True Friend

Does that seem like I'm mad at you?

Chapter 25.

We walk down the foyer holding hands and people where giving us weird looks. But, what hurt me most was the fact that Matthew couldn't look at me, "Are you mad at me?" I make a puppy dog face. Then, he looks over then away again and laughs under his breath, "No. Why would I be mad at you?" He stops by the edge of the hallway we turn down to go to our lockers. He then lightly grabs both of my hand, "Well, you didn't really wanna look at me while we where walking here. You just looked at all the peo-" He cut me off by leaning down and lightly kissing me, "Does that seem like I'm mad at you?" I look down at my shoes, "I don't know.." Then he leans back down and kisses me a little harder. By now no one has seen us because, we are in an excluded area where no one goes during free period. I think that's why he brought me here.. Is he embarrassed of me? I break the kiss (not that I really wanted to though), "Um I have to go I have a lot of homework I still need to do." He looks down at our hands and says, "Okay. Bye cutie." Lightly kisses me only for less than a second and leaves me there. I look around and no one was near us the whole time.. oh..

I was in the library when the bell tag so I finished my very last question and got all of my books and binders together. There was a few new 'vocabulary' (if that's what you wanna call it) words on my locker. I reads 'Ugly' then after that there was 'Fat' then 'Lardo'.. So I look around and everyone's laughing..

I walk into math and sit in my usual corner seat. The bell rings and I look over to see no Matthew, Cameron, or Nash anywhere near me. I look over to where the 'Vocabulary Girls' are sitting and I see Matthew holding hands with some bimbo. He was smiling and laughing with her.. I thought Cameron said this morning that he has "always liked me" or something in that nature. But, right now he just looks like the old dick headed Matthew.

After math I get up and bring all my things together then I leave.. without Matthew. I start to walk to my locker when I hear that bimbo start giggling. I mean you could tell it was one of those fake dumb blonde giggle though. Then she said, "Matthew we should do something fun later." Then Matthew replied, "Yeah we should.." At that moment I was so sad I didn't care if people thought I was crazy. I turned the corner to Matthew's and my locker. Our locker are the only two in the senior hall way because, they ran out of lockers for our grade. Right when I turn the corner I throw my books and binders and start to cry. Then my back slid down the wall, "Okay by-" I look over to see that bimbo kissing Matthew in front of literally EVERYONE! That only made me cry more.. I think people could see me cause, some people where looking at me strange. Then I felt two hands on my calves rubbing up and down, "Hey baby are you okay?" I look up to see Matthew crouched down. He had a look of concern all over his face, "Did someone try to hurt you?" I wipe away my tears, "No.." he looked a little confused, "No what?" I play with the brim of my shorts, "No I'm not okay and no, no one tried to hurt me.. Kind of."he stops rubbing up and down on my calve, "Well what's wrong? And what did this 'person' do to you?" I look up into his eyes, "That slutty bimbo of yours wrote more on my locker and,-" Matthew cut me off, "Madeline? No, she would nor could she do anything to hurt you." I look into his eyes, "Are you really gonna defend her? Really, really Matthew?" I try to get up but, he tries to hold me there, "I'm just saying she's way nicer than.." I look up to him, "Than who Matthew? Your own girlfriend is wrong about what she did to her?" I tried to walk away then Matthew grabs my wrist. Where my cuts are mind you, "Look what ever you think she did she didn't do." I wince in pain and try to get my wrist out of his grip. But, sadly, I failed, "Okay so she didn't write 'Ugly', 'Fat', or 'Lardo' on my locker this morning?" He then pulls me and pins me in a corner, "No because, I was with her this whole morning." I look away, "And I didn't see her a few minutes ago kiss you Matthew?" He look at me in shock. Then I push past him, "Wait Ella I can explain." I just keep walking, "I think you've explained enough Matthew." I then walk to my locker and grab my other class objects gym.

In gym today the girl and boy classes are playing dodge ball and Matthew and Madeline are on the same team. Once we start I see them just talking and the anger builds up inside of me. So I grab a ball a chuck it right at Madeline's head. It makes direct contact with her and then Matthew crouches down next to her and asks her if she's alright. He then looks for who on my side is still on the field and he sees me. I was grinning a little until I saw how mad Matthew was and I actually got really scared. I was broken from my thoughts by someone pulling me by the wall of the gym. It was Cameron..
