It just felt right because It was unnecessary drama.

March 31st (6)

Of course, I would be oozing out bloodlust.

I starting to think my choices of guys are either toxic or idiots with no respect for introverted humans. Well to my dismay I became friends because I thought it couldn't hurt to have a friend and to agree with the fact, that my hormones wanted to be high and go spiralling all the way.

In a way, I have a toxic personality myself. I just hate myself.

It was fun, for 3 decent months, they were friends who turned into lovers after a classmate queried Mark.

'Are you dating Miranda, you guys are always close to each other?'

And Mark answered 'Yes...yes we are.'

Miranda was slightly weirded out by his reply but she thought he was playing as when he was with her. Anyhow for reassurance, she asked me to query Mark a question on the way back home. He was on the run to his sister's car which was waiting for him. She was doing her senior year at a local University. She came to pick her brother up. I asked Mark.

'Mark do you like Miranda sexually as not how you like your friend generally?'
Well, there is also a friend with benefits, a moron being sexually attracted to a friend and they end up having sex.13 years old Mark didn't know about friends with benefits and didn't need to know about but he soon learned about it anyway.

I didn't hear Mark reply, it was a muffled one. But he was smiling with a blush creeping up his neck and the tips of his ears were also red. He looked happy.
It was a quick moment before he opened the door and slammed himself into the front passenger seat and shut the door.

His sister yelled at him for slamming the car door.

We had the first semester exams of the semester. Mark and I stayed in the 3rd class and Miranda she dropped to the 4th class. Mark wanted me to drop to the 4th class instead of Miranda but fate doesn't always give us what we want because it knows, we are babies learning to live and giving us a bomb just because we asked for it is beyond insanity, it a freaking suicide mission and fate already know we are not 'Suicide squad'.

The last day of the 3rd month, a prior day for pranks the infamous April Fool's day and also my mother's birthday.

31st of March, Mark decided to do something out of the blue. It still traumatized Miranda to this day. Mark still hasn't owned up to his act.

It was 2 classes before recess. Mark came up to Miranda's class, he wanted to talk to Miranda. He asked her to come out to the corridor. He was acting rather silent. He was a loud one, his shriek could be mistaken identity as the shriek of a young female. His voice was rather soft like a female. Well, he wasn't going to puberty. He didn't have a deep and husky voice. He went through it a year late, I guess.

Miranda came and he releases a string of scolding and insults.

'Why are you so clingy to me?'
'What's wrong with you in the head?'
'Stop being a pain in the head.'
'It tiring being with you.'
'You are not mature.'

It when long until Miranda reached her point. She broke down mentally and screamed as tears rolled down her cheeks.

'FINE...JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.'

She ran back into her class.

Mark was shocked, he dropped his head down and mumbled. He didn't expect his plan to backfire on him. His motive was to pull a prank that could be dissolved the next day but it broke everything apart. Seeing her cry, somehow ruined his mood for a whole day at school.

'I a-a-am-m-m so-sorry-y.'He mumbled as he headed back into his class.

I was drying myself out in the corridor. It was cold in the class. Little did I know I would watch the chaos unfold. Some kids came out of their class to the corridor to behold the commotion. Some heard the yells from their class. It spread like wildfire. From 5 classes, 12 classes came to know.

Mark called for me thinking I was in the class more likely sleeping. It was a self-study period. I am a dead sleeper.
I head back to class, standing at my desk, I asked Mark what he needed from me. He walked up to my desk and slammed both of his hands on the desk creating another commotion.

'Oh, you were outside then it simple. You either be friends with me or Miranda.'

'Fine, I choose you.'
Let's see how far can mess lead go.
I didn't think much. All I thought was I wanted to be a curious kitten. I wanted to see how messy this mess could be before I could turn away from it.

Some kids thought the teachers would have come. They would have loved to see the golden boy of Winter Abyss High be in trouble. Lucky for them teachers did not appear. Everybody became eerie silent after the commotion. All kids that were drying themselves in the corridor went back to their classes.

Recess came, and Miranda waited for me out in the corridor of my classroom. Lia, my best friend from the age of 8, told Miranda to go to recess on her own and that I would no longer want to associate with her.

Miranda stomped to the canteen heartbroken and angry. She lost her appetite. She was hungry but she wasn't in the mood. All eyes were on her as soon as she entered the canteen. She settled at the table with her Chinese language club friends who also happened to be schoolmates and friends from her elementary school.

They noticed her red swollen face. She must have been crying after the chaos till recess. They questioned her despite knowing the wildfire rumours that they just heard were true with the sight of Miranda but yet they questioned her in the hope she would speak out. They forced to her eat but she bluntly refused them.

Mark and his friends were seated at 3 tables in front of the girls. Mark was laughing at something Ray made a joke of but he had his eye on Miranda.
