The next day at school starts just like the last. I wake up to my alarm, get dressed, have breakfast, and drive to school. Unlike yesterday, I am going to have a serious talk with my friend Selena. A talk that is going to be difficult because I don't actually care about Selena's feelings for Tristan, I just need her to let me be friends with him so that I can kill him.
Upon arriving to school, Selena and her group of friends swarm around my car. Ever since I started driving to school, they started hanging around my car. It's the coolest one in the lot, and they all think it might attract guys for them to hit on.
I mean it worked, but it's still dumb.
It's also pretty fun to try and get out of a car when 20 teenage girls are swarmed around it. And by pretty fun, I mean it's annoying and I'm very tempted to start opening my door at full strength and break some bones. Though I think I could get sued for that. Or maybe get put in juvie for an assault charge.
Stupid laws.
Anyway, I manage to get out of my car after a couple minutes of lightly pushing teenagers out of the way, and head straight for Selena. She's talking to some guy that seems to be very enthusiastically telling her about an anime. She doesn't look into it and is looking for some way to get away from him. I haven't seen anyone so happy to see me in a long time.
"Sorry Jason, Alaina really needs me to help her with math homework, talk to you later," she says and pushes past him.
"But-"
"Bye Jason!"
Selena pushes me over to my car. "Thank god you came along, I don't know how much longer I would have been able to deal with him explaining the crappiest anime ever to me."
"You've seen it?"
"Only 2 episodes. It was garbage."
I laugh, "You do realize that Jason is in our math class, right? He definitely did not believe you that I would need help."
"Whatever, if he never talks to me again, I'll be happy."
"He tried to explain to me what RAM is. I'm in his computer science class and have a better grade than him, and he tried to explain to me what RAM is."
"Seriously? We're the two best students in the class."
"He thinks I'm stupid, and I think I want to punch him in the throat."
I laugh again, and then sober up and say, "I need to talk to you about Tristan."
"You want to date him don't you? Come on man, that's against girl code!"
"I don't want to date him."
"Mhm, then what do you want to talk to me about?"
"I need you to stop pushing me out of a room every time I try to talk to him. YOu told me about your crush. I start trying to be your wingman and you block me from it."
"You could have told me that was what you were trying to do, he has been looking at you like he's in love with you and you seem happy about it. THat doesn't give me wingman vibes."
"When I reject him and friendzone him, don't you think he's probably going to need a shoulder to cry on? The rejection will be worse if he thinks that I've been flirting with him."
"Oh you are so evil! I love you!"
I try to smile convincingly at her. If only she knew. I feel really bad that I'm going to let her start dating Tristan, and then kill him. Her boyfriend is all of a sudden going to disappear. I let myself wallow in the guild for a few minutes until the bell rings, and then I shove it out of my mind.
