The Epicosity of Randomness

I read somewhere that 77 percent of all the mentally ill live in poverty.

Actually, I'm more intrigued by the 23 percent who are apparently doing

quite well for themselves."

Michaela's POV

Where the hell is she? Megan's always here first, but on the one day I get to go hyper when I see her she's late!

Arggg! I hate having to wait!

I got off the desk and put my hands on two desks and start swinging in the gap in between them. When I'd built up enough momentum I let go of the desks and flew a few feet through the air before landing, turning round and repeating the process. Most people pace, I swing.

 "Where is she?" I whinnied to Izzy and Nikki "I want to go hyper" Izzy's actual name is Isaac, but most people just call him Izzy, it's just easier that way. 

"Patience is a virtue Michaela." 

I gave him a scathing look, then spoiled the sophisticated effect by hitting him.

"I'm going to take the high road" he said all up and mighty, so, naturally, I kicked him.

"Guys! She's here" calls Nikki from the window.

"YAY!!!!" I yell, ignoring the irritated looks the other people in the classroom were giving me.

We all sprinted out of the room and down the corridor.

"MEGAN!"

"CHIPMUNK TWIN!" Nikki and Megan are chipmunk twins, don't ask.

We ran to her at full speed. Isaac, who got to her first, gives her his signature, lung crushing, bear hug. Then I shove him out of the way and me and Megan hugged each other hard squealing like idiots. That's when Nikki caught up with us.

"Wahhhh!!" we all screamed as she rammed into us, sending us all sprawling on the freezing and slightly damp carpet by the door. 

"NIKKI!!!" we all yelled at her.

"Excuse me. Don't I get a welcome hug too?" asked a caramel voice behind us.

"Hey Gerard" Megan called to him, but she sounds a bit muffled because Isaac was sat on her face.

"Hiya" I said, trying not to sound to enthusiastic. 

So I may have a slight crush on Gerard... Alright, maybe a major crush... Fine, I've been in love with him since I met him four years ago in year seven. 

Okay, bit of an exaggeration, but I'm entitled to a teenage girl moment aren't I? I'm not in love with him, but I do have a crush that won't go away.

Worst part is I don't want to lose a really great friend, and he's never acted like he's interested in anyway, I mean, he's even chatted to me about the girls he likes and asked me for advise, so... yeah, I need to get over him, cause this isn't really working. 

"Come join us then" Isaac suggested to him from the floor.

"I'm fine thanks" he said dryly. 

"Oh come on" Nikki begged him sweetly.

"Yeah," adds Megan grabbing his legs and pulling. "Come join us"

"NOOOO!!!!" Gerard cried as we all join in and he falls on top of us finishing off the tangled heap on the floor. It was kind of like those cartoon twister ads where the cartoons were literally tied together, but with real people.
