After

halsey

when our eyes met i instantly felt a sense of nostalgia. it reminded me of a time in high school. when i was still in New Jersey.

*flash fucking back*

"andy, not all lesbians have dyed hair and wear plaid. that is such a stupid stereotype." i said punching the red head on the back. he turned to me and looked me up and down with a brow raised.

my eyes averted to my body. my blue hair rested on my boobs, which ironically were being covered by a green and red plaid flannel.

"fuck you." i mumbled.

"guys, guys language. we have a baby with us." our friend tyler said pointing to a new girl sitting next to him. "this is mel."

"-anie... martinez!" she finished reaching her hand out to everyone. she was cute. like really cute.....

the conversations went on from there, but i guess i never talked to her one on one. after that day, our lunch periods were switched and i never saw her again. i can't believe i forgot about her.

"Melanie?"

her eyes got big and she looked shocked.

"ash? or i mean Halsey?" i smiled in return at the cute girl standing before me. "it's been so long!" she said wiping her eyes.

"ah yes....why are you crying?" i asked using my sweatshirt sleeve to wipe away the extra tears falling.

"a guy." her eyes rolled "he used to beat me and for some reason i was too stupid to realize it was bad. i finally confronted him and he left me."

"hey hey, you're not stupid. it's normal to not realize it because you believe they love you. i hate to ask this, but would i know the guy?" she furrowed her eyebrows.

"no i don't believe so." there was a lull in the conversation.

"do you want to grab some food? i haven't eaten since before i got on that bus, and that was a while ago." Melanie nodded and wrapped her hands around my arm. they were small and fragile,  it  felt like they were just bone.

✨✨✨

"and i'll have a water with lemon please." melanie said smiling at the waitress, named jenna. jenna flushed a light pick and something like anger flushed through my body, maybe jealousy?

"water, huh?" i asked leaning forward faking a straight face. she let out a small giggle and stated how she can't stand pop because of the carbonation and how it feels on her teeth after she's done drinking it. i sarcastically rolled my eyes and leaned back into my seat.

"a Diet Coke for you," jenna set down my cup "and a water with lemon for you." she winked at Melanie, but i don't think she saw.... thank god. "so what would you guys like?" she asked taking out her pen and pad. i told her my order and melanie just got the same thing as me.

when our order came we were basically crying with laughter at a story melanie told of her friend John? josh? something like that.

i bit into my burger, while listening to her talk about how she paints and how she makes music.

"really? i'm a singer too! im trying to make it big, but ya know... im not that good.." i said with a mouthful. not one of my most flattering moments.

"aw, if your voice is anything like your face, i bet you are more than amazing." she said while taking a sip of her water. i could feel my face go red.

im not a little girl, i shouldn't be flustered by her.

"i gotta pee, be right back!" i told her hopping out of my seat.

✨✨✨

i took a breath looking at myself in the mirror.  i need to focus on my career and not some cute girl with a tooth gap. as i bent down to splash some water on my face, i heard the door open and close. my eyes averted to the mirror and i saw melanie standing behind me.

"did i make you uncomfortable? im sorry i do that a lot." she asked in a quiet voice. she looked at me for an answer, but i couldn't give one.

i turned around in one fast movement and pulled her face to mine. my lips landed on hers, they tasted like fries and peppermint Chapstick. it doesn't sound that romantic, but it was paradise to me.

finally she pulled away and smiled.

"man that was gay." she laughed.
