It was one of them dull school days. The teacher was mumbling instead of teaching his lesson. I've always hated literature anyways. I grabbed my bag and asked for the toilet. I went out off class before he allowed me. I just couldn't stand him more than five minutes.
I put my headphones and turned the music on. 'As Long As You Love Me' by Sleeping at Last was playing. "God, I love this song!".
"Which song?", a strange voice asked. I turned to my left where the voice came. "Dude, you scared the shit ot of me!", I swiftly covered my mouth with my hands as soon as I said that.
"Hey!" she chuckled while she hold out her hand to me. I took off my headphones and shaked her hand.
"Hey, sorry for that. I thought I was alone.".
"No worries. I've just enrolled to school so...".
"Oh really? Welcome then, I'm Asel." I raised my head -she was extremely tall- and looked into her eyes more carefully. They were the prettiest shades of green, they give you the experience to get lost in a forest.
"I've never heard that name before. Where does it come from?".
"Well, I'm half Turkish 'cause of my mom. Asel means 'honey' in her language. My parents have been calling each other 'honey' since the day they met. I guess that's why they gave me that name." she was looking impressed - and too beautiful to stare longer.
"Wow, that sounds so sweet! I like their connection. And your name too, of course.". I'm sure I blushed harder than I thought in that moment.
"Thanks. You haven't told me your name though.".
"Ah, yeah. I'm Louise.". It reminded me of TV Girl's song,
"Love could kick you out on the streets.". "But it never paid your rent." she knew the song!!!
"Well I'm really glad to meet you, Louise."The launch break finally came. I ran down the stairs to cafeteria. Waiting in the line was excessively exhausting. I filled up two plates for me and my best friend Odya.
We've known each other since we born. Her mother -Celine, the love of my life...- and mine were childhood friends. After they got married, they moved to L.A. together. Now we're neighborhoods. I feel so lucky to have a friendship like that.
I found an empty table for us. I sat down and started to waiting for Odya."Hey honey, are you going to eat them all by yourself?". Ah Felice, that bitch. She has been bullying people to cope her insecurities.
"Yes, do you wanna join me instead of starving yourself to look more pretty?" the anger on her face satisfied me.
"Hey, can I join you guys too?".
Louise, my savior.
"Sure, there's always a place for y-" the little bitch cutt my sentence off:
"Hi gorgeous, I'm Felice. Are you new here? 'Cause I've never seen no one like you." she said while looking deep down to Louise' s eyes and playing with her hair flirtatiously.
"Nice to meet you, Felice. Yeah I'm the new student." she chuckled. Why did she chuckled to her so sweet? And why they're height difference made them look like a cute couple? And wjy do I care?
I coughed loudly, "C'mon Louise, the break is almost over and we haven't eaten anything yet.".
"Right, see you later Felice." oh please no. "I'll find you later." said Felice while giving her a wink. I thought I was going to puke."Slut." I muttered after she went away. "She seems nice to be honest.".
"Oh yeah? Wait until you got to know her real face." did I just get jealous? No. I was being a good friend because I didn't want a nice person like Louise to be with an evil.
"Nah, I have priorities." she smirked. What was that?!
"Should I take it personal?".
"Maybe." yeah, maybe.We ate our foods silently until Odya came and joined us. She is a total golden retriever. Anywhere she goes she lights up everyone. And unsurprisingly she cheered up our new friend too.
"You guys wanna hang out after school?" Odya asked.
"I'd like to, but I've got some stuff to do." Louise replied with a straight face, maybe she just didn't like us that much.
"No problem, we'll do it another time."."She's totally gay.".
"Dude, what?". After school, I went to Odya's for movie time. We've been doing this twice in a month. "Just sayin'." don't get my hopes up.
"Oh shut up. What are we watching today?" the host had to choose the movie. "You liked her, didn't you?" little shit never misses anything.
"She's nice, but I don't think that our feelings are mutual.".
"Are you kidding me? She was mesmerized by you.".
"Yeah, I'm sure she is flirting with everyone. I don't need another heartbreak." my past relationship was a mess.
"What you say, princess.".
"Fuck off." we laughed.
"I chose a special movie for us." Odya winked.
"Are we going to watch the same thing again?!".
"Yeah baby!" she started Bound for the thirteenth time.
"I really liked her though.".
