Episode 7
I cried that night.
I cried about everything. Landon probably never even liking me but using me for one thing. I cried about Adam. Nothing about him in particular but just the name brought tears to my eyes. I cried about not being pretty enough or not having the perfect body.
I sat on the floor that night in Libbyâs room and justâŠcried. Thank God Libby was both a heavy and early sleeper. I didnât think I wouldâve been able to hold in my tears and I also wouldnât feel like giving her my sob story.
I didnât feel like dealing with anyone today. Not Libby and especially not Adam. Yes, Iâm a horrible best friend for not telling her what it is that is bothering me but I donât want to burden her with all of my problems on her.
This morning, I was feeling a little more casual. I applied absolutely no makeup because I didnât feel like it. I threw on a sweater and some ripped jeans before walking to school. That morning, Sebastian, the same brown haired, brown eye boy that approached me the Monday after Adamâs party came to my locker again but this time, he didnât leave suspiciously like last time.
My morning was instantly brightened. It turns out he was really funny, and cute but that was just a bonus. It was still a mystery to why he left so suddenly without an explanation but at least he seems more relaxed now.
I laughed so much and hard that I hadnât realised that Adam was angrily approaching us. I swore, smoke was fuming from his ears.
I looked at Sebastian confused. He had the exact same expression he did when he left that morning without a reason.
Before I could ask what was wrong, Adam already had Sebastian pinned against my locker, children beginning to conjugate already.
âDidnât I give you along with everyone a warning? Why canât you follow instructions?â Adamâs says through gritted teeth.
âI just thought because s-she was with L-Landon that the deal was off.â Sebastian replied looking extremely terrified.
Warning?
âAdam! What the f–k is wrong with you? Why are you always annoying me?â I shout forcing my 5â5 foot self between a 6â3 foot Adam and a trembling Sebastian.
Adam doesnât even make eye contact with me, instead heâs still killing Sebastian with his eyes.
âLast warning.â He says softly but his words hold so much authority, itâs almost frightening.
He turns away his body, his eyes lurking a little longer than required to before his head meets up with his body.
I turn my attention back to Sebastian, his back still pressed against the locker. His face reflects one of relief. I stay for a couple of seconds waiting for some sort of explanation. I look back at the students now separating themselves murmuring disappointed nothings to each other since there was no fight.
High school students are jackasses.
Once I realize that I was the first one who would have to break the silence between Sebastian and I, I speak up.
âCare to share what that was about?â I ask tilting my head to the side once I realize that the hallway was fairly clear.
Sebastian looks around, scanning the hallways for something or someone before grabbing my hand and pulling me to God knows where.
Once we arrive to the Janitorâs closet because of the various brooms and mops inside, he shuts the door and looks at me.
âIâm sorry aboutâŠthat.â He says jabbing his thumb in the direction of the closed door.
âWell I would like to know what âŠâthatâ was.â I reply making air quotes on âthatâ.
He sighs, running his hands through his hair before he finally begins to speak.
âAdam made all the guys on the football team swear to keep away from you since you started looking -â He pauses looking for the right choice of words. â-different. He says âYouâd wish you were never born if you go near her.’â He says quoting Adamâs words.
It all made sense now. The conversation a few minutes ago, why Sebastian left that morning and why boys avoided me that day.
I was fuming with anger. I couldâve been dating someone right now, or better, I couldâve had a boyfriend!
Adam.
Adam.
The only person that my anger is directed to is Adam.
I barged out of the room with Sebastian trying to stop me but I forcefully pull out of his grip.
I stomped my way over to Adamâs locker. He was standing there boredly talking to some girl. I think her name was Leah? I marched up to him and yanked Leah back from him. I was too angry to care or think about the look she was giving me.
Adam looked slightly taken back by my sudden action but he recovered quickly after.
I stood there glaring at him with a scowl on my face.
âAre you going to say something?â He asks with a blank expression on his gorgeous face.
As Iâm about to open my mouth, Leah spoke up.
âDonât you see I was talking to him, b—h?â She asked glaring at me.
Adam straightens up and his face morphs into anger.
âLook-â I cut him off before he can continue.
âI donât care. Now move along, desperation doesnât look good on you.â I said snapping at her. I realised that I seem to develop a boost of confidence whenever Iâm really angry.
As Iâm about to speak again, Mrs. Desperation cuts me off.
âExcuse me?â She gasped.
âYouâre excused and get rid of some of the makeup while youâre at it.â She scoffs at this and then walks off.
I look at Adam and see him smirking at me. That stupid arrogant smirk.
âAs I was about to say before I was rudely interrupted by one of toysâŠâ I say while sending daggers at him. âWhy are you always fishing about in my life?â I ask moving my hands about for effect.
This only makes Adamâs smirk go wider as he kicks his foot back against the lockers.
âWhat do you mean?â He finally speaks sounding innocent.
âI know what you did.â I say getting more fustrated.
My pain just adds to Adamâs enjoyment as he chuckles.
He remains silent which gives me more time to speak again.
âSince you stop guys from speaking to me at this school, Iâll just go outside the schoolâ I say.
Adamâs scowl returned as his jaw clenched. It was now my turn to smirk at his reaction before turning around which makes my hair fly in his face before walking away in victoryâŠâŠâŠ.. It was two weeks since that day of which I found out that Adam was the reason to every male species avoiding me. Maybe Iâm acting a little too dramatic but I was really pissed off.
During the last two weeks, nothing really happened if you donât include Landon confronting me. We talked that morning before school and he explained to me he actually did like me but not as much as he led on. Although I forgave him, I still didnât fully trust him. I still agreed it was best if we stayed friends to which he fully agreed to.
As for Adam, we hadnât spoken a word to each other if you exclude the greetings of âmorningâ and âbyeâ when I entered and left the house to visit Libby. I told Libby about everything. Everything from Landon to Elle and Adam and to what Sebastian told me. I felt really bad for keeping it from her when in returned she told me everything that happened in her life.
My life has been really hectic this past month. Everything from Adam, Landon and Elle, it was only fair that I deserved a break. Tonight was the big football game to which Adam would be playing in along with Nick, one of Adamâs friend.
I also got pretty close with all of Adamâs friend actually. Nick, Bryce and Josh were big sweethearts that had a bad boy exterior but if you really got to know them, anyone could tell they had really big hearts. Nick is a big baby and Iâm the closest to him out of all of them.
As for what Nick told me, Landon and Adam still havenât spoken since the fight and I canât help but think that itâs my fault.
Iâm currently getting ready at my house with Libby for the game later. I didnât really feel like speaking to Adam anytime soon.
Nick and Adam donât practice at school. Instead, they practice privately with the coach on weekends since their the best playersâ on the team. At least thatâs what Libby told me.
âUgh, I have nothing to wear.â Libby whined while looking through the drawer of clothes in my bedroom. Yup, Libby and I have been to each otherâs houses so many times that we have a whole closet and shoes dedicated to each other.
âJust throw this on.â I say while shrugging and showing her a outfit.
She gives it a once over and agrees that it should do. She does her makeup and finishes her hair before turning to me.
âYour turn.â She states while coming to me with a sinister smile on her face.
âI have me outfit already. See.â I respond while showing her what Iâm going to wear. I pick out a baggy khaki pants and a large T-SHIRT.
Libby looks at me like Iâve grown two heads and then took the outfit from me and threw it on the bed. âYouâve got to be kidding me.â
After rummaging through my closet for what felt like hours, she finally found the outfit.
She throws it at me and I put it on. I look at myself in the mirror and see that I actually look really good in it although it shows a little too much stomach and the skirt is really short.
âTime for your makeup!â Libby squeals. She pushes me down in front of the makeup desk and began doing my makeup.
âââââââ
âOh my God! You look sooo cute!â Libby yells.
After looking over our outfits once again, we run downstairs to be met with my parentsâŠ..
