I don't want to fall in love...

I was mumbling the lyrics of the song. They were telling the truth; expressing my thoughts from the core of my heart. I didn't need love. Love is overrated and makes you fool. Love was nothing but a fancy of pain. It makes you wait for too long, hopes for too many things and expect too much from someone else. It just makes you look backwards when you are trying to go ahead. Loving can hurt only. I've had enough of that so called love. I got nothing but loneliness and enormous pain for loving someone. It had torn my soul apart. With every single lyric the song is making me remember those things that I just wanted to keep buried.

I glanced silently at the two idiots near me and I knew that look in their eyes. Both are practically glowing being near with each other. Indeed they are fools in love just like me and...

The song was now blasting on high volume in my headphones. I did NOT want to hear Eugene bragging about how many times he humped Becka last night. I looked at Blake's face and he was smiling but I could see a dark shade in his eyes.

He was looking toward the entry. He only seemed to be paying attention to all Eugene was saying, but he wasn't really.

I rarely saw him look so worried about someone. Usually Eugene's stories were entertaining and funny and Blake always had fun listening to each of them, which by now we all knew were pure bullshit.

Instead I prefer to stay alone and enjoy my coffee and my food in silence, just me and a calming music. I can't stand all the people who talk non stop without catching a break to breath, talking non stop about anything and nothing. I had to stand Eugene though, he was my friend.

He is a "special person", just like Blake. I would never tell them to shut up. I've known them since we were four years. We're like brothers.

I'll just get my revenge tonight; someone will be without his trunks at the pool. I let out a slight smirk in the corner of my mouth, only thinking while still glancing at them. I know it's child play but it is always funny to see the reactions of the others.

"Dude did I said something funny?" Eugene asks looking at me, blinking fast like an idiot. "You're starting to be creepy." He continued while glaring at me and started sipping his strawberry slush flavor loud, forgetting about what he was talking about.

"I just... remembered something," I told him, feeling as if I'll start to smile even wider, only thinking what I just planned for him tonight. I looked at Blake and he looked now as if he was far away. His gaze was on the door, he was ready to stand up any moment.

"The annoying kid is fine," I said bored while taking off my headphones.

"Did you say something?" Blake asked not looking at me. I could see he was impatience, waiting for Theo to come back. I could also notice that the kid was feeling bad. He was paler than usual and had on the same clothes since yesterday.

"I could swear the datedness is contagious," I said rolling my eyes and starting to sip from my coffee. Seems I was the only person from the group who adores this black strong liquid.

Blake nodded not paying attention at all while Eugene winks frenetically to Becka, who was at least two tables behind us with some girls. As well as me, the waitress stared at him. Not with love though. She suddenly let out a puff trying not to laugh.

After a few more minutes, I seen Theo entering the room. He looked shaken up and was tripping at each step. Blake stand up walking toward him catching him in his arms.

"Theo, are you feeling alright?" He asks, but the kid only nods, smiling.

"I'm tired." He tells us holding his phone like his life was depending on it. Behind I see the new kid joining as well.

"He is fine." Ivan says. Hearing him, I wonder why he went out after him. The kid barely transferred. He looks at me and smiles making me feel uncomfortable for an odd reason; like he could have read my thoughts. I don't know why I'm not getting good vibes about that Ivan.

Something about him was bothering me. He bit his thumb looking as if he was sipping Theo with his eyes. I look again at Blake and now he seems more relived. Theo and Ivan's eyes meet. Something is happening here. I've a feeling that they knew each other from a long time. Maybe they share some past...

All my senses were activating or it was just pure paranoia to get rid of the intruder faster from our group. Those two were hiding something. I bet my soon to have kitten's life on it. I have dreamt of getting rid of the scrawny kid for years. Another smirk appears on my face.

Blake sat down across from me, holding his arm around Theo's shoulder. "He won't break," I said, but Blake rapidly shoot me a killing glare telling me to keep my mouth shut. After quite some time Eugene breaks the awkward silence.

"Is the Party this evening at Blake's still on?" I nod in Blake's place. I had wonderful plans for tonight. Blake looks at me amused. I knew him all too well and I was a good mind reader. I was proud of my little gift.

"If you start again with that crap I'll hit you hard." Blake told me. I was feeling exposed and my mind reading was bashed. "Yes, at six, is when you all need to be at my place." I see his eyes moving toward Ivan and he invites him as well.

The kid refused to say anything but he got bored listening to them. My gaze stopped upon Theo, who was slightly blushing and smiling for a reason. "Hmm little Theo, I see!" I thought. After a while I noticed Katya, a girl from our science class heading toward us. The moment Blake sees her, releases Theo. His face was flushed.

"Ah! Love has struck another poor soul." I say out loud. Everyone look at me confused and with curious looks in their eyes. I start to laugh without holding back anymore. It was just something that I blurted out without even thinking.

"Ty! You always say something silly from time to time." Katya said brushing her hand against Blake's shoulder and having a pink color to her cheeks. He looked tensed. I let out a slight giggle. Suddenly Theo stands out and slightly brushes Katya aside making Blake stand as well.

He looked at me and I could swear he looked like an abandoned puppy. "I'm... G-going home and coming to the party later on." He said rushing out. After him, Ivan leaves as well whistling a song.
