"Yep. Let's go."
"Wait...Seymore...you think he likes me? What about Sicilia? Do you think he likes her? He does like me more...doesn't he?"
"I don't know, and I don't care either, because this is not my business, and I don't give a darn about Seymore and his love life."
"Well! I don't care about you either!" She stormed off leaving Tom to try and figure out what had just happened. He was dumbfounded, and two older students nearby looked at him with the same look he looked at her with.
"Hey, kid, she has a serious attitude problem...you better watch out for her."
"Yeah, cuz she is gonna eat your heart out when you grow up, and you are gonna fall for her." And Tom walked out confused and lost in his own mind. He was caught in despair, trying to understand why everyone was so loving here. Had there not been a rivalry going on at the school for centuries? Why did everyone know about love except him? When did he get left out and thrown to the wayside as trash? Tom was never the one to be forgotten, he was the main focus in everything, yet now, he didn't even seem to exist.Why had he been forgotten now?
"Sicilia! Wait! Slow down a minute!! Hello?"
"Seymore? Are you following me? What are you doing here?"
"I'm following you, yeah, and I am going to the dorms to hang out because I have nothing else to do."
"Hey! Seymore! Sicilia! Wait for me!!"
"Beckah, what do you want?" Sicilia snapped in a jealous voice. Seymore suddenly felt a war coming on that he could not escape.
"You know what, Sicilia, if I wanted to tell you, I aready would have." Was the cold response of Beckah. Seymore tried to edge away, but two harsh glares yelled at him to stay put. Not being an expert on women, he decided to stay.
"Why are you down here? Where did you dump Tom?"
"He was being stupid and blabbing on about how smart you were and could be, but his heart was broken when I told him he was badly mistaken. Poor guy, didn't realize you were an idiot."
"Are you sure you two weren't talking about yourselves?"
"Yes I am positive-"
"Could you guys...uh...fight somewhere else?"
"Who do you think you are?"
"I am...uh...well......" He leaned up against the wall and crossed his arms while staring at the floor. The girls glared at each other. It seemed that a ray of fire was shooting between their eyes, and that is where the war started.
"He is mine, Beckah. Don't go trying to get fish that are too big for your rod."
"take your own advice."
"If you had any brains, you would try it first, but then, you are the one who thinks of everything but what you need to think about."
"At least I think."
"Oh, so that is what that steam coming out of the back of your head is, and all this time I thought it was your hair style."
"Well, at least I don't look like a skunk." With that, Seymore busted into laughter, and Sicilia looked as though she could cry. He realized his fatal error and immediately shut his mouth. he wanted to turn time back and punch himself for his outburst.
"So, you agree? And...I thought you cared! Maybe I am an idiot!"
"No, Sicilia, wait! I was not laughing at you, I was laughing at Beckah! Because you had great comebacks and she only insulted people, you went on wit! I was not laughing at you!"
"Sure, you are probably just saying that so I don't kick you in the balls and laugh when you fall to the ground."
"No, listen to me! I was not lying!" She was about to walk away, but Seymore grabbed her arm and wouldn't let her go.
"Let go!"
"Then trust me! And I will not let you go until you say that you still like me!"
"Well, you are going to be standing here a long time."
"Then I will stand here." And she tried to twist away, but he pulled her arm behind her back and held her where she couldn't move away. She squirmed for a minute, and then they just stood there. Neither seemed to notice that Beckah had left and Tom was staring at them in absolute horror, he obviously seemed to have missed too much to say anything. He decided that it would be best for him to leave and keep his mouth shut.
"You...weren't kidding were you..."
"No, I was not, I am not going to give you up."
"You...are...in lovewithmearen'tyou..."
"Slow down, Sicilia Moore...yes, I am in love with you."
"........you....." And she fell limp, out cold. Passed out with glee and happiness combined with shock and horror. Seymore soon felt the horror of the fact that he would have to carry Sicilia in to the dormitory and explain what happened, but he went in through the portrait that Toran told him about. None of the other students wre in the common room, so he could easily lay her on the couch and sit across frm her to think. he was in love for the first time in his entire life, and he had no clue what he had been missing. He was glad to know that he cuold be sitting with his forever sacrifice, with his dream come true, with his guardian angel. Sicilia Andrea Moore. The beautiful girl that sat in front of him with a faint smile on her face. She may have been asleep, but she still meant everything to him. It was an amazing feeling. Absolutely fantastic. He didn't know where he was, what time it was, or anything of the sort. He was just...peaceful. In peaceful child love. And that is the only way to describe true love, as the love that a child feels for its parents when it can only depend on them for survival. He had his dependent now, and she sat and fell in his eyes. She, though only so young, was what he needed for all eternity. They were immediately bonded, love at first sight, and the love that flowed between them was unbreakable. Yes, Seymore was happy.
"Seymore...what did you do to her...?"
"Tom? I...didn't do anything...her...what do you mean?"
"Snap into reality!! Seymore? You there?"
"Answer it for yourself and I will get back to you when you know." And with that he sighed and fell into a deep sleep on the couch next to Sicilia. Tom was left again with no one. He had yet again been forgotten, and it seemed that no one cared if he were to dissapear. So he decided to dissapear and hide into his oblivion of nothing. At least there he would be happy. And would not have to run from anything, because he was hidden forever...
