Sparks Fly - 7

“And do you still feel like you know what you're doing,

Cause I don't think you do, Oh

Do you still feel like you know what you're doing

I don't think you do, I don't think you do

Let's hear the applause

C'mon show me how much better you are

See you deserve some applause

Cause you're so much better

She took him faster than you can say sabotage

”

I had never in my life hated someone so much. Jealousy, maybe? Maybe. I wasn’t one to get jealous, because what was the point of being jealous, if you are sure of yourself? Right now I wasn’t so sure about myself. I through my things down on my bed in anger. Skipping my afternoon classes was probably the smartest thing I had ever done. If I hadn’t I would of probably done something I would regret. After seeing Yale with that… slut, I couldn’t handle myself. I ran out of the school to my car. Angry driving isn’t one of my talents so I was glad I hadn’t gotten into a wreck.

From the second I had entered the cafeteria, I could see them. They weren’t even trying to hide it. She was all over him, although he didn’t look very interested. I hadn’t of cared up until the point when she had kissed him and I knew at that second she was dead to me. Our friendship was over. (keep in mind Morrison is friends with EVERYONE) I had trusted her. And now here she was. I knew she knew Yale and I had some kind of thing, whatever it was.

“Alice? Honey, is something wrong? Why aren’t you at school?” My mother entered the room, worried. She looked at my face, the hurt angered expression then embraced me in a hug. I loved my mother. I could smell her lilac scented shampoo and Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume. My mother wasn’t one of those house wives who baked cookies etc. She was more of the wake up, go to the spa, go shopping, hang out with her country club friends, type. But besides that she was still a mother. She took care of me when I was sick, was there to comfort me, gave me talks about life. “oh sweety, what happened?”

And I told her everything. She sat there listening to me, not interrupting, hugging me when needed.

“You know what? Im not going to make you go back to school. Lets go do something!” She smiled cheerfully. I smiled back at her, thankful to have her in my life. We got into the Range Rover and headed to the mall.

An hour later we sat infront of orange cup, eating our frozen yogurt, with all of our shopping bags chillin on the floor besides us.

“Thank you mommy for making my day better.” I smiled at her.

“Youre welcome my darling. Anything for you.” She grabbed my hand and stared at me sweetly. After we were done with our yogurt we drove back home, tired from the shopping trip. I took my bags up to my room and jumped on too my bed, exhausted. The intercom beeped and I heard my mothers voice. “Alice… shes here. What do you want me to say?”

“Tell her to go home and she can go screw herself!” I yelled through the intercom before crawling back in to my bed.

I heard talking downstairs, and the door opening and closing. Before a car started. She was gone. I couldn’t believe she would even try to come around after what had happened, like I would just forgive her like that. I was nice, but I wasn’t a push over.

And if she thought she could show her face in my house anymore, she was wrong.

Kathy was dead to me.
