My Other Half

Done

Damiona

I smile to myself while I turn back to my painting after Dominic left. I can't believe what just happened. He's my boyfriend, and I'm his girlfriend. God, I'm so happy. I can't wait to see him in the first period.

Determined to finish the painting I rush to get more paint when I trip over something. I look down to see Dominic's motorcycle helmet on the floor. He must have forgotten it. I grab it and rush out the door in hopes I can catch him before he's gone.

I jog down the hallway and see Dominic with his back turned. He's talking to someone and they have their arms around him. I take a quiet step closer to them, trying to be discreet, and I see that the person he's talking to is Alexandra. their faces aren't even two inches apart. And he has his hand on her waist. Then the unimaginable happens.

They kiss.

I stood there in shock for a second.

When they pull apart Alexandra looks straight at me, and that's when I throw a dominic's helmet and run. I run as fast as I can, desperate to get away from them.

I can hear Dominic yelling my name behind me, but all that does is make me run faster. Tears start to stream down my face. I turn the corner i Immediately head for the faculty bathroom. Once I'm inside I lock the door and slide down it.

I can't believe I was that stupid. I can't believe I fell for his sick jokes again. I knew it was too good to be true, I knew there was no way he could actually like me.

I just sit there crying when I hear Dominic's voice in the hallway, asking me to come out and talk but I just toon him out. 

Does he really expect me to go out there and listen to his lies? I wait in the bath room for Dominic to leave and when I finally hear him go I start crying again. I cry and cry and cry until I pass out.

When I finally do wake up, it's to the sound of someone knocking on the door.

"Come on kid, you need to get out of there. School's over, and you can't sleep in the faculty bathroom."

I hear the familiar voice of my art teacher Mr. Rafe. He has us call him by his first name because he says it makes him feel old

Wait, did he just say that school is over? No it can't be. I spent the whole day passed out in the faculty bathroom. God how long did I cry for, to make me sleep for over 6 hours?

I stand up from the floor and stare at my face in the mirror and see that I look like shit. But there's nothing I can do. When I unlock the door and step into the hallway I stand before the teacher whos's assignment I was meant to finish 6 hours ago.

When Mr. Rafe sees me; he instantly grabs my shoulder and checks me for any sign of physical hurt.

"My god Damiona, are you ok? You look like hell. What happened?"

He ask worriedly

"I I don't really want to talk about it. "

I say emotionlessly

"Alright, well are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Um, what time is it?"

I say as I rub my eyes.

Mr rafe checks his watch

"Uuh its 5:00pm"

"5:00pm!?"

I say stunned

"Shit I have to get home."

I say scrambling, but before i can take off to the art room mr rafe speaks
