I Still Love You ~ A Sokeefe Story

Rejection

Sophie smiled as she went to school. She felt a lot better than before when she went to school with Fitz. Their breakup seemed so long ago when it really wasn't, and now she felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. The weight being Fitz. Sophie hummed as she walked over to the front of a ginormous school with the words 'Foxfire High' labeled on in gold letters.

"Hey, Sophie!"

She looked around to see Stina running towards her. Sophie wrinkled her nose in disgust and continued walking. She stopped when a hand grasped her shoulder.

Sophie rolled her eyes, annoyed, and turned towards the person who owned the hand. Stina.

"Look, Sophie. I'm sorry," said Stina as she lowered her hand from Sophie's shoulder. "I'm sorry about the bullying and about Fitz."

Sophie narrowed her eyes. "To be honest, I don't really care about Fitz. That bastard would find someone else anyways. You just helped me see his true colours."

"I'm sorry!" exclaimed Stina. "I'm sorry."

"Yeah, yeah. You told me a million times already. But you bullied me. You tormented me. Do you expect me to forgive you just like that?" Sophie really expected Stina to make some sort of witty comeback but instead Stina just looked down.

"No. I don't."

Sophie turned to leave. "Then goodbye."

Stina grabbed Sophie again. "Just hear me out.
Please."

"Fine."

"I guess I was jealous. You got good grades and a nice family. You got real friends and you got the one boy I've liked since I came here. I know this stupid apology doesn't count for anything but I just wanted to explain to you why. Fitz was just being an idiot and that showed me that I was just being selfish and a bully."

Stina was out of breath after she finished and Sophie raised an eyebrow at her.

"You can't expect me to forgive you that easily though," she said.

Stina looked ashamed as she said, "I know. I just wanted to apologize."

Sophie tried to smile at the girl in front of her. "Thanks, though."

Stina looked up at the blonde and turned away.

Sophie sighed and walked into her high school.

After class Sophie met up with her friends."What's up?"

"Stina," said Dex. "She's being weird."

"Weird how?" asked Biana, slowly.

"She apologized to me today. I never expected the word 'sorry' to ever come out of her mouth," answered Dex.

"Same!" said Sophie. "She said that Fitz had something to do with it. I don't know."

"You talking about me?" interrupted a male voice from behind her.

"No," answered Sophie, nonchalantly.

"How rude!" Keefe plopped down beside Sophie. "Meanie." He folded his arms across his chest and poured like a spoiled kid who didn't get what they wanted. (Bet you thought it was Fitz! Or you didn't)

"Ha!" Sophie stuck her tongue out at the pouting boy who sat beside her.

"Excuse me?" asked a bold but timid voice.

"What do you want Stina?" asked Biana.

"I wanted to apologize again. I'm sorry."

"Welp... I'm gonna go pee pee," said Keefe, standing up and leaving the cafeteria table. You could hear him sing a song faintly as his figure walked out of view. "Bathroom, bathroom I got's to pee. I'm gonna sprinkle all my tinkle...(Any Haikyuu fans? None? Eh)"
