My Life

I wonder sometimes how many times will a person save you? Once, twice or forever? Or never?

Will was standing in front of our class. I saw him and heard them screaming my name. I thought I should walk past him and run and so I was going to do.

As I walked past him, I could feel my heart thump in my chest, my mind was 'Don't do anything, don't do anything!' But I silently was going to walk away.

"Samantha!" He yelled. I froze in place. I took a deep breath in and deep breath out. I looked back at him and he was looking at them.

He looked at them and then at me. "Wait for me." He said and came near me. They are gonna say something, they are gonna say something, my mind kept telling me.

They stopped there and was walking past me when Mia looked back, "Enjoy while it lasts Will, you're reputation will go downhill as long as you're going to stay with her."

Downhill huh? My life went downhill when I first befriended you all. I didn't say anything, I just stood there with him standing beside me.

He didn't say anything and I didn't too. I was going to walk away but he spoke up, "I'm sorry, I mean I'd guess you'd hope me to say something to them but I didn't. I'm sorry."

Why are you saying sorry? That was my first thought. Yeah, why is he saying sorry? He had to listen to all the bullshit they had to speak.

"No, no why'd you say sorry? I'm sorry on behalf of the way they reacted." I sighed and looked at him. "I will be going now. Do you need anything from me though?"

He was fidgeting with his fingers and tapping his feet. Did something happen? I don't know. "So I was thinking if I could walk you home?" Wait, woah, hold up. How's he going ahead of everything?

"I mean I'm sorry I don't wanna pressure you but well I want to so? Want to?" I was just standing there. I knew if I said yes, there'd be a lot of things, a lot of talks.

"Yes, yeah sure why not?" I don't know why I said yes, but if it's for a day? What'll happen? It won't be that bad right? So let's go.

Sometimes you gotta do what you want to. I think I'm not ready yet but I'm trying. We were walking in my home's direction. I don't know where his house is though.

"You know I wasn't like this. Like the way I am now, super popular and blah blah." I looked at him with surprise when he said this. He? Not super popular always?

"Really? Then how were you like?" I asked him, curiosity got the better of me. "Shy, super shy and an introvert." I laughed a bit.

He looked at me and smiled. "Hey don't be like this, it hurts my feelings." Seeing him talk like this with puppy dog eyes I laughed out loud.

"Sorry, sorry it's just the way you're saying." I couldn't stop laughing. He laughed out too. Then he stopped but I didn't I was still in that moment.

"I'm sorry about today, I mean you saw some of my vulnerable side." 'vulnerable' huh? His vulnerable side? Did something happen to him?

"What happened?" I asked him he looked at me so I quickly said, "I mean only if you want to." He looked down and smiled. He was sad. What happened with him?

"I lost someone, someone very dear to me. Because of my selfishness." He clenched his fists. I wanted to comfort him, why? I don't know. I just can't see someone being hurt.

I put my hand on his shoulder. "Hey it's okay Will. I mean I don't know what happened but it's okay." He was on the verge of crying.

He sighed. "Yeah, I hope she's happy seeing how am I." He sighed again, a deep long sigh. She? His girlfriend? Oh wait mother? Sister? I don't know.

I kept quite because I didn't know what to say. "Ah I made the conversation sad." He sighed and laughed. "No, no. You can tell me if anything happened."

He smiled and then looked at me. "Well after your exam finishes let's go grab a cup of coffee again?" First of all I needed to know what happened and then there's coffee.

"Yes." I said because I was really curious about what happened. "Ahh I talked the whole way. I didn't get to ask you about anything." I laughed.

We were near our house. "Where's your home by the way?" I asked him. He looked at me like I asked something I shouldn't have. Then he laughed. "Opposite way from here?"

He said that and laughed. I knew it. "Ahh then why did you bother walking with me?" Now I felt bad, he needs to walk back again. "Hey hey don't feel bad, I wanted this remember?"

He smiled at me, "Thank you. For walking with me." He was, his heart was warm. It's nice. "Yeah. Anytime. You should going now."

He walked back few steps and turned back and waved me bye. He was still smiling.

I came home thinking about him. Ahh I should stop thinking about him so much. I washed up and ate something. I have extra classes of Mr Murchison.

I ate and laid down on my bed looking at the ceiling. How can someone be so warm? I mean he has all the rights to be the mean, bad boy. But, he's so nice.

I kept on thinking about him and then it was time for classes. I got ready and went to the class with earphones in my ear.

Not many vehicles pass by here in the afternoon. I walked to the classes and saw Mr Murchison already there.

"Hello Mr Murchison." I said with a smile. He also smiled looking at me. "You're really happy Samantha." He replied but didn't ask me why.

I'm glad he didn't because if he did ask me I wouldn't know what to reply. I sat down and pulled out my books.

"I didn't ask why you are so happy but Samantha you should stay out of boy problems for some months." Mr Murchison said. I knew it was for my good.

But boy problems huh? Will it ever leave me? And I don't know why boy problem? I, myself might be a problem.

I heard them coming so I pulled out my earphones and put them in my ears. They all entered and gave me a look. I didn't bother looking at them.

They sat down and the class started normally. I didn't play any songs to see if they tell him about what happened but they actually didn't. I was shocked, kind of.

The class ended and I came down first as usual. Because they didn't tell anything in the class u thought they wouldn't tell me too.

But I was wrong, so wrong. Is as wrong that I didn't left that place earlier. They came down and I only walked a few steps. They ran towards me.

Talia came and grabbed my shoulders and pulled me. I was going to fall down but I didn't thank gosh. I steadied myself and looked at them.

"So now you come home with Will huh?" Huh? I come home with whoever I want. "Yeah, so what's the big deal Talia? What do you want?"

"We want you to leave him alone?" Mia said. "Why? Why should I?" Yeah why should I? I mean it's my life. "Listen Samantha, it'll get worse so leave him alone."

I don't know what can go wrong. I mean what could go wrong anymore? Him hating on me? Yeah so what's the big deal?

"Listen you guys, it's my life I'll take all decisions regarding my life." I told them this and left that place as soon as I could.
