Blackout

"Is it something I did?Why Avie,why?After all we've been through i think you owe me an explanation why you wanna break up with me.,"

The exact words i was dreading. As i stood there, looking into the eyes of the girl who i had a crush on for so long, and still have a crush on, i dont know what to tell her. After all this time, i cant find it in myself to lie to her. I cant tell her i lost interest, as that's a lie. I cant tell her that she's done something wrong because she's been too good a girlfriend.I cant tell her there was someone else. I can't t say anything but the truth. And what was truth?

[20 minutes later]

I walked to the canteen. If there was a time in life when I really needed my friends, it was now. As i took my seat. They were all halfway through the meal and didnt really take notice of my arrival. Which i prefer for now,at least. 

 "So where were you, Vilet? Busy with Anna, i presume?" said my friend Prash, with a sly smile down his face. Prash was the school playboy. With a lethal combination of wit and romance,with just the right amount of looks, he could seduce anyone he wanted. Well, not anyone.

"Um,yeah, something like that." i mutter in response. You dont exactly have much enthuisiasm when you think of your ex that you just broke up with barely 20 minutes before,right?

"Cool" replies Prash, to my relief. They can't know just yet.

Then,that's when disaster struck. I see Anna in tears walking to her friends table at the other end of the canteen.  I could make out Esther and Fariz,her best friends, asking what was wrong. I could faintly hear her sobs. As i looked around the table, none of my friends seemed to have taken notice.

I mine as well tell them. Before they find out themselves.

"Um,guys, i have something to tell you," i say to the table.

"What? That you finally realised you're a girl?"says Josh, causing the table to erupt with laughter.Classic Josh

"No i'm serious. The reason i came late to recess was..." 

I'm cut off as i feel a sudden jerk from behind me. The next thing i know i'm out of my chair staring fface to face with Fariz Iskandar. Fariz was 198 centimeters of muscle and power. Captain of the school fottball team, he was also the most popular guy at school. Did i mention he's Anna's best friend?

"Hey asshole,what the hell did you do to Anna,huh?" he says as he gives me a shove. 

"Dude its complicated" i say,trying to calm him down.

It doesnt work." Then uncomplicate it for me.RIGHT NOW" he says at me menacingly. 

As i glance around the canteen, I see the entire canteen has its eyes on us. The usually noisy canteen is as quiet as a graveyeard. Soon to be my graveyard.

I see Josh,Prash and Woon getting out the their seats. Fearing the worst, i gesture for them to sit down before things got out of hand. "I can handle this," i think to myself.

I suck up all my remaining courage and reply,"Dude, its between Anna and I, so im telling you respectfully to stay out of it".

"Alright" he says as he backs off. I feel relieved. I can't believe i defused the situation.

I turn to sit down at my table. Suddenly, a sharp pain screams from my head.Everything goes black.
