There should be something about this boyish girl. Her name
is Monica. Besides her name, there was nothing in her look or behavior that
indicated she was a girl.
At school, there was a boy group called ‘the 5 idi0ts’. We
are not idiots, actually, we just liked the way idiots enjoy their lives. We
had closed this group for years and had no intention to add any members; but
this boyish girl came along and made everything changed!
I vividly remember the first day I saw her. I and the other
idiots were chatting while my classmates were presenting. We were like that;
mind you, we were amongst the top 6 outstanding students throughout years in
high school which was rated the 2nd best school in the region.
My teacher interrupted the presentation to welcome a new
student; Monica introduced herself to the class and was told to find a seat for
herself. First row was the most popular seats for ladies and female newcomers,
but Monica was neither a lady nor a girl, as I have mentioned she was boyish!
She went straight to the last row, my territory, pulled a chair and helped herself be seated
like a boss!
We felt strange after being invaded. If it had been a boy,
we would have taught him a good lesson. If it had been a girl, we would have
politely asked her to stay away (haha), but for this combination of male and
female creature, I had no idea how to deal with.
The presentation normally followed by a group discussion; what
was abnormal that day was the fact that we had one more creature to discuss
with. At the first few minutes, we discussed on the strengths and weaknesses of
each presenter, but after that we were talking about Zondas (a kind of extreme
sports that only straight man knows), to our amazement, this creatures knew
about the sport as much as we did. Damn It!
Gradually, she became one of the boys; this creature always
had things to say when it came to our discussion even our boy stuffs! Rule
number one was rewritten after one month of knowing her. There were no 5 idiots
anymore; we had 5 plus 1 instead.
We talked about everything when we met, ranging from
personal issues to family problems. The more my 5 idiots talked, the more we
realized that we knew nothing about our new creature. So we decided to create a
I-wanna-know session; we didn’t have any questions for the 5 of us as we knew
each other every ins and outs. Because of this session, our new creature’s
unveil mystery came into light.
She said she lived with her step father who is cohabiting
with his ex-wife who had divorced four times already. It is weird, it really
is! Her step father was the school principal that was why she could wear pants
to school instead of other female uniform.
“How could this be possible?? Three not-bloody-related
people live under one roof, impossible isn’t it?” Marco, one of the idiots,
interrupted.
“Well, there are four members in the house, a dog of Laura’s
(her dad cohabited partner) first husband also lives with us,”
It didn’t sound right back then but after a few visits at
her house; we could say that her so-called family was better than some other
family who are related by blood or by law. Everyone was there for one another;
they watched TV together and shared things like friends. What really made me
wonder was that why she behaved like a boy and dressed like one. Her room is no
better than the rest of us; one sock was hanging on the air conditioner and the
room was stuffy. The books and her pants are on the floor, on her bed, her
desk… To sum up, the room is damn messy.
