Fake Death Fake Friends

Chapter 15:

Have you ever had that small moment where you wanted to be a new person?
I wish I could've been better instead of waiting so late. Why now?
In the moment Beatrice told me that story my heart broke. I never realized that through all the things I had said to her and done that she still cared for me. Or at least cared about Lienna.
"Liela! Liela?" I looked up startled at Beatrice sitting across from me.
"Sorry what?"
"Are you ok?" She said.
"Yeah. Just thinking....is Matt gonna sit with us today?"
"Nope. He didn't want to come to school. Something about remember I got something."
"Oh what was it?"
"Well um. I don't think I should say."
"Oh come on Beatrice."
"I barely know you so why should I?" She snapped.
"Hey watch that tone Beatrice. I was just curious."
"Well curiosity killed the cat." She looked away.
I slammed my hands against the cafeteria table and yelled,"What is up with you!"
Everyone stopped and stared.
"Keep your voice done Liela. I just met you and you're already trying to get into our business." She whispered.
"Well maybe I care a lot ok." I said clenching my teeth.
"Why should you? You just met us?"
"I'm leaving." I got out of my chair and ran off.
When I got into the hall Ricky was leaning against the wall. "Things getting out of hand already?"
"Shut up jack-"
"Hey hey hey. Calm done honey. It's not my fault Liela gets so mad easily."
I huffed and walked away.
"He misses you."
"Don't start this with me again."
"He tells me all the time."
"Look I told you once it won't happen." I walked up to her whispering.
"Not even with me Liela?"
"What do you mean?"
"How come you didn't notice?" She said shaking her head.
"What?"
"I'm gay remember you idiot and I liked you and still do. But I want my brother to be happy."
I widened my eyes.
"You really are blind to what's real and what's not."
"I guess so. Or more of I'm not Lienna its Liela. But to answer your question. I won't date you or your brother." I shrugged and turned away.
She grabbed my collar and turned me. She pinned my against the lockers win her face close to mine. "How do you know?"
"I don't date fags." I pushed her off and walked away.
I heard a muffled sound and glanced back.
She was crying and staring at me walk away.
I stopped and looked at her,"Now make sure no one comes near me. And stay away from me. You don't want to be embarrassed by me."
"Lienna wouldn't do something like this. She had-"
"FEELINGS! HA! NEVER YOU THOUGHT WRONG!."
To be honest I forgot about Ricky being gay. It slipped after we stopped talking so this was a new event. This was something new for Liela.
"Same skin."
"But I'm not. Now if you'll excuse me. I'm going to McDonalds and skipping for the rest of the day."
