Chapter 10:

Emily's P.ov:

We were walking by the school hall, thinking that everything was normal.

"It was a horrible first day till you hit that asshole, " Lol spoke. I don't get it, why is she still laughing. That shit wasn't funny at all. They could've hurt her. But, no.. All she has to do is laugh.
"Stop laughing already. This isn't funny. Today wasn't funny at all, Lol. Do you think they'll leave us alone this easy? Huh?"
She was about to say yes, but somehow she changed her words by the look on my face," No. I don't know, Em. Will they?"
Now she is sad. God, what am I going to do with this girl.
"It'll be fine. We'll be together, to protect each other, okay?" I mean it. And just for information, she knows karate. Like she is a black belt.
"Just like you saved me today?" she winks and says.
"It was nothing. You have to save me next time. And don't put yourself in trouble, okay?" I say with concern.
"Okay, mommy Emily. "
"Yes, my child. Remember, you owe me your life."
"Always." I guess always could be our okay like Fault in our stars, just a bit of alterations, like instead of love, it's friendship. I mean, I love her alot, but not in that way.

According to me, friendship is the most important thing. After family though. But she is family. I'd choose our friendship always.

That love thing doesn't work much. I have no clue about it. I've never felt it. But ofcourse heard of it.
Friends don't leave you in hard times. They protect you. They stay with you. They correct you. Just like Lol. She has been with me always. I'd leave anything for her. I think she'd do the same. I don't expect anything from her. I believe, the good things we do for others, should be selfless. There shouldn't be any expectation that the person would do the same for you. Not everyone is the same, right? And I always hear people saying, "Look at that person, he/she is so kind or caring. That is so rare these days." I don't know, why is it so rare for people to be kind. They don't even realise that they might be hurting someone by not being kind.

I wish random acts of kindness weren't always reacted to with such surprise, you know? I wish kindness wasn't always so unexpected.
You might have heard this, "A simple act of caring creates endless ripple.."

I'm lost in my own thoughts. Thinking about how it would have been if mom and dad were still here. I don't know why I do this. Scrapping the past won't do me any good. It never does.

Suddenly, I hear someone speaking.
"Dude, are you even listening to me?"
Rolling her eyes, she started again, "World to Emily. You are lost again. How do you manage to do it everytime? Or is it just because you think I'm boring ? You've lost interest in me, Em. Is there someone you aren't telling me about? I want details.. Where, When how???"

God she never stops.
"Calm your ass down, Lola Ass Wong. For heavens sake, I'm not your boyfriend to lose interest in you. And.. "

Hitting me, she blurted, "Heyy!! It's Lola Ann Wong. Keep your ass to yourself. And yes, you aren't intrested in me anymore."

I used to irritate her since childhood by interchanging Ann to Ass. Can't help it. I'm such an evil friend. She is red, like a tomato.

"Your face. Hahaha... Okay. Okay. Sorry. I will never call you Lola Ass Wong ever again. And I haven't yet lost interest in you. If you ask such question again, I'll have to reconsider the losing interest in you thing. And yes I am very much interested in keeping my ass to myself."
She smiles, but it's some kind of creepy smile. She's grinning from ear to ear.
" Trying to be creepy now, are we? Why are you smiling that way ?" I ask.

" Admiring your beauty." Liar.
" OH .MY. GOD. YOU . CALLED . ME . BEAUTIFUL? How am I going to sleep today?" Um, excuse me, drama comes naturally to me.
She still doesn't speak. She's just smiling the same way.
"For the last time. Why the hell are you smiling like this?" I am seriously annoyed right now.

Giving me a look that clearly says she is going to say something cheezy, she says

"Stop being so annoying. It's been days since I've seen you smiling. I won't miss it for the world."
OH. That wasn't cheezy now, was it? It was... It was. Sweet. I hate to say this, but she is kind of acting damn sweet, like she is but.. Whatever.

You know there are times, when you want to say something and have the world to say but when you are about to speak, nothing comes out. You feel me? Yes? Good.
And then there are people who understand you, without you having to utter a word. She is one of them.

"Okay, so this is what I get. I just said you mean the world to me Em. But, you....
Lost in your world again. I don't know. But could you please let me read the novel you are writing up there. Without a pen, notebook or anything.?!"
OKAY. That was lame. If only she knew what I'm thinking.
" Haha, very funny. Let's go home, I'm tired."
I had nothing else to say unlike times. She didn't enquire further.
We walk further to the parking area. And there we see our bikes with ugly purple paint. Don't get me wrong, I love purple. I love unicorn purple. But what I'm seeing right now is.. Is a kind of purple you don't wanna see. It's like a mixture of purple with poop or whatever.. It's ugly and sticky.
That asshole.

"Emmmmmm??? This is gross. Who would do this to are bikes?"
She is still looking for answers. Wow. Really?
"Let's see what we can do now with this thing," I said touching the sticky thing.
I started again, "Really Lol?.. You really don't get this, do you?"
Thinking she spoke, "What are you trying to say? That they.."
"Yesss you idiot."
As I confirmed this, she is kind of shocked. I have no clue as to why she is shocked.

I mean I punched him hard. Letting go of the punching him hard thing. I think he's really more concerned about punching him in front of the school.

Em, what have you put yourself in. God. I wanted a normal school year. And this is not fucking normal. I don't know how I manage to get trouble to myself. Everytime. Everyfuckingtime!!

"Dudeeeee, not again. And if what you are thinking is correct, what would he do next? Do you think we should apologize?"
I don't think Lol that would change anything. Plus apologizing for his mistake. Why?
"I don't know, Lol."

I don't wanna stress on this topic.. He is making it too difficult for us as is it.

People are making fun of him. Congratulating me. Like why?.. I did nothing. He wouldn't have done this if there were no people out there making fun of him. And because of those idiots we here, have to face the consequences.
Uggghhhhhhhhhhhh..
