The trouble with boys

Chapter ten

I stayed in Carly's bed staring at the ceiling the whole time she has been gone. I can't believe I made a fool of myself in front of Mark, but I was so hurt by Seth. It had been almost 2 years of a relationship with him and it never matter. I wasted all that time on someone that never really loved me. Without meaning it I was crying again and this time I couldn't stop. It felt like my chest was going to burst. I was having a panic attack. I quickly got up and started walking around the apartment and doing deep breathing until I stopped crying.

I couldn't stay here crying all day, this was not me. I went to my apartment and got rid of all that had to do with my relationship. Took a quick shower, fixed myself up and went to the dance studio to see Carly.

All the way through the dance studio, I could only think about the night before. I was embarrassed, but it had already happened. I was in front of the building trying to decide if I should go in or not, see the boys... it was too late.

Yugyeom: "G!", he hugged her.

G: "Oh, hi Yugyeom"

Yugyeom: "You ok?" he smiled and she could not help but smile. "Come on! Let's dance", he said and took her by the hand.

We made our way to the studio, Mark and Bambam were already there. All I could do was smile bashfully. Bambam smiled back and waved while taking care of his shoes and Mark was making his way to me. God, why is my heart beating so fast right now?

Mark: "Hey!", he timidly said.

G: "Hi. Mark, right?"

Mark: "Yes! I thought maybe you didn't remember"

G: "Oh, I do! Sorry about yesterday"

Mark: "No need to apologize, you did what you had to do and he kind deserved worst".

G: "Thanks", I replied while having my eyes glued to the floor. He started to walk to Bambam, but then he turned around and face me.

Mark: "Hey, I do have a question for you. Why G?"

I laughed. Yugyeom and Bambam turned to him with the same weird face and I just knew they were wondering the same thing about my name.

G: "Well, not a lot of people know how to pronounce my name and I don't really like it either, so Carly started calling me G instead of Galena."

All of them: "Oh"

Mark: "I like G. Kind of sounds like a gangster", he smiled and for a moment everything felt good. Then I started remembering Seth and I felt the tears form in my eyes. He liked calling me G too. Oh, come on shake it off! Is over!

The door opened, Carly and Jackson arrived. They looked awkward, awkwardly close.

I saw her walking out of the rehearsal room she was practicing with Youngjae. I couldn't stop staring at her as she frantically looked for something in her bag.

Jackson: "Need some help",

Carly: "Jeez, you scared me Jackson!", she let out a sigh.

Jackson: "I can see that", I smiled. "You ok?"

Carly: "I'm supposed to meet G at the dance studio, but left my sneakers home. Genius, right?"

Jackson: "Can you go get them and go back to the studio?"

Carly: "Yeah, I guess I'll have to do that. Want to come with?"
