THE LONER BOY AND THE LONELY GIRL VOLUME 2

3.5

(After calming down and taking a breather our lovely narrator returns...)

 *Cheering noises* 

*Hey guys I'm back and I'm sorry for the breakdown, it won't happen again... Anyway, the class continued till the lunch break.* 

Someone forgot to tell that, Chelsea returned as soon as the class was about to start. If she was not feeling well, she should have stayed in the medical room. I mean that does relieve me from all the hateful stares. I mean, you should have seen their faces when Chelsea returned to the classroom... it was as if, "Their Long gone princess had returned from the grasps of the devil king himself." 

 I mean just fuck off, I was helping her you bastards. 

Anyway, looks like everyone is surrounding Chelsea again. I think they are asking her about what had happened. Well, it has nothing to do with me this time. I already helped her, but she came back instead of staying there in the safe zone. I don't understand this common mentality of people, 'Doing things the hard way.' Have you ever wondered about, how easy everyone's life would be if they 'Did things the easy way.'

 Well, it's her life, who am I to judge if she wants to do things the hard way. 

 Right now, it's the lunch break... I'll take you through my usual routine. 

 *the prick gets up and goes on his way to the canteen.* 

(Hey!!!)

 Firstly I will be heading to the canteen. I'll tell you about, how I manage my lunch money and save some for other stuff too. But to understand it properly, you have to get an idea about our high school fee structure. So, our high school is one of the top rankers in the state. It has a 3-year program where education is provided for free but there are extra charges for uniforms, textbooks, lunch and trips. So these charges are taken as the starting fee... and lunch money is of course excluded and the trip charges are optional too. 

So, I being a loner, never go on any trips. So basically due to this, I save a lot of money for lunch and the leftover is added to 'when Leo becomes adult savings.'. You see that's what I call being smart (more like cheap).

 As usual, there is a long queue. There are various noises everywhere in this room. Some people are marking their seats, while their friends get food. There are typical high school groups everywhere, these are like the people you always meet in high school. Seriously for a loner like me, canteen is the worst place to enter.

 I remember this one time, while I was sitting on a table minding my own business in 'the Infinity' a bunch of people asked to join me. I mean the whole seat was empty, they could have taken the seat without even bothering me. But it was a plan which I understood later when their friends starting coming one by one till a point came by when I was the one bothering them. I was forced to leave the place. From then on I decided to find my place somewhere else. And to be honest it was a successful adventure, as I ventured far and wide around the school that I went to and found some amazing places, which these commoners could never discover, even in their wildest dreams. 

Anyways, why is everyone suddenly quiet... 

 *Leo turns around to check the cause of silence* 

As I turned around, I let out a sigh, as I forgot that only my class has witnessed this miracle known as Chelsea. The whole school has yet to observe this phenomenon. I mean she truly is a sight to behold.

 As I looked straight at her, our eyes met for a second but this time she avoided my gaze. Wow, she finally decided to avoid me huh? Nothing new, it was going to happen sooner or later. I mean just look at her and look at me, we live in completely different worlds. Her behaviour would have disturbed me if I was 'me' from before but now ... I'm accustomed to this feeling.
