Aurora: the dawning of a love

I just don’t get it. How can one person be so bipolar? I mean, first, he’s all like “Hey Maggie! How are you? Want to come to my basketball match?!” and then the next day, he doesn’t even notice I’m there! GOD I HATE GUYS! Who does he think he is? Oh, AND he’s my friggin’ dance partner! Oh, I should watch my language. Anyway, dancing Rumba(a dance where you’re supposed to seduce your partner) does not help in my situation. Seriously, have you tried seducing a block of wood? If you have, that is EXACTLY how it is at practices. ARGH. Just totally absolutely sucks. Mirka told me she arranged a meeting for me and Rado for this Friday. How can I even be bothered with Rado when Jacob keeps bugging me?!?! I mean, HELLO?!?! I’ll just go there and see how it works out. Oh GOD… practice AGAIN… it sucks, coz I totally love dancing and Jacob just makes it so bad for me… I wish he would get over his Ego… Luckily me and Mirka are going to our weekly aqua aerobics class. I know, pretty bad huh? But it’s really really fun!!!
“Hey Mirka. Have your stuff?” I asked before entering the pool area
“Well duh, I wouldn’t come in here if I didn’t” she said, rolling her eyes
“Okkay, just checking” I said, clearly making fun of her
The class was good, and we talked a lot about guys. Okay, we gossiped like crazy, I admit. But it was for a good cause, I swear!
“Mirka, come on… Jacob will totally kill me… and how do I know if he likes me?” I asked for the hundredth time
“Look, he has that twinkle in his eye when he’s looking at you. Trust my womanly senses to tell me the truth in this matter, please.” She replied calmly “And how about stopping to think about Jacob and giving a chance to Rado?”
“I guess I could…” I said, actually seriously considering it for the first time “So we’re going out this Friday, right?” I asked verifying my memory
“Yup, leave it free. I mean, he’s not the best of guys, but he’s sweet and he’s my really good friend.” She said. I looked at her reluctantly.
“Okay, I admit, he’s a total pain in the butt, but sometimes, he can be really nice” she added after my stare
“Thought so..” I said. Of course. Either I find someone who is absolutely uninterested or an asshole. There goes me over again. Argh, I’m so gonna pay for my appetite for guys. Omg, did I say appetite? That sounded so wrong! When we finished aqua aerobics, and we were heading towards the exit, Mirka asked once again
“Maggie, are you sure you wanna meet up with Rado?”
“Yah, I am! I need someone else to distract me!” I said, but then I added “Did that sound too much like some stupid chick trying to have 2 guys at the same time?”
“Nah, not really… but if you added something like ‘I need sex, now’, it would have” she laughed
“OMG Mirka, my poor innocent ears” I laughed along
“Yeah… right, you’re… more perverted… than me” Mirka said in between laughs
“Nah-uh, you’re still the queen of everything regarding sex” I said, leaving through the door.
--- Fast forward to Friday ---
“MIRKA!!!!!” I shouted across the corridor
“What is it?” she answered
“I can’t go today! I’m soooo sorry” I said, really feeling sorry, because I saw Rado just a few minutes ago and he looked really gorgeous. What am I thinking???
“WHAT? Omg Maggie… well okay, I’ll re-schedule it then” she said reluctantly
“Thanks, you’re one in a million!!!” I said, running to my next class because the bell just rang. I saw Rado descend down the stairs. I don’t know what made me do it, but I shot a smile in his direction, which he didn’t give back, yet it made me feel much better. I opened the door to class “sorry mr. lindbloom, I got caught up…” and the door closed behind me, drowning out my words, although I could swear someone was watching me. After class, I went out, naively thinking that the eyes would still be there. As a coincidence, Jacob was standing right there, staring in my direction. I ignored his gorgeous brown eyes, and went over to Mirka.
“Hey, I saw Rado before class” I said, hoping to hear something new
“Yeah, I already wrote him an SMS that the evening is cancelled” Mirka replied, sounding sad
“I really am sorry…” I said
“I know Maggie, I know” she replied back, smiling
I then roamed the school for a while, seeing I had a free lesson. Suddenly, I met one of my classmates
“Hey Maggie! We put together a latin class. You wanna join?”
“Yeah sure! When is it?” I asked, quite eager on the idea
“Today, after school” she replied
“Cool, I’ll be there” I answered, walking off. Latin. I always wanted to learn that language, it seemed so interesting, although dead. Yeah, that sounds kind of morbid. How about I say that not dead, but not being used that much anymore? Yeah, that sounds much better.
“Hey, Mags, did you hear about the latin class?” Mirka asked me in our last lesson before the supposed latin class.
“Oh yeah, I heard about it. I’m going” I replied, smiling
“OMG and you know who is going as well? RADO!” she said, laughing
“WHAT? God… he doesn’t know how I look right?” I asked worriedly
“Ummm no?” she replied, giggling
“Oh good… oh, do I look okay btw?” I asked again
“MAGGIE! One time you’re all like ‘I can’t be bothered with him’ and now you’re all like ‘DO I LOOK OKAY? DOES HE KNOW ME?!?!’… R-E-L-A-X” she emphasized the last words, spelling it out
“oooooooookaaaaaaaaaaaay” I replied
The bell rang. OMG! LATIN! Okay, I really have to get my thoughts straight. First, I couldn’t even think about him and now I’m nervous about going to a class, whilst knowing he doesn’t even know WHAT I look like, nor who I am. And how can I think about him while I’m still worrying about Jacob, Or am I? WHAT THE HELL?
“Let’s go Maggie, class 312” Mirka shouted over her shoulder. Oh boy…
