The dumbass in the advertisements
Liya-Rose Gates POV:
How am I supposed to tell a well structured story when my life is absolute chaos??? But anyway here are three things you NEED to know before you start reading this:
First of all, many have described me to have no emotions whatsoever and almost be heartless. Secondly I don't have any strong relationships with anyone in my life, I do just cut people out like tags on my clothing for no reason, or so I often think, theres normally a secret reason. Thirdly, and most importantly i'm still inlove with someone I met in YEAR seven??? Heres the thing, knowing my luck he left at the start of year eight before I could confess my undying love. Well thats fucking stupid isn't it? Also, you know those advertisements where the dumbass guy fails to perform the most simplest of tasks in the most idiotic fasion possible? Yeah thats basically what happens next. I'm the dumbass guy and the simple task is to GET OVER SOMEONE YOU WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN. Which I never have done. It's been three YEARS since i've seen him but SOMEHOW I'M STILL INLOVE. Nobody knows about all of this and I think its about time I spill the tea. I can't keep it to myself for much longer, it's driving me insane- SHIT. I DIDNT ACTUALLY WANT TO SPILL MY TEA. You didn't read that dont worry.
I should probably tell the tale of this random guy in Year seven who ditched me. To start off the average 11 year old going into high school, we obviously have the signature hallway crush that you think you'll never talk to and most of the time you don't if you're a member of Gen Z but for me it was different. No, I did not go and talk to him, until I was forced to that is.
Later on my dearest teacher was doing the seating plan and announced; "On the back table we have:
Jack, Liya, Marnie and jay" I dont know if im absolutley pissed at her for putting Jay on MY TABLE or if I would kill for her because of this perfect decision. Its a 50/50 split I think. Marnie and Jack must of known eachother from their primary schools because they both seemed delighted and immediatley moved to sit by eachother, leaving me and Jay to sit together.
At the time my face must of revealed what I was thinking of because Jay looked at me and said, "Im really not that bad you know," with a massive grin on his face. His tone of voice pissed me off, I couldn't tell if he was flirting with me or already hated me.
Nothing really happened during the first hour of our teacher introducing herself as "Mrs Hall" and telling us the rules and handing out timetables and other bits of pointless knowlege such as after school clubs. Who wants to spend any more time at school then they have to? Not me i'll tell you that.
By now I had switched off and was ignoring every sound in the room and instead thinking of what my mom was making for tea tonight, I was hoping she'd let me and my sister get some pot noodles, only the best. Whenever we get pot noodles it's always so much fun, our mom gives us some money to buy them and we both just talk about whatever comes to mind and she occasionally updates me on this guy at her college that she thinks shes inlove with after going on a few dates together. She often asks about my love life. Well Ash, i've never dated anyone, been inlove and never even think of it. I'm in year seven woman.
"Hey Liya what's yours?" I heard a voice say from across the table
"What's what?" I said
"You're favourite colour of course! Mine is pink, Jack says his is red," Marnie says with a cheerful smile on her face. Is she seriously asking me my favourite colour? The most basic small talk question ever? I guess so.
I already hated that place.
