It was an amazing end to the perfect day
Sun sinking low in the sky
We sat and watched all the dolphins swim in the bay
That crazy look in your eye
Phil sat in his class before lunch, not listening. He was pretty sure the guy behind him was Keely's boyfriend. He couldn't concentrate. He kept thinking of Keely. His mind kept bringing up pictures of her in his head, and he couldn't get rid of them. He looked at the board behind the teacher and tried to listen to what she was saying, but it made no sense. Nothing made sense anymore.
We ran in slow motion over the sand
Into the ocean holding your hand
But then it gets hazy
And I lose you and then that's when
Phil was so wrapped up in thinking of Keely, that when the teacher rapped on his desk, he jumped. "Mr Diffy. Do you know the answer?" She asked.
Phil had no idea. He just said the first word that came into his head. "Um…Keely?"
"So you're saying the square root of pi, is Keely?" The teacher asked.
The class sniggered, and Phil could see Keely's new boyfriend fuming. He shrugged, and kept his head down.
I wake up scared to phone her
Realise I'm a loner in love
It's still the same old story
Tears of morning glory no luck
That's the reason why my life sucks, very much
Being a loner in love
'I did not just do that. Why did I say Keely? It was a math lesson. I could've said any number, but no, I had to say Keely,' Phil thought. People were still laughing at him, and Keely's latest boyfriend was getting madder by the second. The bell went, and Keely's boyfriend stalked up. Phil gulped. What had he done?
The next day I ran into your current boyfriend
Told him what we did last night
Before my story had even got to the end
He challenged me to a fight
I ran in slow motion away from him
But he caught up with me, kicked my teeth in
Now I've got no chance 'cause I can't even grin
No nothing's changed and
"What was that about?" Keely's boyfriend asked.
Phil faked innocence. "What was what about"
"Keely…" The boy mimicked. "You do know I'm dating her, right"
Phil nodded.
"Well then why are you always following her around?" The boy asked, livid now.
Phil was confused. "I'm her best friend"
"Well, not for much longer. I'm going to make her stop seeing you. You obviously like her as more than your best friend, and I don't like that," And with that the boy walked away.
I'm way too scared to phone her
Realise I'm a loner in love
It's still the same old story
Tears of morning glory no luck
That's the reason why my life sucks, very much
Being a loner in love
"Keely!" Pim ran up to her brother's crush and smiled.
Keely looked around ,and then back at Pim. "Wow, you called me Keely".
"Yeah, whatever. Look, I know why my brother is acting weirder than usual. But my mom says I'm not allowed to tell you," Pim grinned.
Keely narrowed her eyes. "Why not?"
"Look, my brother is a bit mixed up. He doesn't know if he wants to be friends with you anymore. But that's all I know. I'm sure there's more to the story," Pim said, trying to act sympathetic. "And he told me to give you this." She handed Keely a note.
Then she was gone, leaving Keely standing, alone and sad in the hallway.
We ran in slow motion over the sand
Into the ocean holding your hand
But then it gets hazy
And I lose you and then that's when
Keely,
I suck at poetry
Laugh like a mule
Only eat junk food
Via says I'm not cool
Everyone say I'm a loser
You deserve a better best friend
Owen will be there for you
Until the very end
Keely looked at the letter, and instantly became confused. What did it mean? It made no sense. It was confusing. She shoved the letter in her pocket, and went to lunch.
I wake up scared to phone her
Realise I'm a loner in love
It's still the same old story
Tears of morning glory no luck
That's the reason why my life sucks, very much
Being a loner in love
Being a loner in love, you know that it sucks
If you don't understand the note, then look down it...
If you didn't understand that, then you don't deserve to know it.
