Today, I told myself to get up and just smile. Because today... I woke up without having to think about Nathan for a second. Today, I started eating my favorite peanut butter biscuits again and today, I'm gonna look my best because I'm starting a new chapter of my life.
Those little cheesy baby steps I took are my new beginning. Well today, I'm going to enjoy being cheesy. Starting with telling myself that cheesy qoute everyone says "Single and ready to mingle"! So today I'm letting myself out of that shell I held myself in all those months. I'm gonna put on a little bit of red lipstick (why red?) because I'm feeling sexy today and I'm going out that door with a smile!
Today dad drove me up to school. I just love those car drives with dad, he talks, jokes and laughs all the way. Unless he's bothered about something, he would just pour out his anger on me, but in a cute way though. Dad noticed that I was smiling today and asked me about it,
"What's with the happy face today Bianca?" He asked sarcastically.
"It's nothing dad" I replied trying to hide my smile by looking out of the window.
"Whatever or whoever kept that smile on your face keep it up honey, you look prettier smiling", dad answered.
"I will daddy!"
By that time I arrived at school, but this time I was early! I walked in and met up with Alison. Alison has been my friend since the 6th grade but we only got closer a year after we met. She's a tree to anyone who's five feet tall and the skinniest amongst all of her class mates. Very fair skinned and really pretty! It's funny how we got close actually, we aren't even in the same class.
Actually, it was through Alison by which I got to meet Nathan earlier this year. Oh well, that was the past and I'm not looking that way ever again. By the way! My studies.. The last time I looked at my history marks.. I failed. Yea that's really my big regret right now. Failing studies because I made my life revolve around a guy. And that's a lesson I'm going to learn from, my whole life.
Honestly, I'm not thinking about love anymore. I'm gonna shut out every guy who's going to try to get close to me and I'm going to finally take control of my life. Besides, having my friends, a mini fridge in the corner of my room and my phone, what else do I need? I'll meet the right guy in the right time but the right time isn't right now or the next ten years....
But hey...! Guy friends won't harm me.. So yea, I met this guy and we turned out to be good friends. His name was Rob, he walked me to class everyday, talked to me everyday, was always there and always put up a smile on my face. I'll admit, there were a few moments where he and I you can say "clicked".
I don't know how to describe those moments really. But Rob was just a brother to me, I'd never ever picture myself with him. EVER. He's a brown haired, chubby, tall, geeky guy who wore glasses only in class so he wouldn't get embarrassed by the way they looked on him. He had that "trying to look hot" geeky walk which of course doesn't end up looking "hot" like he wants it to.
Me and Rob got so close and he was practically my big bro. I could tell Rob anything, even girl related stuff. He would still understand! He also helped me through getting over Nathan. We were good friends. Rob then introduced me to one of his best-friends, Samuel. Samuel was a layed back type of person and was more mature and understanding than Rob.
Sadly, I got closer to Samuel more than Rob and like all good things, some of them has to come to an end. So the friendship between me and Rob was officially over. The thing is you just just feel like Sam understands you more, and he's always there and shows that he cares, but as a brother Ofcorse. I didn't want another relationship. Friendships are perfectly fine to me at the moment. So I drew a line. Me and Samuel stayed friends until the end of the year, but there came a phase, I stopped talking to literally everybody for like two weeks.
Here's why.
I wokeup , and I think it was one week before our final exams to come. I wokeup with severe pain that felt like a knife stabbing it's way along my spine. My legs felt paralyzed and I couldn't even shift my position or even sleep on my arm like I normally do. The pain was so agonizing that I cried for 2 straight hours and stupid of me. I couldn't think, that I just waited until my parents woke up and came to my room.
I was rushed to the hospital but even the rushing process was painful. I literally couldn't move any part of my body. My dad had to put his hand on the back of my head and back just to lift me off the bed. Because if he pulled me by my arms, I would've screamed out of the pain I would've gotten. I'm not even exaggerating, in fact the way I'm describing the pain is only half of how it really felt. My aunt even came to dress me up and make myself look a bit decent to go out.
It felt horrible. You feel like you've suddenly turned into a handicapped person and all of the horrendous type of thoughts crawled up into my mind. What's going on with me? Am I seriously going to stay like this all my life? Am I even normal? And the thoughts went on and on.... Especially when I saw a wheel chair waiting for me outside of our car.
I'm at a age where I should be able to do everything on my own. I don't need help!
I was so mixed up by my thoughts and feelings that I just felt like I wanted to cry all over again.. But I held it in. I wanted to feel strong, atleast for a little bit.
We waited for a while until my turn into the doctors office. So the nurse gave me a magazine to go through while waiting. Though my fingers were sore and swollen I pushed my self into turning the pages. Atleast if I can't walk I had to push my self atleast into turning a page.
When the time had finally come to enter into the doctors office, the nurse rushed me in. We first went into a doctor specialized in bones, but then he said I don't treat such cases and he transferred me to a doctor who was a rheumatologist (re-yuma-to-logist) who can treat my case as the doctor described.
So when we went in, he asked me what have I been feeling.. Tired? Any face rashes? Where was the pain mostly comming from? And so on. Actually, I was tired the whole time and slept for almost the full day. Rashes? Whenever I meet up with sunlight my friends ask me if I'm wearing blush! And pain? Swollen fingers first thing in the morning.. And then mostly pain and pressure on my knees.
So we kept on discussing the symptoms I was getting and stuff. Then he said," these symptoms you are getting are mostly related to the disease, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. But we have to carry out a couple of blood tests to make sure that that is what you have."
The minute I heard the name, It felt like a heavy rock passing through my esophagus.. I even doubt that you even read the name right. The doctor then prescribed me a pill and said that the pain will go and everything will be back to normal, he also gave me an injection and then I was on my way home.
When I arrived home, I could walk a bit. I guess the pills took their effects.. So I had my dinner and called it a night.
