Not all Teens can Love

The Worst Beginnings

        “Hey,” I spoke as I pushed Aaron out of his seat with my hand full force. I looked to where he landed on the floor, and he was right next to my seat. Perfect, I thought. He looked up with an angered face that could kill, but it softened when he saw a small playful smile on my face, and he lightened up a bit.

          “So not cool Chloe,” He attempted to sound serious, but just began chuckling as he got off the floor. I snickered. I have never done this before, but it was funny. I had to have a little fun. He sat in the seat next to his because I was sitting in his seat now. My teacher walked in and began to lecture on Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase in biology. I already knew this stuff because I taught myself some biology when I got bored one day, so I day dreamt instead. I looked next to me to see Aaron with a confused look and messy hair. I smiled as I shook my head side to side. I looked back to the board, and took some more notes not that I really needed them, but notes are a big part of the grades in this class. Finally, the bell rang after fifty six minutes of torture. I heard Aaron let out a small, barely audible grunt beside me. I smiled once again. As we walked out of class, he asked me curiously,

          “How is all that stuff easy for you?!?! It is so complex.”

          “Some of us are just pure geniuses,” I smiled evilly as I lightly tapped the temple on my head. He rolled his eyes, and then pushed me playfully, but a little too hard. I ran into something or perhaps the correct term is someone. I turned to apologize, and saw a girl who I did not recognize or ever see my entire life. I apologized quickly, and walked away. I saw Aaron look back at her, and she was looking at him. Please tell me he is not going to fall for her. This is not fair, I was first. I grunted.

          “Chlo, what’s not fair? And what was it you were first at? And why are you grunting?” Aaron asked me with a confused look. I was completely astonished I said that out loud, but all I did was shake my head side to side letting him know it was nothing really. In actuality, it was something really. He shrugged his shoulders, and kept quiet as we walked to lunch together. We stood in the lunch line, and waited to get some food. Aaron got a slice of cheese pizza, coke, three cookies, and fries, and I just got a bottle of water. He looked at me with questioning eyes.

          “I am not hungry, honest,” I told him. He looked at me as if I was crazy, and he burst out as if on cue,

          “Girls are crazy!” Before I could react, I heard a small,  but audible giggle behind me. Aaron and I looked at her, and she blushed slightly as she casted her eyes downward and away. Aaron just smiled at her. I turned away from her, and rolled my eyes in disgust. I turned around to ask Aaron if he wanted napkins, but I saw he was talking to the new girl. He went and sat down with her at our table. I did not bother to go sit with them; I just sat at an empty table in a corner pretending to work on my math homework. I glanced at Aaron and the new girl a few times, and they were always smiling and laughing. I realized Aaron did not notice my absence. If he knew I was sitting alone, well at this point, I do not think he would care, which hurts indefinitely. I took out my itouch, and put the song ‘next to you’ by Jordin Sparks. After twenty five minutes of boredom and loneliness, it was time for study hall. I walked out of the lunchroom quickly.

          Aaron usually walked me to study hall since we did not have that class together. I felt utterly lonely. It was hard to even think about him and that new girl being together. I am sixteen years old, a junior, and when I thought my life was going great, it became worse. I guess I just suck at life more than anyone or anything, in that matter. I sat down in my seat as the bell rang. My teacher took attendance, and let the students do whatever afterwards. I cannot believe that Aaron and I may no longer be friends. I do not even have a best friend to tell this to. Sure, I have a lot of friends, but none of them know how I truly feel. I thought he felt the same way I felt, but I guess I was wrong. I put my head on my desk, and thought about my life and how it is going to become tough.
