I knew that look because the person staring at me disappeared 2 years ago,and I hadn't seen him ever since.
I felt my eyes open wide .If I had had a mirror I am sure my reflection would have looked like a cartoon. I was staring and I didn't even care.
At first i couldn't believe the person I was seeing was Noel because this isn't the 15 year old boy I remembered .Now I cant even call him a boy, he is a man .
It's not that he was a gangly-short teen then, he was always tall and smart beyond his age.Somehow he became even more handsome than I remembered .
I blinked. And then I slapped Noel on the cheek. Which was tricky with my hand position on his neck ,but I managed.
"I swear if you were not lying on top of me I would have hit you a lot worse but I am disabled at the moment!"
His weight started pressing down on me but faster then I could say banana slapped a banana he was on his feet, staring at me from above. Unfortunately I was still lying on the asphalt ,staring back up.I must have looked wonderful lying there all sweaty ,because he had his weird face on .Ok mister i can pull off wierd too ,weirdo is my middle name .
"Would you mind giving me a hand? "
"No." just a word and i already felt like i am back in time .
"No what? are you not going to give me hand ? because my butt is going to get second degree burns. "
"I do not have time." But you have time to stare at me? God I sometimes think guys do everything in their power to cofuse us women .
When I realized I was not going to get help from him .I guess he didn't changed much.I got on my feet in a leap and started marching .I march when I am angry , and in this particular moment I was furious .
Then i remembered why I was angry.More specifically ,whom I was mad on.
Since I can do 2 things at once, I gave him the bird while I was walking .
Not even caring to know if he is still there ,and because I know him it will piss him off not having said the last word ,he started walking by my side .While i was marching angrily as fast as I could manage in my flip-flops ,Noel was walking lazily beside me .
The nerve he got. walking as if he had no care in the world while I had my pissed off face on.
To some, it might have looked drastic our 3 minutes and 24 seconds exchange (yes I timed it,this is time which I would never get back ) and maybe if you didnt know us ,if you didnt know how much this boy ,which I am trying very hard right now to hate ,because hate is easier to explain than what i feel right now ,this boy who ruined me in every way possible , destroyed my life and ran off like nothing happen .
So yes it might have looked drastic from the side,only I did not care right now .
I did not care that even though he said he didnt have time ,whatever that meant, he was walking and I was walking, which resulted in us walking together.
What an ass-hat.
