FORGET ME NOT

Chapter Thirty-Eight

TRISH

I sat on the fifth row trying my best to heed to what the professor is saying but I couldn't seem to concentrate. I hate it when I can't stop thinking about that one person and deep down inside, I know they probably haven't thought about me once.

Last night, something abrupt happened and I'm not sure if I should regret it or not. Aiden and I kissed and it felt perfect. For a minute in my life, I felt free like I was flying high in the sky without anything to worry about. I didn't feel doleful as if I was shattered into pieces but when I woke up to reality, I knew it couldn't be. Aiden have a girlfriend and I don't know what to feel about it. It burns my heart just thinking about him loving someone else, someone who isn't me but then I have to remind myself that sometimes love is about letting go.

Should I be wroth at him for kissing me? But why would I be? I'm the one who urged him to do it even though I didn't say a word. Our eyes are making this weird affinity every time we're together and suddenly I couldn't restrain being attracted to him.

Sometimes the feelings we start to have again are the feelings that never really went away. I didn't mean to fall in love but I did because it felt right. And I know it's impossible to be friends with a person you're truly in love with but I'm trying my best to hide it even if it's already making me insane.

I'm losing my mind. And all I can do is keep quiet and smile.

The bell rang and I got up collecting my stuff. I went straight to my locker to place down my books. It's break time and my friends decided to have lunch at Cafe Solstice at the University district. Closing my locker, Leera came into my view.

I smiled gazing at her ire visage. "Hi Leera" I greeted politely making her look peeved.

She rolled her eyes. "Don't act like a sweet girly little bitch" she blared making me back off in shock. I was stunned for a moment trying to figure out what's wrong with her.

People around us started to gaze and whisper making me terrified. Murmurs arose as I answered her, "Um excuse me?"

She laughed indignantly. "Now you're acting like you don't know a thing? Oh please. The world doesn't revolve around you, boyfriend thief"

"Boyfriend thief? I didn't steal anything" I tried to defend myself because this girl is making my name look dirty and I won't let that happen.

"You steal everything" she blurted out like she was about to attack me with her long red nails.

What's a pretty face if the girl has a bad attitude?

I'm at that point where I don't even care if people like me anymore. If you like me, cool. If you don't, okay.

Bring it on.

"He was never yours. You can't own people like they're bought in the store, Leera" I said hugging my books tighter.

She over heated, looking really teed off. She walked closer eyeing me as if she's a lion and I'm her meat. She was about to clutch me when Liam suddenly arrived blocking Leera's way.

"What the hell are you doing?" Liam blasted indignantly glaring at her. Leera was speechless for a moment trying to gather her thoughts.

"She's a bitch" she defended slightly frightened by Liam's sudden appearance.

He laughed sarcastically, shaking his head. "You're a bitch not her"

I stood there watching them in panic. I didn't know what to do but Liam's already taking care of it so I stood there bowing my head- hoping it all ends soon.
