A Simple Life of a Teenage Boy - Page 37/97

While these thoughts were spinning inside my brain, I was spending time with them. They were laughing with each other and having good time but what was I doing?-Frankly to say I was just being jealous to see them together. I was lost in my own world thinking about Jenny while she was still there, with James. I felt alone though James was trying to accompany me. He didn't have any idea that I had a crush on Jenny. Besides, the place looked beautiful covered with lights and a huge Christmas tree. I saw lots of happy faces passing through me.

They bought things. Things like dresses and gifts for Christmas perhaps. I didn't buy a thing. I just stared at Jenny with a big round eyes as if a lion was trying to hunt its prey. After a little bit of shopping and roaming the city streets, we entered in a small café to erase our hunger and rest for a while. The café was big enough to fit about 50 people. I could hear the sound of people talking about things like politics, love, money and not to mention about Christmas as well. The three of us just sat at a corner holding Starbucks on our hand. I felt awkward being with them and Jenny was together with us. I didn't expect this to happen. The two of them were talking about things that didn't quite interest me. So, I flipped the Café menu and rolled my eyes here and there. Sometimes James tried to involve me in their little chit chat but I didn't show any interest. Jenny asked me about my drumming. I explained everything I knew about drums and beats. I was only good at those things so I didn't hesitate to speak about it.
