Take My Breath Away

Alice

Oh Alice, where do I begin.

I hate you.

Alice and I met in junior high during history class, we started bonding over old movies like Breakfast at Tiffanys and shows like I Love Lucy, we hit it off immediately.

We became good friends and she even became part of my little group. I had seen her around the halls but before that I had never even known her name or cared. Little did I know how much of a fucking twat she would be.

For example, one day in 7th grade Alex, I, and my group of friends (Virginia, Rosé, and Amy) we're spilling our deepest secrets and exposing our crushes.

But when we asked about her crush she just started to act a little sketchy. We asked about who it was and she dropped little hints so we began to narrow it down. Their name began with K, they had curly hair, they were female and..they were in our group. "KATIE???" we were all shocked.

I wasn't shocked because of the fact I was female because quite frankly If im being honest im not too sure if im straight anyways. I was shocked because it was me. Why me? Why not Rosé or Amy? Hell, even the star wars nerds have a better chance than me.

I didn't like her back and ever since we found out about her little secret we could then see past her true colors.

She. Was. Insane.

She would take videos of me on the camera she took from the morning news. Then she'd watch them after class. I was told she had over 200 videos of me.

It really freaked me out, I was actually scared to come to school. I felt like someone was always watching me.

After a while she got over the whole thing, and by after a while I mean after months and months of "im sorry Alice your just not my type" she finally got over me. But, I didnt know that.

One day in math I got the brilliant idea to ask her out just so she'd get off my back and just to test it out a bit.

She says yes and of course I was a little excited but I was still calm and trying to make sure no body could tell I was dating a girl. I would wear dresses to school and wear lots of makeup so people wouldn't think of me like that.

But none of that mattered when I found out what she had done. That day that I had asked her out she told everyone. And I mean EVERYONE. Her parents, her friends, the popular kids, the nerds, the jocks, the teachers, damn even the band geeks. I was humiliated. Everyone asked me if I was a dyke for weeks. After that I was so pissed and broke up with her.

But still, after we broke up she kept the videos and the pictures but this time it was for revenge. She showed everyone the embarrassing pictures. She even bought the old yearbooks to show them my pictures with braces and glasses.

Now you may be wondering where im going with this. None of these stories are even relevant. Well your right, they're not.

But this..this is war.

Alice is in love with Elijah. She's around him 24/7 and pretends to have an anxiety attack everytime he even breaths around another girl. Especially me.

"Im gonna go get something from the vending machine, want anything Eli?" he shakes his head as I grab the crumpled up 5 dollar bill from my back pocket. "Alright, wait here." as I wander off to the vending machine Alice passes me and I roll my eyes. "Great" I mumble under my breath

"Hey Elijah" she smiles and bats her eyelashes twice. He groans under his breath then fakes a smile "Hey Alice." she grabs his hand and he makes a face of disgust and tries to escape her grip but she wont budge. Amy rolls her eyes "he doesn't like you Alice, he likes someone else. God, are you blind?" Alice snarks "maybe if you roll your eyes far back into your head you might find a brain up there, dumbass." Amy gets up "Thats it! Im done with your shit Alice" Rosé pushes her back down. "Chill , Amy chill." she sighs and puts her headphones back on. Alice laughs "anyways.. Has any one told you that you have the prettiest eyes?" she blows a bubble with her warn out piece of bubble gum and looks blankly into his forest green eyes. "I uh.." she grabs his hand before he can finish his sentence. "Hey guys w-" I cut my sentence short when I see them holding hands. "Oh hey Katie!" I roll my eyes and turn my back to the hall and face the wall. Eli gets loose from her and walks behind me. I turn around and see his tall figure hovering over me and flinch. "Jesus christ dont do that to me Eli!" he chuckles and pushes a loose piece of hair behind my ear. "Do you wanna hang out later?" I wholesomely smile "yeah..I'll call you?" he smirks "I'll answer." I look down and smile "see ya then?" he gently grabs my hand. "Sure."
