Why Do I? (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 30: I hate her

Allison's Perspective

I stopped in my tracks when a volunteer called her and announced that she had a visitor. I turned to see who it was and it was someone from the other school. I watched as the other girl ran towards her and threw her arms around her.

Antoine looked at me, "Who is that?"

Feeling a bit uneasy, I just shrugged, "I don't know. Must be her friend from the other school."

Antoine went to Lori to return her phone, so I just stood there observing the other two. I noticed that they were a bit touchy with each other, especially the other girl. I didn't like her vibe at all. Cadence was laughing a lot though as they talked.

Then Antoine came back, "Are you okay? They seem to be having a lot of fun."

I wasn't sure what to feel, to be honest. I tried to calm myself down. But then my heart dropped as I watched the other girl grab her hand, brought it up to her lips, and kissed it. I saw how Cadence retracted her hand, feeling a bit awkward.

I decided to go back, "If they ask where I am, tell them I'm busy." Antoine nodded, then I was out of the scene.

I made my way to the office and saw Audrey inside, "Is there any paperwork I can work on? I need a bit of distraction."

She looked at me with confusion, "Distraction on what? What's going on?"

I was on the verge of crying, but I suck it up, "Just give me work that doesn't involve interacting with the campers. Please."

She was really worried, but thankfully she didn't ask any more questions, "I think I can make you my secretary for today. I'll tell Daniel, don't worry."

"Thank you," I walked over to her and took a seat. She then explained what to do with it. She also handed me half of the lists that needs to be checked later. We went to the cafeteria. I pulled out the checklist of the foods. Audrey would be the one dictating and I would be the one to write it. And with that, I was completely distracted by work. I forgot what had upset me in the first place.

It has been a few hours since I avoided the campers. I'm in the cabin, laying on the bed. I just didn't feel like socializing at the moment. There was no more work left to do, so my mind was a mess. I couldn't focus. I didn't want to be bored because I would end up overthinking everything.

Who was that girl earlier? Was she a friend? Or an ex-lover that came back to reclaim her heart? What would Cadence do?

Those were the questions that kept running through my mind. I wanted answers but I don't want to ask Cadence about this matter. I'm just afraid of what the answer would be. Then suddenly, my mind went blank for a moment. I realized I was crying.

"Why do I suddenly feel insecure...?" I whispered to myself as if another me would appear in front of me and provide an answer.

I wiped away all my tears as soon as I heard a knock. I walked slowly and opened the door to see who it was.

"Where have you been?" Her worried eyes met mine.

I didn't know what to feel when I saw her before me. I was happy and sad at the same time.

I muttered, "I've been... I got tired so I ended up here."

She nodded, "Why didn't you answer my texts?"

"I wasn't really paying attention to it, I'm sorry," I lied.

She eyed me for a second, I looked away because I couldn't maintain eye contact. The silence was too loud.
