(note : in this post i am not trying to laugh about this girl or even make the situation funny as we usually do in our writings , i tried to be as sincere as possible because i want people to be aware of her kind and know what she is capable of , if u want something funny then wait for our next post , i guarantee its gonna be sardonically hilarious !!)
Today ..About 7 a.m my cellphone rang..and the only thing i was thinking about -while i was trying so hard to open up my eyes and reach for the phone – is: ” this better Be good , who the hell wants to talk to me now ?”..of course and for the shock of the century it was a classmate that i haven’t spoken to ..in a long..LONG..time !..for the first 5 seconds i was so in disbelief that i kept reading the name over and over again..( since i can’t actually say her name i am gonna call her “Bla Bla” )…
” BLA BLA ??! ..oh god not again”…i pressed “silence” & held the phone in anticipation waiting for her to finally finish ..and after a great while she did..i threw the cellphone away and started frantically thinking of what she is going to do next..and before i realized it ..i heard the house’s phone ringing and i knew it was her ..i jumped out of my bed and ran as fast as i can to talk to my father before he answers..and thank GOD i caught him before he did , i screamed as hard as i can ” DAD WAIT ..DON’T ANSWER!!” and i asked him to tell her that i was not there , that i was gone and probably busy throughout the week ..and so he did.
By that my nightmare was temporarily over..you See “Bla Bla” is someone every one of u has met , she is the weird awkward girl that nobody talks to , usually with a disastrous hair style and a more awful hairdo that she insists on doing every single day..she has no friends , no sound , no expression ..just by walking near her u can feel darkness!..this girl also had a weird collection of bracelets that she liked to wear & the goofiest bag ever ..i felt sorry for her , for the fact that people laughed at and mocked her ..and i felt even worse cause i thought of the same stuff they said to her face and sometimes when they used to make jokes about her behind her back they would be so funny that i would laugh ! ..
One Day at An English class , i said a joke and we started laughing and i saw her looking at me and laughing as well and i thought to myself ” poor thing , i am gonna talk to her in the break” ..and so..Most unfortunately i did ..she seemed nice..awkward..but nice..she said a lot of things that didn’t make any sense ..but we all do don’t we ? …the break finished and we went back to class , and i went straight to the board and started writing some lyrics like i always do , she entered and said to me : ” u like “X” ? i like them too !” ..i smiled and said : “yea i do” ..i thought that was the end of it..like we would have small talks occasionally ..smile to each other when we pass by each other in the hallway and i would feel like i am not one of them..u know ” the mean girls that have to joke about everyone and everything” !
By the next day , i realized things were far from over ..as she came to me holding a CD and said : ” i made this CD for you “..MADE A CD FOR ME and we have only talked ONCE ..ONCE ! i took it while looking at my best friend and did this thing that u can only do with your best friend and its talking to them with your eyes what i said was : “what the hell?!?!?!” and my friend answered back with her eyes :”i have no idea!! don’t you look at me u just had to go and talk to her !!”..i cracked a smile and said “thanks..what’s in it ?” ..she said happily:” some songs i thought u would like , i think we have the same taste” so i thanked her again promising i will hear them and respond to her about it ..and so i did ..and things went down hell from there !
As days progressed she added me on her messenger , on Hi5 , on Facebook , on anything she could find ..she talked to me everyday on the messenger and usually the talk was short & full of awkward silence :
*Bla Bla : hi
*Dee : Hey
* Bla Bla : how are you doing ?
* Dee : I am good hun and u ?
* Bla Bla : good.
and that would be it ..and after like 2-3 hours she would just say ” i gtg bye !” ..and i would say “Bye”..of course she still brought me gifts and presents , from books , to cds , to bracelets ..to things she wrote and wanted to share with me..there were so many of them i didn’t find time for them anymore so i would lie and say that i saw them or read them or whatever ..but it didn’t stop there ..she started acting like my best friend and treating my best friend like she was the 3rd wheel , she’d say stuff like “can i talk to Dee in private ?” and then talk to me the whole break about meaningless stuff and when i would say to her that i would have to get back to my friends she would start tearing up and saying stuff about how bad her family is to her compelling me to stay and continue listening ..i knew she needed a friend..i knew she had issues ..but i also knew that she’s more than i can handle !
After a while things got really Insane when people that i knew outside of school started asking me about her ..saying that she added them on hi5 or Facebook or whatever saying that she is my best friend and that we are almost identical ..and they would be like : “she sounds cute..how come u never talked about her ?” ..and of course the first thing that would come to my head : “CUTE? really?!” and the first thing i would say : ” she is not my best friend , not even a close one ” ..if u think that was hard enough to explain ..imagine my shock when she started falling in love with every guy i knew , writing them weird letters and asking them to meet her some places and then coming to school and saying that they fell in love with her and can’t stop chasing her ..and all this time i would tell myself that she is sick and that its OK ..and i would ask the guys to stay the hell away from her coz she’s just not normal !
She kept on chasing me everywhere , telling me about everything..i mean EVERYTHING ..like how many times she went to the bathroom the day before ! and at the end i could not help looking awfully bored and that started annoying her i guess coz she stopped talking to me ..and ended up sending me weird messages everyday ” Good Morning” ..”Good Afternoon” ..”Good Night”..
To cut the story short , and skip some horrific details ..final exams were knocking on the Doors , and since its”Tawjihi” i had to study real hard , but instead of studying i ended up freaking about another one of her foolish ideas ..because you see she decided to tell me one day before the exams that she was running away with some one..and that she just wanted to tell me so i wouldn’t worry but that she hasn’t told anyone else..and i had to spend the next 3 days convincing her that its not OK to run away with a guy u chat with every now and then On-line ! a guy she never actually met and doesn’t really know..finally she decided not to do it ..but right then i decided to tell her that i think she needs to see a shrink ..so i went and i thought about a million ways to tell her without actually sounding mean and when i finally did tell her she said : ” i already go , they think i am crazy “and she started laughing..the Crazy cartoonish laugh ! so i asked her to stop lying to people ..i told her that she knows that she is not my best friend and that a lot of the things she tells people are not correct and that it is really hurting and annoying me but she actually didn’t care so i finally decided it was time to cut things off !
I took advantage of the fact that school was over and i deleted her from my different accounts , and i stopped answering her calls and messages , whenever i would see her i would run the other way ..she started gathering information about me from people that i knew , like where i am gonna be and what i am gonna do and so i had to ask people not to give her any sort of information about me ..she’d call in the middle of the night ..and then like every other hour and she would drive me crazy but i didn’t answer and i didn’t submit..i guess i was so scared of her that i wasn’t even gonna try to act civil to her..and finally she Stopped !
since she stopped ..she called me on few occasions and i answered twice of them because i didn’t know her number !.. and she would actually start talking to me as if we meet everyday ..as if nothing has happened..as if we are best of friends ! and now..today..again..here she is ..calling me..expecting that i should answer and listen to her talk about what she had for lunch ! i am not sure if what i did is right , i am not sure if the girl is insane or she has made it her mission to make me one ! all i know is that after all these years she still freaks me out , i fear her ..and i know that she is capable of doing everything !..should we not talk to the weird silent deviant-looking girls ? should we treat them as the outcasts they present themselves to be ? is every single one of them a “Bla Bla” waiting to be unleached ? and what the hell am i supposed to do next time she calls ? next time i bump into her ? should i worry about her ? should i worry about myself ? what sort of life does a person like “Bla Bla” have ? how can someone become that way ? ..Questions i have no answers for ..
Your Sincere Sardonic ,
