Brave enough

Cap. 4: The phoenix

Bare foot. Where are my beautiful velvet shoes?? Anyway, I can hear the music yey! Oh, there you are my 6 feet tall knight may I remove your mask tonight? I get close to him and raise one hand, but my hand starts to pulverise and then the other hand, and then my feet and my face, wtf is going on?

Drin drin drin drin...this time I won't curse you just because it was a nightmare. Why can't I remove you the mask now that I probably know who's behind? Pfff, let's get out of my bed. Outfit time: pink sweater...white and black stripped pants...golden shoes.

Susy, like a statue, is already at the bus stop. It's always painful to see her without being able to speak to her, and also the consciousness of another trip alone ahead of me.

Lunch time, finally, history class seemed eternal this morning. Wow there's a free bench outside, why not, it's so sunny today! I bring my non-special ass to the bench and sit down, time to eat!

A tall figure approaches me from the end of the garden, wait is it the masked knight? No, it can't be. I shake my head and take a better look...oh it's only Nik without the Venice mask...wait it's Nik!

Nik: "Hey, I finally found you, how's going?"

Don't panic, act cool

Me: "Fine, thank you. How about you, still traumatized?"

He smiles amused

Nik: "I had some struggle sleeping tonight... the feeling of Willoby's cold hands on mine, pulling me in the middle of the gym..."

He says really dramatically hinting a sort of fake crying. Wow he is a good actor, I can understand why Willoby likes him that much... yeah but now stop laughing stupid body!

Me: "Wanna sit next to me and talk about that?"

Brain, where was that from?

Nik: "Gladly, thank you"

I scoot even more on the side to make space for him. I didn't sit in the middle but apparently my body decided that we needed to give him more bench. Oh, he has an apple too.

Nik: "Cheers"

He says gently colliding his apple with mine.

Me: "Why where you searching for me?"

Nik: "Oh, maybe it's stupid, but I wanted to go to the prom for the beginning of the school and I didn't have a dame already...would you like to come with me?"

Hem, brain, are you still there? Body? I'm getting sweaty, I can feel it. Wow five years of school and nobody has ever invited me to the prom. Come on say something.

Me: "Sure my knight"

Again, where was that from??? What kind of effect has this person on me?

Nik: "Cool, if you want, I can leave you my phone number and chat later after school for the details"

Me: "Why not, let me take my phone...there you are"

Nik: "Ok, 3...done. Text me later"

Me: "Yup, I'll do it straight after arriving home"

Nik: "Thank you milady, I'll be waiting"

Me: "My pleasure Sir. Nik"

He smiles back at me and for some reason I can feel I'm becoming red. Dear body did you have to realise now that we have an official invitation for the prom? You should have blushed when he made the question. Anyway.

Going back to class is a thousand times easier now. What was it 10 years that I didn't have any interaction with the romantic part of me? I mean I thought that I couldn't be possibly still able to feel like this. It's really too soon to make assumptions, but just the fact that I have an actual date is awakening something in me. It's not necessary thinking of what song I need to listen now: relive dead side of me, like a 'Phoenix'.
