have you ever out of love ? and found yourself in depressive anxiety ? sure, you'd say that love come and go and you could always find another. but how deep does it really affect you ?John was like any regular student; he goes to school every day and never gives the teachers any problems. He got straight A’s for all his tests and exams. He was, some might say, a teacher’s pet. He has a normal family, all of whom cared so much about him.
One day, while in history lesson, his eyes stumbled upon the most gorgeous and sparkling pair of eyes he had ever seen. Those eyes belong to a girl named, Hailey. She was a new student who had just transferred to the school. After the formalities of introduction, she went to join the class for the lesson. John was captivated by her. The way she walked, talked and even up to the way she sneezed. Hailey and John soon became friends as a result of the countless projects they had to do together. They soon realized that they have more in common than they thought.
Gradually, they got closer up to the point when they both knew they liked each other more than just as group members. They got together and it was quite a public affair as every one in the class knew about them being together. John’s perfect life has just got more perfect, or so he thought.
After being together for a while, 4 months and 3 weeks to be exact, Hailey abruptly asked for the dreaded cliché of a break up. John was dumbfounded. He didn’t understand the meaning of it all. Everything was going so well between them. But why did it turn out to be this way? He had obviously no choice but to agree to it; what’s the point in being with someone who didn’t love you anymore. And so, the relationship ended there and then.
Soon enough, the news of the break up spread like someone winning American Idol. But the strange thing is that, John was taking it quite calmly. He seemed perfectly okay on the surface. His grades were not in the single bit affected at all. His friends thought that this was a good thing instead of the usual breakdowns after breakups. So they acted as if nothing had happened.
However, John’s friends did not really know how he felt deep inside him. He was hurting like he has been shot by a bullet and the wound would always stay in him and hurt him all the time. He would always try to let his teacher know through his essays. But his teacher never really paid much attention to the hidden meaning behind John’s well written essay.
Take a look at this, “
I feel so claustrophobic in this tiny little room I’ve been reverted to... maybe today I shall fly high into the sky, with wings wide open and eyes staring down onto earth. With the clouds above me, I shall truly believe that my life is a movie and I’m the director; calling out cut”. “Isn’t it just magnificent; the boy’s imagination and grammar?”, the teacher said to his colleague.
As soon as he said that, they both heard a
loud thump just downstairs.
