Adaline
I ran and ran and ran. Away from him and everything.
I left him in the hallway, with his arm raised up in the air, a shocked expression on his face. Some students were shooting me a questioning look as I ran past them, but I didn’t care.
I went straight up to the school’s roof. There is the only place I can find peace.
As I went up there, the chilly air hit my skin making me shiver. Also , I was on the verge of the tears. I can already feel my heart break again.
I looked at the sky and closed my eyes, trying to calm myself.
I don’t want him in my life again.
I want him to disappear. To leave me alone.
In my first year of highschool I met him and that drama began. After we broke up it took me two years to fix my heart. To collect all the broken pieces of my heart that were scattered on the floor everywhere and then use the time to fix it. But neither the time helped me fix it.
Tears were moving slowly from my eyes , to my cheeks and then to my chin.
I know I’m weak , but bare with me. My heart has been broken twice , by the same guy.
I should be over now, but I can’t. He was the only one where I would feel loved, safe and at peace. It was as if only us two were in this world. No one else. Only us.
But that girl needed to entry our life. To destroy everything me and Tyler created. More like I created, because he would do nothing but shove his tongue in that girl’s throat. He didn’t care about me. He cared about himself and how he would play with me. He had me wrapped around his little finger.
“Adaline.” A voice called me from behind. I opened my eyes and turned around fast. Tyler was a few feet away from me , examining my face. My eyes would be red and puffy from crying and I bet my cheeks were flushed and tear stained.
I took all the courage in me and spoke. “What do you want Tyler?!” I spat his name like it was poison on my tongue. Which it was.
He flinched from the tone of my voice and came closer to me. I took a few steps back and hold my palm up , trying to stop him.
Surprisingly, he stopped and looked down, guilty. I restrained myself from scoffing. Guilty my ass.
He looked in my brown eyes with his blue ones. He was hurt and guilt was lacing his features. I crossed my arms over my chest and let a blank expression took over my face. But inside… inside I was hurt and pained.
Tyler sighed and ran a hand through his brown hair. “I’m sorry, Adaline! I wanted to say sorry and-”
I scoffed , interrupting him. “You weren’t sorry when you were sucking faces with that girl!” I let the words out in a calm, deadly manner.
He looked down and then he took some steps closer to me. I didn’t back up. I wanted to show him that I was strong, even if inside my soul was screaming and crying.
“I’m sorry! It’s just that-” I cut him off again.
“Just what Tyler?! That you didn’t love me and you were just waiting to steal my first kiss?!” I began to scream by now and my eyes began to be glassy.
“No-” He snapped his eyes to mine.
“Oh , so you wanted to take my virginity too!” I shouted , angry.
He widened his eyes and shook his head. He was nervous, I could see.
“Let me explain!”
I stood in silence for a few seconds, lips pursed and eyebrows furrowed in a thinking manner. I looked in his eyes , just a single tear escaping.
“Explain.” I allowed him to explain. That was the single word he was waiting , because after that he let his words flow.
“I’m sorry for what I did , Adaline. I was angry and hurt that you didn’t want to kiss me so I called Paula-”
“Paula?” I whispered, my heart breaking even more. “That day, you were kissing Paula?” I swallowed nervously , trying to hold back my tears. Paula… she was the one who made my relationship with him end… and Tyler let her…
Tyler looked down in shame and sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Yes. And I’m truly sorry for what I did Adaline!” He raised his eyes to meet mine. “Please, Adaline. I still love you.” He came closer and took my hands in his hands.
“Please. Give me another chance. I loved you and I still am. You are the one who I love-” I have had enough so I give out a humourless chuckle.
“You really don’t know how to continue playing with my feelings, don’t you?” I asked him quietly.
“No-”
“Bullshit!” I shouted , taking my hands away from his hands. I got my face closer to him.
“No, it’s not-” He tried to defend himself but I cut him off.
“Don’t try to defend yourself. Bullshit is very common nowadays. Especially from you!” I hissed at him and let my tears flow down on my face. His eyes softened and were also glassy. He was just acting.
“Baby, please just listen to me.” I didn’t want to listen to him , so I just walked past him, hitting my shoulder with him in the process. He took ahold of my wrist and yanked me into his chest. “I still love you Adaline! You are the one! You have my heart , Adaline! Please, I love you baby! No matter what I’ll still love y-”
My humourless laugh stopped him. After I harshly stopped my laugh , I looked at him dead in the eyes. “Wow. Your ass must be jealous of all that shit that comes out of your mouth!” I snarled at him and yanked my hand from his hold. I turned on my heels and went as far as I can from him.
•°•°•°•°•
Surprisingly, I feel more better after I confronted him. It feels like something has been lifted from my shoulders, but not all.
As I walked down the halls, I looked down, my hair covering most of my face, because I didn’t want the students to see that I have been crying.
The majority of students began to know me as the girl the Bad Boy has an interest in. I didn’t listen to them tho, but it began to be worse , because some of the girls began to speak nonsense and bullshit about me.
“She’s the one who Ayato has an interest in.”
“She’s just another one of his night stands. I bet she gives him a good chase.”
“She’s so lucky to have such a sexy man after her.” At this, I almost laughed out loud.
“I was thinking that she was a cool girl, but now I can see that she’s just a slut.”
The last one just felt like someone stabbed me. This bitch…
I raised my eyes to the one that said and smiled sweetly at her. She gasped , looking like a deer caught in the lights of a car.
I flipped her off. “Fuck off , bitch.” And with that said I left her standing there shocked and frozen in her spot.
I smirked as I remembered her face.
“Addy!” I heard a voice , of what seemed as Jemima , call me. I turned around with my eyebrows furrowed. Indeed it was Jemima. I widened my eyes.
She came to me and smiled.
“What do you think you are doing?! You draw attention to me!” I hissed at her lowly, looking around frightened. She shrugged me off by waving a hand.
“Don’t worry! I don’t care what they think!” She linked her arm with mine but I quickly shrugged her arm off.
“But I do!”
“But I don’t” She sang and linked her arm with mine. The hallways began to be filled with whispers like.
“What is Jemima doing with a nobody like that girl?”
“Is Jemima drunk?”
“Is she seriously going so low?”
Jemima glared at the girl who said that. The girl gulped and scurried off.
After the girl left, Jemima smiled and dragged me to I don’t know where.
“Jemima! Where are you taking me?!” I whisper-yelled at my twin and rather crazy sister. Isn’t she caring about her reputation?!
“We are going to the lunch room!” She squeaked , excited. I widened my eyes. I’ve been just a few times to the lunch room to eat there. Other than that, I just eat in silence in the library, hiding my nose in my phone , reading a book.
I know. I’m in a library and I read a book from my phone. Weird , right?
I stopped Jemima. She turned to me and furrowed her eyebrows.
“Jemima! I’ve never been to the lunch room more than 4 times!” I hissed at her and she groaned.
“C’mon Addy! It’s not that bad! Besides , you’re with me.” She rolled her eyes. I tapped my chin with my index finger.
“I don’t know-” I didn’t even had time to finish my sentence, because Jemima began to drag me again to the lunch room.
She opened the doors to the lunch room when we were in front of them , and the loud noise in there quieted down. They were looking at Jemima and me with curious and questioning eyes.
The room began to be filled with whispers as why a nerd like me would be with a popular like her.
As if sensing my uneasiness , Jemima glared at everybody.
“Oi! She’s my sister, okay?! Just go on with the conversations you were having before we got in this room!” And just like that, the room began to be filled with noise again. I even heard some gasps when Jemima said that I was her sister.
Jemima rolled her eyes and dragged me to the center of the lunch room.
Me , not knowing the lunch room, I asked her.
“Where are you taking me, Jemima?”
I looked at her then followed where her eyes were pointing and saw that she was dragging me to the largest table in the lunch room. Also the one in the middle. I gulped.
I’m not so dumb to not realise that that is the popular table.
I double gulped.
And there is also Ayato…
And Tyler…
