love hate.

FOUR:my girl

I wake up and someone who looked like a George is standing in front of my face. Not the far away 2 feet apart type but the 5 inches close to my face.

"Get away George!" I pushes him and get up from the bed.

He looks offended, "What? I am literally cleaning your broken nose dude, your girl is scary".

Huh? My Girl? Then i thought about it for a second. Oh.. Cleo.

"Cleo? She's not my girl," 

He pop his eyes, "shit that was Cleo!?".

I rolled eyes, "Yes! Now leave, thanks by the way George!".

He pulled his hair out of frustration, "Ugh My name is Alan!!".

He left. Finally.

The moment George says his interpretation of Cleo as my girl, i couldn't held a smile in but also a little sad. Sad because she is not my girl.

I remembered how just a moment ago, she kissed me back. Then she punched me but guess what it is worth every punch she throw. 

I touched my nose then flinch a little. It hurt, she knew how to punch. God I love her. 

I head home then iced my nose. My parents just shrug knowing it was probably Cleo, because no one in school would punch me honestly. 

Elijah was there sitting with his Girlfriend, Elena. 

I held up my hand to dap him, he received. 

Elena coughs at the sight of me. She doesn't like me, well maybe because her bestfriend doesn't so. 

"Elena." I called her name.

She looked up at me with this look, "what?"

"how is Cleo?" I asked.

"i don't know i really don't haven't been talking as much, she avoids me. She thinks I-she was going to affect me by her crippling depression. Well maybe she will but bring me with her that's all i am asking for honestly." Elena sigh, like she need that out of her mind. Then again, i don't want to know what she is dealing with i want to know how is Cleo.

"i am asking how is Cleo not how is Elena?" I said, she coughs arrogantly. 

"i do not know, Elijah i'm leaving i can't stand the smell of this dude", Elijah smiled, saying nothing Elena just left.

Elijah is the type of friend where he said a lot of things by his silent. I don't know why he speaks with low volume.

"You know she hates you, then you gotta sass her like that?" Elijah sprayed a look. 

"Since when you said sass?" I laugh, i haven't been able to connect with Elijah well, partly because i wasn't feeling social when i just lost a baby and Cleo. 

But again it's like there wasn't any gap through our friendship.

" i have been hanging out to much with Elena, you weren't there dude. I missed the four of us together, me, you, Elena, Cleo. We used to have so much fun, then there's this dude who fucked it up." Ouch, it hurt.

What he said kind of offended me, but i know it's true.

"where did i go wrong man?" I slap my head between my knee, actually feeling lost. 

"You know where it go wrong, it wasn't just cassey who you slept with. I couldn't tell you it's wrong because i thought Cleo will eventually kick your ass. Well she did, mentally" Elijah said all that with this elegant tone. 

Annoying but he's cool.

"i felt my own guilt for not telling you, thinking i was the one who caused this whole situation bro." Elijah followed me by putting his head between his knee.

"Nah, i wouldn't listen to you. I was to selfish. Didn't even think about Cleo. I didn't think i could held in for another 3 month. " I feel guilty.

There was always moment of silence after we talked then we just hug it out. 

After that sesh with Elijah i was supposed to go to class but when i was taking out books, i heard Cleo opening her locker. 

Then i saw this people eye-ing her up and down. I don't know what happened but somehow Cleo become visible again.

I was about to look back and just head to class. I heard her.

"Look at me in the eyes again, try to look at me in the eyes!" Cleo said, i can hear the sass in her tone.

God i said Sass, Elijah word get so fast in my head.

Cleo folded her arm, claiming dominants. Clearly she was the one who held the power.

Oh odd how i missed it so much.

There is this 4 dudes who use flannels as a t-shirt, i chuckled. I couldn't hear what those guys were saying so i needed to get closer.

"Cleo.. we just wa- wanted to help.." Cleo's eyes move to the guy who said it, i could still hear the fierce in her.

I look back to Cleo, she had this look where she is getting ready to said something really unnecessarily mean. I smiled.

Some people passing by talking about her, asking is that really Cleo?, i thought she was hot, bullshit bla bla bla. I hate it so much it hurt me internally.

Cleo finally said something, after getting a quick up and down look at them.

" In what way do i look like i want your help?" She took a step forward, scarring them. They all were terrified, if i was them i probably would kiss her right there and then. One of the guys ran away.

They didn't even looked up , looking Cleo in the eyes back then was like asking to be spit on. She was always a loner accept for Elena, she's always been there for her. 

Cleo take a step closer and pulled the collar on one of the guy who was in the very front. 

 "talk to me again don't even think for a second that i'm going to let you unscathed." Cleo let out her grip by pushing his shoulder.

I couldn't help but to smile, she walked past me smirking. My girl is back.

If i can i would fall right through the ground feeling so excited.

I saw her talking to this happy looking guy, i couldn't see her with this guy. So i know that guy is not a threat. Then suddenly the shitty haired guy frowned, i smile. Cleo did it once again.

This is better than watching porn honestly.
