Everything I Can't Have (On Hold)

Learning the Truth

Chapter 2

***

Sophomore: Melissa

I sprinted down the hallway barefoot looking for Amy. I took off my heels so I could move faster.

"Hey Melissa! Did you hear?-"

"Can't talk now!" I shouted as I continued running. 

Of course I heard.

I just hope that Amy didn't yet. I had to see her reaction. I had to be sure.

I ran into the locker room. She had gym this period.

"Amy?" I called.

"She's in the shower" Julie told me. She brushed her blonde hair in the mirror.

"Does she know?" I asked her breathing heavily.

"Nope. She had her headphones in this whole period. Not like anyone would dare tell her." she rolled her eyes and left the locker room.

I ignored her and headed towards the showers. I heard her humming in the third shower and I pulled the curtains open.

"What the hell!" she screamed trying to cover herself. She grabbed the curtains and closed them.

I don't why she gets like this whenever I walk in on her.

"Psycho!" she yelled as she turned off the water, covered herself in her towel, and left the stall.

Her emerald eyes glared at me pissed off and walked to her locker. I followed her waiting for her to cool off. Maybe I could've waited.

"What?" she asked annoyed when she'd accepted that I wasn't going away.

"It happened again." I said moving in front of her so I could study her face.

"Really?" she raised her eyebrows and chuckled slightly "Who was it this time?"

"Charlotte McCafferty." I said still waiting for a reaction.

"She's pretty." Amy admitted "I guess the prettiest girl whose last name starts with M"

"Are you upset? Mad? Sad? Anything?" I asked.

"No. Why would I be?" she asked.

"Well you were with him first and now he's literally been with the prettiest girls from A to M. One for each letter. Doesn't that bother you?" I whispered even though the locker room was empty.

"What Victor does is his business. I'm not his girlfriend." she said almost fully dressed now. Her hair was just soaking wet.

"But he was your first. You were his first. His letter A." I said

"Yes but we're just friends now. And I'm happy being his friend." She pulled her hair into a ponytail. I continued to look at her waiting for some kind of reaction.

"Melissa. This has been happening since last year. I'm not mad. I'm used to it." she said grabbing her bag

"Ok" I said convinced. I put my hands up. "I surrender." she laughed.

"Come on. We'll be late." she smiled and I followed her down the hall.

It's official. Victor has no effect on Amy.

Sophomore: Amethyst

I knew he'd do it again.

I headed towards history my sneakers squeaked with every step. When I got to class I sat in my usual seat next to Tasha, the second biggest gossip in the school. Melissa was the first.
