Silverton North High

Chapter 22: Wow

"No, what are you doing, Charles?" I ask him.

"I was just about to go and sneak into the girls' dorms to visit you and got the shock the shock of my life to find you a) in the boys' dorms b) in James' room and c) practically jumping into bed with him while you're dating me."

I looked at James and said that I needed to go and I lead Charles out of James' room and closed the door behind us.

"Charles, let's go to your room, now," I said, glaring at him.

"No, mom, I won't be ordered around by you," Charles replied.

"Okay, fine, you want to do this shadily in the passage, then so be it, Stark," I said spitting out his name. "You have no right to touch me without my consent, let alone manhandle me and pull me away from a nice hug. Who are you to decide where I can and cannot be, who I can and cannot be with and who I can and cannot hug Charles Owen Stark?

"What? You think that now that we're dating that you own me? Well here's some news for you, buddy, I am not your submissive slave and you are not my master. So I suggest you take that 50 Shades of Grey thought process and shove it up your friend, Christian Grey's derriere.

"Did you know that since we started dating you have not even given me one single present? I'm needy, but by golly, would it hurt for you to just buy me a Fizzer or, dare I ask, Ferrero Rocher?"

"Kris-"

I put up my hand effectively stopping whatever stupid thing he was going to say next. I took a step closer to him and poked his perfectly toned chest every time I said a word, "I. AM. KRISTEN LANCASTER.NOT something for you to order around."

"Fine, KRISTEN LANCASTER," he said and I stood back to cross my arms over my chest. He took a step closer to me and annoyingly towered over me. "No. I have not bought you something, I can't deny that. But you really can't pin all of our problems on me, now can you? You are never there when I want to hang out with you, or if you manage to clear your schedule for your friends you somehow end up spending more time with Jordan or Ally or anybody else more than you spend time with me and it sucks, Kristen.

"It sucks that I don't get to spend time with you and get to know you better. To know the small things like how you like toast with boiled egg and cheese with syrup on it or other silly things like that. I know that you're the type of person who likes people to know the small things about you, but how am I supposed to know the small things when I don't even get a chance to say hello to you?"

"Get over yourself. Just because you have trust issues don't include me in your problems. I came here to visit you, Charles, to come and spend time with you," I started.

"Which is why," Charles said, cutting me off, "You got so easily distracted? I mean seriously, Kris, how do you expect me to believe that? You don't do girlfriend things with me for a whole 2 month period and I find you hugging another guy and you say that you were actually coming to spend time with me? I find that hard to believe."

"Charles, will you just-" and I cut myself off.

There's no reason for me to explain myself. I know what my true intentions were and I will not explain myself to somebody who is supposed to trust me, someone who I considered a friend.

I looked up at Stark and said, "The whole base of a relationship is trust. You were jealous of James even before we dated and you're jealous, now, over nothing. You're supposed to trust that your girlfriend won't lie to you, or at least trust that your friend wouldn't deceive you. And you don't. So I see no reason to carry on with this relationship, Charles."

"Take the C and L out of Clover," Charles started, remembering how I'd told him my friend's ex said he would break up with her.

"That's you and me, babe," I finished with a bitter smile on my face and made my way back to my room.

I feel for Kris..

On that sad note
