A Twisted Love Story

∞Chapter 10∞

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

Cole

I can't believe she told her that we weren't together. It just happened last night. Was she that proud? I don't know what Brittany would try now knowing this newfound information.

The last bell rang to dismiss us from class. I walked slowly to Zoe's locker stalling as much as possible. I even stayed late to talk to my teacher about some random problem on the homework. I didn't want to talk to Brittany because I knew it wasn't going to go well.

I made it to Zoe's locker and she was there but she seemed standoffish. I gave her a quick kiss.

"Have fun with your Bae!"

"That's not funny."

"It is to me."

I just walked away after that. I couldn't deal with her and her attitude at the moment.

Brittany and I made it to the auditorium and we sat down on the steps. I could practically feel the lust from her.

We were having a normal conversation at first. Then she started asking me to kiss her. I wasn't going to but I didn't say anything.

"Please baby, just kiss me."

"Kiss me."

"Kiss me."

I saw light all of a sudden and I knew someone was listening and then it went away. They were going to take it out of context. I kissed her but only to shut her up I didn't feel anything toward her. This wasn't going to go around no one would even know it happened.

I went home and opened my text messages. Crystal text me and said she heard and that Zoe heard.

My heart dropped.

Zoey

I listened to music to calm myself. I mean I think I'm over analyzing it right? He wouldn't do anything with her. I wouldn't know he could be lying, wouldn't be the first time.

I just did all my homework. My u.s. history teacher be losing her damn mind. Like she give us homework on top of homework.

I took a break from my homework and texted my sister. She always knew the worse things to say to me when I was upset. She grew up in the city so she has that I don't care attitude about things. I, on the other hand, actually care and if I care you have to mean a lot to me.

Me: Hey sis!

Her: hey what's wrong?

Me: how do you know something is wrong?

Her: just a sense IG. Tell me

I pretty much told her everything.

Her: why do you care so much? You shouldn't care your young you don't need to worry about boys.

Me: okay thanks

That didn't help me at all. She was my favorite person to go to for advice. Note the sarcasm.

Next thing I knew the birds were chirping and the sun rays were shining through my window.

"Why is it morning! Go away sun," I screamed at the window. I love going to sleep as the next guy but the only thing I don't like is waking up. It's the hardest thing in the world to do especially after a good dream that you don't want to wake up from.

Now I had to go to school and act like I didn't hear anything yesterday. I got to my locker started putting my things away while listening to lay you down. I couldn't hear and l anyone and I wanted it to stay like that until Keisha came.

We talked and I told her about what I heard yesterday and she couldn't believe her ears, neither had I.

Cole walked up and didn't say anything.

"Can we talk?"

"Yes..."

We walked away from all ears.

"It wasn't what it sounded like yesterday. She kept trying to get me-"

"Yea I know. She wanted you to kiss her. Did you?"

"No I promise you I didn't."

"Alright fine. All I wanted to know," I looked at the clock, "I have to go to class before she closes the door on me."

"Bye."

I went to class and tried my hardest to focus on the teacher but I couldn't. I just sat with my head down and drew little pictures of my notebook.

When fourth period came around I couldn't wait to tell Crystal what Cole said.

"That's very...interesting."

"What do you mean?"

"He sent me screenshots of what they were talking about after he Told her we knew. It sounded like they were trying to compose a lie. I'll show you"

She pulled out her phone to find the screenshots. Once she found them she handed me get phone and I read them. It did seem like they were trying to get there lie together, which is crazy. They agreed on saying they were just talking about relationships. Why would they be taking about that if they are ex's? That doesn't make sense to me.

We got to lunch, I was still upset but I had no reason to be...right?

I couldn't fathom the idea of that happening again. I just couldn't.

We sat down laughed and talked and we acted like nothing happened even though it did. I always have to act like nothing happened whether its an argument, a accusation, or anything like that but I just bounced back when I was talking to him. To other people I would probably vent the entire time we are talking. If you think about it, it'll go away in no time.

Most of the time.
