Science of Owls

finally

Chapter 38 

Friday rolled around and I wasn't entirely sure about what Noodle was thinking about doing.

I was hoping he'd dump her skinny ass in front of everyone , or at least make her apologise.

I saw them walk down to the canteen , he had his hands in his pockets ... an unusual site if I must say.

I went to my usual place on the field, I was going to attempt to draw Noodle again. It was actually pleasant out there. Until I tried to sit down I didn't think the ground was wet.

" fuck , come on!" I grumbled and began to go back to the main part of the school.

As I was walking, I noticed someone sitting , more like curled in the corner next to some cardboard boxes up against the brick wall.

As I walked on I could see who it was.

" Amelia?" I asked, there was only a blonde mess of hair and skinny tanned legs sticking out.

She looked up at me, her eyes red and her lip quivering.

"what Nazz!?" she snarled.

" what happened to you, did you get run over by a bus?" I smiled.

" no, I wish" she said wiping some tears.

I genuinely felt sorry for her. I could take a pretty good guess at what had just happened.

" what what's happened?" I asked sitting down next to her.

" why should you care, you would only be happy hearing it" she snapped. And that was true. I hated her and was glade this happened. But seeing her like this was just annoying, I might as well help out.

" what do you mean, I don't even know what it is yet" I lied.

" mmmm" she grumbled, her hair was sticking out at awful angles. " he dumped me ..."

" really... about time"

" see !" she frowned.

" well , you are a bitch" I said without thinking. She looked at me with a look of hate.

" I don't think that's what you're supposed to say" she said, frowning.

" no, but it's what you need to hear I think" I began. " I really didn't give that much of a shit until you started talking to me like you did"

She was silent for a while. " you know I thought you two were dating before he started talking to me"

" what?" I asked suddenly excited and confused.

" you two seemed kinda cute together..." she trailed off, she began to sob.

" there, there" I said slowly, awkwardly patting her on the back. " is that why you were so mean to me? Because I was an imaginary threat?"

She nodded in between her sobs. I continued to pat her back.

" I must be worthless to him" she said.

" I'm sure you're not" I reassured her.

" he probably hated the way I looked ... " she said again.

" sorry , I thought he said you were the prettiest!" I choked.

" wha- wait... he's only said that to me once... where did you hear that because it was only-"

" I didn't mean to" I cut her off, " you guys didn't notice me"

" oh... so you weren't spying or anything?"

" no... I was just in the wrong place" I said slowly. She had stopped crying.

" he didn't even tell me why" she said, looking down at the ground.

I paused. " maybe it was because he found out what you said, not that your worthless or not pretty"

She looked at me with daggers in her eyes.

" you told him!" she squeaked.

" yes" I said solemnly. I felt cold hearted just saying that straight faced.

" ... but" she trailed off.
