A random day of school, a random event in these superhuman teenagers lives… love. It comes and goes at random times, some people base their everything on this word.
Some people never even see its shadow in their entire lifetimes, it is a strangely powerful word that usually does not accurately describe the relationships of teenagers.
This word will be over used and thrown all over the place when it does not fit in anywhere, because people want it so much they confuse it with anything.
Though this is the view of adults, teenagers do not know how little they know of its meaning, they don’t know how rare it truly is, but they chase it more than most others.
Maybe because they have not been in despair because of this word yet, but they probably will like most others, only the dumb and naive will chase love desperately.
The reason I went on this tangent is to prepare you for the umpteenth time this word will be used by the characters in this book and for this scene.
In the classroom of the first class freshman, Nyarai is tightly hugging Chad again like any other day, but this day is also the day where the other girls jealousy overflows.
(Jessica:)”Like I know you guys are related and all that, but don’t go acting like hugging like that is normal… actually you guys are not even blood related.”
Jessica starts the fire, but no one has the intention to put it out. (Stacy:)”Nyarai do you like Chad THAT way?” Stacy gets to the point at once.
Nyarai appears confused, not about her own emotions, but about how long it took for them to make a scene about this… she has done this for a couple months now.
(Nyarai:)”Chad is attractive obviously, but I have no intentions to go over that line.” She answers, but her facial expression tells how confused she is as she stares at Stacy.
(Chloe:)”You don’t think it is weird to hug Chad that much?” Chloe can’t hold down her jealousy much more, no matter how close she is to Chad secretly, it is not a real relationship.
(Nyarai:)”It is weird at some points, but that also depends on family dynamics and culture, it could be perfectly normal.” She answers very sure of herself.
But the rest of the girls see this as a mute point, an argument that leads nowhere used to dodge actually answering. (Chloe:)”Do you love Chad?” She blurts out stupidly.
The classroom goes completely silent for a split second before Nyarai answers. (Nyarai:)”YES.” She puts emphasize to her “yes” and the classroom goes silent again.
Though this time the silence leads into a strange uproar of people screaming from all directions, David facepalms from the obvious fuck up of Nyarai.
Nyarai appears very confused about the sudden uproar and turns to look at Chad who has a stiff smile and then over to David who shows the obvious sign for “you fucked up”/facepalm.
Nyarai starts panicking in a very Nyarai way which barely shows on her face, but is panicking asking about advice in the mental link/private chat group.
While Nyarai’s face twitches slightly, the class continues freaking out and mutterings of “she loves him!?” “OMG, is this forbidden love between siblings!?” echoes around.
(Jessica:)”SHUSH!… Nyarai, do you actually love Chad?” Jessica somehow calms down the entire class with her “leadership” skills as the rest of class turns towards Nyarai.
(Nyarai:)”No, yes, um… I meant that in a normal way, not romantic way… I think Selina or Charlotte might love Chad more than me… in the romantic sense.”
Nyarai turns the situation towards Charlotte and Selina who both where very sure this was happening as they where informed before she did so/agreed to take some heat off her.
But that does not show on their faces as they both defend themselves from this accusation. (Selina:)”I don’t have feeling for Chad!… anymore!”
Selina blushes hard at the last part ruining her argument. (Charlotte:)”I don’t like him that much!” Charlotte defends herself a little to loudly and people ignore what she said.
People are very sure they both have feelings for Chad now… actually even Nyarai might “love” him… What about Chloe and Jessica?
As more and more classmates turn toward Jessica she blushes annoyed. (Jessica:)”I have a minor common crush, I am not in love with Chad!” She gnashes her teeth and is left alone.
(Chloe:)”I just go on dates with him…” She almost mumbles an answer, but makes it obvious what she feels and thinks. Actually they are still dating!?
People turn towards Chad in shock and confusion, but as more and more people turn towards him they start thinking about just how many girls seem to want Chad.
Thinking in the same line Ashley does something stupid and jumps on top of her desk and looks towards Chad, who looks back at her in fear as others also look at her.
(Ashley:)”Chad I-” But before she can talk or confess her feelings for Chad, Chad appears below her, swipes her off her feet and onto his back and disappeared from the classroom.
After Chad just kidnapped Ashley the rest of the classmates go quiet… “Did Chad just stop Ashley from confessing her feelings for him… or something like that?”
“Does he not know that what he did just makes it more suspicious?” People “whisper” to each other while others stay quiet. They think about when did Chad start doing stuff with Ashley?
David stands up and people look over at him. (David:)”I… If I said I love Chad would you guys laugh at me? Well jokes are probably not the best right now.” He clears his throat.
(David:)”Chad, flirts too much. Sorry. I am going to go out and scold him for a couple hours, Ashley does not have anything strange with Chad… They have nothing together.
The others though… I can’t defend his behavior with you guys, I wish he did not do this… again sorry.” David apologizes to the many girls who have been pulled into Chad’s stupidity.
David leaves the classroom which goes quiet for a little while until:”Does David love Chad? No like actually, do they love each other like that?” Ronny asks, but not many care about it.
Or at least that is what they pretend, a little too many people care about this subject, but do not dare question them… Also it was Ronny who said it so nobody wants to reply.
