“What do you mean? And who the hell are you?” I hissed and eyed her angrily.
“They are everyone favourite, they will cause trouble and go Scott free while you will pay for it, please don’t let them make more fun of you with your pain, just Leave this place please”, she pulled me away quickly.
I turned back and saw her resting on Lexy with his lips closed to her neck.
My anger subside as my shoulder slump in defeat, whichever, way we look at it, this new girl is absolutely right. who am I? just a nobody.
“But they really need to stop this bad behavior already, they derived joy in seeing other people hurt”, I blurted out.
She nodded.
“Iam Kelsi” I introduce myself collecting the bottle water I dropped earlier from her.
“Rita!” She smiled widely, she is no doubt adorable with her red lips and big bright eyes.
I smiled.
“Let’s get something before the break ends” rita urged exictedly while her followed behind her.
After break, I walked into the class and sat down.
Lexy came over, “Kelsi!…” He called.
His voice sounds irritating to me that moment.
“What?” I fired at him, not sparing him a glance.
He was surprised, “what’s wrong?” His expression shown innocence.
If not that he is handsome, I would have slap his face very hard.
“What’s wrong? Are you serious right now?” I scoffed and shook my head.
“What? Why do you care anyway if something is actually wrong? Can you stop coming close to me? I don’t mean anything to you, Do I?” I could feel my anger rising up through my voice, the fact that he was standing in front of me, looking innocent makes it even worse as if he didn’t kiss Anita in my presence earlier.
I heard lexy exhaled and leaned close to me, “Iam sorry about the kiss, it was never meant to happen” he said quietly.
“What? Never meant to….” I gave a small laugh and turned to him with pain evident in my voice.
“We are just friends Kelsi, nothing else. I’m sorry if you think I have a thing for you, Iam into Anita”
That statement was like a hot knife pierced straight into my heart,
I became stilled for few seconds.
“Okay I get it Lexy, I really do” I blinked back the tears threatening to flow.
He wanted to say something but changed his mind.
Yeah! Good thing he didn’t say anything, because iam not in the mood to talk to him from henceforth.
I vowed to avoid him from that moment he walked out of my presence and out of the class.
I could not wait to finish lecture and just go home. my head was aching me, I was feeling sick already.
After school, I started walking towards the gigantic school gate.
“Can I take you home?” I heard his familiar voice ask, I paused and continue walking.
“No! Thank you” I refused not even sparing a glance at him.
I was so overwhelmed with what happened today that I could not hear a voice desperately calling me.
“Kelsi! Kelsi! Kelsi wait”, the voice called getting closer.
I turned and saw Rita running towards me.
“Goodness! You walk too fast” she accused, breathing heavily with her hands on her chest trying to calm her heartbeat.
I sigh, “I’m sorry Rita, I didn’t hear you earlier” i adjusted my school bag properly. “To be honest i just want to go home and forget everything that happened today, I’m sick.
“Yeah! I saw the drama you and Lexy played out there while I was about coming into your class to call you, what am I missing?” She asked walking right beside me.
“What? Nothing” I replied almost immediately looking away.
If there’s anything I have know about Rita with the few minutes I have spent with her, is her ability to see through your lies.
“Hehehe… better start telling me the truth girl” she said smilling while tugging my elbow lightly waiting patiently for the gist.
I closed my eyes and exhaled.
“I thought he liked me rita”, I turned to her.
I thought we could be more than friends,
I thought the kiss we had meant something to him, Never knew he had feelings for Anita.
“Iam just an object of fun. A dummy!” I looked away.
Tears brimmed my eyes.
“OMG!” Rita squeaked with her hands covering her mouth.
“You kissed Lexy?” Her eyes were wide open with shock.
