The Ugly Bet

Chapter 27 - When It Rains

"Dustin, what had gone wrong?"

Stupid question yet I wanna ask.

If only I could.

I rolled my body to the left. Today is another fucking Monday. It's been a week since that incident at Dustin's place. That fucking Monday at Dustin's place.

And he's been ignoring me since that fucking Monday.

Fuck Monday.

Fuck his cold shoulders.

Fuck what happened.

Fuck this feeling.

You're screwed...

I bit my lip then buried my face to a pillow. I wish I would just die choking here. But that would be even more stupid. What I should do now is talk to him.

I wish at least he would look at me.

I gasped for air and removed the pillow I wished to use to kill me. If only I was out of my mind and gone crazy for having a. boyfriend who doesn't even give me a glance for a week. I remembered how stupid I felt waiting for him to come at the rooftop last Tuesday. I've waited for him to bring his homecooked food for the whole lunch break. At the last minute I texted him if he had lunch already. He replied plainly, "Yes."

Yeah. I should talk to him. If he wants to break up with me, at least he tell me. Just not like this, when he left me clueless of what's happening and what his problem is. He left me hanging on a cliff without even a rope. That may sound a bit exagged, yeah, but that's how it felt like.

How I freaking felt like.

And damn, it hurts.

Instead of going insane thinking about what's happening, I took a shower. It's still early coz I slept by eleven last night and woke up at one and all I did was think about that. I would just kill my brain cells thinking.

Was it because of Uncle Austin?

Yeah, that could be. Why not? Of course, who wouldn't feel bad when your Dad treats you like you're a mistake then treat your girlfriend like she's the queen of all fairies and could grant all his wishes?

But what about Ashley?

Ashley was always with Dustin and Greg didn't talk anything about them. It even felt more like Greg was avoiding me. I turned the shower off and looked at myself on the mirror.

"What's wrong with you!"

Oh boys.

I got dressed and grabbed a box of chocolate chip cookies from the fridge. Just in case I couldn't stand Dustin's and Greg's indifference, at least I wouldn't kill myself starving at the rooftop. Dying of hunger is a shame to me and my family.

"Hey, you're very early," I turned to my back and saw Ashley, already prepared to go. She looked at the clock hanging above the fridge. "It's just 6:30, why were you already dressed?"

"I just woke up earlier, that's why. You're early too." I said, drinking a glass of milk while watching her face. She didn't look at me and kept eating cereals.

"I'm picking up Greg from his house. You... wanna come, with me?"

"No," Of course not. Obviously, you didn't mean to invite me. "I'll just have Marietta drive for me. I just got to finish something before going to school."

"Okay."

Before seven, she has left already. What a hurry. She must be avoiding questions from me. I really want to ask her about the two guys' issue about me coz she surely knows what's behind the drama. Why not, Greg and Dustin were her boys.
