"What do you want now?" I was starting to piss her off. I could tell she rolled her eyes stuffing her book in her mini locker and walking away from me.
"I just wanted to apologise for last week." We were fine until she kicked me out of her house.
"Well you've apologised now go." She pushed past me but I grabbed her wrist as she faced me. "Let me go."
"I don't say sorry often but what happened this summer was a dick head move and I am truly sorry."
"He crumbled my heart in a 20 note for a bet. How do you expect me to feel? Worse you tore a 20 and threw it at my face like trash?" she was seething and hurt. She bowed her head. "Just leave me alone." I nodded dropping her hand.
"We still need to talk."
"What now?" I ruffled my hair in frustration. I looked both sides.
"The kiss."
"What kiss?"
"Don't play dumb."
"Oh, that kiss? Our lips just touched nothing more."
"I like to think it was more than that."
"Plenty of girls you must have kissed. You used me as a distraction it worked. Nothing more."
"Why are you so difficult?"
"You were hoping the kiss meant more to me? Nope it didn't. If I'm being honest a little forceful, felt like you were about to eat my face." I blushed as I scoffed.
"Don't lie."
"I've kissed better." it was silent for a bit. "Caleb seriously let me be. You are drawing attention to me. Your Groupons keep puncturing holes in my existence in every direction." I looked around, watching people as they whispered between themselves wondering what I was doing talking to Ina.
"Leave them."
"Caleb-"
"Stop calling me that."
"Julie, we don't mix, it's a reality. I'm ugly, you hot."
"You think I'm hot?" I smiled, she rolled her eyes.
"Like you don't know. I am not going to inflate your ego but you know it and you standing here talking to me is making others uncomfortable."
"What if I told you I didn't care what others thought?"
"I would say bullshit. Of course you care."
"Well I don't."
"Okay."
"I don't get how I can like you when you frustrate me this much."
"Of course you like me. Levi already told you how easy it was to get with me; you thought you'll give it a go too. Ugly Ina is gullible. Then it will be JB and then Chris next. What have I ever done wrong to you people? Why do you all want to kill me emotionally?"
"I don't-"
"I don't want to hear it. I'm not interested, I learnt my lesson and I'll stupid if I fall for it again." she walked off.

"Ina you can go first." History was good as usual; Ina seems to be really good at it. Our homework this week was to write poetry on something anything and perform it to the class and Ina volunteered to go first.
"I'm going to keep my poetry simple…
They undermine,
that we will shine.
There's always an ugly in every school,
and society chose that to be me
they wire it in our minds we can be individuals but still divided.
In divided souls
when our worlds collided.
I sighted: my nose is big, my lips is big, everything about me big.
Hated for my features.
