As usual, I woke up earlier than Levi. He slept calmly in his bed after keeping me up all night with his dumb questions and him doubting my sexuality for the 14th time. As I stood up I stared at the sleeping handsome boy.
"You're lucky I didn't bring any heavy books with me" I whispered my staring turning into glares
I chose my outfit for the day, black pants, a light brown shirt, and an oversized jean jacket, and a white hat. I skipped to the washroom and got ready. As I was tying my shoelaces Levi finally decided to wake up.
"Finally you're awake," I said
"What time is it midget?" Levi asked as he sat on his bed
"9:30," I said
"Oh shit, we're gonna be late!" Levi screamed as he ran to the washroom
"Don't forget your clothes this time!" I screamed
Levi came out rushing out and grabbed his clothes. I rolled my eyes and chuckled. Just in case I got my fully-charged phone and walked out of the room. I leaned against the wall waiting for the rest of the group. William came first and gave an awkward wave and leaned against the wall in front of me. I waved back and went back to reading on my phone.
"I'm sorry" William whispered
"For what?" I asked
"Nevermind" He muttered
I scoffed.
"If you don't say exactly what you're apologizing for then how will I know?" I asked
"How would you not know?" He asked with his poker face
"I don't know could've slipped my mind" I shrugged
If he was going to apologize to me days later he should do it right
"That's the most ridiculous excuse I've heard" He glared
"It's not an excuse either you apologize right or don't at all" I shrugged
You might think I'm over exaggerating with apologies but I'm not. Since I wasn't good at apologizing (or with words) I lost many dear friends but at the same time I wasn't unreasonable I knew when I was wrong and right, if I kept my stubbornness is because people would insult me or yell at me to get their point through
"Why can't you just accept my apology?" William asked
"Because you're just saying sorry without telling me exactly what you did" I glare now getting annoyed
"Well you know don't you?!" William stood straight practically screaming at me
I put my phone in my pocket and stood straight.
"I do!" I screamed back
"Then?!" William asked
"But do you? You're saying sorry but what are you sorry for and why are you sorry?!" I screamed "It doesn't mean anything to me if it doesn't mean anything to you first"
William and I, done with each other's screaming, leaned back.
"I'm sorry William, I didn't mean to scream at you, I'm short-tempered so it was bound to happen" I chuckled awkwardly "I'll watch my tongue"
"You didn't say anything insulting so why are you apologizing?" He asked
"Out of habit, I guess" I shrugged
"Okay"
We stayed silent for a minute.
"I'm sorry too, for screaming and going along with what Ash and Lev were saying, also if I hurt your feelings" William mumbled and looked down at the floor
