Stuck With You

3

Holy. Shit.

River Kane just heard me crying and I just heard him, well, you know. Wait!

Maybe he doesn't know I'm here. 

"Umm, can you guys leave? This is girls' bathroom it's kinda disrespecful" I said changing my voice a little.

"Oh fuck" said the girl whispering.

"Seems we'll have to continue later" said Kane. Ugh.

"Bye, baby! Text me okay?" 

And she left. I didn't want to come out because I knew he was still there. Why was he still here?

"C'mon Waters! I know you're there" he said unamused.

"Don't know what you're talking about dude" I changed my voice as much as I could. HOW DOES HE KNOW?!?!?!

A loud knock on the door made me jump and the only thing I didn't want was him seeing me crying but, to be honest, at this point I couldn't give two shits about him so I decided to come out. "Happy now Kane?" I said sarcastically.

I knew from his grin that he wanted to tease me about what happened earlier but when he saw that my eyes were swollen from crying, his face changed completely. He stared at me with an expression that I couldn't describe.

"What are you looking at? Or should I ask, why are you still here?" I said looking at my hands because I didn't want him to look at me.

"What happened Clementine?" he asked.

"None of your business"

"Why were you crying" he kept asking, ignoring me.

"Nothing happened, River. And if something did why would I tell you asshole? Can you fucking go now?"

He stared at me and without saying anything he left. Okay?????

I looked at myself in the mirror and I was a mess. Honestly, I didn't want to go to class at the moment but it was the first day so skipping wasn't an option, mom would literally kill me.

Then I realized I forgot my itinerary in my locker. Great.

I cleaned my face a little bit and, finally, came out of the bathroom. I had five minutes until the bell would ring, so I tried to go to my locker as fast as I could.

I have chemistry now. Jesus Christ, this day just goes better and better.

When I entered class, I was looking for a seat. I usually would go with Holden but right now I didn't want to see him. Unfortunately I did, he was seating with his girlfriend.

I looked through the whole class for a seat and saw that some seats in the back were available.

This class was so boring, that's why I always seat with Holden because he always makes me have fun, and now he makes cry. How ironic.

In the middle of the class, I was taking notes until a little paper hit me in the forehead. What was that?

I grabbed the paper and opened it, the writing was kinda messy and I recognized from who it was. Holden.

I looked at him and he was looking at me too. I tried to look mad but I knew that wasn't the feeling.

I read the letter he sent me and my heart almost melts right there. He's trying to fix things.

It said: "Sorry for not telling you, I didn't want you to think that I am a bad friend but it kinda happened and I lost track of time, that's why I didn't tell you. Anyways, wanna come sit with me at lunch so we can talk? Please say yes"

When I finished reading it, I knew that I was gonna forgive him. It wasn't his fault that I didn't have the balls to confess to him and I knew about his crush but I guess the hope never went away.

I looked at him and nodded with a smile.
