Lost

Chapter 5

I felt as though me and Oliver were meant to be. There was no doubt... I hadn't even talked to Riley for three weeks. I guess we has been avoiding each other, too consumed also by the new people I'm our lives. I saw him in the hall one Tuesday, mid-afternoon.

"Um.... Hey..." He said and I got kind of mad.... So NOW that Estelle isn't here he wants to talk to me... Typical.

"What..." I said not making eye contact.

"Oh... I just. Thought we hadn't talked in a while... So. Your dating Oliver then?" He said and his assumption made me roar with anger.

"Don't just walk up to me for the first time in THREE weeks and assume I'm dating someone. Maybe you would have known the situation had you not spent every single minuyte the last three weeks with Estelle and completely forgotten about me. Just... Go be with your precious Estelle. I'm sure you miss her right now." I spat with hatred towards him. Towards Riley. Towards the guy who had once been my closest friend.

I got up and walked away, my head held high. I wasn't going to let him bring me down.

I met up with two of my other friends in the hall. After being at this school for so long I had kind of in a way created an army of friends and it was nice to have.

Dana and Eliza walked up to me. They were inseperable and quite crazy but I loved them to death. I could tell them anything and they were so nice to have.

Dana started laughing and punched Eliza. Eliza punched her back and they walked up to me. "Heyyyy" Dana said in a purposeful fake voice. She started laughing again. She pushed her black hair behind her back showing off her beautiful face that made it impossible for any guy to not like her.

Eliza was also very pretty but in a total natural boho kind of way. She had blonde hair and was carefree. Her and Dana fit together like two peas in a pod, and they were as close as best friends kind of got. Sometimes I wished I had a girl best friend so I could be more like them. But I had chosen to be friends with a guy. And once another girl enters a guy best friend's life, your always tossed to the curb but I never thought Riley would be the type to do that. My judgement had been incorrect.

"So what's up?" I said laughing and walking with them. I was Inbetween Eliza and Dana.

"Dana's going to the Junior party with Jay!!!!!" Eliza yelled and Dana punched her, blushing and giggling.

"Ooh, Jay." I said smirking. Dana had had a crush on him forever. He was a total jock with deep brown hair that was always flipped to one side of his face. He was one of the cutest guys in school easily.

"Yup..." Dana said laughing and smiling.

"Are you going with Riley like you always do Tor?" Eliza said in the most serious tone her voice could sound in.

"Um.... No.... He's got better people to go with now I guess" I said angry at the topic.

"Awh, what happened?" Dana said concerned.

"He's just dating Estelle and he doesn't really talk to me anymore at all.... And I guess it's okay. I mean, wouldn't want Estelle to be all mad at me..." I said.

"But aren't you friends with Estelle??? And that's not just 'okay'.... You guys have been friends forever and he just ditches you...." Eliza said in an annoyed voice. Eliza was a team player, and whenever something happened to a friend, she was always on their side.

"Well, three is definately a crowd... And I mean. Talk about third wheel" I said still in disbelief at Riley.

"We gotta go, catch ya later!" Dana said and her and Eliza walked off happily.

I was walking down the hall all alone for once. And I really felt all alone.

I tried staring at my feet. I didn't want anyone to see me alone, because I didn't like being alone.

I look at my feet again, continuing to walk. I continued when I walked RIGHT into someone. My forearms pressed against their chest and also mine, making me feel small against them. I looked up and saw Riley's face. I then looked to the right and saw Estelle.

"Nice friend!" She yelled rolling her eyes. "Get off my boyfriend" she said and for the first time she actually sounded like a bitch rather then the nice girl everyone had always seen her as. I backed up and crossed my arms across me. I looked up at Riley's face. He had grabbed Estelle's hand. And then I felt my lip quiver a little bit. By now the whole hall had gone silent from Estelle's yelling and they were all watching me. My eyes turned the light turquoise they always turned when I was about to cry.

I looked into Riley's eyes right then and what I saw wasn't sorrow. It was hatred. And it was directed in my presence. Right as a tear fell down I felt someone grab my bag and turn me around. They burrowed my face against them and walked me away from the horrible situation. When I finally picked my head off the person's chest I was standing outside of the doors to the gym. No one was really here. I looked up and it was Oliver.

"Sorry...." He said. "I just really couldn't watch you there... Just standing and Estelle's a bitch. Don't listen to her and don-"

I interrupted.

"It's um.... Okay." I said and I have a cute slight smile. Then I grabbed his hand, and backed up slowly. "I got to go. Bye" I said and slowly let his hand slip from mine.
