Kyojin high

chapter 25

    I checked my phone again. still no calls, texts or anything. I tried to calm myself down. I needed to. But, i was used to boys cheating on me. i was used to getting my heart broken. It happened so much that sometimes I feel that it's a normal thing. it was a weekend so I wouldn't be seeing him at school either. Mikasa called eren not long ago, it turns out Levi cancelled their meetup for something.. "important".
    it was a good thing the girl and I shared a house together. And it was a good thing they were amazing friends because i don't know what in the hell I'd do if they weren't there with me. I did break down for an hour, that i'll admit. But i got over it pretty quickly because I wasn't surprised. This wasn't the first time this had happened to me. the human heart was meant to be broken, not physically like how it can literally break from serious emotional trauma and the person could die, i mean, well you know what i mean.
    "that jerk!" Hanji exclaimed as she paced in my room "I can't believe he did that!".
    "Hanji, you've said that for the past 10 minutes and I don't think its helping" Mikasa said, sighing. She was sitting at my desk, at first she suggested we burned every single photo of me and him and delete every single photo of us that existed. Although that would be fun, as i could imagine myself laughing maniacally as we throw photos of the two of us in a fire. But i told her i needed more time.
    Carol and Annie said that we should go up to him and beat him up. which I also rejected.
    Hanji said that we could do one of those breakup puns from Nigahiga. Which would be amazing.
    I closed my copy of Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare and stood up from m bed, heading towards my white bookshelf. "Relax, maybe he was drunk that night...or something" I said, putting my book on the shelf. i walk towards my bed and sit on its edge, sighing "it's not the first time anyway" I shrugged "I'm used to it".
    They exchanged looks, Carol looking confused. "whoa whoa wait a second" she said shaking her head "Other guys have cheated on you before?!?" Everyone nodded their head. I had forgotten that Carol didn't know. I didn't like talking about the terrible things that had happen in the past. but i haven't told her about Levi cheating on me before. I didn't tell anyone. Hanji was the only one who knew.
    "this is unacceptable-!" the door burst open and a girl with wide green eyes and red-brown hair entered the room, a boy taller than her beside her. she had dark blonde hair and light gray eyes.
    "I came as soon as I heard!" the girl exclaimed. quickly, Carol understood the Hamilton reference. "All the way from London? Damn!".
    "I think it would've been much cooler if Levi was here Isabel" Annie said.
    "yeah, I thought the guy would be here to apologize. You know, Farlan and I even made a-" The boy looked at her and grinned "oh dammit Farlan" she mumbled as she reached for her wallet and took out 10 dollars "here's your money" Farlan smiled as he placed the money in his pocket.
    "hey, what are you doing here?" i asked as i stood up and hugged Isabel. it had been a while since I last saw her and Farlan. "we heard that he cheated on you, from Mikasa" i looked at mikasa who was waving her phone. i looked back at Isabel.
    "so, the girls and I-"
    Farlan made a noise but Isabel only rolled her eyes and sighed.
    "and Farlan too, are gonna take you out!" she exclaimed spreading her arms.

                                                                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I already had 7 books in my hands. I looked at the books on the shelves then at the ones in my hands.
    "don't you already have the whole Harry potter series?" Isabel asked, putting her phone away after replying to a text.
    "well yes. But those are the old covers, these are the new ones. If you put up all 7 books together it makes Hogwarts." I said, keeping the books from falling out of my hands. i love books. I always did. they made me feel safe. it was like you were able to travel to different worlds,meet new people, and slowly..they became my friends. there was a moment in my life when i was lonely, sad and had no friends. So, i read books. Because when I did, I knew I wasn't alone.
    "But you can't buy seven books! that's gonna be hella expensive!" Carol exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air. well, i couldn't blame her. so i set the books down and before i was able to make the painful desicion of choosing only one HP book and another book and maybe another my phone buzzed. i reached in my bag and checked. 
     levi. 
     I stared at the screen for a while. Should i reply? I didn't dare read his message. I only saw the contact. I closed my eyes and read it.
