It's My Crazy Life

Chapter Two

"Tell me one thing. Why the hell do the teachers in our school have to be so strict to us?" Came the question of the hour from my dear friend Lisa, who is currently walking by my side on our way to our respective classes.

"Like really, just think about it. Their habit of bombarding us with multiple assignments as soon as the school reopens, is not very appropriate. I am telling you Hannah, in any of these coming days I will surely file a complaint against them." I couldn't stop myself from laughing at her comment and patted her shoulder as a fake condolence and on hand got myself hit by a passing by boy, which led to my ultimate fall.

"Watch it! You dumb ass." Lisa saved my ass from really getting hit by the ground and went on calling on some really fancy names to the poor guy I collided with.

"Cool down Liz, it was my mistake." I apologized the boy, who to my relief didn't even stop to listen my apology or Lisa's complaining. He just went on his way. Strange guy.

I was still looking in the way he went and was analyzing his figure to make out whether I know him or not, but got myself interrupted by Lisa who still wanted to continue with her bickering.

"You see my point here? Means, like what...what they think we don't have a life apart from school? We got a bunch of things to do than just study and do these stupid assignments in pair. At least they should give us some time to breath and adjust coming back to school for awhile and...."

"Stop it! Stop it right there." We stopped in a corner of the hallway and I face Lisa, giving her a scolding look. This time I first check for my surroundings to make sure not to get hit by another passing by stranger and then face her again.

I get it that she is feeling anxious to be paired with 'Nathan Lewis' in her chemistry class, which was a thing which happened like yesterday. But I don't want her to stress about it too much or blame about it on our teachers, indirectly.

Let's just say that Lisa has like a huge..and I mean really huge crush on this guy. And the fact that he completely ignores her presence like a disease and has made countless times fun of her liking towards him, is not helping her case. She now hates Nathan. Like really really hates him. And the fact that she hates him because she loves him, well...it makes the situation more complicated.

She always had this one sided crazy crush on him since childhood. And I remember being a part and an adamant supporter of it. Our days went by with her usually standing near the bleachers and sneaking around, watching him play football the whole day and it was literally a whole day sometimes. I had to pull her to come with me and beg her to leave.

Because Lisa loved to and still loves to make me accompany her around everywhere she goes. She was such a love sick puppy at that time. Always bribing me to put these stupid love letters under his desk. God I was so terrified of getting caught by someone at that time. I should really kill her for making me do that.

And not to forget the day when she finally got the courage to confess her true feelings for him in front of the whole class in tenth grade during our lunch time. And what that jerk did? He rejected her saying she was not of his type. His type! What does his type consists of? Those skinny blonde models he carries around his arms like some trophy. Stupid, imbecile, moron, egg-headed, son of a...

"Look Lisa...sweetie you don't have to stress about it so much. It's not like you two have to really sit together and do that assignment. Just divide the assignment into two parts and tell him what part he needs to prepare for." I try to give her a solution to the situation and help her calm down.

I want her to understand that she has to move on now. She can't just keep on stressing about things when it comes to Nathan. That guy doesn't deserves my best friend's attention anymore than he already has gained.

"You know me so well, Hannah. I haven't even told you the reason behind my stress and you somehow always guess it out right."

"But you know...how stupid I behave when he is around. Like some strange kind of energy is created in the room when he enters. I can literally feel my own heart beat going crazy doing lub-dub lub-dub lub-dub..."

"Even his name spoken somewhere makes my breathing stop for a minute with an anticipation to see him around. Just to get a glimpse of him. Oh! Hannah....I wish you knew how it feels to be in love." She always gets this dreamy look on her face when she talks about Nathan. A strange kind of spark in her eyes. A smile, which tells me that she still wishes to be with him. That she still wishes for a day, when they will be together and happy.

It's strange how a single person can affect you so much? How can he make you so weak? So useless that no matter how much hard you try to go away from him, you just can't.

"Okay, tell me. What's all the fuss about? I am sure that sitting with Nathan is definitely not a problem because I know for one, that you must be secretly loving it." I winked at her making her hide her face behind the books she was carrying and making her giggle.

"Oh shush Hannah. It's not like I am dancing with glee that we got paired up. Because at the end of the day, he is still the same old jerk face who can't keep his thing in his pant." I watch the change in her mood from a smile to back to being sad.

"And it seriously doesn't bother me anymore. You know...to watch him flirt with another girl while he is practically paired with me to do an assignment and sitting beside me.... Or when he is kissing someone else knowing oh too well that I am watching them. He is just a heartless dog, Hannah." The happy face which I was relieved to see a minute ago got transformed into a sad melancholic one, which I always try to avoid when we both are together.

"Please don't be sad, Liz. You know I hate watching you like this." I step forward and put my arms around her in a comforting hug.

"That stupid punk doesn't deserve a gem like you. Stop loving an ass like him....who doesn't even gives a shit about you. Let him waste his time with those leeches. Because that's all what he deserves. It's about time Lisa, you must move on." We halted outside my Literature class and waited for other students to fill in first and get their desired seats before the class starts.

"One day, one day Hannah....you will be the one to know what all this fuss is about. Then you will realize how hard it is to give up on a person on whom your dreams rely."

With saying this, she bid me farewell and went in the direction of her class, leaving me awkwardly standing there watching her go. And thinking deeply on her departing words.
