"He is bad news..."
Chapter 9
“So, who do you like?” Sienna asked me as we both
took our seats on a table across the entrance of the cafeteria. I
held my tray as I felt my sides paralyzing by her question. I
tried to keep calm as I left my tray on the table and my bag on
the chair next to me.
“No one” I answered, avoiding her eyes.
“Come on, there must have been a special boy who made your
heart skip a beat” she protested, smirking.
I couldn’t help but laugh. Her tone of voice was funny.
“Obviously no one”.
“Obviously someone” Sienna denied. “Tell
meeeee” she whined, frowning.
“I have nothing to say” I claimed.
“Yes you do” she stated, snapping her finger at
me.
I stuck my tongue out at her and laughed. She giggled and began
to pinch the boiled vegetable in her plate with her fork.
“Isn’t the food disgusting here?”
“Oh yeah!” I agreed, looking at my raspberry flavored
ice cream. “Yikes”.
She caught a boiled piece of carrot with her fork and brought it
to her mouth. She ate it, biting it slowly. She gulped, long and
hard, before her eyes widened. “Oh my gosh! JESUS, the food
is awful!” she cried, her mouth wide open.
I slapped her mouth close. “Tell me about it! I’ve
been eating THIS for seven years now, how’s
that?”
She looked at me. “Poor girl!”
We continued laughing and goofing around till the end of the
lunch time. There, we said goodbye. I saw Sienna walking to her
classroom; she had Math now. I turned around and went to my
locker; I needed to check my hair. My intuition was telling me it
looked awful.
I walked to my locker. I opened the door and left my phone
inside. I was fixing my hair on the small mirror placed on the
door of my locker when my phone vibrated. I turned it around and
unlocked it. I just got a text from Everett. I wonder where I got
his number though because I don’t remember him giving it to
me. Oh well.
I felt my heart beating. Our fight this morning made me mad and
sad at the same time. Why was he like that this morning? I really
can’t tell. I guess he has issues as well.
Outside of our history class in five minutes. Be there. I
won’t wait. Everett.
Whoa, possessive much? I thought to myself. This boy
keeps driving me crazy. I have no idea where we are; what we are.
A few days ago we did it. Last night we kissed. Today he woke me
up and was to drive me to school but got mad I couldn’t
hear him calling me and left. What the hell? Confusing as
f*ck.
I took my books and closed my locker. I found my way to the
history class and surprised, I saw he was already there. I wonder
if he texted me while being there.
Without a word, he grasped onto my arm and opened the classroom
door. Two freshmen were inside, talking. Both boys, from what I
can see from here.
“Leave” Everett hissed, sending them a death glare.
They got up and ran away, tripping on some chairs and desks on
their way to the hallway. I found this pretty amusing, I
don’t know why. It was funny.
Everett shut the door close. I left my books on a desk, knowing I
wasn’t gonna go to class. He took a step closer, looking
down at me. I tried to walk away but he pulled me closer and
lifted me up. He made me sit down on the teacher’s desk.
Fearful, I started kicking and punching his chest, scared. He
stopped every move my shouting at my face.
“Just calm down for a second, can you?”
I froze. I tried to maintain a calm expression on my face, but it
was impossible. I saw his muscles calming down as he exhaled and
inhaled deeply. “I’m sorry” he murmured,
pulling away.
“Why did you want me to meet you?” I asked, curiosity
filling my voice.
He took my hands and looked me into the eyes. “I wanted to
apologize. I have no idea what got into me this morning… I
shouldn’t have been so rude”.
“Well… yeah you shouldn’t have” I
agreed.
“Will you…”
“Yes” I cut him off. “Yes, I’ll forgive
you”.
“One more thing…” he trailed off.
“Yes, Everett?”
He bit his lower lip, looking at our intertwined fingers.
“I… Well, I don’t know how to say this
but… I feel guilty. For what happened between us that
Saturday. I know you didn’t want any of this to happen, so
I apologize. I just want to make it up to you. I know I
can’t give you your virginity back –I surely
can’t– but I just want to be there for you
and… Be what I couldn’t be back when we were
kids”.
My breath hitched. I looked at him in disbelief. Somebody pitch
me, I must be dreaming. Then, I reached up and pinched my
arm.
“Why are you pinching your arm?” he asked,
confused.
“To check if I’m dreaming or no” I answered
simply.
“You’re not dreaming” he assured me.
“You should be beating up people, not asking a girl
out” I claimed, raising an eyebrow.
“I’ve been sleeping around for more than three years.
I just want to settle down and after what happened between us,
it’s my duty to make it up to you and protect you” he
breathed out.
I couldn’t say anything. Something was bothering me in his
words but I just hugged him and cried on his shoulder, with tears
of joy I never expected to have. He held me close, playing with
my hair.
Jesus, am I really that lucky.
