Long Gone

15. Fixing

I turned the paper and wrote back on it.

I didn't know losers aimed so high.

I threw the paper back. He thinks that he can push my buttons so easily. I am gonna prove him wrong even though it's true. I glance at him and realize that he just read the paper and has amusement all over his face. It looks as if he had already expected me to do this. I focus on the teacher. The bell rings and I rush for my next class. While going I bump into people but one of them slips something into my hands. I turn around and look for the victim but I don't see anyone but some nerds here and there. I read the paper.

I feel like a library card coz I've been definitely checking you out.

I groan. Can't he do much better than these lame pickup lines. I wish this day ends already. I write back on the paper before throwing it in the direction HE went.

Did you notice that I'm a bestseller. Currently Unavailable.

Chemistry. Here I come.

Just as I reach the class, I notice a paper on the bottle of sodium chloride. I wonder how he got that to stay inside it. I crouch down and narrow my eyes to read it.

You are the reason men fall in love.

I roll my eyes at this. As the professor enters, I lean over a bit and whisper into the annoying boy's ear.

"You're the reason women don't."

I lean back and grab on the test tube as he laughs. His laugh is so adorable. I used to love this melodious sound so much.

USED TO.

I remind myself that this is just a joke. Probably a trap. I can't fall back into this. I can't let myself deal with all that again. I won't. I couldn't. I decide that I need to end it now. It needs to go back to the way it was. Go back to hating each other and pretending that HE never existed, nor did I. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I took it out. It was a message from an unknown number.

-Feel my shirt. Know what it's made of? Boyfriend material.

How long will this go on?

-Looks a bit too clingy and hard to maintain.

I blocked that number. I knew I was secretly enjoying this but I knew I would regret it. I ignored him till lunch. He left a few bits and papers here and there but he got the message when I just crumpled them. I still have them in my bag. Not because I want them but because I can't find a dustbin dirty enough. I took a look at some of them.

Hope you know CPR. Coz you take my breath away! –R

Are you from Tennessee? Coz you're the only ten I see.

That's it. I'm done with these games. I walk over to where he sits at lunch and grasp onto his collar. It hurts but he won't understand that. I drag him out of the cafeteria. Every. Single. Person. was looking at us. I am gonna kill him. As we reached the corridors I roughly shove him onto the wall and I'm pretty sure I heard a faint groan.

"STOP IT! STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME? WHAT PART OF IT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!?" I shout. My voice echoing in the silent hallways. I was fuming with anger.

"I'm just trying to make it all right" He rasps

"It's too fucking late" I say and remove my gun. His eyes widen.

Dumbass thinks I'll shoot him.

Maybe I should.

Can you?
