In this world there are two types of people, the Have's and the Have not's. I identify as a have, for two simple reason's, it was simply because I was popular and likable. For no reason at all, people liked me, because I was kind and 'sweet', when really all I was being was a decent human being, but I guess can't blame them, it's hard to find a decent human being these days. Especially now, because everyone I meet is two faced.
Everyone except, my best friend Daylyn, from high school. He's the only one who's helped me in countless situations, starting from random love confessions to crazy stalkers. He is the only person I trust, the only down side is that I always feel bad for him. He's always cleaning up after me and he's always there when I need him to be.
Sometimes I feel like I've been burdening him.
Fall was starting, meaning another semester was staring. which also means a new look. It's impossible to go back looking the exact same as you left. It's boring and dumb, that's why I've decided to buy some new clothes. But I'm not going outside, I'm going to sit on my bed with my laptop to buy new clothes. This time instead of plain blue t-shirts I'll buy plain black t-shirts, this is what I call a 'new me'.
"Liammmm!"
I look up to see a drunk Daylyn stumble into our shared apartment." Daylyn are you drunk again?" I asked him, but he didn't answer. Instead he slowly made his way over to the bed and lied face first in front of me.Suddenly he began to cry and I sighed for what seemed like the 100th time today."Day why are you crying?" I asked him again and he raised his head. His eyes were sightly red and snot was running out of his nose.
"I got dumped againnnn, and now I think all girls are the sameeee." He said whining and I chuckled, Daylyn was a hopeless romantic just like I was, one of the meany reasons why him and I were best friends."Not all girls are the same, I mean you'll find the right one someday." I said and he started whining again."I don't want any girl unless she looks like Buttercup from Powerpuff GirlsZ."
I rolled my eyes at him and sighed.
That was the 101th time today.
I think we both have to realize that the world isn't fair especially towards the Have not's, but since I'm a Have I can't complain, I'm supposed to have it all, I mean it's in the title. I mean, I am the son a of a CEO who runs a multi-million dollar company, but suddenly I was put on the 60th floor of wealthy stuck up grandpas who don't know how to treat people. Crazy part was I didn't even ask to be put on this level with all the other stuck up people.
I was different, people are all different, but when the topic of love comes up the answers are never the same. There's always a liar, cheater, and a heart breaker. You are never labeled as the innocent one in a messy break up, not even in a healthy break up, because somebody has had to have done something , you're automatically deemed guilty and sense I'm a guy the possibility of that happening to me is extremely high.
Back in high school it was so easy just to find someone, to get close to, and it was even easier to suddenly push them away, but the best thing about that was that I never felt guilty about breaking a heart. I was the heart breaker, the cheater, and the liar, I've everything wrong in past relationships.
I was horrible idiot in the past and at the time I thought I could get away with it because I was a Have.
Back then it was easy to find the people who only wanted you because of what you could offer, back then nobody wanted me for me, they wanted me because I was a Have. As I got older I realized that being the the greater of the good is not always great.
The day I arrived to school at the start of the the 3rd semester, I felt great. I didn't have any weight on my shoulders yet, but knowing that as soon as I enter I knew that there was one person who would pester me."Liam!"
I raised my head from the ground to see a gorgeous woman with long blonde hair and a slim waist run towards me. This woman was none other than my ex, an from 2 years ago."Hey Yvonne." I said in an lazy tone. She smiled innocently at me, I made sure to make eye contact with Daylyn just in case she'd try to rope me in some complicated conversation that's centered around her.
Not that there was anything wrong with that, but I just walked into campus, is it so hard to leave me alone for at least 2 minutes?
"You know, I've missed you." Yvonne says as she raises her arms and wraps them around my neck. She forcefully pulls me towards her while I struggle to pull away.
"I'm sure you have, now let go of me please." I said and continued to try and pull away from her. I looked over at Daylyn with pleading eyes, God forbid if this man doesn't help me. He eventually and aggressively pulls Yvonne's arms off of my neck."When will you get the hint? You guys broke up two years ago and you're still obsessed with him?" Yvonne looked at him in shock.
"That doesn't mean we don't like each other." She said and smiled at me. I cringed at her and looked the other way. Great, now we were causing and scene."Let's just get to class." I said and started to walk away. There are too many eyes on me right now. "See you never, you stalker!" Daylyn yelled at her before catching up with me.
This is embarrassing.
"God, I hate that woman." Daylyn said and I laughed."She won't leave me alone." I said then suddenly Daylyn slapped me hard on my back."What was that for?" I yelled and he looked at me disgusted."That's because you don't know how to say no anymore. When did you become so soft? You used to break hearts left and right."
I sighed and looked at the pattern in which I walked."That's not me anymore." I could feel Daylyn's sad eyes linger on me until we got to our seats in our first class together.
As soon as I walked in the room all the attention was on me, everyone was watching me as I made my way to my seat. No one sees me as a human anymore, just a fresh piece of meat on a platter waiting to be eaten, how annoying.
Suddenly there was a loud whisper in the room, I assumed it was everyone talking about me, but when I looked up it was completely different.
For the first time when I looked up I was looking in the same direction as everyone else. It was a girl with the most beautiful dark skin and long black braids decorated with gold, that passed her waist. Just from afar I could tell that her smile towards everyone she looked at was genuine. She wore a white shirt with the yellow skirt, it was nice and simple, which to me made her stand out even more.
"Wow." I immediately covered my mouth with what I just said. Did I really just say that out loud?"Dude did you just say wow?" I looked at Daylyn with a shocked look on my face and he immediately started laughing."Have you found a girl?" He said smugly and I flicked him the forehead."Dude shut up."
"Fine if you don't like her then I'll take her." He said and I immediately flicked him again."Dude stop with the flicking already jeez." He said and rubbed his forehead."You can't take her, I will." I said and crossed my arms. I looked at the girl again and she suddenly looked my way. I panicked and awkwardly smiled at her. She smiled back at me warmly before facing forward again.
I immediately turned forward and covered my mouth, that's when I felt my body temperature rise dramatically."Bro are you blushing?" Daylyn said and started to laugh."That's new you haven't blushed since never." I was mentally panicking, did I really just blush? Like a little kid? What is happening to me?"Are you questioning why you're blushing?" I looked at Daylyn annoyed, this guy knows me way too well.
"Don't worry you're just feeling emotions, it might be a bit new to you since you barely have any." He said looking smug."I really don't like you sometimes you know." I said and he nodded."I know." All I knew for sure was that I had to see her up close, all I knew was that she was really really pretty.
When Daylyn and I went to lunch that day the yellow skirt girl was there again. As I expected I couldn't help but keep my eyes on her. "You're really starting to scare me you know? I think we should see a doctor, you're acting weird." Daylyn said and I sighed."I'm not sick."
"Then why don't you go talk to her?" I looked at him surprised look on my face."Don't tell me you weren't planning to talk to her."I looked to side and he immediately knew my answer."Liam you're horrible at this." I scowled at him, but I kept my eyes on, her I've never seen someone so angelic looking." Fine I'll at least get her name." I said as I stood up in my chair."That's the spirit."
I started walking towards where she was standing in the lunch line, I immediately started gaining attention, this might be a problem. When I was a few inches away from her she suddenly turned around and bumped her tray of food into me, everything she was holding was now on her white shirt and yellow skirt.
"Oh no." I said and she glared at me with the most hated look in her eyes. I didn't even mind that she was mad, all I was doing was taking this opportunity to stare at her face up close. She had beautiful dark brown eyes and long curled eyelashes. I noticed a small mole right by her lip.
Wow..
"You're in my way."
"What?"
