As I was about to leave for the day, my mind raced back to the highlight of the day, the "extra period", which will be held tomorrow, I will be lying if I said that I was not interested even a little bit because I was indeed.
[ Extra period, I wonder what that will be about precisely]
Scratching my head, I thought, Mrs.Waletz did tell us that a gentleman will visit us tomorrow and narrate us old legends, but, what will those legends comprise of, I can't wait to unravel this mystery, but, on the otherhand, just like me there will be others who will join for the same reason and I will have to endure the social prison for a period of time beyond my usual hours. We can call it, I'll be doing overtime tomorrow. The prize for overtime will be gaining unique knowledge and the price will be an extra period of social prison. I want to bury my face in games and comics as much as the next guy, but, the allure of an opportunity to gain unique knowledge is irresistible. Well, I guess I'll have to figure out what I'll do when I reach my room and think with a relaxed mind, because right now, calling my mind a chaotic storm will be an understatement.
[May be I'll do a coin flip, just go, the Harvey Dent Route]
I rushed to my locker to get my belongings like my bag, shoes etc. then I walked down the parking area to get my bike, I unlocked the chain lock on the back tyre of my bike. As I was trying to make my exit without anyone noticing. The universe heard me and replied back with a nasty comment.
"Hey, Charlie Boy"
My luck must have ran out, otherwise, why would this Dingus be approaching me with a face, which is signaling deep seethed anger under a mask of fake smile.
"Yeah, Mason, you need anything"
"No, I don't need anything, on the contrary, I'm here to give you something"
"Give me something" I contorted my face and if this was any video game scene, a "?" mark would appear on the top of my head.
"And what would you… be… giv…. giving me" I gulped down and fumbled while completing this reply.
"Well, I'm here to give you advice"
"What kind of advice, Mason?" I straightened my back as if to look courageous.
"I saw Verona chatting you up, as you already know a popular girl like her belongs with me not some background character like you"
If I said I was not angry at his remark I'd be lying but deep down I knew what he said was not completely wrong. Mason Williams is the Star Basketball Player of our academy, he is tall, muscular and has a typical athlete build. If Verona dated Mason, I'm sure they would top the chart of power couple dynamics in our class, but, in that moment my ego was bruised and I'd feel the repercussions of what I was about to say that night.
"Well, it was not like, I was chasing her, may be she found me easy to talk to"
"Charlie The Doofus thinks Verona would choose him over other guys, who are a lot better than him…..What is it?…A SitCom?…We are living in?"
"No, I'm saying may be you ain't as popular with the gals as you think you are, buddy"
"Well, I initially came here to just give you advice but I think only advice will not do"
