Unconditional Confusion

1 | The Meeting

Point of View: Gabriella Carson

"Well, fuck it," I said as I shut my laptop screen. "There is no boy that exists with the qualities I want. Honestly, how many people do you know that are extremely attractive, work out, are funny, sort of sexual, romantic and part bad boy?" I asked Maley.

"I don't know, Google it", she said. I looked towards my best friend and rolled my eyes. "Tell you what," Maley said, "No guys here are cute so let's get the hell out before some pedophile walks in". "I don't think that's how it works but whatever," I said. I collected my laptop and stood up from my spot at the desk.

We just left the public library where I was trying to research how to find an attractive mate. Well, mostly me because Maley was too busy checking her Instagram and looking at all of her arch rival's pictures. She's still checking. "Maley, can you put down that phone and just enjoy the walk?" I asked.

"Now take a look at this whore. Does she not have clothes that properly fit? Everything must suffocate her tits and tiny ass," she said. I sighed, Maley never quite understood what forgiveness was. Ever since Adrianna (the "whore" as Maley puts it) started flirting with Maley's crush, Maley flipped out and went on a total hate rampage. She stalked Adrianna everywhere and unfollowed her from every single account possible.

I don't blame her though because Adrianna is just a thieving girl who wants every guy she can get her hands on. She is pretty, though, I'll give her that. Her nice tanned skin mixed with her brown hair and green eyes would make many girls become envious. Myself included. I look alright, but not as pretty as Adrianna. I also have tanned skin but my hair is almost black and so are my eyes, to the point where you can barely see my pupils. But some people like my eyes cause they think I look all demon and emo like (which isn't so helpful).

Maley, on the other hand, seems to be my opposite. She has dirty blonde hair with pretty baby blue eyes. Her face is round like a baby's and where I look mildly sexy (I said mildly), Maley looks like a cute little kid you want to hug all day. Her height factors in as well, considering she's about 3 inches shorter than I am (I'm not too tall either, I'm 5"4). Even though both of us are in college, Maley looks like she's in sophomore year of high school.

"Hello?" Maley says. I look towards her and realize she's on her phone. "Yeah, yeah, I'll be home in like 2 minutes. I'm literally near the corner of our street. Yeah? Oh okay then. Bye mom, see you soon," Maley said as she clicked the red button on the iPhone to end the call. "Well, see you later Maley," I said. "Yup see ya later Gabriella," Maley said. I stopped and waited for her to cross the street and turn onto her block. We both live really close to each other so we usually take walks to the library and small shops often.

I started heading towards my house when my gaze fell upon something. No, someone and my heart started beating faster and faster. I felt a slight blush rise to my cheeks as I saw a very handsome man. Oh shit, I thought. The handsome stranger looked up from his phone and stared straight at me. I felt his eyes puncture my lungs as I suddenly inhaled a sharp breath of air. He started walking towards me and raised his eyebrows.

"Excuse me, but what the hell are you looking at? Can't you mind your own business?" he said. I took another breath of air as I realized how tall this man was. He towered over me and I felt blood rush into my cheeks once more.

"I-I- I uh, I was looking at the, uh, the fence. I thought I saw something there" I said while stuttering. He followed my gaze to the plain black fence which contained nothing but dirt and grass behind it. I felt so idiotic because I couldn't come up with another excuse.

"Whatever" he rudely said. He turned around and walked back to where he was before, next to the fence. That wasn't before he spun around one more time and said "Hey, you better watch out. There are people who would very much like to see you without your clothes. For example, that old fart on the bench right there" he said.

I turned around and sure enough, an old man was looking at me and smiling very suspiciously. As soon as I laid my eyes on him he started walking towards me. I began to turn around when the old man yelled "Where are you going sweetheart, come over here. Wanna sit on my lap for a bit? I'm sure I can give you a ride home. Wanna know what that means?". My pulse quickened and I turned around to see the handsome guy laughing his ass off. The old man quickened his pace and managed to grab a hold of my arm.

I yelled. Quite loudly too, but somehow, the cars managed to muffle out the noise. The man took his hand and started tracing my arms with it. Oh no. I knew where he was gonna put his hands. I tried to wriggle away and right before the man put his hands on my breasts I was pulled away quite harshly by quite a strong force.

"Go feel your mother's saggy tits you perv," the handsome man said. The old man just laughed and walked in the opposite direction. "Thank you," I said quickly as I peeled myself away from the man's grasp. "Although, if you helped me sooner, it might not have happened".

A sinister look was cast upon his face. "Do I look like your fucking servant? Yeah, you look nice and all, but don't go expecting people to treat you better just cause of your looks. Unless you're me, then it's ok. But you aren't me, so fuck off please," he said.

"Excuse me?! That's not at all what I meant! I just-" but before I could continue the man just laughed and started walking away. "What's your name?" he called from several feet away. "It's fuck off asswipe" I yelled angrily. "Well, hope to see you again fuck off asswipe!" he called. I could hear his chuckling in the distance and my face boiled with fury and embarrassment. I spun around in the direction of my house, walking like a madwoman. That was one hell of a jerk.
