Chapter 8.

I showered. I dressed up. I ate breakfast. I went to school. It felt like just yet another ordinary day going to school. Five days had passed since the walk with Hudson. Every single time I was in school, I tend to snuck a peek at him. My head always turned in his direction. Now I started to feel like one of those other girls Hudson used to complain about. Those which were always revolving around him and just always talking about him. It pissed him off to the core. It took me that much of convinving myself that I shouldn't barge up to Hudson and give him a piece of my mind. 

School went by like usual. I went to one of the benches in the study area to mug a little. I had been pretty distracted lately and I had to catch up on my assignments. I was busy studying my Biology notes on how the whole transcription and translation processes take place. There was tRNA and then there was mRNA and then DNA. Too many nucleic acids squishing into that small brain of mine. 

I was on the verge of throwing my pen at the wall in front of me or tearing up all my notes and going home when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned. My heart stopped. 

"Hey Zingz. Why are you sitting alone?"

"Sorry but I am not like some sort of football captain to have my football buddies with me 24/7 glued to me."

My hands were slightly trembling, my palms became sweaty and my heart started to beat at the speed of a freaking F1 racing car. I had to feign the eye roll.

"Woah woah. Hold your horses! Why are you pouncing on me like that?"

"Hudson, I am simply being myself. If you don't have anything to say, just leave."

"Ok, ok! Chill already! I came here to study for a while because my training got cancelled. This place is full of geeks. Like the hardcore mugger type. FULL OF IT!"

"You know Hudson. You don't have to say anything nice about me but that doesn't give you the right to insult me either."

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Oh no. no, no! I was referring to the other students. You were the only outstanding one." 

"Whatever. I need to study. Please don't disturb me. Thanks."

"Why are you so hostile? I wanted to study with you."

"I am not being hostile Hud. I just need to concentrate and I am studying Biology.Perhaps that is why my mood is so foul."

What I genuinely wanted to say though was, "I HATE YOU! YOU SWINE WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO REPLY. WHY THE HELL AM I EVEN TALKING TO YOU? GET LOST. JUST GET LOST OF MY SIGHT FOREVER YOU LOSER!" 

Hudson thrusted his bag onto the bench opposite me and took out his Calculus assignments.

We were peacefully studying for about an hour or so. I tried my best to stay still. Not much of information was going up into my head though since I just felt really nervous for some unknown reason. 

I looked up from my work and saw Hudson yawning.

"Somebody feeling sleepy already?" I smirked at him.

"Maybe. Tell you what. Let's just pack things up and go home. I think I concentrate better at home." 

"Fine with me."

WIth that, I started packing up my things and soon we were both leaving school. The sun was setting and there was such a lovely view. My heart beat faster with every step I took with Hudson. We did our usual talking about Lola but my mind was drifting elsewhere. 

"Hudson."

Hudson stopped talking and turned to me. He blinked and asked, "What?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah sure."

"The park is over there so can we just talk there for a few minutes?"

"I guess so. But after whatever you have to say I will leave. I really need to go home and start studying already."

My heart did a plunge. If he wanted to talk to about Lola, sure. We could do that for hours. But when I wanted to talk about something, he had to be a shithead and give all sorts of excuses to stay away from me. My whole body started trembling and my face was hot and flush. We sat down at a park bench. I turned to him slowly.

"Hudson. I hope you don't get upset over what I am going to say."

"Why are you talking like this Zingz. You are like the cool bro and not emotional and girly. Like this."

"Look. Hudson. It hurts me. I don't get it. Why do you not talk to me?"

"I don't follow. I am talking to you now." He smiled his stupid charming oh-so-perfect-teeth smile.

"Why is it that we always talk about you and Lola?"

"Wait, no. That's not true. We talk about other things as well."

"Yeah sure. Like?"

"Like... Stuff."

"Woah nice answer there man."

"I don't see the purpose of this conversation. We do talk and all. What's the problem then?"

"We are always talking about you Hudson! Why is it that we never talk about me? And you always fail to reply my messages! Is that such a hard thing to do? SERIOUSLY?! I know you are always on your phone like every second possible because I do know as a metter of fact that you have begun to text Lola on a freaking daily basis!"

"How do you kn--"

"I know it! I know you! I don't give a damn what you do with Lola. But the fact that you can't even message me one small reply back freaking hurts SO BAD! How hard can it be huh?!"

"I seriously can't recall receiveing a text from you. Honestly."

"Yeah right. You are just too busy with Lola aren't you? Now that Lola texts you, you don't need me do you? Fine! GO TO HELL FOR ALL I CARE!"

"You know what Zingz? This conversation was long  over." 

Hudson stood up and calmly just walked away. Away from me. Away from our friendship. Away from everything. 

I burst into tears. 

"Oh, I got nothing, I got nothing.

Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing..."
