Emotional Bruises (PorDee)

01

"I don't recall ever doing anything wrong to you Ann, in fact all i've ever shown you was my interest in you so why? Why do you hate me so much?" Michelle asked with confusion all over her face dying for the answer that I'm surprised she doesn't know the slightest bit.

"What do you think Dee?" As i looked at her face it was full of confusion. "The moment you set foot in this school with your 'vice presidents daughter perks' you have used them in securing the lead role every play haven't you had enough?! If you're trying to cheat your way into success might as well practice not being too obvious at it huh?"
"So that's what you're mad about? that I'm better than you in acting?? Grow up Ann how petty are you?"
"Better? You can't even stoop on my level Dee, though must be nice having your mommy pick out all your achievements for you"
"Don't talk about a topic you have not a single clue about Porsild" she says taking a step forward making me step back as my back hit the door. "You have not a single idea about how my mother's barely in my life and will possibly never be"
"Suck it up Michelle, you think if you weren't the vice presidents daughter you'd still be able to pluck out all those achievements you've accomplished?" I was too caught up in the moment to think about what i was spilling out my mouth. I was talking without thinking I made sense, i knew that but i was too mad to stop.

Thought i should've stopped. I was crossing the line and the following bars Michelle spit out after i said that I can truely say I deserved.

She held both my shoulders and pressed on pressure, not too much worrying that she'd break a bone but enough for me to feel her.

"Try for once feel a sense of Muditā Anntonia. My mom couldn't give less of a shit of the awards i get as long as i liked women she looks at me with disgust. I'd never thought you were this kind of person Ann. I always thought very highly of you and whenever you were mean to me in every short interaction we had I think 'maybe she had a bad day' or any other excuses gaslighting myself that that wasn't really who you are, And i've been trying to hide this for a long time but now I don't see the point of it anymore. I had a crush on you Anntonia. You were the reason i joined theatre, i thought that if i worked hard, got lead roles, act well you'd wanna be friends with me. But no. You have proven to me that what I refused to think you are... is you." A millisecond after finishing her sentence to our shock the door was opened.

With the pressure Michelle was putting on me caused us to fall down. I groan closing my eyes then soon as i flutter them open michelle was on top of me and was too groaning i pain.

As Michelle opened her eyes it widened seeing me and quickly stood up and grabbed my left shoulder and took my right hands elbow to assist me to stand up.

As i stood up with her assistance i groan and touch my head slightly caressing it. "Are you alright?" Michelle asked worried dusting of my clothes.

What the fuck is wrong with her? After i just insulted her and yip yapped about her and her mothers relationship that i know not a single thing about yet she still helped me up, dusted my clothes with her hands and asked 'are you alright?'

Did she get brain damage from the fall?

Is she bipolar?

Is she insane?

Is she serious right now????

My thoughts were cut off as a certain someone spoke. "I expected much from the both of you. Other teachers speak very highly of you both though from your behavior today in my time, in my class is borderline unacceptable. From having a conversation while i'm talking upfront to taking forever to come back with the scripts and making out in the storage room??" Sorry Carl rambled

"Oh- we weren't-" Michelle tried to clarify while still holding on to me though Sir Carl didn't bother to let her finish

"I don't care what you were doing or not doing you both will still have to face major consequences! Understand? Go back to the classroom! By the looks of it you haven't even fetched out the papers. How disappointing." He sharply says

As i was about to take a step planning on going back to the classroom Michelle pulled me back. "Actually Sir do you mind if I take Ms Porsild to the nurse just to get her checked up?" She requested

"Be back as soon as possible, and meet me at my classroom after. I would like to have a word with the both of you." And with that Sir Carl walked off.

I shrugged Michelle off of me. "I'll walk myself to the clinic, you can go" i tell her while avoiding eye contact "Let's not let the argument get in between this Ann and stop being so stubborn."

•

"You're all good sweetie" I was told by the nurse that was checking on me. I smiled and stood up the bed. Michelle was still waiting outside phone in hand and from the looks of it she was busy texting.

"We should probably go see Sir Carl now" i say which caught her attention and made her look up my direction as she placed her phone in her pocket. "Was everything alright?" She asked as she stood up which made her look down a bit to catch my eyes since I was a bit shorter than her.

I nodded. "Though Michelle, can we talk for a moment?" I ask while fidgeting with my ring
"If you're thinking about our argument forget about it." She thinks ahead
"No. I just wanna say sorry, I was too caught up with my anger to think about what i was saying. Which led me to talk about topics i know nothing about which happens to be your relationship with your mother and It was very immature of me. I was too competitive, If I can do anything to make it up to you please tell me."

There was no wrong in being Competitive. Though it drives you to try your best, once it gets out of hand everything gets detrimental. I have realized what I've done wrong.

"I too am sorry. For stepping in your profession, I thought i was doing something for you but i wasn't."

"Stop apologizing Michelle you did nothing wrong." I rolled my eyes. "Sorry, it kinda became a habit" she scratched her head "you're doing it again" i giggled as we eventually laughed all of it off.

"But we're okay now" i ranted to Ruru over the phone once i got home. "Ann you're ignoring the very important detail in this story you're telling"
"Huh? What is it?" I asked confused.
"DONT YOU UNDERSTAND??? MICHELLE MARQUEZ DEE HAS A CRUSH ON YOU" He yelled making me pull the phone far from my ear.

Though he was right. Asking myself why she was still so nice to me after all that happened yet the answer was right in front of me. This made me feel a very weird feeling in my stomach.

My thoughts were cut off by Ru talking on my phone again. "Any words from Anntonia Porsild? You've gone very quiet Annie" Ru suspiciously asked.
