Mr. Jerk-face Wants Me Back? F*ck Yeah

The Drunk Gummy Bears

''Hey redhead. We have French together'' Danny's voice ''woke me up'' and just so you know,I'm the dyed kind of redhead. Not the natural-carrot like color redhead.

''Oh,joy'' I said sarcastically. ''Shut up. I can see you can barely control your excitement'' she said laughing and stick her tongue out at me. ''Oh C'mon Morticia,what are you,like,5?''.

''Hey do you like French?''

''No,not really. Why?''

''Well your opinion is not going to change here. Our French teacher is the worst. He spits when he speaks,invading your personal space is his thing and his breath stinks of alcohol. I wonder how he became a teacher. Oh not to mention the fact that he hasn't taught us one sentence in French. However,he curses in French when he gets mad. That's something you gotta see!''

''Can't wait'' I said. Sarcasm dripping from the 2 words that left my mouth before I crashed into someone and lost balance landing on the cold floor.

''Fuck fuck fuck''.

''Chill Kays. You're good. Lemme help you.''

Connor's hands found mine and he gently pulled me up.

''Sorry,I..didn't see you there and I...''

I wanted to take my ''sorry'' back when I realized who I had bumped into.

''Yeah, I noticed that. It's okay. But you owe me one''

''Last time I checked I didn't owe you anything so shut up''

''Whoa,no need to get mad Redhead. Remember,the parking lot,k?

''Don't call me Redhead!!''

''Later'' he shouted and was already walking in the opposite direction.

I spent the next 2 weeks after that,ever after-school with him. Truth is,I though I had misjudged him. He was always smiling and always putting a smile on my face too. We'd go for walks on the beach and watching the sunset together while he was listening to every little stupid thing I felt like saying and kissing me right after. I could feel his smile against my lips and...I liked that.

I became his ''official girlfriend'' after those two weeks. Truth is,things became kinda boring a month after but I refused to see. I still liked him and there were so many other thing I wanted to find out about him. He always seemed so careless,like nothing in the world could bother him but to me it was obvious. His eyes showed so much pain and hurt and he was always trying to hide it. I wanted to make him feel free and show him he could trust me. I wanted to be the one to stand by his side,help him fight his demons and eventually ''drown'' them. I wanted a lot of things. Took me a while to realize that these things he said,they were not something he meant. They were just words he had learned by heart which ''guaranteed success''. He was right. I did change. I became such a girly-girlfriend,hanging by his balls most of the time and... for fuck's sake,I need to get over this.

I'll just call Austin.

''Hey,I'm at the beach. Wanna come over?

''Umm..sure,where exactly are you?

''At the red house''

''I'll be there in 10. Hey,is everything okay?''

''Not really. I'll tell you when you get here.''

In these three months all of them,Danny,Mike,Austin,they all made me love them like I'd never loved anyone else. Danny became the best friend I never had and Mike,the protective big brother I loved having around. Still,I could never put Austin in a certain category. I could not see him as a ''brother'' or ''just friend'' cause I was attracted to him but never really thought about it since most of the times my mind was preoccupied thinking of that son of a f*ck. Well,would you look at that? Seems like I've been standing in the wrong place for far too long and as they say ''time to move on'' right?
