Umpteen Disadvantages of Being Awesome

Disadvantage 2 - Emotional Disasters

Disadvantage 2 - For 'awesome' people, taking negativity in stride is mandatory and that's how you become emotional disaster.

"BECK! Am I going to ever see you out of the house on time ?"  Mom half yelled – as always. Then she says she has no idea how her voice has become so hoarse. The other thing is she will always say I'm late even if I reach school 10 minutes early. No one I repeat no freakin' one can argue with her on time-related issues.

Grabbing my bag from the counter I run towards the bus stop which is like five minutes walk or a three minutes run. Yeah I know but I swear I got no problem in not owning a car. The public bus does as much good to me. The bus stop is just at the same distance from school, five minutes walk or a three minutes run. According to mom I am late everyday but..

Okay crap. For a change she was right today. Seeing the bus start of again from the bus stop while I am just a little run away is quite dangerous. Can't go back home. Nope.

I was already running towards the stop and now seeing bus leave I just tried walking faster.

"Hey wait!!" Time and a bus wait for none.

I was running like my whole life depends on my legs. Oh, for the moment it did. My legs, poor legs they deserve a spa but even they know they ain't getting it. Still they didn't disappoint me.

Once inside, I gave flying kisses to the audience all around ( might I add imaginary ) who just saw me beating Jessie Owens record.

Got down and this time walked to my school. Sunflower High School. The name is so wrong cause there are more of petunias than a rare sun flower.

As I entered, I was well known to the fact that Marc wouldn't be here. He has an early morning football practice. Nevertheless, it doesn't keep me from looking out for him. Heading towards my locker, I saw Lize there standing near mine.

"He is not here. Stop looking all over." Lize said in a tone showing off her disapproval.

"A very good morning to you too Charlize Carol."

"You suck at this." She said. "At what ?" was my immediate reply.

"At this-pretending not to give a damn, pretending that all the weekend you were reading Dummies Guide To Being Sarcastic instead of thinking about Marc and his hair and oh yeah your confession."

This made me think. Think quite too much for my brain to accept. I really need to stop before I become one of those love sick puppies kinda girls.

"You know." I replied after a while. "You are just jealous that you aren't blessed with sarcasm like me."

This made her pull over a smile and thankfully she did change the subject too. In middle of how she's going to trick everyone in turning up their chocolate mousses to her, Racheal came over. This year its quite different, I hardly have my classes with these three people and Marc. Actually even Dean. But I am good enough in any situation.

"I need to go in just a minute. Mrs. Hooch had called me. I'll tell you your much awaited answer in recess." Racheal said with a grin spreading over her face.

"Okay then off you go." Waddup Harry Potter reference ?

Giving away my end of the day salutations to Racheal and Lize, I went towards my first class of the day. My first class with Geny too. I meet her half way and she doesn't look quite happy over the fact that I didn't meet her in the morning and was 'socializing and sharing best second of my life' with Racheal.

"Beck. She's weird okay ? She's very weird." Emphasizing on very.

"You know she once gave me quite a long explanation on how she prefers being the weirdo instead of prim perfect."
