Anyone but you.

Stereo Hearts

-Chapter 4-

Malia's POV:

"So she just defended you... from the girl you thought was her girlfriend?...." Momona asked as she tried to process all of the details from my previous conversation with Kylie earlier today, "....and then casually begged you to come to this party....well karaoke party or whatever.....and you still think she is messing with you?..."

"Well I wouldn't say she begged." I tried to correct, "..more like pleaded, and yes karaoke. Which I want to go to... to get her off my back but what if it's a prank or something."

"Woah woah hold on" she sat down on her bed next to me, "Malia, I know she's a piece of shit who hurt you badly but I don't see why she'd invite you to a karaoke night with her friends just to embarrass you. That's so high school Disney movie vibes. And stop with this whole get her off my back talk. It's such bs and you know it." She glared at me with a cold look, "You can try to fool yourself all you want but you can't fool me. What else are you not sharing with me that has you debating this whole situation?"

I stared at her as nonchalant as possible trying not to show my true desperation but I knew my eyes were betraying me.

Before I could even respond back to her she added, "The notes you keep collecting have something to do with this....doesn't they?"

"Momo. Just let me know if you wanna come with me or not." I said, sharper than I intended to.

"I see that struck a nerve" momo's expression faltered with concern as she looked at me carefully, "..mind telling me what's all that about?"

"Ugh, Kylie has been... writing to me." I scoffed, staring at her trying to get her to understand my frustration. But she just stared back, her eyes glaring as if telling me to continue. "Writing....good morning notes and Spanish lyrics to like...idk romance songs or whatever."

I sounded more annoyed by them than I really was. I loved her notes, a little too much and that was the main problem. The opposite of what I wanted out of it.

"Mhm.." Momo crosses her arms over her chest, clearly noticing how much I hated yet enjoyed Kylie's love notes, "....and you still think this girl wants to prank you? Malia, the poor girl is desperately trying to make amends with you."

"Poor girl? Really??" I said now slightly annoyed at her comment, "You know what she did, Momo. You just called her a piece of shit a few minutes ago yourself."

"Yeah. And she is..." Momo stood up from the bed gradually, walking over to fix her hair in front of the bedroom mirror, "...but same as you....she is just trying to find ways to survive the whole school year with having you being around her all the time. You know....since you both tried to but couldn't change dormroo—"

"I can't believe you are defending her right now after what she did with my sister, Momo." I raised my eyebrows, giving her a pointed look through the glass mirror. "..Are you really taking Kylie's side right now?"

"I am NOT taking Kylie's side, are you serious?" Momo put the hair brush down, and turned around to look at me, "Malia. You keep self-defending as if I'm attacking you when I'm not. Is Kylie a bitch? Of course she is! Do I hate her for how much pain she caused you? You bet your ass I do! But we both know she also made you the happiest you have ever been, before everything went to shit. And she knows she lost you for good. Kylie is just trying to ease up the tension between you two so you both can coexist in some way."
