"Mindy i couldn't care less about her you know" I scoffed as I shoved a full spoon of rice inside my mouth. "Come on~ I know u wanna know" she winked at me teasingly. Honestly, I didn't have that huge urge to know, however hearing about her and how she's gonna end up miserably makes me happy.
"Well she has a new boyfriend!" Mindy whispered, half yelling. I smirked and scoffed, "It's not something new. She gets a new boyfriend every week" I stated an honest fact. "But I heard that this one is not like the other boyfriends she had." Mindy said.
"In which way? In being more beautiful than her?" I laughed and Mindy soon joined. "Well idk but I bet he is really handsome" She confessed, eating her left overs. I honestly didn't find anything interesting. I simply stopped to find stuff interesting.
-in class-
"Nell, your pairing with Luna " I simply yet slowly moved to sit down next to her. Our teacher planned on giving us a project to do. "So listen up students. Each group has to do a different topic about the French Revolution" Our teacher kept blathering her irrelevant words.
'Can't I just do it individually?' I thought feeling so down already. People around are just so fake. And I don't want drama for ffs.
"U may start by now" the teacher flopped down on the chair, sighing in relief. I slowly turned around to face Luna. "Hey" I smiled at her. Surprisingly she smiled back and replied "hey Nell". Nice People....?. We got to start the project peacefully.
"Dismissal time". These two words that I have been dying to hear the whole day, finally made an appearance. I stood up taking my stuff and looked at Luna. "Well I'll see u later" I smiled softly at her as I waved and left.
'We are all fake...even yourself ' my brain spoke sternly.
Words of hate and disgust came towards me as I was walking down to my locker. "She's a slut" a girl said and I just smirked thinking 'if I'm a slut then what's Lisa? A mope. To mope of the boys'. "Is she a human even?" A boy said.
'Well idk either since I see humans but no humanity' I answered his question honestly yet mentally.
I finally reached my locker and placed my unnecessary books as in for today. "Nell!" I heard Mindy's voice from across the long hallway. "Hey~" I waved at her and she just hugged me lightly.
'I'm hurt Mindy.your hugs heal. It's just so comforting'
"Come on. Let's go. I'm going to drop you home". Mindy grabbed my arms and walked us outside the school. For a moment my smile dropped, knowing I'm going to go back...home.
"Are you okay?" Mindy asked looking worried. I immediately put my smile back and nodded eagerly "yup lol don't worry" I hugged her arms to assure her that I'm fine. "How about we grab some ice cream from the shop down across the road on the left, behind the park" I left my opinion slip from my smiling lips.
'Mindy was the only person who I would actually let her hear my opinions....maybe because she's not fake'
She happily nodded her head and pulled me as we ran towards the cute ice cream shop.
-at the ice cream shop-
"Here you go~" I handed Mindy her chocolate ice cream with some M&M as a topping. "Come to mommy!" She gladly took it from my hands and immediately took a small piece and ate it. I chuckled "chill dude. Let's sit in the park" I walked and she followed next to me. We didn't talk as we were too busy expressing how tasty the ice cream is.
"Ahh~ this is refreshing" I laid down on the bright green grass. "Indeed, because you're with me ;)" Mindy laughed and laid beside me.
"Dream big" we both laughed and looked at the skies moving really slowly.'With all the things happening in life so fast, it is really hard for me to keep up with life anymore'
"Nell..." She softly whispered. "Mm?" I hummed in response. "How big is the universe?" Mindy asked with a really low voice making me barely catching up her question. "Idk....big as our hearts?" I answered yet confused with my own words. "My heart is not that big. I can barely take stuff " Mindy said honestly. "Mines is.". That was my simple answer yet the most painful words that came out of my mouth.
"Do you ever feel lonely?" She said, admiring the sky that is slowly getting darker. 'Always...with every breathe I take' . "Yeah...sometim-" I cut myself with a long deep sigh. " I do too sometimes but I'm always recovered when I tell you my opinions and you enjoy hearing them" Mindy turned her head to me and smiled. " I'm glad clumsy" I chuckled back.
We both turned our head back up to find the whole sky pitch black. 'It's so pretty. Darkness is so pretty' I thought and gulped smiling after it.
"Let me drop you first" I obliged her. "But I said I will!" She claimed. "But I want to buy some groceries for my mom so let me drop you first" I gave a convincing excuse. "Fine then!" Mindy replied stomping her feet as she walked past me making herself look angry. I laughed and caught up to her.
-after I dropped Mindy home-
My smile dropped so fast just like a lightning strike. I got depressed again as all the depressing thoughts ran to find their positions in my brain. 'Can you please stop?' I asked my brain. 'I can't. It's who you really are' it answered back. ' you're the most honest, and the most skillful lier'. I overlooked the fake people surrounding me.
'I'm so tired. I'm tried of life and it's drama'
