"So basically they blew you off to spend time together" I grinned putting a little mascara on
"Yeah. But it's fine I was feeling like a third wheel with them, and Neishas really cool" I looked down to my phone which I had leaned against the mirror
"I mean you weren't feeling like a third wheel you actually were one"
"Great thank you for a reminder how the rest of my life is going to be Mel very kind of you" I smiled looking through my drawer for my lip balm
"You're welcome. I can't believe you're in California right now, that's so cool I really want to see California one day. I want to see a lot when I'm older, travel a lot you know ?"
"Yeah, I really like travelling too it's so fun seeing so many new things"
"I really want to go to Europe one day, like Spain or Sweden, Denmark or Italy or... oh England of course, like London is a must see" he smiled at the phone and opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by someone else speaking
"Who are you talking to ?" Walker looked up from his phone lowering it down a little while I also stopped for a second to think
"Hi, I'm Mel" Walker looked down at his phone frowning a little
"Oh, hi Mel I'm Neisha" the girl sat down next to Walker and waved to me
"I heard you have to be the babysitter today"
"Yeah, at least Walkers cooler than Aryan"
"Oh please you have to say that again when he's here" I looked at the time and stood up grabbing my phone and my purse and going downstairs
"I have to get to work, I'll talk to you later"
"Bye Mel" Neisha called out before we hung up and I went to put my shoes on
"Im off to work Cassie"
"Wait I'll come with you" my sister rushed over to me and grabbed her shoes "it's so boring at home"
"Can't relate I love it at home"
"Yeah cause you're either with Cole and Des or on the phone with that guy" I turned to look at her with wide eyes, I didn't know that she noticed me talking to Walker
"That guy...?"
"Come on Mel I'm neither stupid nor deaf you two are talking all day every day, who is he anyway?" I nodded a little thinking about how I was gonna handle this, I could tell her that it's Walker but then there would be a big chance that she might go around and brag to people about it which I definitely didn't want, I locked the door behind us before we started walking
"Just someone" I shrugged
"Is he your boyfriend ?" I turned my head to her again shaking it
"NO, uh no he's uh- he's not my boyfriend"
"Ohh" she nodded "yeah not your boyfriend"
"Cassie" she was being so sarcastic and said that in a knowing tone as if there was something to be known "cass"
"Cole" my sister grinned as Colton joined us on our way to the cafe, we were working together again which I honestly really liked, I liked all my co-workers (except one of them she was.... something) but I really enjoyed when the shift was just a hang out with my best friend
"Cassandra"
"Woah what have you done to get full named" Cole grinned putting his phone away
"Melly has a boyfriend"
"I do not" Cole raised an eyebrow at me making me role my eyes "I don't have a boyfriend cass is just being a brat"
"Then who are you talking to all day every day ?"
"No one"
"Sure"
"Well I don't really care, have you done the history homework ?"
"Not yet"
"She didn't have time to do it from talking to her boyfriend" I looked at my sister who skipped off taking out her phone
"Why is she so annoying today ?" I rolled my eyes watching her
"Well is she just being annoying or is there something to it ?"
"There's nothing to it he's my friend"
"Who ?"
"Someone"
"So it's not no one"
"It's someone, everyone is someone"
"Okay"
"I hate you, all of you. Why does everyone react that way ?"
"I didn't say anything"
"Yeah but you're thinking it"
"I'm not thinking anything"
"Yeah that's nothing new"
"Wait-"
"Yeah" he hit my arm playfully
"You're an asshole"
"Hey"
We went on talking about some random things from school and him telling me some of the new gossip from the football team, I got all my infos about everyone from Cole and Destiny since I didn't really hear from it any other way
People knew me, or knew about me but not in the same way they knew Colton or Destiny, it was different and it was so difficult to explain it
Sometimes I was surprised that people actually knew me, like when people who I've been going to school with for years mentioned my name I would get so happy, which is strange because obviously they knew my name, we had been in several classes together
It isn't that people didn't like me, it's just that I think people didn't care enough to have an opinion about me
But I also don't think that I really know myself, i don't really know who I am or how I'm feeling most of the time, which is bad and I am very aware of that but how do people figure out who they are ? When do they start figuring it out and why did I miss it ?
Destiny knows very well who she is and Cassie does too, it's scary that my little sister figured it out before me but I'm also happy that she figured it out and isn't like me
Authors note:
I love writing. I'm finally listening to myself through writing myself into a different person and it's like less scary
I had a good cry writing this cause what is wrong with me ? 🤪
The comfort that writing this down brings is actually insane
Anyways I'm feeling wayy better than yesterday and thank you everyone who commented yesterday I love you all 🤭🫶🫶
I actually had a crazy moment yesterday where I felt so much like shit and full on went "what if I just stop at this point I don't know how to keep this going" which is insane cause what the hell ?? I'm NOT leaving this story unfinished.
I don't even know what I'm gonna do when I'm done wit this cause I can't not write
Well enough of me talking I hope you enjoyed the chapter my lovesss 🫶🫶
