"The Past Must Never Look Back"
My art was depicted and considered by others beyond comparison which outrageously becomes overrated and I gradually became quite popular as time goes by. That instead I gain more praise, I gained more critics, well it's not bad as it is getting out of hand as it was thought with the things they throw though. I do arts because of money so that I have something to provide for us. Well, what else is there to disapprove of the idea that money runs everything, and sometimes controls us, not the way we control it? This is the beginning of the past and how it'll end and turn into a sudden future I didn't picture beforehand.
While I was walking into my school, taking the time and didn't mind it ticking and have passed, while an earphone was in my ears and I'm holding my bag, I can see from afar that Melinda is wavy her hands at the front of the school, waiting for me to reach where she is right now. Because of my dilly-dally, she decided to be the one to reach me and cling to my shoulder. I can hear her clearly even the burst of the bass in my ears would literally destroy my eardrums at the moment. Well, it's what I want, to be deafened by the music I loved to hear instead of being deafened by the shoutings of my parents' quarrel I could hear all day long.
"What's the long face early in the morning? Didn't get enough sleep again?" Melinda said as he jumpily snugs against me which cause me to stumble a little.
"N-no...It's just, I don't feel like doing anything at all at the moment, makes me wanna skip some class" I said as we synced walk to the corner of the school street as I take off my earphone on the left side.
"You laid-back nutjob!! Haven't you counted the times you skip classes? Do you want to get kicked and get dropped out?" complain claimed Melinda as she exclaimed and hit my shoulders lightly.
Yeah. Right, I forgot to count it for it to be countless. My professor almost gives me up on a subject for having terrible grades that can ruin her name and ability as a teacher. No wonder they are that eager. It'll bring shame for them, rather, to us. How veined and consider one-sided. Whatever. I am to blame also. Just this nonchalant demeanor kicked in.
"Whatever. I'll just get along with you." I said as I put my earphones back and Melinda left a pout face before she snugs at my arms again. I was indeed restless on consecutive days.

About an hour has passed and our professor wonders if I'm an early bird this time. All I can look back was staring at the window while didn't mind paying attention to the lesson and my mind wander off somewhere again. The attention was put on me by the professor who called me out. Heaven's sake. He would definitely make me answer that thing on the board.
"Shit" I scowled, of course, I wouldn't say it out loud, or everything will turn out messed up for am to get more screwed as I am in this situation right now.
"Madden? Would you mind knowing the answer to this?" The professor said as he tap the board with her marker.
"I'm sorry for there is to be incoherent for me, please state it once again," I respond as I hiddenly bit my lower lip and was fidgety. Can I get through this? Their eyes were all over me.
"Do you think mass is a characteristic property?" inquired her.
My ego went up, why would a question that makes sense would be asked and they need to delay by questioning us to whom the answer is evidently located in the textbook?
"No," I replied confidently.
"Why is it," it replied once again. Can't he just let it off and consider it?!
I sighed deeply before I answered: " Given density used both volume and mass in the calculation, therefore density shall be considered to be one of the characteristics and mass doesn't belong, the characteristic property possesses identification that can elaborately clarify into the substance which is how and what it is correlated to the key ideas of a matter."
Can I sit down for heaven's sake?!
"Very well. I thought you'll let that primary schooler question got drag you down for being indecent if you can't answer it." The professor let out a scoff, which gets on my nerves, fuck this agnostic, and my so "sir you're right" classmates laughed at me, if I can just yeet them out of my sight. I'll do so.
Without his dismissal, I immediately take a sit.
The class hell ended and Melinda reached me out again. It's 30 minutes break recess.
"Hey! You were great that time huh!!" She said and tapped my shoulders.
"It's a standardized and bare minimum, even if I haven't answered that I still proudly spout some astronomical respond," I replied to her with a locked gaze.
A moment of silence and she laughed; "Astronomical? Hahaha, that far huh!? That's out of context!" while patting my shoulder with a bit of weight that cause it to be slightly numb for the interim.
"Certainly" I state as we both walk to go through the cafeteria.
-
I was stunned by the sight. Why would the line go beyond the cafeteria's door? That long?! 30 minutes wasn't enough for me to get through and buy want I wished to. Another unfortunate scenario.
I begged that someone kindhearted I knew will let Melinda and I get through. But apparently, there isn't one. So we end up not buying there at all and spend the time that is still given on a bench under the tree and talking about some things.
"Hey do you already meet that boy I said to you in Section 1-B?" she asked. What section 1-B? Whom? I have no idea what she's saying at the moment.
"What are you talking about?" I curiously replied with a frown.
"Have you already forgotten?!" She respond with a sigh and added, "Nevermind, we'll meet him anyway. I'll just straight up introduce you to him.."
[Why the fuck would you introduce me to a man when I am not a bit interested in the stuff you're saying and into?] A thought of her being extent bewildered. Zoe knew that it would be a hit of a cupid on what Melinda is referring to. Just thinking of it wants her to escape from Melinda. It would be a waste of time. Unbeknownst to her that this would be a reason that would be a turning point in the feelings she'll develop.
