94. My Wierd side

 The temperature is so that it feels like I am in a freezer.  Man, I hope the bus arrives soon. Even my hands are cold. I should have bought my gloves. For now, I will just rub my hands together. 

" What are you doing?", Sam.

Man, he started me.

" Where is your cycle? Why don't you use it anymore?", I ask.

"I wanted to ride in a bus. It is so cold. I think our planet is turning into Pluto.", Sam.

" What a nerdy thing to say! By the way, Pluto is not a planet...", I say.

"I know but our earth is a planet .", Sam.

" Yeah, so it can't turn into Pluto because Pluto is not a planet. ", I say.

" Now, who is the real nerd? You are discussing something an imaginary situation. But refusing to ignore small scientific detail.", Sam.

" In science, you have to stick to the rules...", I reasoned.

" No, when quantum mechanics was developed it defied all classical laws, nevertheless, science revolutionised human society for the better. So, I don't think in this world you have to stick by the rules... To start something new and extraordinary you have to imagine while living in a real world...", he explains.

 " You are right, but thinking out of the box is not reasonable. If you want to live you have to be practical and logical. Living in imagination doesn't solve everything...", I argue

" You are right...", he agrees with a sigh.

That is new I didn't think he will ever agree with me. He looks sad.

 It is amazing how I can sense his sadness. I can't even understand my mother's emotions.

" Are you alright now?- ", before I could say anything bus arrived and we had to ride it.

Man bus is especially crowded today. Even though I am squished between two women. It is so awkward, especially for someone like me who is allergic to human interactions. I should try to turn a little. I am unable to do that...I think the bus is crowded because of the cold weather. Most of the people in our country don't have cars even if they do, they prefer to use public transport or cycles for environmental conservation.

AFTER A WHILE:

Finally, we are at the school. Sam is walking behind me. I hope we aren't late.  Wait a minute, I wanted to talk to Sam.

" Sam I wanted to say that if you need me I will be there for you.", I say while turning towards Sam.

Why did I say that it was so cheeky? He looks baffled. I think he is going to make fun of me. I am an idiot.

" Why are you being so nice...?", He asks suspiciously.

" Just because ... ", I say and ran away.

Phew, that was so awkward. I will avoid talking to him for now.

AFTER A WHILE:

  Thankfully this year we are all sitting in separate chairs instead of sitting next to some other student whether we like it or not.

  English period is over, now it's Physics then it will be Maths...We have two classes in Chemistry. I think they are also going to, add quantum Mechanics in Physics. The Principal said that we will soon have two classes in Physics as well. Man, it is tiring. I want to go home. I think I won't have any social life for a while now. Then again I didn't have any in the first place.

" Myra, Myra...", Rubina.

" Oh, hey...", I say.

 I don't want to talk right now I am feeling depressed about my studies.

" I am sorry if I offended you yesterday. It's just that I hate humans so much but you are the first who I don't find irritating.", Rubina.

" Alright, cool...", I say.

I also hate people but I don't find them that irritating now. I think they are somehow more tolerable than before. Should I tell her, these things? But I don't know anything about her. What if she makes fun of me? Or she is just talking to me because my dad is rich? Yeah, it is probably better not to get too close to her. I don't want to think about another person in my life.

AFTER TWO HOURS :

   I have completed my car model. And all those simulations look great. I think I will show them to my dad. I feel good about this. If it is successful I think I will get into a university on a scholarship though I doubt that is fair for kids who need that scholarship.

" Myra, can you help me with this problem? ", Rubina asks. I forgot that I was in the Maths class.

" Yeah I can but I think you should ask the teacher. I don't want to take risks after what happened yesterday. ", I say.

 " I thought you used to be rebellious. Didn't they call you something cool because of that...?", Rubina.

" Yeah, that was a long time ago. I also used to break all machines in my...Wait a minute, how do you know so many things about me ?" I ask suspiciously.

" I think almost everybody knows about you. You are a weird girl. You know that...?", Rubina.

I don't believe her. Nobody notices me. Why would anyone know about me? I don't think high schoolers care so much about others. Yeah, Sam knows a lot about me because he is a creepy writer and I know about him because ... I guess we always end up being in weird situations ...I don't care why I know so much about him. That reminds I hope he is okay I kind of runway from him this morning. He might think that I am weird. No, he already does so it doesn't matter...

" Myra, Myra? I have been calling you ...", Teacher.

" Yes, Ma'am...", I say.

" I have been calling you for a while now. You are lost in your thought and that is not a good thing. This is a classroom not home...Anyway, help Rubina to solve this problem. ", she says as she walks in front of the class.

I swear I didn't see her walking towards me. What is wrong with me? I am not even drugged.
