Dominoes

chapter 3

The weekend I spent at Avery's house really did a lot of good for me,excluding the encounter with Danielle. Now its time to get through another extremely blue week, avoiding everyone in school most especially him. Its so strange cause six months ago I wanted to spend every single moment that I had oxygen in my lungs and blood pumping through my veins with him. The thought of saying his name alone disgusts me to the core. I hate him honestly, well I don't hate him I still love him a lot but I'm going to keep telling myself I hate him until the hatred actually becomes a reality. I can't help but imagine that one day he'd walk up to me and apologize and we could go back to the way we were,but what he did is unforgivable he kept me a secret while he was openly declaring his love for Danielle, he led me on and betrayed the two year long friendship we had before our disastrous six month relationship from hell. I hate him so fucking much. If I say that to myself every day I may actually start to believe it. My mom drops me off at school despite all her complaints about being tired from all the conferences she had to attend during her business trips. I know she missed me and her work doesn't give her the opportunity to spend enough time with her kids which is why she sent my brother of to that boarding school. That's another issue I have to address I need my brother back I honestly don't mind my parents being gone as long as I have My brother,Dexter and Avery.
When I get to my locker Avery is leaning on the one next to it "took you long enough" she says with an eye roll. This is really common between the both of us. "Good morning to you too I had a lovely night and weekend. And it isn't my fault that your stalkerish behaviours can't keep you away from me" I say with a smirk as I grab my books. She rolls her eyes once more "Anywhore,I'm not going to sit with you during lunch today".
"For starters you have got to stop saying such nasty things and secondly why". I know being my friend can be overwhelming and I have a lot shit to deal with but Avery is literally my only friend and if she wants to end this friendship then I'm screwed like seriously.
"Chill out Fanetta, I'm not breaking up with you" she makes air quotes when saying breaking up with you.
"Then why aren't you sitting with me?"
"Because, Andrew asked me to and you know I have a thing for him. Well he asked me last week but you weren't in the right state of mind so I turned him down" I am clearly surprised, I thought she had gotten tired of this dramatic soap opera that is my life and didn't want to be friends anymore
"Okay. Well he's lame why didn't he just ask you on a date or something" I'm annoyed and I don't know why.
"Don't be bitter sweetheart. He has some cute friends. You could join us" Avery says wiggling her eyebrows playfully.
"No thank you. I like sitting alone" I say the bell rings.
.......................................................................................
Lunch time rolls by and I am actually extremely annoyed that Avery ditched me. Well she didn't ditch me but being alone with my thoughts simply isn't healthy for me right now. Just as I'm about to swallow the bite of sandwich I have in mouth, a voice surprises me by asking if he could sit with me. I know that voice too well. The voice of betrayal in the flesh I take a sip of water to push the lump that has formed in my throat down and nod slowly.
....................................................................................... Michael's POV
I'm actually surprised that she let me sit with her I thought by now she would be full on yelling and telling the whole school what an asshole I am but she's always being the calm one. The whole causing a scene and yelling thing is Danielle's thing. Speaking of which I glance around to make sure she isn't anywhere close by.
Reading my thoughts Fanetta speaks up "she's probably at home dealing with a hangover from all those parties she attended over the weekend" I'm glad that I didn't destroy her sense of humor along with what we had.
"Can we talk?" Although we are already talking
"I honestly don't think there's anything for us to talk about. Danielle told me everything, well not everything but I honestly don't have the energy to deal with any more lies from you." She staring into my eyes I try to read her expression but her eyes her blank this is what I've done to her. I've taken away the light in her. "I'm worse than scum" I find myself saying "yeah you are" she says like its the most obvious thing on earth. Well technically it is but it hurts that she would agree with me so easily. My Fanetta would give me a hundred reasons why I'm not scum but she isn't mine,never was in the first place. "Why did you do it?" She adds. Why did I do it? I ask myself, I honestly don't know. It was fun I guess Fanetta is beautiful and caring and nice, and we had been friends for a while. Maybe it was just thrilling but that's not it. I really don't know and I don't want to lie to her anymore so I go with the easiest most truthful answer "I honestly don't know"
"Thought as much, well it doesn't matter,the deed has being done. I'm just glad I found out before we had sex or anything. I really did like you" she says while standing up."we could have had had something no else had,but you decided to fuck it up." There are tears brimming at the corners of her eyes as she walks away from the table.
That didn't go well, well it did go better than I expected but still I can't help this guilty feeling welling up in me I've being a total dick and I need to make this up to her considering the fact that I broke up with Danielle. I honestly don't know why I did that but I just couldn't bear it when she told me she confronted Fanetta. She can be cruel sometimes but she went too far. God knows what other nasty things she may have said to Fanetta. I face palm and follow her,she walks pretty fast but I have longer legs and take longer strides soon enough I catch up with her but she darts into the girls bathroom.
I've being standing outside this bathroom for the past 5minutes and I look like a creep probably. I decide to take the risk of going in. Fanetta is staring at the mirror muttering shit to herself when she sees me her eyes widen and look like they will pop out of her sockets soon. "What are you doing in here?"
The anger in her voice is evident
"I'm not here to rape you or anything. I just wanted to make sure you were okay"
"Well clearly I am,so get out"
She's so harsh and this is unusual
"I'm sorry" I say and shove my hands into my pockets as I walk to the door. She doesn't say anything to me "and for the record I broke up with Danielle" I add before I walk out
