Annabelle looked over at her clock as she alarm began to buzz. She hadn't slept much that night. She had so many emotions going through her, anger and sadness just being a few of them. Annabelle stepped in front of her mirror and saw the dark circles that were forming. She sighed and began her usual routine, but adding more foundation under her eyes. She straightened her hair and nodded at her reflection in approval.
Annabelle opened her front door and stepped outside and immediately felt dread inside her, even though she was angry, she still sad that Adam and Eli had both lied to her. Maybe I'm blowing this all out of proportion, she thought to herself as she saw Degrassi coming into view. Annabelle looked over at Clare who instantly looked away. Annabelle wasn't mad at Clare. If anything Clare was the only one she trusted at this point. Everyone else had lied to her. Annabelle glanced over at Adam and didn't even crack a smile. Shit, He's coming over here, She thought to herself as she took a seat on one of the stairs.
"What'd I do?" He said excitedly as he approached her. "Maybe it's something you didn't do." Annabelle returned in a sassy tone. "What?" Adam asked in a confused tone. "Want me to refresh your memory?" She asked sarcastically as she jumped up and ran over to the hearse that had just pulled into the parking lot. Annabelle waited for the driver's door to open and then quickly said, "Hi, Eli. How're you?" She said sarcastically. "I'm good…How are you?" He said with apprehension. "I was good until yesterday when I found out you were Julia's boyfriend." She said angrily. Eli looked back at her with a shocked look. "What's wrong Eli? Get caught in a lie?" She said angrily as she walked away from him.
"Annabelle wait!" Adam shouted after her. "What?" She turned around angrily at him. "I'm sorry." He said simply. "Sorry for what? I mean you only sat there as I poured my heart out and you knew something that was important and you just sat there." Adam looked away from her. "Don't even talk to me again. Understand?" Annabelle said as she turned and walked away from him. She quickly reached her class to realize her assigned seat was next to Adam. She took her seat and never once looked at Adam. Annabelle felt something touch her arm and looked down to see a note.
Can we please just talk?- Adam
Annabelle turned around and looked at him and shook her head. She didn't have anything to say to anyone right now. She'd trusted Adam, which was unusual for her, but it had now blown up in her face.
Annabelle heard the bell ring for lunch and she realized she had no appetite. Instead of going to the café she went outside and sat down on the steps. She didn't want to deal with people right now. She just wanted to be away from the two people who had lied right to her face. "Trouble in paradise?" Annabelle looked up to see Bianca. "Look I'm not in the mood to deal with you." She said in reply to Bianca's sassy comment. "Something wrong?" Annabelle was shocked. Did Bianca just ask her a genuine question? "I'm fine." Annabelle replied as Bianca nodded and walked into the school.
Annabelle had several questions floating in her head about why they kept it from her. She took in a deep breath and stood up to walk to confront the two boys. "Why'd you do it?" She said as she approached the lunch table. Adam looked over at Eli And Eli looked back to Adam. "It was my fault." Eli finally said. "I didn't want people here to know. I mean, besides us no one does." Annabelle looked at him and rolled her eyes. "I thought maybe if we didn't tell you I would feel so bad about it." Annabelle took in a deep breath. "I'm not here to say I'm not hurt or mad, but you shouldn't blame yourself which I hear you do." Eli shook his head. "For now, I'm out of here." She said as she planned to skip the rest of the day.
Annabelle opened the door to leave the school as she heard footsteps behind her. "Yes Adam?" She said without turning around and as she kept walking. "Don't go, I mean, or let me come to." Annabelle rolled her eyes. "What part of I'm mad at you don't you get?" She asked as she turned and looked at him. "I didn't mean for this to happen." He said quietly. "But it did. That's the end of it." Annabelle felt tears swell up in her eyes. "Just please forgive me.." Annabelle looked at him and took in a deep breath. She could feel the regret he felt as she looked into his eyes. "Why should I forgive you? Why shouldn't I just stop talking to you and never talk to you again?" Annabelle said sadly. Adam walked over closer to her. He took her hand and looked into her eyes. "Because I like you, and I want that chance to get to know you." Annabelle looked away from him and then back at him. She felt a small smirk come on her face. "I'll reconsider my anger if you do something for me." Adam nodded and waited for his instructions. "Kiss me, Adam and I mean really kiss me." She smiled as Adam took in a deep breath and stepped closer to her. She waited for what felt like days until she felt his soft warm lips on hers. She smiled against his lips and softly kissed him back.
