ATTRACTION?!

Rumors

 2 hours ago 

"what are you doing? that's my spot." started a lazy female voice. 

"I was ju-" sharp glare: activated "y-yes ma'am" and the poor guy flees. 

"annoying..." A deep audible breath escaped her lips as she scratch her nape lazily, all eyes on her. 

She looked around still wearing a scowled face "tsk." Then she walked away out of the classroom and slammed the door. 

Deep sigh  

violent and aggressive  

not my type 

I nodded to confirm my thoughts but a low continuous background noise grabbed my attention 

-I bet she's smoking her ass off in the school 

-or maybe she's with that third year hottie 

-oh, yeah... I think I saw them somewhere together out of the school 

-really? they suit each other 

-those delinquents 

-I heard that they're going out. 

-I bet they're seeing each other now 

-what can they be doing?? 

-slutty 

-disgusting  

-she might be pregnant, it explains her mood swings?!  

I quit listening when they started giggling hysterically. 

I seriously think most of the girls have retarded laughter. 

Nasty rumors are as nasty as the people that keeps them around. 

I also experience rumors going on about me as well, it wasn't fun, but of course they're not as serious as the rumors that I've heard today. 

It was back when I was in elementary school, I've always shown a lack of interest on whatever happened in my surroundings so I was the kid who was easy to be picked on. 

It started when we were having recess and I was sitting with this girl. 

Suddenly, she farted. 

The sound was so loud, everyone heard it.

Her attempt of hiding the loud sound was a failure.The timing was perfect, she let it all out when there was silence in the class, one of those rare moments when a class of elementary students was only concentrating on putting food into their mouth. Actually I was in awe.

I guesse she wanted to slam her book on the desk and fart simultaneously, to create an even louder sound and to hide the fart.

but what happend was...

book slammed on desk then, fart.

I looked at her direction, her hands was already covering her nose and looking at me with teary eyes.

I honestly felt bad for her.

Untill...

"this guy right here farted!" her finger pointing at me.

"bi-" Since then rumors like:

-farting is my hobby-farting was my talent-all kinds of stuff regarding farting- spread.

There was no escaping.

I had an unresponsive attitude about the situation so it wasn't as fun as teasing other people.

my classmates grew tired of it and stopped.

The era of my most noticed days of my school career had also ended.

I never knew what happend to that unfortunate girl. I hope she's living well and that she's capable of controlling herself more.

I sacrificed my image for yours.

It's ok. It's easy to forget about me.

But I wonder if it's easy to forget about other people too?

just like the walk-out girl in my class.

she's quite a famous character at school.

She sure knows how to be flasy with her actions.

She's also pretty.

It doesn't concern me.

Infact we live on diffrent worlds...

Just few people knows my name at school.

I don't have a lot of presence.

I'm a plain guy with long hair and glasses and also considered a dork by few friends.

I don't care much about apperance to be honest.

I have nothing much to say about myself.

I can manage on doing most of the things...I'm not clumsy.

modestly speaking, somethimes I can do better than anyone else but not to the extent of being noticed.

I'm avarage. I like it like that.

"so...you always do stuff half assed?" my subconscious spoke.

you're talking to me again.

since you asked, I guesse I do?

I never had the urge to give it my all.

I never had reasons to push myself to the limit.

My solo conversation was cut off by the school bell.

Another same day as yesterday yet to come.

that's what I thought untill our unexpected meeting.
