Tame That Girl

Hello mates!

Hello mates!

Who is the new kid? Doesn't he look familiar?

"Haley!" my friend Crystal calls out to me.

"What?" I ask with an irritated tone.

"Well excuse me for getting excited to see my friend", Crystal replies with sass.

"Oh what trouble do you want to start up now?" I ask her knowing she is scheming something along the lines to make someone embarrassed, I'm a possible victim. The reason I love her is that even though I am a gang leader she doesn't fear me.

We walk up the steps in an awkward silence. She doesn't open her mouth. I stop and stare at her. She stares back not backing down. We are about to enter school. If I walk past these double doors in 50 seconds then I won't be late. But I am stubborn. I get my way in this school. People will just have to look past my impatience and see that I am a good person.

While I am staring at her I see her eyes shift behind me. I would have looked back in enough time to avoid an enormous body trying to get past me and into the doors if it weren't for the fact that I frowned before doing so. I black out from the collision. My number one weakness is being caught off guard.

I wake up in the nurse's office. I am on my back looking at the ceiling until I realize the body besides me.

"Are you ok", the guy asks with a worried expression.

"Sure I am! Do you not know who I am?" I ask this guy. He definitely looks familiar but I have no idea who exactly he is.

"Sure. But aren't you hurt?" the guy asks.

I am pretty sure this guy just confirmed that he knows me but yet he is still asking if I'm ok. This guy is such a weird fellow.

"I am not hurt anywhere", I assure him.

"Ok as long as you're fine", the guy says then starts to leave.

"Wait! Are you the person who bumped into me?" I ask not knowing if he was the same person.

"Yes", he answers a little bit worried.

"Don't worry I am not too mad at you. I won't beat you up for it. But um... Not to be rude but um... What's your name", I ask trying to not sound ignorant. It wasn't my fault I don't remember everyone's name yet everyone knows mine.    

Surprisingly the guy turns in my direction and looks at me dumfounded. For some reason my instinct makes me flinch. Is this guy a really successful gang leader? And if he is did I just threaten him? Or worse what if he's some super rich celebrity. Oh what have I done?! The guy looks like a mixture of disgust, surprise, disappointment, sadness and regret. Who is this guy?

"My name is Kevin. You better remember it", Kevin says.

I know I will heed his words and remember it until death takes over... most likely. Don't want to jinx my death now do I? But isn't ironic; I had a childhood friend named Kevin. I wonder what happened to him.  

Once again Kevin walks out of the door. Kevin is such a wired guy. I would love to become his friend or acquaintance. Just that I think he thinks I'm crazy for not knowing who he is.
