J.A.W.Z Of Love (Wayne and Alex's Story)

Bloody Hilarious

(Alex's POV)

The rest of the day I was strategizing ways to get him to talk, that I didn't even notice that the bell had rung. I grabbed my stuff and made my way home. when I got home I decided to ask my mom what I should do:

"Oye, mamá, Im trying to get this guy at school to talk to me, what should I do?". 

"How about you try asking him about himself?". 

" I already tried that mom he won't talk to me, he still won't say anything." 

"Ok then make a mistake say something wrong and see if he corrects you it works on your father all the time." That's not a bad idea, he seems like the type to correct someone when they make a mistake. "Gracias mamá" she just shrugs. I go up to my room and start playing C.O.D as Im playing I start thinking about what Wayne's reaction will be, I can't help but smile.

The Next Day, I walk over to Wayne and start talking about yesterday's non-existent homework. I glance over at him and can see he's trying hard to say anything, he finally gives it and says: " We didn't have any homework". Im so happy I could dance, I gotta thank my mom later by taking her to that restaurant she likes. I don't wanna seem too suspicious so I reply "Huh? oh yeah you're right I was thinking of last-last night's homework, so anyway what did you have for dinner Wayne?". It's really random and I doubt he will answer me but it's still worth a shot, and as expected he doesn't answer. 

"My mom made us some amazing taquitos, man those things were so good, and juicy too". He clearly doesn't care about what I had for dinner so I change the subject and start talking more about myself and not what I ate. I even occasionally ask him about himself which he doesn't respond to, not that I really expected him to. Finally, it's the end of the day and I wave goodbye to him and go home. "Oi mama it worked he talked to me!" She looks at me and smiles, I smile back. " Ay, I told you it would work, !"

" Haha gracias mama, later I'll take you to that restaurant you like". As I walk away I can see her grinning, it makes me happy to see her happy. The next day, I say hi to Wayne again and start talking about my life, I continue to do this for the entire week, and although he acts bored I can tell he's interested especially when I told him that story of how I twisted my ankle and couldn't walk properly for months. Im a bit disappointed when Friday comes but at least that gives me time to think about how to get a reaction out of him. I spent most of my time with my family on the weekend and when I could, I thought about how what I could say to try and get him to talk.

Until finally, Monday came. Im locked and loaded with a plan,  instead of trying to get him to say something, I've decided to be a bit bold and try to get him to, wait for it....laugh. I know it's risky considering I know next to nothing about him so I don't know what makes him laugh but I have to try right? Since I don't know what makes him laugh I have to use every trick in my arsenal although I doubt Wyatt would laugh at armpit farts. 

I walk towards his desk and start looking him up and down. What would someone who utter less than 2 words a day laugh at? Math Jokes maybe? I have to be careful about what I say I only have a few opportunities to make him laugh without looking like I'm trying too hard." Hey Wyatt, why was the math book sad? It had a lot of problems. Hahaha!"

He looks at me for a few seconds then looks away. Damn it, it didn't work, well he has never shown much interest in math or school for that matter. During class, I continue to review the Ideas I came up with over the weekend sorting them out one by one in my head, by the end of class,  I've narrowed it down to two things: Memes, and an absolute last resort: Armpit farts. I go to the rest of my classes as usual until it's finally time for lunch.

I head over to our usual table look around and pull out my phone. " Hey, Wayne look at this meme I found." He glances at my phone, unamused. Well that didn't work either maybe the meme I showed him wasn't funny so I show him several others. He says nothing. I didn't want to do this but I have to use my absolute last resort. When lunch is over I go to my next class until I finally see Wayne in the halls. "Hey, Wayne guess what?" I take a deep breath and I do it. I let out the best armpit fart I could muster. Did it work? is he impressed? I open my eyes and see Wayne looking at me with a face full of disgust. Oh no. 

Wayne turns and walks away. Oh crap, what did I do? Armpit farts that's the best you could come up with? you idiot! "Wayne wait !"I try to grab his arm but he just walks faster. Im so focused on trying to catch him that I don't even notice the door swinging open until it's too late. My face slams into the door and a bolt of pain shoots through my body. As I am holding my face hoping I didn't break anything. I hear a noise that makes me wonder if I got a concussion. It's laughter, I look up and see Wayne laughing! I wave of happiness flows through my body that makes me forget about the pain. Wayne is laughing! 

His laugh sounds as clear and as beautiful as a wave crashing on the shore or at least that's what I would like to say the truth is I find it impossible to describe his laugh all I know is that it makes me happy." Wow, Wayne, I didn't know you were such a sadist." He continues laughing then stops and smiles. 

" Sorry I wasn't trying to be mean It's just that you reminded me of my dad, when I was little I was running around inside the house with my dad chasing after me he ended up crashing into a wall and we had to go to the hospital and my mom ended up scolding both of us, ever since then his nose became crooked and always tilted a little to the left." His smile suddenly fades and I can tell something happened between him and his dad. " You must miss him."  He looks at me for a few seconds then replies" yeah".

 All of a sudden I can feel something dripping out of my nose. I put a finger up to my nose and look at it. Blood. "Oh, Alex your nose is bleeding, you should go to the nurse." " Ok, but where is the nurse?" Wayne just looks at me then walks down the hall, I follow him until we finally reached the nurse's office. The truth is I knew where it was, I've had to go there many times when I didn't feel like going to class but I wanted to stay with Wayne for as long as I could." Ah, Alex, you're back again what did you get into this time?" Uh oh. I can feel Wayne's stare penetrating the back of my head and for a second I think I can smell smoke. 

The nurse leads me to the bed and starts examining my nose. " Good news, you didn't break anything, I'll go get some Ice for you." I look over at Wayne who has an annoyed expression, as much as he hates school, I can tell he's not happy about having to miss class because of me. I put on my best sympathetic smile and start apologizing. "You are unbelievable first you perform an act as weird as armpit farts in front of me then you injure yourself and when I suggest you go to the nurse you lie to me and say you don't know where it is but seriously you have been acting weird all day, what is up with you?" I guess I wasn't as sneaky as I thought. " Yeah sorry about that I was trying to make you laugh, the stuff I planned didn't really work though since you ended up laughing at me in pain." 

" Yeah but Armpit farts? You really thought I would laugh at a noise made by one's armpits, What am I 5?" I smile sheepishly then reply" Well, you don't really tell me much about yourself so how was I supposed to know what you find funny?"He contemplates what I just said for a few seconds until finally, he says" If I tell you more about myself do you promise not to pull something like that ever again?" I can barely contain my smile" Yeah I promise!" "Ok then". The Nurse finally comes back but by then I can barely feel the pain.

A/N: Hey guys sorry it's been a few days since I have written, I had cancer in my teeth, Aids in my toenails, got into a car accident, and to top it all off my goldfish drowned 😔. To make up for it, I made this chapter a little longer. I hope you liked it!
