Knock Me Out

chapter 2

When I get into the bathroom Selena is seated on the floor with her back against the wall and her wet shoes next to her. Her cheeks are stained with tears and I actually feel bad for her, but being the person I am, I will never admit that to her or to anyone for that matter. She doesn't notice my presence until I am standing right in front of her.
"What do you want" she asks. I stay quiet. I just don't feel like answering her .....not yet.

"If you you're here to be the bitch you are you should just leave, cause...."

"Oh shut the hell up already" I cut her of as I feel some of the pity I had towards her fading away."You okay? You look like you just escaped from hell" I tell her. She really looks like she just got into a fight with multiple demons.

"What do you care, I'm sure you're just here to mock me anyway, so go ahead. Hit me!" She challenges me.

"I'm sure you don't want that right now and I'm definitely not in the mood for that, so I ask again. Are you okay?" I ask her again with a little smile.

Can't she see I'm doing my best not to choke her right here, right now. For once since I've known her, I'm trying to be nice to her.

"What do you want from me? Why are you even here? Why do you do what you do? Why do you hate me this much? What have I ever done to deserve this kind of treatment from you? All I did since I met you was be nice to you and try to be your friend , but you keep trowing that in my face. Humiliating me in public has become some sort of a hobby to you. So tell me why, why do you keep doing this?" She cries.

"First of all I don't hate you, I just don't like you and second of all your clumsiness in public isn't my fault. I followed you here cause I taught you needed someone's help, but I don't have time for your drama" I answer her as I hand her my handkerchief, because her nose is running and it's gross.

"Thank you" she mimes and blows her nose.

"Maybe you should just stop being so desperate and go home to your mommy and daddy so they can get you whatever you want, because I didn't come here to deal with your 'I'm a spoilt kid that gets everything she asks for' drama"I finish and turn to walk away, but her laugh halts my movements.

"What's so damn funny" I say trough my teeth.

"That's exactly what I'm talking about. You don't even know me, you don't even want to get to know me. Nobody does really, yet you all take the time to judge me" she laughs a sad laugh and blows her nose again.

What in heavens name is she talking about. She's right about me not wanting to know her and that I don't really know her.

All I know about her is that...... Well....... I guess I don't know anything about her. Not that I want to know.....but okay.

"Thanks anyway for uuhm...coming after me...and uuhm..helping me I guess, I appreciate it" she says while lifting herself from the floor. I don't even bother to help her, I've done enough already.
I lean against the wall with one of my feet pulled up against the wall. I watch her as she washes her tears stained face and dries it up with her shirt.

I don't want to say anything to her, because I'm sure she'll be crying again if I do and I've seen more than enough tears for today. I don't know why I haven't left this shitty bathroom yet.

'It's because you want to know more about her' my subconscious answers, and for the second time I ignore her.

"You're not as bad as I thought you were. You're actually a good listener" Selena says.

"Don't think we suddenly have some sort of connection because of this shit, cause I still don't like you. I just don't like crying people and that my dear is the only reason I'm not saying anything" I tell her in a way only I can.

She smiles and mumbles something that sounds like "okay".

She picks up her shoes and looks down at her pants. By the look on her face she could burst into tears any second now and that's the last thing I want right now.

"Come with me, because if you cry again I'm going to shove your ass into the dumpster" I warn her.

Why did I have to play nice and come here in the first place....jeez. I walk out of the bathroom and she follows me like a puppy.

"Where are we going?" She asks as if she's a 3year old asking her mother where they're going to get ice cream.

"If you don't shut up....." I threaten.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to....."

"For god's sake shut the hell up" I say clearly irritated. Why in heavens name am I helping her again? I can't seem to find an answer to my question and that irritates me. What the hell was I thinking? I unlock my car and tell her to get in.

She's been smiling since we left the parking lot two minutes ago. I don't know why, but its definitely annoying me.

"What!"I suddenly boom, catching her off guard.

She stares at me for a second before she looks out the window.
Five minutes later we're in my mother's house and I give her one of my jeans and a white shirt. I never wore them anyway.

After she puts them on we drive back to campus. We got there right before it's time for my next class.

I tell her to stop following me and she thanks me again , for what feels like the 50th time. I attend my remaining classes for the day and head home.

When I get home I'm so tired that I immediately fall asleep on the couch. It has been a damn long first day.

The rest of the week goes as usual. Me and my friends doing the shit we do for fun and all. When I get home from school on Friday I get a texts from my mother.

*I won't be home for the weekend, so you can knock yourself out as long as my house stays in one piece and clean when I get back. Love you😘*

*Thank you mother. Love you too and have fun😘😁*

So this means I've got this gigantic house to myself this weekend. Maybe I can throw a party Saturday.

As for today I wanna have some other type of party. I hope Christian can come over. I haven't seen him in a while and I miss him. We don't have a serious relationship, even though he's madly in love with me.

He confesses his love for me every time we're together, but I made things clear to him. I like him, but not in the way he wants me to. Even when I told him that I don't love him the way he wants me to and can't start a real relationship with him, he didn't mind having whatever it is we have.

I consider him a best friends, who's way out of the friend zone.

He was happy to be this close to me anyway. He knows me better than anyone else and I sure don't mind letting people think he's my boyfriend, cause he's damn hot.

*Hey Chris, wanna hang out??*

*Yeah sure. I've been waiting all week for that*

*hah! Sure you have. I'm waiting ;)*

*'Kay babe. I'll be there in ten minutes😘*

"And I'll be right here babe" I say out loud and take my button lip between my teeth.
