Aliens would laugh if they knew the smartest specie on this planet still kill each other over skin color and sexuality.
We walk hand in hand to school with smiles on our faces. As we walk together in school, people point and stare. I see Nadia smile ear to ear and to rushes up to us. "Are you two finally a couple?" she says searching our faces for the answer. "Not yet," I say and Alaska starts blushing.
Nadia is talking about something, Alaska is laughing, but, I can't hear anything. Till I notice I'm being dragged away by someone grabbing my wrist. It's Sage. Alaska grabs me and says, "Yeah, I know he's cute but he's mine. Touch him once more and I'll kill you." Sage starts laughing hysterically and says, " Alex, I'm not the jealous type don't worry. But, what's mine is mine. End of story sweetie."
She grabs my wrist and drags me all the way down the hallway as Alaska and Nadia are screaming. She drags me into the girls bathroom and locks me in the stall with her.
"What are you doing?!?!" I say but, she just tells me be quiet. She leans in my face and kisses me. I push her away and say, "You knew I loved you but, you broke my heart anyway. Do you really you can take me back anyway you feel like it?" She looks confused but, says," What us wrong with you Alex?"
"You know what's wrong?" I say angrily. "What is?" she says cocking her head.
"This. I wish I never liked you. I wish I didn't waste all those times talking to you or thinking about you. I wish I didn't worry or cared about all the times you ignored me. I wish I never got excited every time you made me feel special. I wish I never believed every word you said. I wish I never got my hopes high for you. And I wish I never kept trying and trying, knowing I would just go through the same thing. Because in end, the one that gets hurt isn't you. It's me," I say trying to hold back tears.
"You know what your problem is? You get attached, fast, and one you're attached to someone, you do everything you can to please them and make them happy. It's never been about you want, it's always everyone's needs before your own. You give out too many chances to people, who quite frankly, do not deserve them. They take advantage of you, and you become a pushover. But you're okay with that, because they're your life and that's all you ever wanted. And even if they screw you over, you'll still be there for them. Because that's you, that's who you are. Once you get attached to someone, they capture your heart and they always have a place there. And that is why it's so hard for you let anyone go," she says before she slaps me in the face.
Sure her words hurt more than her hitting me but, they were true. "I pity you, Alex. I really do. But, I pity myself more because I feel in love with a guy that just wants the world to love him," she says as she turns around and unlocks the stall. "Get out my face and run to your new girlfriend before I take you as mine," she says pointing to the door.
I run as fast as I can into the school hallway and look for Alaska. Everyone is here but her. I take out my phone and call her.
Sorry this person is not available. Sorry this person is not available. Sorry this person is not available. Sorry this person is not available.
You said you'd be here for me, but when I need you the most.....you are no where to be found.
