"It's a long story." Paul finally said after looking at his plate for a minute.
"We have time." I told him.
"It's complicated." He replied.
"Try me."
"It's not my story to tell." He tried again.
"Okay." I said. He looked relieved thinking I would drop it. I didn't. Leah looked broken and I wanted to know why. Call me nosy but I knew whatever was going on went much deeper than just what I saw. When we went over there it didn't even look like anyone cared the she was alone or in the corner or that her eyes looked so sad. Well I wanted to know why.
"Do you ever try to talk to her?" I asked him.
"No." he snorted.
"You all don't hang out with Leah? None of you?" I implored. This time he laughed.
"Hang out with Leah?" He repeated. "No one hangs out with Leah. No wants to hang out with Leah."
"Why not? Don't those other girls talk to Leah?" I asked getting a little offended even though we weren't even talking about me.
"No. We don't because we just don't." He told me. That wasn't an answer.
"Why not?" I asked once again. He looked like he was getting anoyed.
"Because she's a bitch!" He yelled. "Not even her own brother wants to hang around with her. And the other girls don't hang around her because they're smart. And if you're smart you wont hang around her either."
I looked at him in shock. Not only had he just yelled at me, insulted me and told me not to hang around Leah but he called her a B, and all in my own house! I couldn't believe it. And her own brother didn't want to hang around her. What could she have possibly done that would make them hate her. I was mad now.
Not at Leah but at those around her treating her like trash. I knew Paul was a jerk but now I knew that all of them were jerks. I didn't want to hang around people who saw someone in pain and didn't do anything about it. In fact they only added to it! I didn't want to associate with people like that. Although I didn't know Leah's story, I could some how just feel her pain. And Paul! Who did he think he was?! I was the biggest idiot to ever decide to hang around him.
I looked down and shook my head in disappointment. Placing my plate on the table I got up and walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" He called.
"I think you need to go Paul." I told him looking at the floor.
"What?" He asked in shock.
"Go Paul. Please."
"Xandra I'm sorry." He apologized. It was a little late for 'sorry'.
"Paul now. Go please." I said holding the door open wider.
"Xandra--" He trailed.
"Leave Paul!" He looked at me with sad eyes and slowly stood up. He picked up his plate and made his way to the door. When he was outside the door he turned to face me.
"Xandra please. I'm so so sorry." He begged. And he did look sorry but looking sorry wasn't enough.
"Goodbye Paul."
"Can I come by tomorrow?" He pleaded.
"I don't think so Paul. I need to think." I said. He looked pathetic. Oh well, there was nothing I could do to fix that. "Goodbye Paul." I said once more before closing the door in his face. I heard a whimper and then a thump against the door. I hoped he wouldn't stay out there all night because I wasn't letting him back in. I should have stayed away from him in the first place. Good thing the real him came out before I got attached that would be a disaster.
I could barely finish the plate of food. I'd lost my appetite, but there were too many people with less for me to just waste food. After eating I took a shower before engaging in my favorite activity...Reading. Soon I fell asleep, but not for long. I awoke some time late to a pitiful howl outside my window. I would have been scared if I wasn't so annoyed. Why was it that whenever I had a run in with Paul, a stupid wolf would show up again? I groaned and put my pillow over my head hoping to get some sleep.
