The Lie You Told

Chapter 4 -

•••

We were at school. I was in class and the teacher was just talking and talking. I looked up and I see most of the students with their head down. I didn't listen to what the teacher was saying.

The bell rung and the teacher left the classroom.

"Look at this dirtbag." Faith stood on a desk looking down at me with others behind her. "I wonder what is Axel going to do to you next?" She chuckled.

"Shut up!" I shouted glaring at her but that immediately stops when I felt a sharp pain hit my left cheek. I was shocked. I slowly touch my cheek as it stings.

She just slapped me.

I quickly got up and clenched my fists. "What are you going to do? Snitch on me too?" She laughed along with her friends.

Axel wasn't here to see this mess. Everyone then walks away in laughter. Why didn't I hit her back? I just stood there, frozen. I gave out a sigh and just stumble back into my chair. I felt weak. I let out a deep breathe.

I'm pathetic.

I was home already and my aunt wasn't home but I see Axel watching a t.v show. "Hey, Julie go get me a soda."

"Get your own damn soda!" I shouted and ran upstairs leaving him in shock. I slam my door shut and I look onto my phone to see that Faith is tweeting about me.

"She's a snitch."

"How can she do that to her best friend?"

"She just wants attention."

All these comments. Faith had almost six thousand followers. All she does is gossip. I just got to one thousand. Axel was already at twenty thousand. He was very popular and known in New Jersey.

'DING,' My phone buzzed again and I checked to see Axel also tweeted about me...

"Living with my former best friend ;)"

WHY WOULD HE TWEET THAT! HE ADDED A STUPID WINKY FACE TO IT! PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET THE WRONG IDEA!

I quickly ran downstairs with my phone. His tweet already had three hundred retweets and six hundred likes! In just five seconds!

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME AXEL!" I showed him his tweet. He stares up at me and snickers.

"What's wrong, princess?" He smirks as he got up and walk closer to me.

"Get back, Axel. I'm warning you." I told him but he just got closer and closer. I stumble onto the couch and he gets on top of me. "Get off of me!" I growled.

"No." He shrugs. "Oh, look." He showed me his phone. One thousand comments! He grabs my phone out of my hand.

"What are you doing?!" I asked him. I got anxious. He was about to go on my phone!

"Don't get your panties in a twist, I'm going to answer some questions." He leaves his signature smirk on his perfect little face.

He goes on Instagram on his phone and goes on live, STILL, ON TOP OF ME I MIGHT ADD! He has around fifty thousand followers on Instagram!

"Hey, guys!" He smiles at the camera. "Look Julie! Ten thousand people already joined." He chuckled.

"I don't care! Just get off of me!" I struggled to get him off of me. He weighed like a ton! I couldn't feel my legs any longer. I REPEAT THE LEGS ARE GONE!
