Ordinary Human Beings

29: Sleeping Dogs Can Never Lie For Long

Walking to the bathroom after study, I stopped by the door once I heard voices coming from the room next to the bathroom. Familiar voices.
Now eavesdropping is what I do best, so I crept over to the door of the room, and pressed my ear against it. My mouth slightly opened when I heard Liliana on the other end, speaking.

"I can't believe she's actually falling for her," Audrey laughed. "I thought Yasmina was smarter than that. Didn't she believe you when you told her that Kendall isn't good for her?"

"I don't know. It's like being in the same room with Kendall makes her shake. Or maybe that's not the only thing shaking in there."

They both laughed while I accidentally exchanged glances with Isabella, who made her way over to me. She followed my lead without question, her ear pressed against the wood.

"With the way Yasmina acts, I wouldn't be too shocked if she hadn't already given that kitty to Kendall. Heck, I bet her and Yasmin fuck every single day."

Infuriated, I flung the door open, watching Audrey and Liliana stand up at the same time. "Really Audrey? Every night? Do you know what that type of shit can do to your body?"

"Kendall! Hey..." Audrey trailed off, playing with her hair.

"For people that got pissed at us eavesdropping, you suck at gossiping," Isa chimed in, whistling. "Gossiping in the hostel? With these thin walls? You're a different type of breed, Audrey."

At a loss for words, Audrey pointed at Liliana, who trembled. "Kendall..."

"I dated you," I stated, pointing at her. "I dated you. For one year, Liliana. One freaking year."

"Kendall, come on now, it's getting late," Isa interjected, her arms around me. "We can do this tomorrow."

"No," I blatantly said. "Liliana, why?"

"I..." She looked at Audrey, who shrugged. "Kennie, this is just one big misunderstanding."

I walked over to her, standing right in front of her. "You're so fucking dead to me."

Her eyes began to water, and her eyebrows lowered. "Kendall."

"I've known you for a long time, Liliana. I gave you the fucking world, and this is what you do? Prance around the enemy like that?" I began to laugh, irate at the entire situation. "We were working on rebuilding a friendship, Liliana! I began to forgive you for the New Year's thing, but now this is what you do? You stab me in the back twice?"

"I'm sorry." That's all she could muster.

"Sorry? Sorry?" I laughed even harder, looking at Isa. Behind her was Kaitlyn, Sofia and Yasmina, probably drawn here because of all the noise. "Fuck you, García. Fuck you."

"I'm sorry, Kendall-"

"From this day, you're fucking dead to me. Do you hear me? Dead," I spat, staring into her eyes. "I loved you, and this is what you do? Are you serious?"

"Kendall, I think it's best you go back to your room," Kait suggested quietly. "It's almost time for bed."

I continued to glare at Liliana, who couldn't return the gaze. She's just as good of a Liar as Sofia and Audrey. I would've never expected it from her, maybe Sofia, but not Liliana. I guess that's what happens when you fall in love with the wrong person, you get hurt beyond measure.

"This isn't over, García," I reminded her, fighting back the tears. "This isn't fucking over either, Lennox."

"Oh, I think it is," she said, grinning at me. "I told you not to go to war with me, you'll get hurt."
