"And – I told her how I am… inside."
"And do you believe me NOW?"
"Yes- sorry dude. I guess I just got kind of- angry- remembering the olden days."
"Olden days? It's been a while since I've heard THAT one-no pun intended."
"Whatever!" I rolled my eyes, as we both crashed on the couch (sitting, not on top of each other).
"Knock, knock!" My eyes immediately shot to the door. Oh shit- why is HE here?
I remained speechless- jaw dropped and everything. If HE is out- than that means that HE is out- possibly. It's not like they caught him doing anything else besides selling drugs to my arch nemisis.
"Fitz?" Adam shrieked and hit my shoulder with the back of his hand- motioning me to look even though I evidently know who he is.
"What are you doing here?" I shot out at him, trying my best not to cause any conflict.
"What? I'm attending here- and this was the only room with a little extra leg room. I mean, with a campus of 2,000, you can't expect for there to be tons of extra space." Uhhh- I feel sick.
"Dude- Eli- Eli- Eli-"
"What, Adam?"
"Are you ok, you don't look too good."
"I'm f- I'm fine!"
"Now, now, no need to be feisty!"
"Eli- man- look- I'm sorry about the past, I've changed. I know I was kind of a jerk, but I hope that won't change anything." What? 'won't change anything' that's bullshit- a big load of bullshit.
"Nah- it's ok- consider the battle over." Oh no- why did I say that? "Uhh- I gotta be somewhere- but I hope you two hit it off!" Adam glared at me. "No- I didn't mean it like that- I meant- nevermind- I just have to go!"
"WHY?" I screamed as the elevator went down. The door opened in the midst of my scream- while people looked at me with odd expressions. "Uhhhh- I- uh- lost my pen!" They all just shrugged and continued on with their life. It's not as if weird stuff doesn't happen to me anyways…
I dialed Claire's number- "Hey- could I stay in your dorm tonight?"
"Uhhhh- Natasha and I were gonna go hang off campus. Just a girl's night- I'm sorry!"
"Ugh! Whatever- have fun!" I hung up. "Because I know I won't…" My whiney teenager voice hit me again… Wow- this sucks. Stupid Natasha! Why did her and Claire become good friends? WHY?
Oh! My phone buzzed! Maybe I CAN stay at Claire's! Oh- wait- it's just a text from Adam… "Dude! Fitz is totally criminal free! I swear! Come back!"
"No! How do you know that for sure!"
"He did volunteer work with children in Alberta! He's totally changed! Hasn't committed a single crime!"
"Fine- I'll come back- but that doesn't mean I'll trust him!"
Later that night…
So I walk into the dormitory, with the sight of Fitz and Adam laughing at some old cartoon. They hadn't seen me yet. "Adam, dude, why does Eli hate me so much? I said I was sorry for what I did- it's not like I go pounding on anyone's face right now."
"Well, he's a stubborn one- I haven't ever been in a serious fight with him, so I can't really tell you what to do."
"Yeah- and I mean, I don't know if he knew anything about what I did in high school." Wait- how do I not know? The dude tormented me just about every day!
"Well- you did leave him a bit traumatized! But only just a bit!"
"*sigh* …I know… And I feel really bad for kissing Claire those few times- but I was a totally different person then!"
It was very well silent in there as my thoughts… I'm kinda baffled- what am I supposed to do? "those few times," really? Really? And Claire didn't even tell me. I don't even know what to think or who to believe anymore…
…I'm so skipping out this week.
No more of this.
I don't want anything to do with him.
