I felt incomplete, there was a piece of puzzle that no one could fix.I know it wasn't my mom because I know she is dead but there was something that felt missing and I have no idea what is it.  I still  and I always remember that fateful day that I killed my mother because of my reckless driving.  Last Tuesday marked the first year of her death so she was all I have been thinking of throughout this week. I have been locking myself up in my room , breaking things up and  crying like a little girl through out the week.  But I realized these things won't change anything but will only cause me more pain so I decided to go to school.   I was so angry at everything , most especially myself even as I entered the school building just like I had been the past week. I looked for things to break or shout at any chance I got so as to reduce my anger. So imagine how happy I was when I saw some commotion in my Maths classroom.  My grin grew wider when I saw it was with my girlfriend. Just my chance to break someones head I thought.

"Hey what the hell is wrong with you? How can you mess with my girl?"  I all but shouted.

"Or what the hell is wrong with....," The girl started saying but stopped in the middle of her sentence with her mouth open and a surprised face when she saw my face. But she wasn't the only one that stopped. My heart stopped for some minutes. There was something about her that seems familiar, maybe it was the blue eyes. I couldn't place where I have seen it but I was quiet sure I have seen it. Maybe it was in my dreams. I brushed the thoughts off and said.

" I know am hot and all but I have a girlfriend as you can see. And even if I don't have one I won't date you so you can close your mouth. And if you touch my girl again am gonna make you regret coming to this school."

"Hey don't make the new girl cry, "I heard someone say.

"Am sure she will look uglier when she cries," the same voice said.

Tears were threatening to come out from  that familiar beautiful eyes. I started feeling a little guilty. It was not the normal me.  It's just because I was angry.  I wasn't like this a year back.  I hated disgracing people.
.

"Come let's go jez ," I called Nicole with the name she likes the most when I could no longer bare to see the tears. I put my arms around her and started walking away.  I turned around for the last time to see the beautiful blue eyes looking at my retreating back with a look of astonishment.

Thankfully I didn't see the familiar blue eyes again but I kept thinking about it. I didn't know why but it seemed really familiar.  It was during lunch break that I saw them again. She was carrying a lunch tray and surprisingly walking to our direction.

"So you know that bitch Alicia,"  I heard Nicole asking Alicia who was seated with us. I quickly looked to see who she was talking about. My heart leaped a little when I saw her  looking towards the direction of the blue eyed girl.

"Which one," Alicia asked.

" That one with that ugly face and dirty clothes, the one you just smiled to," Nicole said. My girlfriend really didn't know the meaning of ugly.  I was going to ask her to check the dictionary for the meaning of beautiful and ugly because that girl is one of the most beautiful girl I have ever set my eyes on. I quickly refrained myself from asking the question.

"Ohhh you mean that ugly girl well yeah," Alicia said. Well Nicole wasn't the only one that didn't know the meaning of ugly. That wasn't what made me smile though. Alicia knew the blue eyed girl. I had to ask her about it later.
