Me, Myself and I

07 - Papers

It had already been three whole days since Patty's betrayal. I didn't stop talking to her. After all, she was my best friend (even though a traitorous best friend).

But she just couldn't shut up with questions about it like: 'What did you talk about?', 'Did he smile at you?', 'Did you have a fling?' and many others. And of course, I didn't get into much detail. Although I did say yes to some questions and pretended that those things she wanted to happen did happen with a big smile on my face. And when she got really hopeful I said that it wasn't true.

I know it's not exactly the right thing to do, but it's funny and revenge is a dish best served cold...

At that moment I was waiting for Patty in the parking area next to her car as always. She was probably just doing something like make-up or fixing her hair or just doing what normal people do (or at least I do) in the bathroom.

Whatever it was I knew it was gonna take a while, so I just pulled some papers from English class out of my bag and tried to organize them, since I'm not known for my flawless organization or not losing at least one paper in a week...

Back to the story...

The papers were all in my hand. Some were backwards, some were upside down, some were not from English class, some were... glued? Oh, yeah, must have been because of the gum that was... never mind. The lesson from all of this is that both me and the cleaning staff need to have an organization intervention.

While I was putting the papers in order someone decided to walk my way. And not just one person. Four of them.

"We meet again." A strong voice said. I would know that voice anywhere. And I didn't like to hear it. So without looking up I simply responded. "What up, Alvin?" And then I looked up.

There they were. The Not So Fantastic 4. The Slimy Tall Fish, the Clueless Dinosaur, the Sassy Squirrel, and... well... Adam. He had already said that he was sorry for all that crappy stuff and constantly laughing at me. So I guess this time I won't give him a nickname. This time.

While all these things were running in my head, the quartet was looking at me. While Harry was trying to embrace all the information, the other three were all just trying really hard to contain their laugh. Which was pretty funny to watch. Especially Adam.

"I'm sorry... what?" Harry asked confused. "My name is Harry. Not Alvin!" He really wasn't understanding, right? Oh my dear god! So I just kept my serious face. "Well, even though you are kinda small, you're not fat like Theodore. And he's much more sweet than you too. And you're also not Simon because you don't wear glasses, and you don't seem to be that smart. So you're Alvin. And he's kind of annoying like you. Now, go away."

But he remained clueless. So I simply asked. "Never heard of Alvin and the Chipmunks? There are 4 movies? Main characters are all little animals with annoying voices?" He blinked twice. Damn, the guy was stupider than I thought.

"Are you calling me a chipmunk?" I let my head down a little to the right. "You're more like a squirrel, but I guess that chipmunks do the same thing... so yeah. Wasn't it obvious?"

And in that moment, I knew, I fucked up...

Nah, just kidding.

Actually, I was feeling really confident and certain of what I was saying. After all that guy had already insulted me twice. I was just avenging myself.

What really happened was the sudden wild laugh of three big bear people behind Harry. I wasn't sure if I was being funny or not. I just knew that I was saying what was in my head. And that the guy deserved it. So I just made a small smile. I don't consider it innocent. Just...careless. Yeah... a careless smile.
