Part 33

Mattia pov

I was walking in the corridors to lunch with ale and Kai, since non of the other guys had first lunch with us. It was Thursday today so we were talking about the game we were going to have today after school. We saw Emma walking towards us from the opposite end of the corridor and I mentally groaned.

Kai groaned really loudly when he saw her," hey if she starts anything I have permission from Jordon to run her over," Kai whispered to me and I smiled shaking my head at him," I don't know what you're smiling about, I'm being serious here," he said folding his arms.

I rolled my eyes and I really couldn't be asked with any of Emma's shit today. I was just going to avoid her because I was sick of her trying to convince me to get back with her.

We walked past her and I let out a sigh of relief because she didn't say a word.

" maybe she's given up?" Ale suggested as we walked past her.

" so that's it, you're gonna act like there's nothing going on between us?" We heard her say from behind us. I closed my eyes letting out a quiet tut.

" man, it was too good to be true," Kai said, he looked over at ale, " you jinxed it man," ale rolled his eyes at him.

" ignore her, I'm not doing this with her today," I said to them both and we carried on walking to the lunch hall.

" hey, I'm talking to you!" She yelled out but I still didn't stop.

People around us had stopped and they were watching us, and looking at Emma behind us. They were all waiting for something to happen and I was getting annoyed at Emma for making a scene.

" mattia!" She yelled and I could hear her footsteps behind us, getting closer to me. I felt her hand on my arm, and she pulled it back,turning me around.

Her eyes had tears in them already and I could already imagine the rumours that were going to start about me 'making' her cry. I folded my arms and looked down at her.

"  what else do you want from me? I've tried everything I could to get you back," she said.

" well stop trying Emma because it's not happening," I told her calmly. I really didn't understand what she was expecting from me, did she think I'd drop Jordon and come running back to her?

The thought of that made me want to laugh.

" but we were so-"

" maybe that's what you think but let's be honest Emma we weren't," I said interrupting her. I tried to stay relaxed but I was seriously on edge, " we were the most toxic- actually you know what? It wasn't 'we' it was just you. You're the most toxic person I've ever met and I don't want to be with someone like that,"

I don't know why I was shaming myself. I know I'm not exactly perfect, but Jordon made me realise that I didn't do anything wrong when I was in a relationship with Emma.

" but I thought you loved me?" She asked.

" I thought I did too. The truth is I never knew what love even was when I was with you, and I realised that when I got with Jordon." I told her, honestly.

Her brows furrowed slightly when she heard me say Jordons name," why would you even bring her up now? Don't you care-"

I palmed my face, " I'm gonna keep bringing her up until you realise that I'm in a happy relationship with her!" I was trying so hard to hold in my anger but I felt like I really needed to get this all out, " you're kidding yourself if you think I'll ever give up what I have with her to get back with you!"
