Between a happy heart or a peaceful mind you could only have one.
'Alarm rings' it's morning time to get to school but Sprinter isn't here how the hell am I going to get to school? Well I have to find a way so I can't walk to school, Sprinter has always been there for me but I can't ask Susan to bring my skateboard so early in the morning I can't tell my mom to drive me to school she'll ask me where Sprinter is and I hate lying to her it's not easy to to lie to my mom she's like a Psychic she knows everything,
It was time to leave and I just started walking to school after like 5 minutes I heard a horn sound behind me and when I looked back I saw Susan following me with her car, to be honest I thought she was going to be angry at me for what I pulled the other day but she just wanted to give me a ride to school since my skateboard was with her
We just started talking about stuff on the way to school,
Susan: You know, I just realized that if my ex boyfriend was here he would definitely kick your ass for leaving your skateboard with me (while smiling) *jokingly*
"I don't think he would, and if he did, I think I'm way faster than him I'll just turn and run away"
Susan: I'm pretty sure he's fast enough to catch you.
"You want to bet on that?"
Susan: "You know what, I do, let's bet on it"
"So what does the winner get?"
Susan: "Nothing, because it's not actually happening hahahaha"
"Oh too bad cause I wore my running shoes today hahaha"
Little did she know that I would do anything to get a chance of being with her, I'm tired of the sleepless nights I get because I'm thinking about her. I don't know a lot about love I've never been in love before but I feel it in my chest and it's very confusing and amazing at the same time one minute you're in paradise the next you're overthinking everything and become scared of how the other person would react.
We reached school, I grabbed Sprinter and we just walked together to class but she's in a different class so we just went our separate ways, we met again during lunch break but she was sitting with her friends and she looked like she was having fun so I went to sit down somewhere else and eat.
I felt something in my chest, my heart was beating fast, I had a heart burn I quickly rushed to the toilet I was feeling dizzy I was sweating a lot and couldn't breathe, I locked myself in the toilet and sat for a while after sometime the feeling was fading away, I got out washed my face and just went to class without anyone noticing anything.
I wasn't able to concentrate in class after what just happened, I tried my best to carry on with the rest of the day and pretend like nothing had happened, we had a quiz which took a lot of time and a lot of silence in class so that helped me calm down for the rest of the day.
I wasn't feeling well, there was no way I was using my skateboard to work after school and the only available option was walking, I don't like buses, there's full of strange people in them, I chose walking over taking a bus. When the school bell rang I just got up quickly and went straight to work I didn't want Susan to find out what just happened so I just left.
Walking on my way to work.....
When I got there I went straight to the changing room and had a couple minutes to rest after a long walk, Jen was looking for me I could hear her asking around for me and I had to talk to her but my voice was so low I couldn't say anything. After sometime I got out and went to my shift, it actually started 10 minutes ago but I didn't want anyone to see me in a mess.
I pretended that everything was okay the whole shift, but out of nowhere Ming came to me at the counter and told me
"I saw you coming in"
In my head I thought she was just messing with me, so I had to pretend like nothing happened. But then she also said that
" Did you get a heart attack again?"
Now I know she was serious about what she said so I pulled her to the side and asked her not to tell her mom because they all know about my heart condition and told me if anything happens they should be the first to know and I didn't want to cause any emergency concerns.
Ming: look we have to tell mom about this
"No, seriously I'm fine there's no need "
Ming: I also saw you at school you weren't looking so fine to me.
"I know, I know, but trust me I got it all under control it was just a slight misunderstanding between me and my heart."
Ming: I'm concerned about you and I'm really worried about you
" I know, but I still got here, doesn't that prove that I'm okay, just trust me I will be fine but no one has to know about this"
Ming: I don't know, I don't like keeping secrets
" Just please, this once, and if it ever happens again I'll tell your mom myself"
Ming: Alright, but I don't like this
Susan walked in when we were just about to finish our conversation and she just wanted to talk to me she told me that there's a party coming up next week and I should be there it's going to be at her place and her parents weren't going to be there.
I accepted her invitation since I don't get out much and if I'm going to a party where she'd definitely be I'm going to be there considering she's the one who asked me to.
She left and she forgot her phone and when she came back for it, it was ringing and I was holding it, her ex boyfriend was calling and I just gave it to her but she didn't pick up she left in a hurry to go outside and that's when I started to slowly lose my breath.
