Housemates (COMPLETE)

Confrontation

Ruth

After I park my car and make my way to the front gate I think about Chance.

He frustrates me so much, without doing anything. I mean, all he did was kiss his girlfriend. I'm acting like a baby.

Maybe I was just uncomfortable

Maybe I was just disgusted

Maybe I was jealous

Chance...

I need to get him OUT of my head. I think I'll spend a few days at Sienna's. Right now I don't give a fùck about Paul (Sienna's boyfriend).

I wander into the library and grab a random book. I realise what book it is when I start reading it. It's by Cassandra Clare, 'Clockwork Prince'. I read this when I was eleven. The series is amazing.

'The fog was thick...'

☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

When the clock stroke 9:50am I started to walk to my class.

When I reach the door I still have five minutes to spare.

A few people from my class have arrived but I don't see Riley anywhere. Probably going to be late... AGAIN.

When I turned around to look for Riley I accidentally elbowed someone.

She quickly lashed her head around to face the idiot who dare hurt her.

"WHAT THE F- oh, it's you."

Ughhhh, Stacy...

Her face instantly shifts from an angry expression to a sort of fish... a bloated fish.

Then I realise that she's about to laugh.

As she does, the whole hallway looks our way.

"Really Ruth, you're not even worth my time. I would want to be arrested for animal abuse." Her little groupie starts to giggle like a flock of geese.

"I mean," She turns to her friends instead of me but she knows I'm listening, "she's like a chipmunk or a hamster or something, so weak and helpless. How is she even supposed to make it if she can't do something as simple as speaking?"

This time... everyone starts laughing. I decided to skip class and I run down the hall.

I hear Stacy say one more thing about Chance and him feeling pity for me but nothing more. I just wanted to get out of that place.

I can't go home. Chance's still there.

I can't go to Riley's. I don't even know where she lives.

I can't stay. Everyone's here.

Sienna's working so I can't go to her's. However Paul's still at home right? I heard Sienna and mom talking about Paul looking for a job.

I may dislike Paul a lot.

But he's the only one I can go to right now.

☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

Sienna and Paul live in the suburbs... the kind with children playing in the road and mothers having coffee and chatting on their front porch.

When I used to come and visit her for vacations and weekends I always loved it. The happy, butterflies and rainbows kind of feel. It was amazing... outside the house. Inside, Paul was there. He isn't bad or anything, he just gets on my nerves a lot.

It was only about a half hour drive from the college.

I walked up the front step breathing in the familiar smell of laundry and butterscotch.
