From Dreams to Nightmares

Chapter 26

Kally's perspective

  My plan was to kill two birds with one stone. To get revenge on Alex for what she did and to make Kally jealous at the same time. And it works better than I thought. Everything is like a war for the two of them and everything Kally does to Alex is hilarious. In the morning, the blonde was greeted by a large glass of yogurt that the redhead mercilessly poured over her in front of everyone.  I couldn't help myself either, I hid my laughter and walked over to them with a worried and disappointed look. "What the hell Kally you have no dignity at all? Did you spill your yogurt on my girlfriend?" I say and wrap my arm around the blonde's waist and pull her towards me. The girl quickly joins my game and with crocodile tears she tells me softly for only the three of us to hear. "Love, look what she did to me!  What's wrong girl? You had your moment and kicked it." the blonde says and the redhead's face drops. She did not expect such an answer. And I could hardly contain my laughter at the scene in front of me. I take the blonde by the hand and drag her to the bathroom "Let's go honey, she doesn't deserve your attention!" I say and we walk away leaving Kally glaring at us.

Arriving in the empty bathroom and safe from unwanted ears, I let go of the girl's hand and I burst out laughing uncontrollably. And Alex rolls his eyes. "I knew you liked crazy girls but in my defense I never did anything like that. Wonderful, now everyone will know me as the yogurt girl..." she says and I laugh even louder when I hear the new nickname.

"Stop laughing Tavy, what do I do now? I have nothing to change into, give me your hoodie!" the girl says to me as if she were obliging me more than suggesting. "My hoodie?" I repeat just to clarify because I do not agree with this. " Yes, your hoodie, anyway your girlfriend is still in the hallway and if I go out anyway I won't do more than have fun at our expense. Wouldn't you have given her the hoodie off you if she asked you to?" Alex asks me and I exhale annoyed but I know he was right.

"Okay, okay" I say and the girl takes off her blouse and all that covered her now was the black bra that hugged her small breasts. "Hold my undershirt so I can take off my hoodie Alex" I say and the girl grabs the edge of my t-shirt while I struggle to take off my hoodie. When I finally succeed, the bathroom door opens and a shocked Zoe looks at us from the doorway. I already knew what was in her head. No matter what I said at that moment, it couldn't make the brunette believe me. I quickly give the hoodie to Alex who puts it on to cover the position we're in. I expected Zoe to leave but she actually walks in and closes the door behind her.

"You have 2 minutes to explain or I'll make you the laughing stock of the whole school Octavia! what is this I made a fool of myself for you, I pushed my best friend towards you because you claimed to like her. Ok, what she did wasn't nice at all, but I didn't expect you to forget so quickly..." the brunette starts muttering nervously and I catch her by the arms with which she gestures prominently. "Shut up Zoe and listen! We two are not together!" I say pointing between me and Alex. "I just want to make Kally jealous." I say and the girl looks from me to the blonde. "I know you want her to leave Sebastian, that's what I want too, Octavia, but that's only up to her. And I don't think what you're doing now will bring her closer to you, rather it will drive her away..."

I ask Alex to let us talk alone and the blonde leaves the bathroom without saying anything. The other girl was looking at me intensely. Octavia, what's wrong with you? I didn't think you were the kind of spiteful person..." she says and my gaze ran to the ground leaning against the edge of the sink. "And what do you want me to do Zoe? I have my pride!" I say finally looking her in the eyes and she shakes her head disappointed at my answer. "Not everything has to be a game, a competition. this is about love, Octavia. And all you do is tease your attraction to each other. But you can't tell me that there was a single time when you talked without forgetting all your problems. Getting to know each other... You always say how much you hate these games but you play them too. And no matter how much you don't want to admit it, you two are sown like two drops of water!" she says scolding me like a child. And she was right. I got so wrapped up in something trivial that I forgot what was most important.

"Put your brains in your head and decide what you want! Because I won't be on your side much longer if all you want is to make fun of my best friend!" the girl says pointing her finger at my heart then leaving the room leaving me alone there. What she said got me thinking, and all I want now is to talk to Kally. But even if I spoke I wouldn't know what to say. I wouldn't know where to start.

Can I really call what I have for Kally affection when I have to admit that I hardly know her at all. Have I been blind all along? However, deep down I always knew that this unique feeling for her is not just obsession or just attraction. It's different, it's different to wish a person only the best and the most beautiful, not to experience anything bad. And in the mirror to see a reflection of heaven.
