Was in a little rush to spell check this.. So sorry this isn't proofread. But here is yet another chapter! Enjoy!
The next day at school my mission was to avoid everyone at all costs. Making my way down the hall my eyes searched wearily for anyone I know. As I passed by a window I stopped and noticed my reflection. I saw my brows rise in surprise at the dark circles underneath my eyes. No doubt from the lack of sleep from the previous night. With a low sigh I pat down my hair with no emergency. After I felt decent, I continued my walk. My eyes grew large as I spotted Daisy and Nicole talking together further down. My heart raced as I threw myself into the first empty room I found.
I peeked through the small window. Daisy was shaking her head with fury as Nicole's eyes stayed glued to the floor. Confusion coursed through me as I watched. Nicole looked back up at Daisy as if to try to explain something. After a few seconds Daisy took off leaving a saddened Nicole. Shortly after she took her leave.
What the hell was that all about?
I quickly drew a sigh of relief.
"Avoiding someone now are we?" a voice asks from behind.
I jump in surprise. A pair of blue eyes shimmer from the darkness as Dr. Stonem walks up to me.
"I wouldn't call it… avoiding. Just not wanting to be found." I replied.
The older woman throws a smile at me as she lifts her glasses from the crook of her nose.
"You're hiding from her aren't you?" she asks.
My eyes shoot up. What does she know?
Her blue eyes study me closely as she takes a seat on top of a nearby desk. Her heavy gaze made me uncomfortable. I quickly shift my eyes to the floor.
"I said something that I can never take back." I whisper softly.
"I see." Effy nodded as her eyes continue staring at me. "And how do you feel about it?"
I slumped my back against the door and slid down till my ass hit the floor. I brought my knees to my chest and stared over to the darkest corner in the room. Any place but at the blue eyed woman.
"I feel relieved. Mostly embarrassed now that I think about it. Definitely feeling some regret in there too." I nod.
"You know you remind me of an old friend. Back in high school she was always afraid of letting people in. She always kept people at a distance, never getting close to anyone. But one day she fell in love and it freaked her out."
My eyes lifted up and over to Effy . She was no longer staring at me which made me feel relieved.
"Of course my friend denied it. She kept trying to but it would always end up biting her in the ass. The more she pushed away the more her lover pressed on."
I licked my lips and closed my eyes as I listened to the story.
"Eventually she no longer could hide the way she felt. It took her a long time to accept the way she felt and to let someone in. Once she did that, that's when she found it."
"What's that?" I ask.
"Happiness." She replies simply.
I sighed and rolled my eyes. "And where are they now?"
"Broken up and living hundreds of miles away from each other." She answers.
"What the hell was the point of that story?" I ask incredulously.
"Nothing ever really turns out the way it should be. But if you at least tried to put yourself out there, then you've expressed that you're ready. You're ready to finally let someone in. I know it's hard and it's scary knowing that you're giving so much power to one person. But take it from someone who knows…. Sometimes you don't get another chance."
I watch as the Dr.'s eyes begin to soften as if she were thinking about someone. I could easily see the pain she hid in that moment. Then in a second it was gone and her mask was back up.
"You should go talk to her." Effy responds.
Suddenly the realization hits me.
"How did you know I was a lesbian?" I ask with curiosity.
"You'd be surprised by how much I know." She smirked.
I slowly make my way up to my feet. A smile creeps onto my face.
"Thanks." I nod.
"Goodbye Tea." The doctor smiles. I turn and leave the room feeling 20times better. A big surge of relief hits me as I pull my cell phone from my pocket. I quickly drop down to her name.
Hey meet me after school today in the parking lot.
Suddenly a huge force rams into me. Numerous words of rage were about to come flying out of my mouth until I glanced up and saw Tony. His eyes widened then quickly shifted down to the ground. Confusion hit me.
"Are you alright?" I ask in a concerned voice.
He didn't look up. He just stared at the ground.
"Tony?" I repeated.
"I'm sorry." he whispers.
My eyes furrow as I look at him.
"For what?" I ask.
Wet tears fell from his face. Then he quickly walked past me without another word.
Must be about last night…. When he saw Michelle. He's probably feeling guilty because he still has feelings for her but has been confessing his love for me. He's just feeling sorry for himself. Or maybe this has something to do with Eura.
Immediately guilt ran through me at the last thought. I'll have to talk with him during lunch or something.
I quietly made my way to my class. As I entered all eyes were on me. A couple of people started whispering to each other as I made my way to my seat. I glanced around the room as several people were staring at me. Biting down on my lower lip I quickly glanced down at my desk. Just a coincidence right?
I look back up to see even more people looking over at me.
"Why don't you take a picture you fucking bitches." I growl out.
Everyone turned back around in their seat.
"Damn right." I whisper.
Lunch:
I groggily make my way over to the lunch table. Chris, Stanley, Daisy and Cadie all look up at me as I throw myself into the seat next to Chris.
"Where the hell have you been?" Chris asks.
"The usual. Hungover as shit." I answer.
"I like being hungover. It makes me feel adequate in this place." Cadie throws out.
"Right." Stanley comments as he continues stuffing his face.
"That party was amazing last night. Three chicks took off their bra's and Stanley went streaking!" Chris laughed out loud.
"Hey… we weren't supposed to talk about that." Stanley mumbles out.
"I bet all the girls went gaga over that." I tease.
"Whatever… they freaked at my gorgeous body." Stanley replies.
A small roaring laughter takes over me as I throw my arm around Chris.
"Did I ever tell you how much I love you guys?" I smile.
Daisy doesn't say anything, but keeps her head down.
"You okay Daisy?" I ask noticing her lack of participation.
"Have you talked to Nicole yet?" she asks.
Immediately my face drops down.
"No why?" I ask.
"Nothing." She replies, putting on a fake face.
Something is definitely up. But I know better than to push Daisy. When you push, she pushes back. I'll just wait till another time.
"Have any of yall seen Tony? He kinda looks like shit today." I throw out.
"Yeah, I did but he didn't really talk to me. He just asked me where you were." Chris replies.
"I'm worried about him." I sigh glancing down at my hands.
"Hey old friends." A voice sounds at our table.
We all glance up to see Michelle standing at our table.
"Michelle." Stanley smiles widely.
She ignores his comment and stares directly at me.
"I'm surprised you even came to school today." She smirks.
I laugh lightly as I eye her expectantly.
"No offense… but I'm not like you who pulls a Tara Reid and hides away like a little bitch." I reply.
"No you tend to fuck your best friends boyfriend." She snaps.
"Was there a point to this conversation?" I ask with annoyance.
"Talked with your girlfriend today?" A dark smirk crosses her face.
"No…" I reply.
"Omg! You don't know do you?" Michelle puts on a fake dramatic act.
"Michelle stop it!" Daisy quickly replies.
"This is too good to be true." Michelle chuckles.
"Don't do this." Daisy warns.
"Why shouldn't I? Shouldn't I get the right to break her heart since she's broken mine." She snaps.
"Think about what you're doing!" Daisy quickly stands to her feet.
"This isn't any of your business." Michelle replies.
"After all those years of friendship with her you're going to just throw them away?" Daisy asks.
"What the fuck is going on?" I ask rising to my feet.
"PLEASE MICHELLE I'M BEGGIN YOU!" Daisy shouts.
Everything is silent as Michelle eyes me viciously. She smack her lips and shakes her head at me.
"And now you're going to know what it feels like." She states. Then with one final glance she takes off. My eyes flicker back to Daisy. Immediately she grabs her things and takes off.
Stunned by the whole situation I sit back down blankly.
"I'm soo confused!" Chris throws out.
"Me too." Stanley joins in.
"What the hell is going on?" I huff out with frustration.
Think you know what happened? Let me know what you think! Sorry it's been a while UD… FORGIVE ME! :D
