Never Heard

08th January 2018

It's been scientifically proven that high school students have the same amount of anxiety as people in mental asylums because of the stress that school provides them with.

Yet here we are again... school reopened.Fantastic!

It was abnormally cold that day, the ground was wet and most of it turned into ice. All the students waited for the bell to ring so the classes will begin but in that time all of them talked to their friends. I met up with Jane after those 4 weeks of separation and updated her on everything that happened throughout these days. At first she didn't believe me and laughed but then somehow it got to her and she pulled me into a close hug.

"It's okay Lou, don't worry it will be okay. Just play it cool." She commented as she fixed her ginger locks while sipping on her Starbucks coffee that she got before she came to school. I told her that I'm kind of over the whole thing and I'm better but still hurting a little bit. A sigh escaped my mouth and turned into steam since it was cold.

"Hey Lou..." I heard a husky voice coming from behind me; I immediately turned around to see Jay standing in front of me. His purple hair hidden under a beanie, however few of the hairs made it out and wiggled on the breeze. His cheeks were red from the temperature just like the tip of his nose, kind of funny but I probably looked the same so I'm not gonna make any comments on that. "Hey." I answered him, "How are you?" He asked, "I'm fine, thanks... how are you?" "I'm doing fine but yeah I wanted to tell you that Joe, Lee, Daniel, Anna and Bruce are gonna come to school pick us up and we are gonna dip to your place." He added, at first I was surprised but shook it off. "I see you guys are making plans in my house without informing me or Emily. Damn haha" I laughed, "sorry bruh but yeah I will catch you later ok?" "Y-yeah!" I stuttered, Jay hugged me tightly for 'goodbye' and left to his friends.

I turned to Jane who was clearly shocked by what the fuck just happened. "Since when do you guys talk in REAL LIFE?!" She questioned, we both laughed and heard the bell which meant we had to head to our classes.

For the rest of the day we did the usual, made fun of people, talked about my drama and missed Isai since he had to skip school because he's too lazy to come. Once it was already time to leave I walked Jane to her bus and promised to tell her everything that happened tomorrow when I see her.

As I was walking back to the quad I spotted Adam standing alone by the wall, so I thought 'why not say hi to him.' The boy was happy to see me as he hugged me tightly and asked if I'm doing okay. Of course I had to tell him I was fine since I didn't wanna cause a scene and I didn't want to worry him. "How's you and Jay? You guys are good now?" Asked Adam, I could see my reflection in his glasses, "yeah I guess, I mean he literally walked up to me ON HIS OWN and spoke to me; kind of weird for him but yeah he's coming over now with the rest of the guys so it's gonna be fun." "Haha! That's nice, use protection kids..." "Yeah! As if anything will happen. It's a miracle the guy knows my name." I joked around, I had to stop talking about it though since I saw Jay approaching us. "What are you lads talking about?" He asked, "I'm recruiting Adam for the Illuminati, wanna join?" I suggested, "nah I'm good thanks, but we gotta go cause our friends are here, I'm gonna grab Alex and we can dip." Added Jay as he left us alone again.

"Illuminati? Seriously?" Laughed Adam, "Did you have anything better in mind? No! So shh!" I giggled, we talked for a little longer until he had to go catch a bus home, that's when I dipped to Bruce and the rest of the guys, Emily was already there talking to all of them.

We had to take two cabs home because we couldn't fit in one and drove all the way to my place. Jay and I were squished together because Daniel and Lee were sitting backseat with us and it was hard to breathe. "Put your legs on top of mine, it will be more comfortable." Commanded Jay, I did as he said and it was better to be honest. He was playing with my hair and face for the whole ride home and touching my hands. Suddenly he pulled out my phone and began taking selfies with me for no reason.

'What the fuck is wrong with him? Why is he acting like this?' I thought to myself since it was pretty weird for him to do that after everything that happened on December 19th.

Once we got home all of us chilled in our living room and watched 8 Mile. Emily of course had no idea who Eminem was so we legit had to give her an entire background story but she still didn't understand. The only thing she understood was that he was another white guy who's an actor and he raps.

After most people left me and Jay went up to my room since he wanted to draw with my digital tablet and we chilled together for the rest of the day.

I was lying on my bed and then he joined me and we watched memes on his phone and laughed out asses off. I felt this little tingle between us as if we just raised our friendship level higher. Like you know in the sims game when two sims would interact together they would get those points and get closer? Yeah that's how I felt right now. As if we got more friendship points. Retarded I know.

At one point Jay wrapped his arm around my shoulder and brought me closer to him, I kind of hesitated but went along with it. My head was resting on his chest and his hand was wrapped around my waist while we watched the videos on his phone and slowly went to sleep. We were woken up by the sound of Joe barging through the door.

"Guys they're fucking!" He yelled, we jumped away from each other and I yawned, "I KNEW IT! Man fuck you Jay, why didn't you tell me!?" Exclaimed Lee. At one point we began laughing and explaining the situation. Of course they didn't believe us.

They decided that it was time to head home so we made up a plan to walk Jay, Bruce and Anna home, drop Joe and Daniel on the way and Alex, Emily and I will go to Lee's place to chill there for a little bit.

Bruce and Jay lived in the blocks not so far away from the center of the town, it was a pretty convenient place to live in since most of the people from the park and over all school lived there. When we were close to their house Alex began complaining that his legs hurt and he insisted on a piggy back ride from me.

I didn't expect it to end in a fucking disaster though...

Alex jumped on my back and his weight made me fall down with him and ended up getting buried in the snow left overs. Great! Thanks Alex. I'm totally joking, it was funny as fuck. I love that guy.

All of us hugged the three of them goodbye and we walked to Lee's place.

Not a bad start of the new year and semester...
