99. Marriage is complicated

   I checked the competition about which Sam informed me. It is a grand project. Many million dollars are invested in this competition. Dad also sent me names of some innovators.

  There is one name which coincides with Dad's list and the competition about which Sam informed me. It is the name of a woman, Seirra Fowler. She is very famous because of her innovations. I want to meet that woman.

" Miss Myra, you are late for school.", Miss Maria.

" Yeah,  I just have to leave.", I say.

" Great.", Miss Maria.

Today I decide to go to school by a car. It feels so convenient to go to school like this. Oh I know this driver. I usually see him with Dad. Since I am trying to be better person I have to ask his name, right? Yeah, it is polite to ask his name.

" Excuse me...What is your name?", I ask him.

" My name is Mike.", He says while smiling. Wrinkles around his  eyes become more prominent when he smiles.

" Great...", I answer.

----+++++-----

   I am at school. I arrived early. No one is here right now. Everything around here is quiet and eerily calm. I should have travelled by bus... I should just move around for a while... Where is that parking lot? It is around there.

   AFTER SOMETIME:

Oh, a car has arrived. It is Lily and Sam. That is weird, Sam never travels with other person. Oh, Lily has come out of her car. I should ask her.

" Lily, why is Sam in your car today?", I ask.

" He is living at my house for personal reasons.", she says.

Sam comes out of his car. He looks tired. He is looks so weak. I wonder what happened to him.

" Sam, are you okay?", I ask.

" I thought you didn't want to talk to me.", Sam.

" I am sorry if I hurt your feelings... I didn't mean to hurt you at all." I say.

" Its okay...  My parents are finally getting a divorce. When they were together I always prayed for them to get separated. But now that they are actually divorcing I feel anxious...I just didn't know it will hurt so much...", Sam.

" I am sorry Sam. I don't know how to console you...", I say.

" I think I should leave you two alone.", Lily.

She didn't have to do that...

" Honestly, I am afraid of marriage and relationships. I just don't think that I will be able to spend all my life with one single person. It is already too much for me. I don't understand why people want to live with each other if they have to fight and taunt each other for rest of their lives.", I say.

" Because when they marry each other they believe that they can be together forever. After all they are in love...", Sam.

" I thought you didn't like marriages...", I say.

" I don't dislike marriages. I just think that it  takes a lot of patience, sacrifice, and understanding.", Sam.

" But you still want to do it...", I say.

" Yeah, sure... If it is with someone like you...Why not?", He says with a smile.

" You are doing it on purpose, aren't you? Forget it,  I don't to talk to you...", I say and try to leave but he stands before me like an idiot.

" Why do you act like this?  Especially, when I ask you to marry me.", Sam chuckles.

" Sam, first of all, we are both in high school. Secondly, you are two years younger than me. Do you want to put me in jail?", I say.

He begins  to laugh out of nowhere like always. I hate this boy.

----++++----+++-----++++++------

IN THE CLASSROOM:

" When you open a door, you can easily notice how torque changes with changing length from its  central point...", teacher. Suddenly a strange smell fills our classroom.

" What is this?", the teacher.

Man, the smell is awful. It's like the rotten smell of an egg.

" Ok, enough is enough...All of you get up. ", teacher.

Wow, now I can   see how dramatic high schoolers can get.

" But Ma'am I didn't do anything. I swear I was just doing at my  book.", some kid.

She ignores him and inspects  our bags one by one. I hate this woman.

She starts to inspect my bag after a while.

" What is this? Don't you ever clean your bag?", she asks me then moves to check other student's bag.

" Why did you do it?", someone mumbles behind me.

" Relax, she is not going to catch us ...I already threw it out of the window...", someone else whispers.

It is probably Dan and his friend. I just don't understand their immaturity and stupidity.

" Why can't I find anything? Come on, tell me who did it?", the teacher.

I can tell her who did it but... I don't want to. I don't care. It is just some childish prank.

" You are all wasting your own time. Fine, see you all in red room ", she says.

Man, I don't want to. I don't have time for this nonsense.

" Ma'am you can check cameras to find out who did it. ", I suggest.

" You are right. Ok, I am checking cameras but believe me once I find out who did this that person is dead for good.",  she says.

----+++++------

Finally, I am home. I should check if the Seirra Fowler has replied to my e-mail. Oh my God, she has. I am going to meet her tomorrow after school. Wow, I feel so good. Now I should prepare my presentation to convince her.

AFTER A WHILE:

I am almost done but I am so hungry that I can eat a person alive.

" Miss Myra here is your food...I brought it here because I know you are busy. ", Miss Maria.

" Thanks...", I say.

I hear some shouts from Mom and Dad's room.

" What are those noises?", I ask Miss Maria.
