Prologue: You never know when it happens

•°•°•°•PROLOGUE•°•°•°•

People say that there's lots of fish in the sea. I don't know if this is true, I've never been a fisher before. There has been only one fish that fascinated me, and it just disappeared after I trusted it. But the hard truth is that it's not about fish, it's about love and real people and you can never know if it's just a fish or real love. There has been only one time I loved someone, and she made me regret it. Now I feel this guilt, deep inside me asking why I miss her. Do I miss her? Do I need someone who broke my heart? No, but this hurts. It was the first time I've experienced true true love and I thought it would be the last time. But you never know when love's going to happen again, and it scares me, because I know i will hurt.

It was finally lunch time,everyone took their bags and quickly got out of the class. I took my book and slowly went to Ms.Macks to take the results of my tests.

"Umm...Ms.Macks?" I asked her with an insecure voice.

She was writing something and she wasn't paying much attention.

"Yes, Chris?" She looked at me, put away the papers she was writing, and took her glasses off.

"Um, I would like to see the results of my last tests, please."

"I'm sorry Chris, but I'm not going to show them. They were not that good though..." She said quietly, and kept looking at me like she was trying to make me apologise.

"Oh..." I said surprised, while I was looking down.

"What's happening to you Chris? You were the best student and now...How come?"

I kept looking down ashamed,and let a sigh. "I...I don't know."

"Oh boy...-"

She laughed and let her pen down. I glanced at her and we made eye contact, while she was scanning my face with her big brown eyes to notice any emotion on my face.

"Chris, you don't have to explain...I was really worried about you last week and I made Nick tell me everything." She said while she was breathing out. She laid back on her comfortable chair, and raised her eyebrows. She was waiting for my reaction. Her cold, curious look made me feel like I was a 10 year old kid, standing in front of the headteacher.

Oh no, Nick told her everything... "Well, I think Nick shouldn't have told anyone, but it's okay." I whispered loud, and looked at her.

"Chris...I've fallen in love before, and I know how you feel, but don't let it bring you down. Please try to forget it and get your grades back high." She smiled at me and then looked back down, put her papers back in front of her and continued writing.

I didn't say anything, I just turned around and made my way to the door.

"Oh,and remember: there's lots of fish in the sea, Chris." She said loud, while I was about to exit the class.

"But I can't see the sea." I said quickly and loud and got out of the class.

I made my way to the cafeteria and I saw nick sitting alone, he was probably waiting for me as always. He wasn't eating, he was playing with the pages of his book. Just by his look, I knew he was nervous. I went there and sat next to him.

"Here you are. What's up?" he asked me and laughed in a weird way. He was probably nervous about the fact that Miss Macks knows everything because of him.

"I can't believe you told her everything." I whisper shouted.

Nick's cheeks became read like fire and he closed his eyes for two seconds. He always does that when he's panicked.

"I couldn't help it man! She MADE me tell her. I'm sorry!" He said panicked, trying to make me forgive him.

"Nick, whatever. I'm not mad at you."

"Oh, thank God." He giggled and let a sigh out of relief...

•°•°•

While I was sitting there, I started thinking, about what Ms.Macks told me:

Maybe people are right, maybe I should forget about it and just move on. Miss Macks was so right, I need to become a good student, just like I was before... Before I fell in love...Love is such a weird thing, it makes you forget about everything without even noticing it. The only thing you care about is Love. It's funny how such a small thing made me so different. Is it just a small thing? Well, love is not the real reason, love is just something we experience, the feeling after love is the one that brings us down.

"Chris? Chris?"Nick was trying to wake me up from my day dream.

"Nick, I am going to forget about it, and I'll be a good student again...okay?' I suddenly said spontaneously, trying to stop him from telling me that I need to forget about it. I knew he was going to tell me this, it's a part of my daily routine now. I was just tired of him, telling the same thing every day. 'Be who you were Chris. Where did that perfect guy go?'...That perfect student, that perfect social guy, that perfect funny guy...is gone. Love destroys our perfectness. But I can't tell him that...he's my best friend. The only thing I can tell him, is that I'll listen to him and be who I was.

"Wow, I'm glad you decided that man!" He said sarcastically.

I wish I meant what I just said...But it's impossible to be who I was, and stop being a poor heartbroken guy. I want to be safe...I don't want to love again...but I'm still afraid, because like I said, you never know when love's going to happen...I'll somehow love again, and change who I am. Somehow love is going to happen...and I will love again. That's what scares me.
