How to Date Someone You Hate

Chapter 10: Girls NOT supporting girls(Mavis)

I wake up way before my alarm and end up just staring at the ceiling. 

This whole thing is so stupid. Why would Allison think something happened between us?! Ugh.

I hear a small ding and pickup my phone. It's from Crimson.

Crimson: Are you and Warren fucking?

I choke on air. 

Me: NO! where the hell did you hear that?!?!

Crimson: Check Allisons latest post.

I log onto my social media account and find that I've been tagged by about 5 different people, all of whom I don't know except by name. 

The post is a trend about showing you and the person your SO left you for.

Allison had her photo of her looking like a total goddess, and me?

She put a photo from 4 months ago of me stuffing my face with French fries. That was a joke post!

The comments are filled with people calling me a fatty(I'm only a few pounds larger than what society sees as ideal), comforting Allison, and someone who said they found my address and will comment it if they get to 2k likes. 

Allison only has 323 views, so it's safe to say that probably won't happen. 

But nevertheless, I'm freaking out. Why did I get from behind that couch? No, why did I even agree to babysit a guy that's only 3 months younger than me?

I scream into my pillow when I get another text.

Elton: are you ok?

Heh. At least he had the decency to ask. 

Me: I dunno at this point man

Elton: I've already got Pizza delivered to your house. Want me to tell Crimson to come over?

Me: Sure, you can come if you want

There's a pause

Elton: I can't, I'm with someone

Oh great. My life is falling apart, and Elton is with someone.

 Wait. 

ELTON IS WITH SOMEONE?!

Me: WHO?

Elton: This isn't about me right now

Me: I need a distraction

Elton: Fine. I'm with my cousin. We're having a Harry Potter Marathon.

I let out a small laugh. Of course Elton wasn't actually with anyone. 

We talk for a little bit until Elton tells me he has to go, and then I'm left alone again.

Crimson texts me again.

Crimson: You there?

Me: Sorry, was talking to Elton

Crimson: You want me to come over? Elton just texted me

Me: yes please

Crimson: Trick question, I'm already at your doorstep holding the pizza. 

...

Crimson gives me a ride to school since she spent the night. When we get there, I can already feel the eyes on me. 

"I can't do this. Drive me home." I start to turn back to Crimsons jeep, but she pulls me back. 

"You can do this. I won't let anyone bother you, ok?" Easier said than done. But I just nod, and we head inside. 

It's fairly calm, aside from the whispers and stares. Someone mutters "slut" under their breath, but Crimson shuts them up with a look. 

We get to the quad where Elton is reading a book, and he quickly comes over to us once he notices us coming in. "Are you alright?" Elton grabs my hand and squeezes it. 

"I think so..." I look around the quad and see Warren staring at me. He quickly turns away and continues talking to his friends. One of them is the same guy Lucy asked out, but he's holding hands with the short one. Huh. 

I can't think about Brians sexuality right now though, because a group of girls is walking towards me. 

"You're a terrible person, you know that, right?" The blonde one in the middle pushes up her glasses as she speaks.

"You don't sleep with a guy who has been in a relationship for 4 years." A girl with pigtails growls. "You don't understand, Warren isn't the one who cheated-" I try to explain but am cut off by their leader. "Allison would never cheat! How dare you assume that! Allison has been in shambles since she went over to Warrens house last night to surprise him! And there you two were, going at it on the floor!" Holy shit. Allison went that far?

"That's not true." Crimson gets in the leader's face. "This isn't your conversation." a girl wearing a purple wig snaps. "It is now! No one harasses my friend about things that aren't even backed up by evidence!" Crimson takes a step back though, clearly intimidated. 

Elton finally speaks up. "You guys shouldn't believe everything you hear." "Stay out of this, Elton." I whisper. "We don't need them coming after you too." "What about Crimson?" Elton whispers back. "She can handle herself. We don't need you to be bitch slapped." 

Elton just sighs. Thats when another group comes to us, but this time it's filled with a bunch of horny dudes. I am tired of listening to stuff like this, and I pretty much zone out while they make what I assume are lewd comments. Elton is standing up for me, but I can't handle this. 

Before you know it, I'm letting go of Elton and dashing into the school. I hide in the nearest girl's bathroom and take a few deep breaths. I need to talk to Warren and get him to sort this shit out. I'm pretty much unknown to the whole school. But now...? Yikes.

This whole thing sucks ass.
