Schroeder
Today was the beginning of the rest of my life. I walked around like a tiger, I high fived and greeted at least half of the school population. I don't even know them all!!
I walked with a skip on my steps, I was full on buzzing!! And you might be weirded out because last time, I was for sure struggling.
Did I accept my predicament? What happened?
Well, let's just say, Lucy's upset with me. Like really real upset.
But it wasn't easy at all when I arrived at our next class. I see her and she wasn't even looking at me. Like she decided to forget I even existed.
"It's not too late to call it off and just apologize Schroeder.." Charlie Brown whispered but I brushed it off with, "I won't call it off".
I know Charlie and the others are disapproving but aren't they supposed to be happy? Lucy has been hurtful too. When she speaks up too much of her mind, when she always gets what she wants, why are they so against it for?
I would glance at Lucy from time to time but when she occasionally catches my glances, she frowns and whips her head away.
I'm not completely heartless, I feel guilty too.
But, I shouldn't be feeling this way! Lucy will get over it and me, understanding that I'm actually right, we're meant to be apart.
So. Yeah, congrats to me.

📀 EARLIER
Our teacher spoke through the speaker, announcing to everyone that a school event will be held. A contest, but the jist is, it'll be in groups of two, it's gonna be a part of our final project.
Everybody began to scramble and choose their partners. As usual, Lucy came running to me with a big smile on her face.
With my many failures of pushing her away, I was already fed up and tired to even tolerate Lucy so I burst.
"NO! I DON'T WANT TO BE PARTNERS WITH YOU!" I shouted.
Everybody grew quiet and stopped to look at us, I suddenly felt nervous and saw the look of surprise on Lucy's face.
What should I do?
My hands turning into a fist on my sides, not looking her in the eyes. "I wasn't doing all of that yesterday because I like being close to you, it's the opposite".
"What? What's wrong Schroeder? That's not true" Lucy said, startled.
"Just like that, you never listen to me and always follow whatever makes you happy!"
I could see Lucy's face contorting into a defensive frown, "that's not true".
"It is!! You always want to do things your way!! Bossing me around and your sarcastic remarks when it came to my ideas!!" I was frustrated.
"That's not true at all!!" Lucy was now yelling back as well.
"It is!"
"Fine then! If you don't want to be partners, go find someone else to fill my spot!!" She shouted back.
Lucy began to walk and look around our classmates, grabbing Franklin by the hand and leading him with her, "he will be my partner!!".
I groaned and began to look around as well, Charlie and my other friends were already taken, I don't want to humiliate myself like this Infront of everyone.
Until, Frieda steps out.
"I don't have a partner yet Schroeder" her voice is soft-spoken, "I can be your partner".
Then I thought about it, maybe she'll be a great partner, she does seem responsible or perhaps she has a hidden talent. A harp player? Lyre? Piano? So I agreed.
"Yes! Yes you can!" I decided.
I turned back to Lucy and she was staring intensely at me, her eyebrows furrowed, it almost scared me.
"Hmph!" Before turning away with Franklin.
The room shifted awkwardly before it came back to its normal atmosphere.

📀 PRESENT
"yo Schroeder!" A kid waved at me, one of the ones I high fived earlier.
"hey!!" I smiled, pretending to remember him before going to my desk.
I was packing my things when Frieda came up to me once more, "thrilled to be joining you in this contest Schroeder! I was told you were the best pianist around here".
I think it's more like, I'm the only one. "Thank you, I'm thrilled too".
Frieda smiled and nodded, "yes, ofcourse you are, you do have the girl with naturally curly hair as your partner!"
....
Oh boy.
