Times have passed and Arsen and I still hung out, we'd always go to the beach and sit on the cliff.Even though we've been hanging out a lot, I still didn't know anything about Arsen, he was still a stranger to me but a different kind of stranger , He's someone who I feel comfortable to be around with. Whenever I'm around him everything is just really calm. I didn't know anything from him apart from his name and his favourite colour which is black.
Whenever I ask him about his family he'd get so annoyed, I didn't know why but maybe because he had a bad relationship with his family?, I just didn't really know anything about him.He's too mysterious and I don't think he'll tell me anything about him any sooner. But I guess I need to keep trying. I mean I'd love to get to know him more, is that too much?
School is nearly finish, only one more lesson to go and I'm out of this hell hole, and guess what I had Mr. dunut (doughnut) my favourite teacher in the world(note the sarcasm), we were learning about Hitler (oh joy!), honestly it's so boring because I've already learnt this last year. I don't know why he keeps teaching us the same thing over and over again, I think he's in-love with Hitler. Well who knows?
*DINGGGGGGGG*
There goes everyone's life saver, the glorious bell, oh how much I love the sound of that bell, it just shouts freedom, It's like it's saying 'come on everybody, be free!! you deserve it.. go go go!!!' And so I did, I ran to the school parking lot and went straight to the beach. When I arrived Arsen wasn't there, I guess he ditching me again. Yesterday he ditched me so he probably he did again. I sat down and popped my earphones in my ears and listened to 5 seconds of summer wrapped around your fingers. I was in love with this song.
I tapped my pale fingers on the cold hard rock,the song was too beautiful when suddenly somebody stopped it .I turned around and Arsen was there standing looking handsome as ever ( erm excuse me, what?) there goes my brain. He was wearing a black baggy long sleeved shirt with a black ripped jeans. His blue eyes stared at my brown ones.
' Hey there strawberry' he greeted.
'Oh, Hi' I said back.
' How are you?' he asked
' Good thanks, you?' I replied.
' Fine' he said.
' I thought you were going to ditch me again' I said out of the blue.
' Again?' he asked looking confused.
' Yeah, because that's what you did yesterday' I stated.
' I didn't ditch you, I had to do something important yesterday' he said sounding annoyed.
' What did you do?' I asked.
' Why do you have to be so fucking nosy all the time?, how many times do I have to tell you to stop being nosy?' he said sounding angry.
' Nosy?, I'm not being nosy I'm only asking,....... you know what.. I'm so tired of you being so rude to me whenever I ask you something about yourself you get so mad, I barely even know you for fuck sake! and we've been hanging out for nearly a month now and yet I don't know one single thing about you.You're more of a stranger to me than friend. I'm so tired of trying to be your friend when all you do is push me away' I said whilst tears were falling down on my cheeks like a water fall.
Arsen was quite for a few minutes,.. I was quiet too , the only sound you could hear was a sob coming out from my mouth.I was too hurt to even look at him because.... because all this time that I've been hanging out with him... I realized that this guy who kept pushing me away who calls me weird fruit names, who sits next to me everyday in this cliff... I realized that I actually like him.. I like him more than just a friend. This feelings that suddenly bloomed like a flower , and I didn't know what to do. It's been such a long time since I've felt like this.
' Maybe you should just stop trying' He said with a monotone voice.
' I can't' I said and this time even more tears were falling down.
' Why not?' he asked.
'Because......'
' I like you, you stupid jerk!!' I shouted at him.
Luckily no one was there in the beach , but as soon as I told him I ran away just like when I run away from my problems. I just couldn't look at him anymore, I didn't even see his face when I said it I bet he was horrified. I couldn't careless to be honest , at least I finally let it out off my system. My feelings were still the same for him. I still really liked him. I don't even know what made me attracted to him. Was it the way he calls me? or was it whenever I hang out with him I feel so calm or because he understood me?
I just didn't know.
I finally reached my house after running a marathon, my mum was in the kitchen cooking God knows what , my dad however was in his office sorting out also God knows what. I didn't even say anything I just ran to my bedroom and collapsed in my bed.Loud sobs were now coming out from my mouth.I never knew I had it in me, to confess to someone. How can I even like that stupid jerk bag? when all he does is push me away?. my hormones are just quite fucked up in the head........... Hours and hours had passed when I heard the phone ring, I couldn't be bothered to go and get it.
' Iris!!!, there's someone on the phone for you' My mum shouted.
' Who is it?' I asked.
' I don't know, just come and get it!!' she replied.
' Fine,fine!!' I said whilst coming down the stairs
' Hello?' I greeted.
No one was speaking on the phone, well heck maybe he/she hunged up, because I was taking too long to come down. Moments later someone finally spoke.
' I like you too' the thing said.
