Chapter Two is here!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot and my insane ideas!
Demi's POV
When I got home I parked my Porsche in the driveway and went inside my house. The house may be big and welcoming on the outside but on the inside it's just my personal Hell, the place where everything was cold and silent. My family hadn't been a family in years, my dad was always at work and it was quite obvious he was sleeping around with someone else and my mom covered her pain with constant shopping and alcohol. When I walked past the living room I saw her sleeping on the couch, most likely passed out considering the empty bottle of whiskey on the carpeted floor. I grumbled something and then continued my way up the stairs and into my room. I threw down my purse and plopped on the bed as my cell phone started to vibrate, indicating I had a text message. I saw a picture of Joe flashing which meant it was him and I held back the need to groan in annoyance.
Joe: Hey babe
Demi: I told you not to call me that :(
Joe: Whatever, we still on for tonight?
Demi: I'm not in the mood Joe, just spend time with your brothers or something
Joe: But I wanna spend time with you X(
Demi: NOT TONIGHT
I groaned and put my phone down and he didn't text maybe, at least he was smart enough to get a clue. Joe got on my nerves sometimes because of how dumb he was and how he was such a cliché when it came to the captain of the football persona. I mean I'm not the smartest chick ever but at least I work hard in school, he just breezes by because of his football scholarships. I stopped thinking of Joe and started thinking about Selena, my Selena. I knew she hadn't been mine since that summer before high school started but I still considered her mine, and not because I had demanded for her to be my little pet monkey. Selena was mine because I knew everything about her, every little thing and even though we I hadn't been a good friend for a couple years I hoped she still remembered me. I knew that she hated eating things that rhymed with something disgusting, she didn't eat carrots because it had the word ROT in it which was funny. She loved puppies, she didn't care what anyone thought of her, and she had an amazing family…way better than mine at least. I knew I was hurting her with my constant verbal abuse and from today a bit of physical abuse but it wasn't entirely my fault, she hurt me first. She went away that summer and forgot all about me, no phone calls, no text messages, I was alone. Over the summer I decided that I didn't need Selena and her big brown eyes, or her soft skin, or her full lips.
"Snap out of it Demi" I said aloud, shaking myself from my own reverie.
Selena tried talking to me once she got back but I was no one's second choice and there was no exception for her either. So instead of just being sad and depressed over the situation I just repressed my growing love for her, that didn't mean it didn't happen though. The more I realized I was in love with her I started treating her more and more badly. One time in our sophomore year I had seen Selena in the girls' locker room after our shared gym class and she was taking off her shirt, I just wanted to grab her and kiss her. But instead of that I just hid her clothes with some of my 'friends' and watched her panic while she tried to find them, she ended up calling her mom and having her bring her a change of clothes. I didn't want to hurt Sel but it was the only way to make sure I didn't get my heart broken in the process.
Selena's POV
I was in my 3rd period class which is French and I happen to have this period with Demi, and I sit right next to her. I had begged the teacher to switch my seat but she had said that I would be fine right where I was. I was trying to focus on the words that Ms. Fry was saying. (A/N: I was eating French fries when I was typing this and that just popped up lol)
Suddenly I felt a hand brush up against my arm and I looked to my left and saw Demi staring at me and I looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"What do you want"? I hissed and she smiled slightly.
"Meet me at my car during lunch" she whispered back and then she moved her hand and left me to wonder what she was going to make me do.
When lunch time rolled around I was walking with Nick down the hall and we were walking in the direction for the cafeteria. Nick was talking about this cool game he had purchased the day before and how he couldn't wait for me to come over and play. Nick was my only friend in school and he's really cute with his brown curls and his brown eyes but he's not popular like his older brother Joe because he's super good at school and he has all the qualities of a classic nerd. Even though Joe's a year older than Nick he's still in senior year, he claims he started school late but everyone knows he's not that bright so it's obvious he got held back. I was about to tell Nick I wasn't going to lunch when I felt someone grab my arm and I looked behind me and saw Demi, she didn't look pleased.
"C'mon" she said and she was about to pull me away from Nick when he stopped her.
"What're you doing, leave her alone" he demanded and Demi glared at him, that glare was enough to make me flinch.
"Back off dork or I swear I'll have the basketball team stuff you in the net" Demi said and she meant it, it was in her eyes.
"It's fine Nick" I said and he looked at me and looked like he was about to protest.
"I'll be over your house to play that cool game" I said and he blushed slightly and nodded while Demi pulled me out toward the parking lot.
Demi's POV
I'm not gonna to lie, seeing Selena with Nick pissed me off to an extent. I mean Nick's a nice guy and everything I wouldn't usually give two shits about who he was crushing on but the girl he was crushing was Selena, the girl I'm in love with. I first found out that he liked her when I was over Joe's house one time last year and I had went in Nick's room because I was simply curious. I saw pictures of Selena and him making goofy faces and I wasn't jealous, they looked pictures any friend would take with best guy friend. But then I saw his computer open and like any nerd he had a typed diary and he had left it open. His last entry made me want to throw up because of how he talked about Selena, it was like on the brink of obsession. He talked about how he wished he could brush her long dark brown hair and how he loved everything, even how she rolled her eyes and ate her food. Ever since then I have hated Nick and nothing can change my mind.
"What did you do that for"? Selena demanded of me as I finally released her arm when we were by my car.
"I told you to meet me by my car and instead you were heading off to lunch with Dick" I said, crossing my arms.
"His name is Nick and I was about to tell him that I was meeting you for lunch" Selena said icily and I ignored her tone.
"Get in" I said and that seemed to take her by surprise but she got in the car anyway.
We drove in silence for about five minutes and then I parked at the diner that the high school kids use as a bit of a hangout on weekends and a lot of seniors come here during lunch to eat good food, that's one of the perks of being a senior.
"Well don't just sit there, c'mon" I said as I got out the car and Selena followed and we both walked into the diner and there were a couple kids there and they greeted me as we walked past but when they saw Selena there were looks of confusion on their faces.
Selena and I sat down in a booth and a waitress who seemed to be a friend of Selena's walked over and smiled at her.
"Hey Selena, long time no see" she said and I saw Selena shift uncomfortably.
"Hey Diane, yeah I've been pretty busy" she muttered and I noticed how Diane stared at Selena with that flirtatious gleam in her eye.
We ordered our food and Diane glanced at Selena one last time before she walked away to get our food and beverages. Selena seemed uncomfortable after she left and I knew why. Another reason for me being angry at Selena all these years was because she was so much stronger than me, mentally at least. She had come straight out of the closet and everyone knew that she was gay, it was probably one of the reasons she didn't have any friends besides Nick who still pined for her.
"So you and Sarah Sue over there"?I asked lightly and she looked at me.
"What do you mean"? She asked and I knew she was playing dumb.
"Well the way she was gazing at your chest and the way she kept staring at you with that stupid smile on her face probably means you fucked her" I said bluntly and Selena blushed.
"She's just an old friend" she said lowly and I shrugged.
"Why would I care"? I asked but the truth was I did care, it hurt to know that Selena had had sex with other girls.
"So is this what being your slave is like"? Selena asked while we were eating.
"Well after this your gonna help me with some things around my house" I said and Selena looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"After this"? She asked and I nodded.
"You can miss the last three periods right"?I asked and she gazed at me and sighed.
"I suppose I don't have any other choice" she mumbled and I smiled brightly and I could've swore I saw her smile back a little.
"Too right you are Selly" I said and I sipped my soda.
