Chemistry in History

Taken by the barbie

And I'm back!

I walk into school today with my head down. The events of yesterday keep replaying in the back of my mind like a broken tape and I try not to think about them much.

I try to convince myself that what I did was the right thing to do because I can't do that Carly. She's been an amazing friend and for me to just stab her in the back by kissing the person she likes is the worst thing I could do. I made the right choice by stopping what was happening with Ryan.

But why does it feel so wrong then?

I walked into the classroom, and was greeted with a smiling Carly.

"What happened to you?" Lily asked as I passed her desk.

"Bad headache" I said shaking my head.

"You okay Bella, you look tired?" Carly asked worried as I sat down. The pang of guilt I felt increased by how concerned she was.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just hate Mondays." I said trying to laugh a little, but it came out fake. She nodded, before she went on her phone.

"Hello my favorite people!" Shouted a edgy and pitchy voice. Scarlet.

I cringed and rubbed my face with my hands. I couldn't deal with her today, or any day for the matter, but today was just too much.

I heard Carly gasp, and I looked at her expression. Her face was filled with shock, which made me turn the way she was looking. There standing, was Scarlet, and arms were rapped around Ryan in a side hug. He didn't remove her or even looked uncomfortable, instead he had his arm wrapped around her waist. My jaw dropped and anger boiled my blood.

"Meet my boyfriend." Scarlet said to Penny. Just like everyone else, Penny's eyes were popping out and her mouth was wide open. Tammy nudged her to say something and she cleared her throat.

"Wow uh- hi Ryan." She stuttered.

Scarlet look unimpressed so she rolled her eyes and walked with Ryan in toe to his seat. 

"Move it." She said to Alex. He looked at Ryan with a look, and when Ryan nudged his head to the side, Alex got up.  He looked pissed, but Scarlet ignored him sitting down and then making Ryan sit with her as well.

"How the hell did that happen?" Carly whispered, I shrugged still looking at them.

How could he?! It was less than 24 hours since we broke up, if you could even call that a break up, and he comes to school with that bitch as his girlfriend. What the hell did I see in him, if he doesn't even have the character to be a freaking human. You cannot do that!

Was he trying to make me jealous or what?! Because if he was, it hasn't affected any of my decisions one bit. I was right to stop and him being so rude shows me more proof of what I did was right.

Carly's pov

I don't know what to think. I sit, looking at Ryan and his new girlfriend, and all I can think about is...

Well that's the thing, I don't know. I've been crushing on Ryan ever since I came to this school, and that was a long time ago. I've been crazy about his looks and his ways, even though you could say some of them aren't that great. 

I know I'm not the only one crushing on him, probably every girl has had a crush on him once (except for Ally of course) but obviously I've had it the longest. 

I'm not going to lie, I've cried once because of how desperate I was for him. No one knows, but a year ago, I would've done anything for him. It's wearing off now, or maybe I'm actually realizing what kind of guy he is.
