Toxic Love

five

Piercing green eyes that are looking right through me is all I see when i walk into the mystery meatloaf scented lunchroom. We hold eye contact until the minute I sit down at my table. I start to wonder why was he looking at me like a juicy burger, I thought that ass hated me.

I thought we hated each other. It must have been a mistake, probably thought I was one of his many sluts who swoon over him. I don't really understand why he has them though; he fucks them then chucks them.

Self-respect? Absolutely none.

"Ava?! Ava?!" Mae yells to get my attention.

"Yes, my beloved best friend? What's wrong with you? You rarely ever yell especially at me."

"Well if you wanted to know, its Ben he went to a party and was drinking last night! You know how wasted he gets; he can't remember anything. What if he hooked up with a chick last night and he can't remember it? That would mean I am dating a second offense cheater. Oh my god Ava I'm dating a cheater." Her voice rises gradually leading to a yell.

"Mae you have to calm down. Ben loves you he would never cheat on you even if he was wasted." I try consoling her so she doesn't draw any attention to our table located right next to the garbage bin.

"Ava how do you know that, he cheated on me with his skank of an ex last year when he got drunk off his ass."

"Okay point made but he never cared for her as much as he does for you. If you're really that torn up about this, I will talk to him. He will tell me and if he doesn't or claims that he can't I will threaten to tell everyone about the time he ran down the street butt ass naked with his Batman undies on his head when we were 6, okay?" I reassure my best friend.

"Fine, but you should tell people about that anyways because its pretty funny." Mae says giggling.

After our conversation about Ben we started talking about my asshole of a brother. I also told her about Mason and the ride over here. The minute I brought him up her hazel eyes lit up like two lightbulbs and she looked so excited. If I didn't know she had a boyfriend she loves, I would have thought she was just another one of Mason's many sluts by the way she was acting. She kept glancing to the left of my head; the direction of the bad boy and his group of "friends" and she would bite her lip whenever his name was brought up. Lets just hope its a puppy crush she has on him.

The minute I got up to the part of us pulling up into the school's parking lot the bell declaring lunch is over rang. We said our quick goodbyes and took off to our 7th period classes.

Already halfway to my 7th period class for red days when I finally realize its a blue day. That means the class I am supposed to be heading to right now is actually Web design. Which is on the other side of the school.

I start to panic, today is just not a good day for me apparently. I start sprinting in the direction to my class when I hit into a twig-like guy holding three thick textbooks that look like they're about to snap his arms in half. When I crash into the poor guy the textbooks fall to the pale yellow tiled flooring along with his large wide framed glasses making a loud thump sound. I was in such of a rush I didn't stop to help him pick up the books or his glasses but I do look behind me to see if he is alright. The guy is staring back at me with a look of disgust and hatred. I forget about the guy I crashed into and continue running to my class.

I manage to fit my foot and hand in between the door and the doorframe right before the door came to a complete close and the bell went off. I then proceed to open the door fully to see the entire class gazing at me with looks of shock and surprise.

Out of the twenty or so pair of eyes staring at me there is one pair that catch my interest.

The same pair of piercing green eyes that were locked on me at lunch.

Mason's.

Sorry I haven't updated in a long time. I couldn't think of anything to write without making the story extremely cliche, hopefully it isn't that awful. I'll try to update more frequently.
