Chapter 7)
Chapter Song:
. Pink~ F***ing Perfect
Harmony's POV)
I ran strait the school bathroom and locked myself in a stall. When I was safe behind the shield of the metal walls, I allow myself to break down. This can't be happening. It can't be. I leaned my back against the wall and slid down to the floor, my body weak from the hurt.
He's just another guy.
He'll leave once he realizes I'm not perfect.
The kisses... the sympathy... all of it is fake.
Thought after unwanted thought flooded my mind. I wanted so bad to tune out those freaking voices, but deep down I just couldn't help but believe they were right. But there was another part of me, even if only small, that believed that maybe it could all be real....
Yeah, the voice said, and maybe you're not a worthless bitch....but we both know that's exactly what you are.
"Shut up," I whispered to myself.
Pull your head out of your ass, Mony.
I took a deep breath, picking myself up off the floor, slowly, and leaned my forehead against the stall door. I took a few more deep breaths. After a few minutes, I was feeling better and reached to unlock the stall when I heard the bathroom door open and girly giggles follow. I paused my movements when I recognized one particular laugh as Heather's. I placed a hand over my mouth to try to quiet my sniffs. The last thing I need is for Heather to think I'm an even bigger loser.
"I don't know," came Heather's voice,"I'm thinking about letting her go."
Who is she talking about.
"Why do you say that?" One of the other girls said.
"Because, she's bringing me down. Every time I'm around her, I feel like I'm sinking into to depression."
More giggles.
"But I mean, I guess it's not her fault,"came a differnt voice.
"Yeah," said Heather," I guess it's not Harmony's fault she's had such a shitty life."
I sucked in a breath, feeling fresh tears come to surface. I didn't have to worry about making Heather think I'm a loser....she already did.
They talked for about ten more minutes. More about me before one of the wannabes gasped.
"And O.M.G, did you guys here who she got partnered with for that project?"
The other girl's voice came in. "Haha..Yep. She got partnered with our school's very own walking ghoul."
"Who," asked Heather.
"I don't know...that emo kid that everyone talks about..."
"Oh yeah," said Heather, "He's just about as screwed up as Harmony is..."
"Yeah...almost."
"I guess they make the perfect partners."
"What's his name again?.... Jacob?...Jackson....Casper?...-"
"His name is Jasper," I stated coming out of the stall.
I will not lie, the shocked looks on their faces brought a smirk to my face.
"Mony," Heather said in an innocent voice. "We didn't know you were in here. How are you?"
A sudden burst of confidence burst through me. And, although I had no idea where it came from, i was about to take full advantage of it.
I smiled at her. "You wanna know how I'm doing, Heather?"
She gulped, nervously, but didn't respond.
" I'm having a shitty day. Actually, I having a shitty week. First, I get paired with the most anti-social kid in school, which is social suicide. Second, I end up, mindlessly, spilling all of my emotional gifts to him only to run off like a helpless little girl. Then, he kisses me and, for a few seconds. I actually enjoyed it, but I let the fear that, if I get attactched to the school's "walking ghoul", as You put it, I would be digging my own grave.. I've also, for so long, kissed you petty little ass and did everything I possibly can to keep you from seeing me as a pitiful little girl who has had to grow up living a shitty life with shitty parents, but that's obviously all you see me as."
Heather placed her hand over her heart in a small gasp. "Mony, that's not tr-"
"I'm not done. Now I may be digging a grave so deep for myself it'll reach hell with the next words that I'm about to say, but I no longer give a shit about what you or anyone else thinks.-"
That widened her eyes.
"I am so done dealing with your bitchiness. And I don't have to deal with it anymore. So I'm done."
I started to step around her and the wannabes, but she grabbed my arm, stopping me.
"If you walk out that door, leaving with what you just said, I'm kicking you off the squad."
I yanked my arm out of her grasp. "Oh that won't be necessary because I quit."
She gulped again.
"And word of advice, Heather, maybe if you pulled your head out of your sorry little ass, you might actually be able to see that you aren't all that perfect either. And if you even try any of those little perks to fuck with me or Jasper that. I know you have spinning in your head right now...Well, just remember, fake or not, we grew up as best friends and you're not the only one who knows all your secrets.."
She crossed her arms. "You have your own batch if secrets that I know as well.. I'm sure you wouldn't want those getting out. "
She spoke defiantly, but I can see the fear she held of me actually spilling the unknown things about her life.
I chuckled, "That might actually scare me, but see the thing is my secrets are already out....and, even if they weren't...they no longer scare me..thanks to you, Heaths." I turned to leave, but paused when I was halfway out the door. "I owe you one." I said those last words with all the mallice I had in me and the fearful look in her eyes let me know that she understood just what I meant.
I walked out the bathroom feeling like a completely new person. I didn't bother going to class. I headed out the front doors of the school with only one thing on my mind. And the target of my thoughts just so happen to have chose that exact moment to look up at me. A giant smile made its way across my face as I headed towards him...
