Life Is Weird, So Am I!! Episode 2: True Colours Revealed
Things were going smooth. The word "amigo" did have a special effect on me. As promised, she came to the library. Meeting her everyday after that became a routine. Even as weird as she was, she slowly started making friends and becoming an extrovert, but I stayed the same. I didn't change one bit. Just my same attitude and cold nature.

Its been three months from the day I've met her. After two months, she stopped coming to the library. I've wondered why for a few days, but I gave up after waiting for a week. I've seen her outside with her other friends, even some other guys, so I just left without any word. I still go to the library by myself, plug in my earphones and dive deep into the world the books offer me.

Suddenly one day, she came around the library after college. I was surprised, but I remained cool and greeted her like usual. I saw behind her, only to see all her friends, both guys and girls, follow her to the library. They stayed a few tables away, but kept a close tab on our conversation.

"How come you didn't turn up at the library for a month?" I asked her.

"Well..." it looked as though she was searching for the precise words.

"Busy?" I added.

"Yeah... something like that.." she still seemed unsure.
After a moment of silence, she said:

"Why are you so cold? Why won't you make friends?"

The truth is, I am cold hearted person. I couldn't care less for the ones around me, or even worry about them, but its only to maintain a decent profile that I act like I care. Its this nature of mine that I want to hide so badly, that I want to change so desperate that I became weird. Stuck somewhere between an animal and a human.

"Look, if you're here to try to convince me about making friends, you're just wasting your time. Im not making any friends. Sorry."

"But.... " she tried to say something, but I stood and started to leave the table. That's when her friends stepped and the guys stopped me, and said:

"Where do you think you're going while she's talking? Huh?"
All I had to do was give them a stare. A cold stare. A scary, narrow eyed stare.
So cold, that it scared those guys.
