Warum ich?
What unites hearts
Hey guys! I'm still alive! and without much talk, I wish you a lot of fun!
Could it be that the whole world has conspired against me? Of course, it's great that I skipped a class and can therefore graduate faster, with which I can then find a well-paying job, but why do I have to go to his class of all places? It's just not fair!
I walk very, very slowly in the direction from which a cheeky smile is beaming at me. If I walked a tad slower then I would most likely be walking backwards.
Seconds later, with a deep sigh, I fall into the armchair next to this boy. The whole time he didn't take my eyes off me for a moment and now our faces are no more than a foot apart as he leans over to me. Don't bother me like that!
I roll my eyes annoyed. The boy grins even wider. I sigh in resignation. His smile now almost extends from one ear to the other.Suddenly he holds out his right hand to me and says, "I'm Matthew. Only my buddies and my girlfriend can call me" Matt ". So, you can use my nickname, Annie! What do you think of that?"
Sorry? What I think about that? WHAT I THINK ABOUT THAT? He's crazy! And ... did he just call me "Annie"? Only Jeremy can do that! What is this guy doing?
Just as I'm about to give Matthew my opinion, the break bell rings. Relieved that I can quickly move away from my new involuntary seat neighbor, I jump up when Kirsten is already standing in front of me. Great, this is just not my day!
"Um, Ann? We wanted to have lunch together. Matt, don't you want to keep us company?" Annoyed, I let out a sigh. The answer, however, makes me laugh out loud.
"My name is Matthew, at least for you. And who exactly were you again?"Hateful face, my sister turns back to me while azure eyes wink at me. My laughter stops abruptly and I look back coldly, perhaps even a little arrogantly.
"Matthew," I say, emphasizing his name, "definitely doesn't want to eat with us. Otherwise his girlfriend, whom Matt is allowed to call him, will surely have to dine alone. Since Matthew seems like a gentleman to me, he will be his Certainly not to move loved ones. "
Two pairs of wide eyes stare at me.
"A-Ann, how are you talking? What's that supposed to mean now?" Food, "Gentleman", "Lover", what does this have to do with Matt having to eat with us? ", My sister asks and thus again makes me wonder whether we are really related to each other.
With a silent shake of my head, I turn away and leave the class. I have two more hours ahead of me before the lunch break begins. I'm really excited to see what else is in store for me this year.First my parents divorced, then moved to a new town, enrolled at this school for snobs, and then this Matt with his azure eyes that seem to haunt me all the time. And it all started at the beginning of this year! What else can I expect?
Sighing, I go to a window, open it and look out. A slight breeze brushes my hair from my face. How beautiful it is, the earth. With so many miracles that you can't even count them. We don't even know about most of them - if we ever do - and we overlook the greatest miracles, day after day. Like the miracle of life, for example. Not everyone has the privilege of being born healthy and wealthy. But-
"Wuah !!!!", it escapes me as I am pulled backwards. "What the hell- ?! Oh, you ..." I grumble unwillingly when I recognize Matthew. As usual, his face is adorned with a cheeky smile. When I want to break free from his embrace, he doesn't want to let go at first, but when I start to fight back harder, he finally lets me go."You looked so thoughtful ... so sad. I just wanted to cheer you up. Sorry. It was neither my intention to scare you and nor did I want you to be afraid of me," he explains to me more seriously Voice, while he keeps looking me in the eye.
He surprises me. This guy really surprises me. Not only can he apparently be serious, no, he hit the nail on the head with what he said. He scared me. His sudden closeness terrified me. He scares me when he's so close to me. I'm so afraid ... of closeness ...
What should I answer that now? Anything naughty and mean? But wouldn't that be unfair to his empathetic behavior? If only he wouldn't look at me like that ...
"Um, all right. I ... just had my thoughts elsewhere. Has class already started?" Without waiting for his answer, I walk towards the classroom and freeze.Yet again! That is impossible! What is this guy doing to stare my ass ?! Just now he was still totally easy-um friendly and now this! What's wrong with that guy?
"Hey, tell me, are you still okay? Please stop it!" An eyebrow moves up as he slowly lifts his gaze and examines every inch of my body.
"I have to say respect! You have a great physique. You are not hungry, are you? I like girls with a healthy appetite much better," he grins at me cheekily.
I reply cheekily: "Well, then I should start starving!"
"Ouch!" "Ouch!"
And already I'm lying on the floor. Across from me is a black-haired girl with glasses who I seem to have bumped into.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Something happened to you?" I ask her and help her to pick up the scattered leaves."No, nothing happened to me, thank you. It was also my fault, I wasn't paying attention either. You don't have to help me pick up my things. Better get out of here before anyone else sees you," murmurs me Girl too.
I look up confused. What does she mean by that? What is that supposed to mean? Is she ... the underdog in this class? She seems to be quite nice.
With a quick movement she almost snatches the sheets of paper from me, bows and walks quickly towards her seat. I look after her a little confused and sad.
"Funny girl, isn't it?" Asks a voice close to my ear. Startled, I turn around and bump my head into Matt's pretty hard.
"Ouch !!", it escapes me while Matthew doesn't make a sound. He twisted his lips into a grin again and whispered to me: "Oops! I would never have thought that you would answer like that. But I like it when girls take the initiative".Okay, he did it. He really did it! I'm red like an overripe tomato! I will never blush! Because in order to do that, I would have to show emotions in public, which I am not doing! Never ever!
"Hey, little one! You have to do that a lot. A bit of color on your face looks really great on you. And that I managed to get cool Annie off the rails makes me kind of proud," laughs Matt at me.
So ... now I'm really speechless. If I didn't know better, I'd say Matthew saw through me. He actually looked behind my facade made of ice. Or am I imagining something? Is that maybe even ... wishful thinking? ... Ts, really! Why should I wish for something like that? Maybe because I'm ... lonely?
"A kingdom plus my sandwich for your thoughts," he breathes in my ear. He's so close to me again. His cheek touches mine, tingling as he pulls away.He looks me in the eye and if I was romantically inclined, I would associate this scene with a fluff movie, but I don't! I swallow hard once and then push him away from me. And already my heart stops beating wildly.
I look up at him and see that Matthew is at least as confused as I am. His azure eyes radiate such uncertainty and confusion ... that's how I feel inside. But why is he confused?
Suddenly, out of nowhere, an orange-haired boy appears behind Matt and pats him on the shoulder. My first questions when I see this guy are:
1) How long does the morning take for his hairstyle?
2) Isn't there half a tube of gel in his hair?
And finally 3) How does he manage to grin even wider than Matt-hew ?!
Are they organizing a competition here to see who will be the first to grin from ear to ear or what?
"Well buddy, what's lo-? Wow!Hey sweety! What are you doing this evening? ", this strange guy yells in my face. Honey? Well wait, my friend, you can still get your fat off!
I put on a seductive - I hope - bedroom look and answer him with a breath: "You still ask? Going out with you of course, honey. You are my dream boy, do you know that?"
Satisfied, I see how Matt's eyes narrow to slits and those of the orange-haired grow larger with every word I say. I could have bet he'd start drooling any minute!
I really have to pull myself together not to laugh out loud! And when me Matt –hew! then looks at it totally flabbergasted, I can't anymore. I start to laugh out loud.
At first the two guys seem very confused, but after a few seconds they join in. I had almost forgotten how good it is to have a real laugh. It's so liberating.
Only when the school bell rings for the fourth lesson does me abruptly fall silent.This can not be! Why am I suddenly showing my feelings in public? It's been happening to me more and more since this Matthew showed up. What shoud that?
Without saying another word to the two of them, I turn around and go to my seat. An icy mask adorns my face. Something like that mustn't happen to me again! I don't want to get along with anyone here! I don't want friends! Friends just take advantage of you and distract you from school. That's why I never want to make friends with anyone!
I peek briefly at the two friends and see that they are looking at me in disbelief. Well, you have it now! Don't trust anyone but yourself, then you can't be disappointed either.
"Hello, my dear students! Isn't that a wonderful day today? Much too nice to spend inside, so leave everything and please follow me outside!" Whistles an obviously good-humored professor into the Classroom and then disappeared again.What kind of school is that? Where did I get into? I want to go As I look around, I notice that the professor's request will be followed immediately. Well, who would not welcome it if instead of studying in an air-conditioned building, you go out into the fresh air to ... yes, to do what? She said we should leave everything here. So what are we doing outside?
Gripped by curiosity, I join my new classmates and leave the room. Matt and that orange-haired guy
