Mel- Melody- Melantha.

"The Boy I Once knew"

I was staring deep into his warm blue eyes which broke by his angelic voice. "Hi! I'm Aaron, Your new desk mate" he said looking into my eyes searching for some kind of excitement or something "And you?" he asked politely as he took the seat beside me.

I was just looking at him trying so hard to remember him. I know him, he is just so familiar. Then when I came to my senses, he was still looking at me. So, I broke the eye contact and closed my book which I was pretending to read. "I am Melantha Alinsky" I muttered my best so that it would be rude and he'll just ignore me or something but at least I'll make a bad impression.

As soon as I said my name, his eyes widened which I could clearly see and next moment, he started showering me with questions and didn't wait for me to answer or reply as if I'll reply if he waits for me. "Oh My God! Mel I didn't think I'll see you again after that incident!" this caught me. Firstly, he can't call me 'Mel' cause it's what only my loved ones called me and I don't even let my aunt and uncle call me that. Secondly, Did he know me or recognize me? 

I narrowed my eyes at him "Stop calling me that!" I said cause I clearly didn't want a stranger to call me that. My parents used to call me that all though I don't remember it clearly.

"Mel, You don't remember me?" he questioned

"No" I muttered

"I know it's been years Mel, but how can you just forget me?"

"I don't know you" I turned my head towards the teacher listening to the class

"Mel, I'm sorry I was a child at that time and just left" he pleaded

I didn't even knew what he was talking about and what was he apologizing for? I was listening to him but didn't turn or reply to him.

"Mel, You couldn't just ignore me, I'm sorry"

I was still facing the teacher

"I'm sorry, Mel, Mel please talk to me" he was poking my shoulder with his index finger which was really irritating and I hated things which irritate me. He kept doing that and I kept ignoring him until he crossed his line and said "Your parents wouldn't have you to do this to me Mel". He was bringing my parents in the middle who were not even present here and are dead. That's when I lost it. I stood up and glared at him "Firstly, I don't know you, secondly, don't bring my parents in the middle and lastly Don't you ever Call Me That Name!!!!" I yelled just to see that the whole class including the teacher were looking at me like they are seeing some gangster or a mafia, of course I know that I look really dangerous but was it that bad? Okay, no time to think all this. You are probably going to get scolded, again.

"Miss Alinsky! Don't shout in the class!" the teacher said clearly getting angry

I looked at the teacher and then at the whole class, Ugh, can't they all mind their own business? I gave death glares to everyone for them to stop staring at me which did work. Just by my one stare they all lowered their heads. I liked the power I had but somewhere in my heart, it stung that I am this horrible. I also gave a look at Aaron and then at the teacher "Sorry" I muttered in a low voice which was loud enough to her to hear and I sat down.

In the whole class, Aaron was quite probably because of my outburst but what could I do? I don't know him and he was like he knew everything about me and if he really knew that much then why did he bring my parents in the middle? Didn't he know that they are dead? I was in the cafeteria while eating and thinking all this when suddenly someone dared to break my thought.

That person tapped my shoulder and it was none other than 'Aaron the great'. I glanced at him and again ignored him and focused on eating. He took it as a yes to sit on my bench and even though it wasn't mine, I took it as MY place and only MY place. Like seriously? this bench is mine and he dared to sit on it? Was this that happened in the class not enough to say that he should be away from me? while thinking all this "This is my place" I growled but not loudly.
