The usual am in an isolated place far from the noise, judgmental eyes, whispers- basically People!!!

You should know by now I hate People😒
this was my heaven, seating up here was the best feeling ever

Yunno the Music, Drink, food, 🚬
Keeps me going
Fuck it you won't like the kind of music I listen to 😒
Not your regular happy tones

My circle now is extremely small, it's not even a circle anymore. it's a dot .

Not a joke, not funny😕

I could skip school, I did that the first months Melvin died, then I was reported to my parents, now that option is impossible

Nosy teachers😒

Am high on my energy right now, it seems like no one and nothing really mattered to me

Well they don't
Just like I didn't matter to any of them😞

Lonely and a quiet place, today am In the basketball court

They was no game or practice, no one was going to come down here

I didn't have class, till the next period

My best feeling!

I just sat on one of the chairs in the court, my headset plug in, and I was looking into space

What am I thinking! Absolutely nothing, my damn mind is free like a balloon, don't get bored of me, life is boring

Finesse, Die Alone caught me deep never like before, since all I have gone through just reflected to his lyrics

...Minutes passed, I started to hear sniffs

That has to be loud, cause I can hear it even with the musics playing
And is really disturbing my peace😒

I turned to look for who it was was, turning my head around

Not like I was going to stop the person, just wanted to see who was broken like I was

I couldn't see anybody

I don't care who the person is, cry it out, it helps

The sniffs continued

Like they say "is okay not to be okay,
but is not okay to keep disturbing me!!!"
You better find another person to disturb😒

I increased the volume of my headphone and Hummed to the music playing

1:05PM

I should better be going back to class now

My Free time is over, got all my shit together, took off my headphone, put in the rest of the fries in my bag, wore my 424 baseball cap, got out my perfume and spray like I should just bath it

Didn't want to smell like i had a smoke, next was a twenty minutes biology test, gosh am really not ready for that

Not like I enjoyed seating in the class and trying remembering what enzymes could do and not do, have tried the option of skipping tests, worst you get to write the test all alone, with the teacher looking and smiling at you every seconds go by, you get reported to your parents you missed a test for no reasonable reason

So the latter is better

I stood up from the chair, carried my bag, leaving the play area to class, I walked passed the chairs, heading almost very quickly for the exit door

I hate to say it, but I don't want to be late again, and being the center of attraction when I walk in, No no no, I don't want any of that today

I got out from the basketball court, the corridor I loved to seat was empty, i almost started jogging heading for my class, then I saw someone was on my spot

Hey only me seat up there

"You" I said with much attitude totally forgetting the test
"Me?" The boy pointed to himself and looked away like I wasn't even talking to him

Thought it was a girl crying😒
it probably might be a girl, she gone by now, he came all this way to break up with her maybe, he looks like a tough jerk that could do such.

"Nobody seats there" I said

He hasn't heard of me, so sad 🤧

"I can seat wherever, you not going to stop me"

My subconscious just want to grab a popcorn, get a chair and imagine a life of being a normal girl to anybody

"Fine" I said, and turned on my heels, to walk away

Likkkeeee i had no time for this bullshit

"Hey" he called to me

Take me back to the years when I was bullied😫

I turned around, he jumped down

Wait his gonna punch me, good thing i have me my knife

"What" I said
"You dropped this" he crouched to pick up something, and raised it up to me

What was I thinkinngg😳
My cigarettes box

"You know what could happen if a teacher caught you with this do you?" He said holding it up to me

No one talked to me this way in years, I could just forcefully take my smoke box and walk away, but I was enjoying his presence and scolding
And why is that? 😐

"Don't let it repeat itself again dawg" he say softly, looking at me

blue pupils Owww 🤭
His eyes looked bulgy and red like he was crying, he clearly isn't a tough jerk

" I Wouldn't next time" I said
"Kay" he smirked revealing his dimples, he handed the box to me, there was something about him I didn't understand and couldn't place, the way he spoke, and acted calm-

"Thank you"

Didn't know when that came out🤭haven't said it in months

"Anytime" he responded, and turned to go back to his seating position

"You want to try it?"
"What?" He scoffed "I rather not, try it in school"
"Well it is rather good to try it in school" I took one out, got my lighter, gave out a large puff, and handed the stick to him
"Thank you as a gift consider it payed" I stretched out the burning cigarette

Feel like am enjoying my self😏

He was looking at the "No Smoking" sign behind me, I just acted like I didn't know it was there before now
"My bad, a gift rejected, that's-
"Let me have it" he stretched out his hands and took it, sucked in and released a puff, we both laughed

Laughter?
Tell me about

I literally just took off the biology test from my head, he climbed up the cabinet again, I joined him, he helped me up

Not been treated like a lady for some while

We continued taking puff after puffs, and talking about randomly stuffs like a series we both seen

We laughed, after he said Kelvin Hart would be a better actor for the "Flat" series

Silence

"This should be hey at first smoke" he said and we laughed again, he started coughing, like real hard

I hope i don't be the one to kill him

"Am fine, am Fine" He smiled, and I returned his smile

Good

"I actually thought you don't smoke"
"What?, I do"
"You don't have a class now?" I asked

I was beginning to worry, was seating up here with a stranger really worth it?

"No I don't, how about you?"
"I don't also" I said gulping, and handing the cigarettes to him again
"How many of those do you have?" He pointed to my wrist
"This and a little patch on my upper chest" I said

Why was I telling this guy what doesn't really concerns him

"Was it painful?" he gave me back the cigarettes
"Not really, just like bee stings"

Tattoos are painful keep off from it,😫 I just had my brother initials on my wrist, there is nothing on my upper chest, lies just to look tough yunno

"Do you have any"
"What? No I don't"

Why would I want to act tough when his not even playing the game

"Ohh, you look tough like you could endure bee stings" I use my hands to press the remaining cigarette to the cabinet we were seating on
"Didn't know any better" he curved his lips "Am Jack" he stretched out his hands
"Am Derby" I shook his hands
"Nice meeting you Derby" he said still holding my hands in his grip

I returned his smile, probably fake smile, cause he looks like he been crying

Should I ask him if everything was okay? I didn't want to be an intruder Or let's just keep on the energy of nothing else really matters- even the teachers

... we kept talking, well without smoking, when the bell went for school over we said good bye

"Really nice talking to you derby, those are my unpopular opinions about those fucking series" he said smiling
"And you too, Jack" I jumped down from the cabinet "Enjoyed myself listening"

Yeah I really did

I walked away
