Move On? No (ON HOLD)

Chap 2 : That's way too cliché

"Last, but not least, avoid clichés like the plague." - William Saphire

**************

Just like any other cliché teen book, here I am, (almost) starting my own with school halls, lockers, kids strolling around - you know the usual. But do you know what would make this super-er cliché? If some ultra popular bad guys, who're so full of themselves, suddenly made their heck of an appearance.

Hah! Totally not gonna happen.

"Oh my god! They're here!"

And then everyone's either like "Oooh they're soo hot!!" Or "Who in the world do they think they are!?" And I am already regretting my thoughts.

I can almost hear their theme song in the background.

And yeah, you guessed right fellas. Presenting to you our cliché highschool bad boy group, and for guessing that right you get... ah............... uhm... nothing?

And then comes the girl bumping into the main bad boy and for me it's way too cliché. So, I do what no girl ever did in all those books I read. I turned around. Walked away like I didn't give a dem and then there were cool explosions behind me just like the movies - hah! just kidding. But yeah, I did walk away from the unbearable clichés and proceeded to class - Joy!

"Rosanna Smith!"

I get up abruptly, taken by surprise, and look ahead only to see him giving me the 'look' and a raised eyebrow. Urghh. Does he really have to call everyone by their full name?!

"You are supposed to be present in class," he states.

Oh my god, he totally thinks I'm a weirdo. He definitely still doesn't like me. Goddddd.

"Oh yeah-sorry. Sir," I reply awkwardly, wait a bit for any further reaction and on receiving none whatsoever, I sit back down. Every one still had their prying eyes on my stupid self and it felt so awkward and awful and every synonym there is in the book.

Why don't they just continue with their own business!?

I shouldn't care.

But they were - I look at my seat mates a.k.a my friends and they were also giving me looks. Why are they-?

"Everything alright Rose?" Amelia's the first to ask -oh, that's why genius!

Unwisely I reply with : "Yeah everything's alrighty right."

It should be.

They just eye me weirdly and get back to their work.

Well.

"Class open page 96. Today we will be studying Carbon dating," he says to the class.

WHAAATTT??? Did he just say carbon dating? O.M.G. Carbon actually dates-? And we are studying that!?!

<><>
 
Alas.

Turns out that this 'Carbon dating' is far from what I had thought.

Ha ha. What an imagination I have!

Gawwd I'm so dumb.

With that Mr. Edwards goes on and on about 'chemystry' stuff - hah such a mystery. But the only thing I wanna think of right now is the end of this. I just can't bear anymore brain damage by overthinking + Chemistry.

Three - two - one - Aand I'm out.

"Bye girls, see ya later!" I wave at the girls, not even properly looking at them, and flee the room at top speed.

One down, five more to go!

It's not like I hate school. Ok. Or maybe I do? But I wasn't always like this. I was the goody two shoes in school. There was even a time when I really wanted to come, so I could meet my bestie, spend time with her, have fun, go to music class and- oh! never mind. Back then I didn't even want Saturday or Sunday to be off days. Well, (*sigh) that was before life happened and then even she, as in Arissa, had to move to another damned place. I really really miss ma' bestie and those good ol' days.

Sighs. Feelings won't change a thing.

However, as I was saying, I don't exactly hate school but today I just can't stand it. I wonder why? I mean nothing unusual or bad happened - right? Still, here I am not wanting to stay, study, and socialize. Hah! What an alliteration! But still, I am clearly not in the mood. I'd rather be in an unknown Universe than this place.

But you have to go through this, whether you like it or not - my inner voice reminds me.

Aarrgh! Why is this woman always right!

With all this going in my head plus me wondering why I always state and explain things like I have an invisible audience in front of me, I drag myself to the next class cause she's right after all.

Next class Anatomy - How exciting! This day just keeps getting better. And in that thought, I could basically taste my sarcasm.

Just gotta get through this.

Sigh.

Countless hours later, the bell goes like it usually goes like. And I am all like: "Lunch room here I come!"

"Not so fast hon," Zoe stops me in my tracks by pulling my bag's strap.

"Yeah Rose, you should at least wait for us," adds Amelia.

"But.... waiting for me.." I pout like the confused, little child I am.

"Yeah yeah, let's go drama queen," Zoe waves her hand in a dismissive manner.

Tho I really very much wanted to tell her that I'm not a drama queen, but I can't be away from my love for another second, so I just save that time by scampering off to the lunch room.

I'm coming baby!
