Hello, my name is Lyla

T W O: Tomato is the color of the day.

"A month. Is just a god damn month and she is excited as if they were celebrating 50 years of marriage. This is ridiculous." Maggie told me as I buried my face inside my bag. "But the funny thing is... looks like he forgot about it"

I pulled my head out of my bag and looked at her. "What?" 

"Yeah, he looks so surprised." I turned my head to look at Jonathan and Camilla, he looked overwhelmed and she was giving him the best of her smiles and talking nonstop. When she looked at her phone, Jonathan and I crossed sights, he looked at me with an expression that clearly said <Kill me please!> and I did the only thing I've been doing the last month when he looks at me with that begging look, smile pitifully at him.

"He deserves to be miserable." I said to Maggie as I turned again to look at her. "When someone decide to date an airhead like her, that person deserves to be really miserable... and unhappy."

"Obviously he is not in his right mind" Marcus said as he pulled a chair to sit with us. Marcus is Jonathan best friend since ever, just like Mags and me. And he's been chasing Mags since then too. "She is just a way to distract himself from his real crush."

"And that's Lyla of course" Maggie said and I hit her. "What?"

"Of course she is" Marcus said. "But he's an idiot." He looked at his friend and then pointed at me. "So are you."

And I hit him. Yes, I'm an aggressive girl and I don't care.

Why is everyone saying nonsense about Jonathan and me? This past month I've heard at least 20 times how I should do something to get him <back> and I'm like: <when was Jonathan mine?> Anyway, everybody seems to know us better than we do and of course, they could have done all this matchmaking before but, why not doing it when he is dating the evil bitch?

"So now everyone is so sure about that but, a month ago, nobody said shit." I said mad. "I'm really tired of all this nonsense about us liking each other and being idiots at the same time. I don't want to hear another word about this. If he wants to be with her and be miserable, fine. I don't care." I stand up and made my way to the patio, I needed fresh air to empty my head and cool down a bit.

Maggie followed me all the way to our spot in the patio. "Woah, to be over him already you look like hell."

"It's not about being over him or not, is the fact that all I've been hearing the last month is that he is an idiot and that he should be with me. For god sake he is not getting married, we're fourteen. You people need to grow up."

"Said the adult" Maggie laughed. "Come on Lyles, relax and let everyone be stupid, even me." She hugged me and I sighed. "Let's go, class is about to start."

After my rebel moment in the morning, the day passed by really fast but, when we went for lunch, a bomb exploded. Or it sounded like that.

Camila was all red, yelling at Jonathan in the middle of the cafeteria while the whole school was looking at them. He looked so scared and I couldn't care less, he deserved it. Suddenly she started crying and he hugged her and... everybody started clapping! (really people? Claps? What is this, a Broadway show?)

"I want to vomit." I said to Maggie as I stand up only to be interrupted.

"So do I" Marcus said, approaching us for the second time today. "Anyway, he broke up with her"

And I sit down again. "No way Jose. Why?" Maggie looked at Marcus expectantly, she loved gossip as much as she loved chocolate.

"Looks like she was kind of... excited with the one-month thing and Jonathan was so scared... and I told him about our early talk. You know when you got all furious with every single living people on earth. Are you on your period?"
