Chapter 10
Callie's POV
"Wow Callie, you just swept me off my feet with that comment. Get the hell out of my bed and away from me, before I throw you out".
I get up and go lie in my bed. I don't want to fight her anymore, not when I'm in this state of mind. Telling the truth is something good, and is something I've always heard I needed to do. Now ,I've told her the truth and she hates me, that I'm positive of. Tomorrow will not be a good day. I'm going to have a huge hangover tomorrow and it will be very difficult to hide it from the teachers.
Crap.
How did I get here? From being happy to being drunk and alone, again. I'm not an alcoholic. God, I'm in high school, but when I feel like this alcohol is the only thing that helps me. My good friend, Cristina, introduced me to it. Slowly I drift off to sleep or I just pass out.
[[4 hours later]]
I wake up and the sun is shining through the blinds. Ouch! My eyes, my head, and my whole body is aching. I turn around and I see Arizona searching for something in her bag. She looks so beautiful, being all stressed out over what to wear. She woke me up by making noise. I didn't even think about setting my alarm clock. It's 7 am , I look like crap, and classes start at 8.30.
"Crap, I should have unpacked yesterday. Now I'm the idiot that doesn't know what to wear." I hear her say and immediately I give out a small laugh.
She has her back to me and I can see that she tenses when she hears me laughing. She turns around and I'm hoping that I'll be able to see a smile. Instead all I see is a worn out Arizona looking pissed as ever. She looks like she's about to say something, but changes her mind. As if I'm not worthy of hearing her speak and in her opinion, maybe I'm not.
I throw my head back onto the pillow. I can't believe I screwed up like this. She's still searching for something. Why is she looking for something to wear when we have the school uniforms?
"Arizona?" She ignores me. "Arizona" She turns around and looks at me. "Why are you looking for something to wear?" I smile at her but she frowns at me.
"Um, maybe because I don't want to go looking like a bum or something." I smile at her, but she looks annoyed. "Are you still drunk?" I start to laugh and I can't stop, I guess I am still drunk.
"Sch…oool…uni…form..s" Is all I can get out.
"What? If you think that I find you funny you're wrong." I thought she was going to maybe laugh a little with me, but no.
"We have the uniforms remember?" Suddenly, I can see the light in her head go off.
"Yeah…right I knew that…thanks" She wouldn't admit it for the world that she forgot about it. With that, she turns around and takes the uniform. She starts to take of her shirt, but stops. "Do you mind?" she asks.
"Mind what?" What does she mean?
"Turning around." She says with no expression at all.
"Oh..um..yeah..yes of course." With that I turn around. I can't help to feel a bit hurt. I mean maybe I shouldn't be able to watch her change, but still.
"You can turn around now… or whatever" When I turn around I see her standing in a black checkered skirt with a white shirt tucked in. She's wearing a black tie, a bit loosely, with knee high white socks. She looks like someone from Gossip Girl, but hotter. I can feel that my jaw is dropped and that I'm drooling just a little. She noticed and looked a bit smug. However, she didn't know that I saw it.
I snap out of my stare and look at the alarm, it's 7.30. I have one hour to shower, get ready and stop smelling and feeling like a drunk. Or I'm simply going to call in sick, on the first day. I feel really lucky that they didn't notice that I came in so late.
"So are you going to go to class or what?" She asks me and I'm surprised. This means she cares!
"I think I'm going to sit this one out actually." I say and she nods an okay to me. I think I'm crossing a line now. "Would you mind kind of validating my story of being sick today?" Her face tells me that I crossed a line.
"Let me get this straight, you left me all alone and hurt I might add. Got drunk, kissed a guy, came back crying trying to get me back, and now you want me to help you? Her voice is dripping with anger mixed with sarcasm.
I don't really say anything, instead I'm giving her my puppy eyes, which aren't working, not even the teary ones.
With that she leaves.
Arizona's POV
I haven't slept tonight, hence the whole searching for clothes to wear. I can't believe I forgot about that and let Calliope tell me about it. One more thing I can't believe is that she wants me to help her after what she put me through, the nerve.
I get in to class and sit in the middle. They even have assigned seats. The person that is supposed to sit next to me is no one other than, Calliope Torres, my roommate. The class fills up and I'm the only one sitting alone. I can see Teddy and Lexie. They look confused by Calliope's absence but I don't get the chance to talk to them before the teacher comes in. The teacher is a red headed guy. He almost looks a bit young to be a teacher at a school like this. He also looks familiar.
"Hi girls, my name is Owen Hunt. I'm going to be your class teacher and your teacher in biology and chemistry. Later today you'll all talk to Mrs Bailey, the guidance counselor. She'll help you with your schedules and classes. Everybody will have the talk and your schedule is light today so that everyone gets the chance." Good, Bailey, my number one fan.
He goes through the whole list and when he says Calliope Torres no one answers. He then looks over at a post-it, she probably called in sick. The rest of the hour goes on quickly and when we finish I try to get the hell out as fast as I can. I have 2 hours until the next class and I'm going to need some sleep if I have to deal with Calliope and Bailey. I follow the rest of the girls before I hear Mr Hunt.
"Miss Robbins!" I flinch when he says my name. "Can I have a word with you?" What now?
"Yes sir" I walk over to his desk.
"Your roommate Miss Torres wasn't here this morning. I got a note saying that she's sick, but somehow I feel like it's not the whole truth. You know missing the first day of school usually tends to have a backstory, you don't know something maybe?"
Great
I have two choices. Either to mess her up which would lead to her being expelled or lie to him. He is an authority so that could be a problem. I can feel the tears coming.
"Miss Robbins are you crying?" He looks sincerely worried.
"Yeah um I'm fine, I have allergies" I lie.
"Okay, you should see the school nurse. Well I won't stall you, I'm sure you'll make sure your friend is fine. I was in the army you know." I look up at him. "And over there you learn that you should stick up to your buddies and help them. Keep them safe and don't let anyone hurt them." Why is he talking about this? I bet he knows. Crap. "So I think you should use that motto here with your roommate. That would be all Miss Robbins." He starts to look through his papers and I start to walk away.
"By the way Arizona, youre brother was a good man, you should be proud." I barely heard what he said. He knew Ted? I freeze and now I know where I know him from. He was at the door telling me that Ted was dead. I've blocked out that day from my mind, I don't even turn to face him, and I walk to my room. This is a really crappy day. I try to keep the tears to myself, but it's hard.
When I get back to the room I see Calliope standing and fixing her hair. I turn away because I don't want her to see me cry. My attempt of hiding it failed. I can feel her coming closer to me. She can hear my sobs.
"Are you okay?" She asks softly before putting her hand on my shoulder. I need her near me. Right now, I don't care what she I did I want her. Now.
I turn around and kiss her. At first she is shocked, but she lets me kiss her anyway.
Callie's POV
My plan was to take a shower before Arizona came back, maybe I could go to some of the classes today. While I was fixing my hair she came back and I could tell that she was sad even though she had her back to me.
"Are you okay" I had to ask.
She doesn't answer me with words. She kisses me and at first I feel like there's something wrong. I can feel that my cheek is getting wet, she's crying. She deepens the kiss and we're using our tongues.
How can something this good feel wrong? I pull away slightly.
"Ariz-" I try to speak, but she interrupts me.
"No, please Callie don't ruin this moment." She pins me to the wall and I can feel that she unbuttons my shirt while kissing my collarbone. Oh god, this feels good, but it's so wrong.
"Arizona, I'm enjoying this a lot, but one hour ago you hated me and now you're doing all these things to me. Do you mind me asking what it's about?" She looks up and her eyes are in a darker shade of blue suddenly, I don't know if it's here being turned on or angry.
"No questions Callie, you owe me that much." She says before taking me to the bed, she's taking of my shirt and starts to roam her hands all over me. When she lays on top of me and I can feel her body so close to mine I let out a moan, but I still feel that tears are streaming. That is killing the mood.
"Wait Arizona, I can't do this, not when you're like this." She stops dead in her tracks and gets off me.
"You're useless. You wanted to fuck a stranger last night, but me? No you don't want me!" I can hear the hurt in her voice.
"I didn't fuck a stranger Arizona. Look at me." She refuses so I take her face between my hands and force her to look at me.
"Let me go Callie." She doesn't get that I'm stronger than her.
"I did not fuck a stranger Arizona. I know I'm not very trustworthy right now, but you have to believe me. []I don't want to fuck you; I want to make love to you. I'm sounding like a complete dork right now, but I won't have my first time with you like this. I don't know what happened this past hour, but you can tell me okay?" She looks at me and gives me a soft kiss.
"Okay…I…you're right." She pauses. "Maybe we shouldn't rush it. It's just that in two days we've experienced a lot and I feel like that I can't let go of this yet. I'm not saying what you did was okay, but we were on a break." She says.
"So you're one of those people?" I smile. I didn't think she was.
"What people?" She looks at me confused.
"That think that if you take a break it's okay that you kiss someone else?"
"Calliope" There it is again, Calliope. "You should be happy that I'm getting past what you did" She says looking a bit annoyed.
"No, no, I know that and thank you for that. I'm glad you're giving me another chance. I need to get ready, and then I'm going to Bailey. Maybe you can go with me?" I get out of bed and button my shirt before starting to fix my hair again.
Arizona's POV
I kind of forgave her and she questions me for it, I feel a bit annoyed.
I don't know if it was the right thing to do, forgive her. I haven't really forgiven her, but I am willing to get past it. She does that to me, she's making me feel like a junky. We've know each other for such a short period of time and I already feel addicted to her. I almost hate her for it.
She gets out of bed and buttons her shirt before starting to fix her hair again. She smiles at me and I smile back. However, I don't know how sincere it is.
