Chapter Five
A room with a view
Finally, Saturday had finally returned! As usual on Saturdays I woke up late, but when I got up from my bed, I couldn’t see anything clearly. I rubbed my eyes but still nothing. I didn’t know why this was happening to me, but I went straight to a doctor. He took some tests, told me to look at some alphabets which I couldn’t see. Well, you guessed right! I wear glasses now!
I got out of the clinic not knowing where I should go. I realized that my cell was ringing, I hurriedly picked it up and said ‘Hello.’
‘You stupid idiot! You forgot your wallet at my house!’ someone screamed in the earpiece.
‘Uh ….who is this?’ I asked.
‘It’s Makayla you moron!’ she screamed.
‘Yeah, I forgot my wall…..’
‘I know, get our sorry ass over here or your wallet’ll be in big trouble,’ she ordered.
‘Okies, I’m coming,’ I said and hung up.
After a while I reached her house.
‘You moronically idiocy, why did you leave your wallet!’ she screamed and then looked at me. ‘Hey you got glasses, they don’t suit you by the way,’ she said.
‘Yeah, I got glasses. I may have dropped my wallet,’ I said.
‘You may have dropped it, no you did drop it!’
‘Yeah, here you go,’ she handed me my wallet back.
‘And get out!’ she pushed me out of her house and I landed on my face. I got up, dusted my clothes and went out of the boundaries of her house, or else she’ll murder me. But she’ll do whatever I tell her, even if I tell her to jump of the Brooklyn bridge she’ll jump
And sometimes, only sometimes she becomes scared of me.
Wearing these glasses made me uncomfortable and everyone was looking at me, I think. I went straight to Café Nervosa, I sat down and I couldn’t think of anything else but Sweet stranger. He was on my mind 24/7! I was only pulled out of my day dreaming when someone came up to me who looked awfully familiar.
‘Hi, I’m sorry to disturb you but I think I’ve seen you somewhere,’ she said.
She was tall, had long brown colored hair and was very slim. She was wearing a black shirt, dark blue skinny jeans and white high tops. She was really familiar, but I my mind couldn’t process who she was. But then like a flash of lightning it hit me.
‘You’re Karen Terence right?’ I asked.
‘Yeah, and who might you be? I know but it’s slipped my mind,’ she asked.
‘I’m Selena …….’ I couldn’t finish my sentence.
‘Gomez right? Hehe, I know you from Facebook. I could never imagine that I could meet an
internet friend just by sitting in a coffee shop,’ she said.
‘Neither could I, but it’s nice finally seeing you face to face.’
‘Yeah, same here. So I remember that you like Frasier and Seinfeld, like mad.’
‘Yeah, I love those programs. Can’t they make a movie out of Seinfeld like ….’
‘When they come out of jail after four years.’
‘So, why couldn’t they make this?’
‘Well, I don’t know. If they had made one it could’ve been great!’ she replied
‘Hmmm, why don’t we make a script? Like only an imaginary one,’ I suggested.
‘Yeah, when they come out of jail, should they separate or not?’
‘Well, they should separate. And when they come out Jerry says “Yes, we’re out! Finally we’ll
be able to do everything freely; it’s like the return of superman!”’
‘And then Elaine who’s a little sensible says “But Jerry, we should be on our own. We have
done so much harm to many people”’
‘And when they are all separated Elaine is just going to get married and she screams inside
her head like in that subway episode “Why? Why am I doing this? I am not that desperate to
settle down! I hate that man, and why am I marring him? This is not me”. She runs and
leaves that guy at the altar.’
‘And George will be with his parents and they are kicking him out saying “George we need some space, you’ve been with us so long. Go and live where ever you want to we’re giving you up” and that’s Frank. And George is left alone and helpless and he goes to Jerry and Kramer’s and they all end up together and they go to Monks, together this time.’
‘Yeah, if we were the writers we could’ve made the movie,’ I said.
‘But we’re not, we’re just plain students in school. But with a wild imagination.’
‘Ha-ha, yeah.’
I realized Kamelia had just entered the coffee shop, I got up and said ‘Hey Kam, over here.’
‘Oh, hi Sel. How’s everything?’ she asked.
‘Everything’s fine. What about you? And this is my friend Karen Terence,’ I replied.
‘Hi, Karen. Nice to meet you, I’m Kamelia Naibi,’ Kam talked to Karen.
‘Hey, nice to meet you too.’
‘What were you guys talking about?’ Karen asked me.
‘Just Seinfeld, you know.’
‘Haha, yeah I know. So Karen how are you?’
‘Hehe, I’m fine, how about you?’
‘I’m great, so how old are you?’
‘I’m 15 years old, how old are you and which school do you go to?’
‘I’m 13 and in Starrylightskies high school and you?’
‘I’m in Constintine high school.’
‘So, is anything new?’ Kam asked me.
‘Nope, and with you?’
‘Nah, nothing with me too.’
‘So Karen, do you like music?’ I asked her.
‘Yeah, I love music. Especially Tokio Hotel, they are the best. I love Bill Kaulitz,’ she replied
and I remembered about Bill. Is she talking about Bill who is in our school?
‘Bill Kaulitz?’ I thought out loud.
‘Yeah, he’s soo dreamy,’ Karen said.
‘I think I know him.’
‘You do? Can I meet him?’ She asked.
‘Bill, who’s new in our school?’ Kam asked.
‘Yeah, Mac knows about him too and so does Mak. And yeah sure you can meet him, how
about tomorrow right here in Nervosa.’
‘Yayy, hehe. Wow, I didn’t know that I’ll meet an internet friend and get to meet Bill Kaulitz,’
Karen said out loud.
It was a really nice day, I loved it. I meet an internet friend Cool, I never knew this can happen. It was soo cool. Lol, why am I saying it’s cool all the time? Ha, I am weird
Everything was going great today, so nice but it didn’t when I saw Danny with another girl :’(
I wanted to kill him know, my heart broke. He wasn’t sweet at all know, he was E-V-I-L! I went back to my apartment and I wanted to write his name in my Death Note but I didn’t have the heart to do that. I went out again because I couldn’t stand being alone, who knows what I might’ve done? I went back to Café Nervosa and sat down on an empty seat and I saw someone standing in front of me, it was Bill.
‘Hi Selena, you’re not looking like you used too. Like you’re not happy,’ he said.
‘Oh, nothing happened. Just I saw Danny with another girl,’ I replied.
‘Uh ….you mean you liked him,’ he said.
‘Yeah and he broke my heart.’
‘Oh ……I’m really sorry for that.’
‘I can’t talk about this. I’m too depressed.’
‘Oh, okay. I’ll leave you alone then,’ he said with a huge amount of disappointment on his face.
