspecting that I stole her notebook now? I told her the truth. She didn't look like she believed me. She asked me what she was supposed to do before I would return her, her notebook. I said I would return it to her safely, if she fulfiled one condition - to accompany me during recess for two weeks. So we can work up a friendship. Which I have to admit, I desperately need.

She asked me a really stupid question after that, what if she didn't come to recess with me? I simply replied that I won't give it back to her.

Then, she sulked for the whole day. And I knew it. She agreed.

----------------------------------------------------------

During recess, I followed her to the canteen. I just can't help it but stare at her. You know, I feel the urge to hug her every time I see her. And I don't know why. Because I'm sure I don't have the kinda feelings for her. I mean, when you like someone, you just know it, right? Can you like someone and NOT know it? Well, to be honest, I don't know.

We sat down at a table and started talking about my sibling. She seemed bored. So I told her about my haircut, again. Which was lame. I just stared at her when she ate. I don't know why. I know staring is rude. You know, that cliche line : My momma told me to not stare because people will come and punch you for doing so.

But I just can't help but glance/stare at her every chance I get. And I made sure she didn't catch me doing that. Or else, I don't know what would happen.

I was hoping our conversation would flow. But it didn't. That wasn't part of the plan! I was starting to panic. Then I asked, "So what are we gonna do now?"

She simply replied, "Eat?"

Yea! Stupid me! Of course we eat! So I ate my food and finished before her. So that I can stare at her eat, which is much more ruder than staring at someone who wasn't eating. But she's not watching. So I just kept staring...

Then, she sighed.

Oh gawd... why did she sigh?
