I Choose That Bad Boy

Melanie

My heart was beating very fast.

I didn't look back to wave him bye.

My heart still wanted Julius so this shouldn't be happening and what the fuck just happened??

My mind carelessly travelled back to five minutes ago. Tyler's strong arms around my waist and my body against his rock hard body.

"Stop it,stop it,stop! He's a jerk" I shook my head,standing in front of my dorm door. I flung the door open and my eyes widened in shock when I saw Mavis and some other girl making out.

I quickly shut the door back,my mouth still open,I spun around,backing the door. "Holy shit"

The door opened again,the other girl ran out and Mavis dragged me in.

"Oh my God,Mavis" I looked around but Ava wasn't there. Mavis just looked at the floor.

"That was a lot right?" She finally said and I nodded. She sighed and sat back down. "I'm sorry you had to find out that way" I sat next to her.

"You're gay"

She smiled and looked sideways at me,even though we were sitting,she was still taller than I was.

"Yeah,I guess I am"

"Wow" I blinked twice.

"Well,when I was in 10th grade,I refused to believe I didn't like boys but thinking of kissing boys made me wanna puke" She made a gagging noise and rolled her eyes.

I just stared at her. I'd never met a gay person in real life and this one's my friend!

"That's new...to me,I mean"

"Okayy,enough with me. Why did you fling the door open like that"

My thoughts raced back to Tyler again. My heart skipped a bit and it felt like I was going to loose my breath.

I took a deep breath and shook my head. "It's nothing"

"Really?" She cocked her brows at me.

"Okay fine,I think there's a guy in class I like but when he held my hand yesterday,I felt nothing" My head dropped. I felt Mavis wrap her arms around me.

"It's okay. I felt that way too until I met Tera,the girl that you just saw" I felt my eyes prickle from tears.

"I wish I would find the one asap. I'm tired of being single and alone" The tears finally came. Mavis wiped them and hugged me tighter. Just then Ava walked in. She stared at Mavis and then at me.

"Ugh Mavis,what did you do" She walked to me,took my arm and pulled me to herself.

"Why do you love blaming me for everything" Mavis held a smile and Ava rolled her eyes.

"Wanna talk a walk? With me?" I guess I needed one. I nodded and she smiled. "Mavis! Keep your girlfriend out of my makeup! She keeps messing it up!" I heard Mavis laugh as we stepped out of the room. "Sure!"

************

"Here" She said as she popped a can of alcohol and gave it to me. It was already 8pm then. I took a big gulp and shook my head.

"Gahh" The bitter sweet taste filled my tongue.

"You haven't had beer before?"

"No I have but not this one" I took a good look at it. I loved the feeling at my throat so I gulped down some more,till I emptied the can.

"Ahh,that was wild" I giggled. Ava chuckled and continued to sip hers.

"So what you gonna do about Tyler" I took a deep breath,feeling my head get light.

"I dunno,I don't want to be with him,at least I know that. It's Julius I want" I sniffed and smiled awkwardly.

"You're drunk already"

I shrugged. "That shit was heavy" Ava laughed and opened another can. I took it from her hands and gulped everything down immediately.

"Melanie! That was mine!"

I laughed shortly. Ava stared at me.

"You poor thing,second day here and you're already messed up" My world was spinning and my head felt light.

"Is it obvious?" She nodded. I dropped my head down on my knees,my hair falling over my legs.

"This is insane,I don't like Tyler but my heart was racing then and I'm still wondering why" I mumbled. I felt Ava stroke my hair gently.

"Come on...let's go back,Mavis might be worried by now" Ava helped me up. I staggered to my feet,my hair falling over my face.

"Look at your pink cheeks" Ava pulled them. I smiled childishly.

"When did you find out about Mavis's sexuality?" Ava tried to hold me up,I couldn't see clearly.

"Our second year here,we weren't roomies until our second year,that's when we became close" I nodded.

"How did you find out" I laughed, almost falling over my face.

"I caught them making out"

"Oh dangg"

I chuckled.

"Was it bad?" I shook my head.

"At least she's found her 'someone' "

We got to our room and opened the door quietly incase Mavis was asleep. But my wobbly legs woke her up.

"Hey! Why did you guys stay so late,I was waiting!" She rubbed her eyes,pouting at us.

"So sorry Mavis,were here now" I flung my arms around her neck,Ava kicked off her shoes and lay on her bed with a loud sigh.

"Ava did you get her drunk?"

"What do you mean did I get her drunk,I didn't force her" Ava shrugged. I smiled.

"Mavis...I have a or some words of advice for you"

Mavis cocked her brow. "Go on"

"Be yourself" I paused,letting the words sink in. "You know you're gay,but you think you're not. I need you to be you and don't give a shit about what others think okay?!" I yelled in her ears.

Mavis just stared at me nodding. She wrapped her arms around me.

"Thanks so much Melanie,I feel better about that" I nodded.

"Okay,okay. I'm getting lost" Ava rolled her eyes.

"Time to get you to bed" Mavis tapped my nose,making me giggle. I nodded and she and Ava had to force my shoes off my legs cause I argued to wear them to bed.

"Goodnight Mel"

"Night guys" Once my head touched the pillow,I fell into a deep,deep sleep.
