Us and them..

chapter 2: High school , a new chapter in my life

Summer was over , and school has started .. Kate, Jane and I , or the “trio” as we were used to call ourselves , were dead excited about this whole new world . we were just three freak girls , going around in the courtyard while holding each other’s hands ,staring at the handsome senior guys wondering what their names and grades were , trying to make friendships with them using facebook first , and then talking to them in real life .. I was the only one to speak to them though , cause Jane was too shy to do that , and for Kate..guys from our school were never good enough for her so she tended to make friendships with guys from other schools or even universities at times ..

Each one of us , had a crash in school at that time though, or maybe many crashes at a time , Cause I remember that as soon as I got over the neighbor that I used to like , I started liking a guy named Keith , Kate started liking Alex , and Jane used to like Eric , Well , the three of us used to like Eric , and maybe all the girls inside and outside our school too , he was like the hottest guy in there , but he was too shy and timid , a way that made him unable to talk to girls he doesn’t know .. that’s why he always tended to keep himself surrounded by his male classmates , and an ugly girl that always kept him company .. And I remember that Jane and I used to Stalk him every Friday at the lunch break to the train station and then go back to school to study ..

Keith was a senior , I still don’t know how I came to like him , because he sure isn’t my type at all , he was not handsome ,he sure isn’t a gentleman and he’s a nerd , so why did I like him back in high school , and why did I marry him now .. blank..blank.. no idea , but I’ll admit that he’s got some gorgeous green eyes and a great way of speaking , he’s a jerk though .. I can tell that from my Both experiences with him , in high school , and in marriage ..

 Kate had too many guys at her knees at the time .. the main ones were Alex and Kauris ..Kauris was her childhood friend and her neighbor.. the poor guy , I still remember him pretty well , he was a senior , and he was in the same class as Keith , he’s done everything for Kate in order to please her and to drive her to like him , but she never did .. she’d only remember him whenever she breaks up with a guy , or whenever she has a special event or party , and had no date to go with her , he would always go  with her , and once they’re there , she’d ditch him and spend the entire party wondering here and there until she finds “ The one “ and forgets completely about Kaur .. How evil of her , but it was so funny to watch him searching for her and then calling her a thousand times without getting an answer , cause she’d always give us her phone whenever she’s with a new guy to answer the countless phone calls from different other guys  .. Oh we used to have so much fun !

Jane was a little different, she was the cutest and the shortest amongst the three of us and she was the most gentle and tender too, guys would always see her as a cute little sister and they never thought seriously of her ..  She was the one to notice Eric first , but she never spoke to him at the time , and he never looked at her or even noticed her existence at all .. maybe that was due to the extreemly big  height difference between the two of them , but they still got married .. Kate and I were always joking about whenever her tiny figure would ever be enough to satisfy him or not and Jane would always get angry ..

Well , that was a general idea about how we lived our freshman year in High school and as you can  see dear reader , it was an interesting time and I bet that you too had some interesting time during your high school years .. So now , here comes the details ..

I don’t remember if I said whever we were popular or not , but let me make sure that we weren’t .. We did know a lot of people , and many people knew us , but we were never really popular .. Eric was the kind of popular , unreachable untouchable guy , and speaking to him was the dream of each girl in our school but almost none of hem managed to do that as I remember , but I did .. Somehow ..

One day , in December during the lunch break  .. Kate and Jane left me for some reason  ,  and I was freaking out , looking for them all over the school , for some reason too , until I crashed into some guy and  fell on the ground ..I started crying , not because I was hurt but because I was depressed ,  and I needed Those two girls badly to comfort me  but they weren’t there for me .. and so I started crying , just like a little baby while I was hearing this distant voice calling me with a freaking out tone : 

  -“ Hey , are you okay ? … Why are you crying ? .. are you hurt somewhere ? .. please answer me … hey , can you hear me ?.. please answer me..”

I don’t know what I was thinking back then , but I didn’t even lift my head to see who was speaking to me .. It was a gentle voice that I heard for the first time and I was wondering who it was but I continued crying , without thinking of how embarrassing it was for me to sit in the middle of the courtyard and cry with my hands covering my face ,as  I was unconsciously repeating these words :

“ how can you do this to me ?..why you..? get away from me I hate you..”

But that gentle scared voice continued talking to me , and it seems like that person didn’t hear a single word that I said :

“ Did you say something ?.. can you stand up ? give me your hand ..! “

I just continued saying those words , and I don’t know how I ended up after that in the infirmary ..it was past three o-clock when I woke up .. I jumped out of the bed , looking around hoping to find anyone that I know , but I didn’t .. so I went back and sat on the bed with my head down  until I heard the same voice I heard before whispering in my ear “ so you woke up after all , you scared the hell out of me girl.. “ I looked behind me and there was a familiar smiling face .. I just turned off my head while some strange thoughts started passing through my mind , and then I turned and took another look at that face and it seemed like my strange thoughts weren’t that strange after all cause they made sens ..I stood up , took my bag without saying a word .. collected my stuff and arranged my messy hair  and when I was ready to go out when that voice said “ hey .. can't you speak ? huh ?..”

I still didn’t say a word and got out running to join my class , while a thousand thoughts were running through my mind , I was like : “that sure isn’t true , maybe I got hit on my head and so I started imagining things .. you fool .. did you think that , that actually could happen to you ? Forget about it and just go to class.. Okay , don’t think of it anymore it is just your imagination , and so I joined my class .
