𝑭𝑬𝑻𝑰𝑺𝑯 ❤︎︎ {DUSTIN LONG}

~CHAPTER 07~

(IVY'S POV)

it's been a few hours since school ended and i have already changed into my pajamas.

it was a small pink tank top and matching shorts. i get very hot at night, so this is really the only suitable way to sleep in my room.

i'm laying in bed going through last years' yearbook, just looking to see how many people changed.

i came across my picture.

last year, i could barely look at this picture without actually gagging, but now when i look at it i feel bad.

i feel bad for this girl.

the girl that constantly got bullied by, not only the people around her, but herself too.

a tear slid down my face as i was closing the book.

i stood up and walked to my vanity.

i just looked at myself.

i didn't know whether to feel bad or proud.

as i was looking at myself my phone rang.

i jumped on my bed and reached over to my bedside table and picked up the phone.

"hello?" i said.

"i told you i'd call .." the person spoke.

unlike the last time he called, i knew exactly who it was.

"yea you did, but i didn't think you actually would" i said smiling.

stop.

i had to stop smiling.

it's not like we were a thing. he'd never go for me, anyway.

"why's that?" dustin asked.

"well .. i don't know .. it's hard to believe that dustin long, my 7th grade bully, would call ME willingly." i said truthfully.

"oh god, please don't refer to me like that. i feel terrible for how i treated you, gorgeous. you know i would never do that to u again, right?" he said with guilt in his voice.

"i know .." i lied. "and don't worry, i won't refer to you as that again .." i said.

this time, i was telling the truth. but i, obviously, lied about knowing he wouldn't bully me again.

a part of me felt like he would.

it was the 'former fat girl' part of me.

"ok good .. so uh what are you- what are you doing right now?" he stuttered.

the day finally came.

i was making a cute boy stutter over me.

a dream come true honestly.

or maybe he just happened to stutter while talking to me.

who knows?
