My enemy, my everything

3. Forgive

I'm so confused

How can he go from bullying me every day to saying hello to me with a smile.

I'm walking home from school when I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket.

Unknown number: Hey, it's Grey. Can we talk?

I pause before answering. Speak of the devil.

Me: How'd you get this number? And what about?

Fucking weirdo, I keep walking until I feel another vibration in my back pocket.

Grey: I'm sorry for how rude I've been the past few years.

Right as I click on the notification another text comes through.

Grey: I had no idea what you've been through, but I understand now and I'd like to start off on the right foot.

I think for a moment before answering.

Me: You don't get to do that. You don't get to just say sorry and act like you didn't do that shit. No.

I put my phone in my pocket and ignore the next vibration.

Just keep walking.

When I get home, I say hey to my dad and we talk about how school went. Then i go up to my room and take a long hot shower. When I get back to my room from the bathroom there's 2 texts from Grey waiting on me.

Grey: Look Liliana. I'm really sorry. Please let me make it up to you. Can I just come over and we can work on the project and maybe talk about it.

Grey: Please, lili?

I think about it before responding. There's no harm in working on a project.

Me: Fine. Come over. I don't care.

I waited about 15 minutes until I hear a knock at my front door. It has to be Grey. I run down the stairs.

   I open the door and Grey is standing there in a white button up and dress pants. Who does he think he is?

   I guess he notices I'm looking at his outfit weird because he says "My mother told me to dress nicely because I was going to a girls house. She wouldn't let me leave until I changed."

I nod my head and motion for him to follow me up to my room. When we get there I sit at my desk and ask him to stand beside me so he can see my computer. "So me and you are in charge of decorations... so we have to get together with whoever's in charge of the theme so we can get decorations figured out. I want you to figure out who's in charge of that. Got it?"

He nods

"Sooo what was that fight about earlier?" I ask ever so bluntly.

"Oh, you saw that... he said something disrespectful about my sister. Called her a whore." he spits out

"Oh I'm sorry." I say in response and we just sit around for a few moments before he breaks the silence.

   "Do you think you'll ever forgive me?" He says with a sorry look and I can tell he means it. So I almost consider saying yes.

   "I don't know, Grey.. it's been years." I say looking away not wanting to see his reaction.

  "That's better than a no." I turn to look at him and he's smiling. I smile back.

   "Is there anything else we need to go over for the dance?" I ask ready for a nap.

  "No, I'll see ya at school." He smiles and starts walking away

  I guess I could forgive him if he found a way to make it up to me. I'm not sure
