a world of lies

chapter three

    I woke up, the smell of bacon infiltrating my room. I sprinted downstairs and grabbed as many pieces of it as I could. 

"Really? I made those for other people."
"Who," I muttered with food in my mouth.

"Catherine's parents. They're coming when you're at school."

"Oh," I sighed, walking upstairs.

    I got into light shorts, a tan tee with a gray cardigan, and some white converse. I curled my hair, then put it into a half up- half down hair-do. After that I left and was at school.

    I walked into the classroom, seeing everyone stare at me. Confused, I walked over to Catherine. She looked panicked as I came up, making me even more frustrated.

"Hey, what's going on? Why is everyone staring at me?"

"You tell me?"

"What?"

Catherine sighed, then whispered," You're pregnant?"

    I jumped, feeling sick to my stomach. Why do people think I'm pregnant? Catherine looked at me patiently, I guess waiting for an answer. I can't believe my own best friend would believe that!

"Well?"

    Anger started to consume me. My hands formed into fists, waiting to pound. My cheeks were as red as a tomato. I felt as if I was going to explode.

"Of course I'm not pregnant! Why would you even believe that! Who even started this? You know what? I'm tired of this crap! I don't even look pregnant!"
"Okay, okay! Calm down," Catherine muttered.

"Calm down? Calm down! I'm not going to calm down," I spat. 
    I walked out of the classroom, feeling flushed. I stomped furiously onto the ground, heading to the bathroom. Just then, Parker walked up, seeming upset.

"We didn't even have sex," he said, looking me dead in the eye. "Are you that desperate to catch my attention?"

"Excuse me? I'm not pregnant and I don't plan on it for a long time! And why would I like your attention? Your a douche! You're so inconsiderate!" 
    I shoved him away from me and ran towards the exit. I sprinted towards my car and sat inside; I broke down. I can't believe he had the nerve to say that to me. We haven't even talked to each other in months. Even if we did have sex and I was pregnant, wouldn't I have a baby bump by now and be near date? I just felt confused.

    Instead of sitting and staying in the car, I decided to head back inside the school, it's not going to do any good being out here. 

* * * *

    I walked into the classroom, seeing multiple eyes on me. Instead of paying attention, the teacher looked at me and decided to I guess let it slide. I sat in my seat, sliding down. Catherine kept whispering my name, but I wasn't going to talk to her right now, I was mad. 

    Soon it was lunch time. Catherine kept trying to talk to me, so I went into the library to hide. As soon as I walked in there, I saw Parker. He then saw me, and sighed. He walked up towards me.

"Hey-"
"No. I don't care what you have to say," I spat. "You really think I would do that? After all we'd been through? I'm not a slut. I'm not someone who goes low to mess someone's reputation up."
"I came to give you an apology."
    I looked at him, seeing a hint of consideration. They were still covered up with nothingness. 

"It was rude of me to make assumptions. I just heard the rumors and assumed you spread them, I'm sorry."
"Okay," I said.

"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Do you accept the apology?"
"Nope," I said, teasing him. I don't even know why I did. 

    I felt butterflies in my stomach as soon as I joked with him. Why did I tease him? I haven't done that in a while.

    Parker smirked, then replied," Oh no, I feel shattered."
He jokingly hit his heart and acted like he was going to fall. Soon, we started laughing.

    Silence filled the room.

"Well," he started. "I'm going to head to lunch."
"Right,"I said. "Um, bye?"
"Bye," Parker muttered, seeing his emotion change back to nothing.

    I walked into the lunch room, seeing Catherine run towards me.

"I'm so sorry Mae, I can't believe I would think it's true!"
"It's okay," I said. "I don't want to talk about it anymore."

* * * * 

"Okay class," the teacher started. "We are starting a project. I already put you in pairs, so don't keep your hopes up. Kendall with Mason, Mariah with JC, Parker with Mae-"

Great. 

    Parker turned around and locked his light, blue eyes with mine. He sighed, and then turned back around. He made me feel confused, why did he sigh?

heyy!!

sorry, its not that good of a chapter
