Chapter 9 - Hurtful words
It's been a week since Adam has spoken, looked, or texted me. I have no idea what I did, but it must've been pretty bad. I wish I could say that it doesn't bother me, but it does.
A hell of a lot.
So currently I'm planning an intervention.
I know.
I'm so smart. Hence the last name.
I'm in class just sitting here. I'm about to piss my pants I really need to go.
" Um may I please use the restroom? " I say politely. The teacher does a quick nod and gets back to writing.
I quickly scurry out of the room. Ahh I feel refreshed. I walk out of the bathroom picking at my nails. I bump into someone hard. I look up and Adam is staring down at me.
" Hey. " He says quickly.
" Umm hello. " I say.
He tries to walk off but I grab his arm. He turns around looking annoyed. " Why are you avoiding me? " I say.
" I'm not. "
" Yes you are. " I demand.
" You know what? I don't know, Why don't you ask Ethan. " He spits.
" What does Ethan have to do with this? " I say. Then it hits me.
He's jealous.
I try to fight the smirk that's making its way onto my face. "Are you Jealous? " I say tauntingly.
He turns red. " Of course not! " He says quickly.
" Sure... " I draw.
" I'm not jealous! "
" Whatever you say. "
" I'm serious. Why would I be jealous? Its not as if I care about you. Your not pretty enough for me to like you. Your too boring. Plus you're past the weight limit I like. So no, I'm not jealous. "
That hit home.
His face comes to shock as he realized what he said. He tries to reach out for me but I recoil. Anger, disappointment, and insecureness filled my body. How could I believe that he was going to kiss me last week? I'm so stupid. My insecureness gets the better of me and tears brim my eyes.
Your so pathetic.
" Melly, I'm so sorry. Please I didn't mean it. " Adam says in distress.
I blink away the tears, and look up at him. Concern and regret fill his expression. " Whatever. I have to go goodbye. " I mumble and go to my class.
•••••••••
" Hey Kat. " I say as I descend the staircase.
She looks up and smiles at me. " Hey doll face how's it going? "
" Eh fine. What are we having for dinner? "
" Well we are having lobster. "
" Why so fancy? Who is coming over? " I ask. Because we never have lobster unless someone comes over.
" The Smaught's. Now you go get ready and tell Ethan to get ready. They will be here in an hour. " She says with a sparkle of excitement.
Glad she is excited.
I mutter profanities under my breath. I have not spoken to Adam since last week when he told me I wasn't pretty and fat and I was boring. He has made attempts to talk to me but I am an expert at avoiding.
Tonight will change your avoiding plan.
All I have to do is pretend to be happy. Pretend I wasn't crying all last week. Pretend we are all friends. When in reality, I can't stand Adam. It hurt a lot when he said those things.
That's because you had a crush on him.
It was a small one.
Ethan and I had the bright idea to twin. I was wearing a baby blue V- neck polo. Ethan is wearing the same thing except his wasn't a V-neck. We are both wearing light blue jeans. With blue vans. My hair is tied into a ponytail and Ethan's is gelled back.
" We look so good. " Brags Ethan as Kat, Ethan, and I are waiting for the Smaught's.
Kat rolls her eyes and chuckles. " Sure y'all do. But not as good as me. " She says cockily. She is so right. She is wearing a black dress with black heels. " Now you two. Be on your best behavior. No potty mouth, smartass remarks, or the weird thing you always do when your together, where you confuse other people just for your entertainment. " She says knowingly.
I smirk at Ethan. " I don't know. I have a bad case of the fuck its. " I say.
Kat's eyes go as wide as saucers and Ethan is snickering.
Just as Kat is about to tell me off, the doorbell rings. Kat shoots me a glare before opening the door. " Linda, Derek, Rosie, Adam, Antonio, how are y'all? " Kat says.
" Were good. It is so nice to see y'all again. Well who's this? " Linda says running her eyes over Ethan.
" I'm Ethan. Nice to meet you. " He says and kisses her knuckles. She just smiles widely and starts to the kitchen. Adam has not even looked at me.
Ethan and I see in the back when I cough to him. " Kiss ass. "
Ethan looks at me and smirks. " So Adam is the one you were talking about right? The one who said bad things to you? " Asks Ethan. I told Ethan everything. I nod and Ethan clenches his fists. Ethan is very protective of me. Ever since we were little. When I was 10 and a little boy asked me to play with him on the playground and when I rejected, he pushed me. Ethan came and told him a lot of vulgar things for a 10 year old.
We arrive at the dining room and everyone takes their seats. Ethan is on one side of me and Rosie is on the other. Adam is directly in front of me.
This is going to be a long night.
A/N so this is a long chapter. Cue Yayyyyyyaaaaaas. It was getting really long so I decided that I would continue it in the next chapter.
