Magnificent Love

Chapter 7 - I was Going to Barf

  I kept staring at the ring.  Was it a promise ring? A proposal? Did they elope?

I followed Courtney's long tan arm up to her face and I just stared at her.  Of course he'd choose her. Her ocean blue eyes with long black eyelashes and perfectly trimmed eyebrows.  Her long blonde hair that she curls everyday.  Her perfect, plump and pink lips always available for kissing. Her perfect body, thin and small with big hips and perfect curves.  Always wearing that short skirt and tank top uniform.  She is perfect.  Of course he'd choose her.

She pulled her hand back and put it on her thin waste as she looked down at me. "Get up off the floor you freak, you're going to get a disease."

"I..I...I'm so sorry. I didn't...I didn't know that you two where a thing...he never told me..I would never.." I felt the tears pouring down my cheeks. I felt myself getting ready to throw up. I felt my cheeks turn red and get hot.  I knew I was going to barf and I could tell Courtney knew it too because she backed up a lot and her eyes got wide.  I jumped up and ran to the stall I just came out of and started throwing up.

I sat back on my knees when I was done and flushed the toilet. I turned around expecting Courtney to be laughing at me or making a face at me but I turned back and she looked concerned.  I must be in shock because Courtney was being uncharacteristically empathetic towards me.  She ran away and I was sure she left to get her phone to take pictures but she came back with a handful of wet paper towels and a piece of mint gum.

I nervously glanced at her and back down at the gum and paper towels, not knowing why she was being so nice.  "Just take the damn gum Callie" Courtney sighed as she shoved her hand out further so I'd take it. 

I took the gum and paper towels and mumbled "Thanks.." as I looked away.

She stood there a minute longer and I wondered if she was going to go as far as to help me up and make sure I was okay. But who was I to kid? It's Courtney Ravenaush, of course she wouldn't be that kind.

I sat back against the bathroom wall and sighed.

"What else could go wrong today?" I mumbled as the bell to end lunch rang.
