Fest Day 2

I put my earphones on again and tried to forget everything with the music. But it just doesn't happen.

I cannot push the thought out of my mind about what he said. It just doesn't go out. Why did I even bother listening to him. I don't understand.

I tried humming the songs to not think about it.

"How could you lie

When you first said you love me

How could you lie

When you held my hands

How could you lie

When I cried holding you."

Yeah now my mind drifted to him, Miles. Yeah why does everything has some meaning? Like why isn't there anything which doesn't have any meaning?

This song, it ties me to him, his lies. I don't like it. If I need to forget about something I need to think about something else.

But where's the good memory that I can go to when I need it think about something else? Why's it all this memories that makes me cry?

I was so lost in thought that I didn't see Ray standing beside me. "Hey what are you doing?" He said to me, which I didn't listen because I was so trying to focus on the music.

"HEY SAMANTHA!" I pulled out both of the earphones as shock and saw him standing beside me. He literally shouted as if his life depends on it.

"Hey hey. You didn't need to shout!" I said, my heart was still beating so fast. "Yeah says the one who didn't listen to me the first time!" He sat down.

"You know Ray. That guy, Will, our senior. He's the one who said he liked me and wants to know me better." I told him, with a lowered voice.

"He?" "Yes, he!" He paused for a second. "Wait wait wait! William Roberts?" "Who the heck is William Roberts?" I didn't know his full name.

"Bro! All the girls from our class has a crush on him! He's like the high school heartthrob, people likes to call him that!" His voice was filled with excitement and well nervous.

"I didn't know him and that he was so special. What's so special about him though?" I looked at him and at Ray.

His eyes are now questioning me. "Wait? So you were so preoccupied with your own thoughts you didn't give a damn about the world?"

I nodded because that's what I've been doing, not giving a damn about what's going on out there.

"He's the best athlete and well also good looking." I looked at him. Athletic? Yeah kinda. Good looking? I don't know.

"Well nevermind about that then." He said again. "What are you listening to?" He asked. "Well some songs you won't like." I said and put the earphones back in my bag.

"Why do you always listen to sad songs? Like come on! If you're sad listen to something a bit happy?" He put his hand on my shoulder and smiled at me.

Maybe I should, but these songs give me comfort, somehow. I shrugged his hand off. "Well I don't know, I like it that's why?"

He sighed. The bus came and we got in. Stephan is late today, ugh, that boy.

After 10 minutes he came and sat beside Ray as usual and he was in his funky mood. "Hey dumbasses. Missed me?" He said.

Ahh. How does he always stays in a good mood? Like what does he have in the morning triple shots of espresso?

"Ugh! You're so loud in the early morning Stephan." I turned my back on them and said from my seat. He said, quickly, "Well nobody is depressed like you so yeah!"

I turned back and gave him a look. Ray was just sitting there and laughing. I looked at him and laughed a bit.

"So what events do you guys have today?" I asked them. "I don't know I have four and Stephan has 3 I guess?" Ray replied to me.

I was shocked and looked at them like wtf! "I thought you guys weren't serious and you guys are in most of the events!" I just turned around and walked towards the sitting place.

I didn't have anything till 10am. And it was only 9am. Ugh! I sighed.

"Bye Sammy Sam!" Stephan shouted and ran off. This boy, huh. I opened a notebook to see if I can write anything or just do anything.

Will came and sat beside me. I noticed Will wasn't taking part in any events. Well maybe he's here because he's the big shot?

I pulled my phone and earphones out and played some music and was scribbling the lyrics on a page. He was silent so I didn't even say anything.

Then a notification came. I didn't open my phone because thousands of notifications come daily. So I just kept on listening and scribbling.

Then I took my phone in my hand to change the song. Someone followed me on MInstagram was my first reaction because nobody follows me.

Hmmm, @hello_hell__ . Who is he? He doesn't even have a name. I browsed his profile and it was just books, sceneries and well some shadow selfie or something like that.

I put the phone down and he said. "So you are not even gonna follow me?" He was laughing. Wait, the high school heartthrob has only 200 followers?

"It's your account?" I asked him with a very very very doubtful look. "Well yeah, it's just for the people who are closer to me. I have another one too."

Yeah as expected. He'd have thousands of followers in his main account. I didn't ask but the phone buzzed again and I picked it up.

/@william.roberts followed you/

He has like 2500 followers. Wtf. That's so many. But I was curious how he found my id. "How'd you find me?" The curiosity got the better of me.

"I don't know, fate brought me to you?" He said that and laughed on his own. "Too cheesy?" I laughed and said, "Yeah, very."

His friend called for him and he went away. "So goodbye for now then?" He just said and went away.

I completed my events and it was noon and we all met up together. We don't have anything today too so after lunch we all came to school.

"Hey Ray? I have something to tell you. Come to school early tomorrow!" And ran away.

The walk from school to home was full of thoughts, what would happen? Will he approach me at school? People, no girls would get jealous, specially those three.

I kept on thinking and thinking until I reached home.
