Worst of Me

Chapter 13

ROSEANNE PARK'S POV

I got up and looked at my calendar.

"ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS OF SCHOOL!" I exclaimed.

"Ah, what the fuck?!" Summer exclaimed, sitting up. Crap, I forgot she was asleep.

"O-oh, you're asleep..right.." I mumbled.

"No shit, Captain Obvious." Summer said,grumpily. I shrugged off her comment and looked through my phone. I didn't have a single message or call from Skyler, not even a hello or anything.

"Ugh, I fucked up.." I groaned.

"Do you even like her?" Summer asked. I looked at her,shocked.

"O-of course I do." I said. Or do I...

"Doesn't seem like it, you always look uncomfortable or disgusted whenever y'all kiss or do something affectionate.." Summer said.

"I-I'm just not used it!" I said,defensively.

"Or are you just not gay?" She said. I stayed silent.

"I-I..." I didn't know what to say.

"Look, I'll stop interrogating you, but you should probably try to find yourself or just not be in a relationship right now. You don't know how you feel about women, you're probably still figuring out men, so I'd suggest calling things off with Skyler. Not only did you cheat on her, but your also messing with her emotions." Summer explained, "That's just fucked up."

I stared at her,shocked and speechless. Dear lord, when did she become so mature?!

I nodded hesitantly and grabbed my stuff.

"We should probably hurry, we've got like...3 minutes, till the bus comes. Either that or we walk." Summer said the word walk with a look of disgust.

"I dunno, I want to walk." I said, changing.

"Suit yourself, I'm riding the bus." Summer said, grabbing a granola bar and walking out of the house. How am I going to break it to Skyler...

I walked into the courtyard, which left me about 5 minutes to hang around before heading to class.

"Maybe I should tell her now.." I mumbled, then shook my head. I haven't even planned out what I'm going to say...

I sighed from stress and looked around for my friends. I found Alex sitting with Eury and Donny.

"Hey guys!" I said, approaching them.

"Hey Rose." Donny said,looking at her.

"Where's Fern?" I asked, not used to seeing Eury by herself.

"She said she felt sick." Eury answered, sound disappointed.

"And she didn't make you stay? Surprising.." I said.

"Well, she didn't want me to get sick either and she didn't want to make my grades go down.." Eury said. I nodded and froze when I saw someone approaching. Donny and Alex looked where my line of sight directed to and immediately looked away, awkward.

"Hey." Skyler said, sitting next to Eury.

"Hey.." Alex mumbled, feeling the awkward tension. God, it's really awkward..

The bell rang and I immediately stood up and walked to the choir room. Saved by the bell, literally.

First period went by too quickly second period came and I sit next to..her. I walked slowly to class, trying to go slow enough to not arrive at the same time as her, but fast enough to make it at the last minute.

I entered and sheepishly sat down next to Skyler, who was clearly still miffed. I tried to distance my chair away from her, but ended up not that far from her.

"Okay class, today you will be working on a clay whistle!" The teacher said, as he passed out clay slabs. We received ours and watched as the teacher wrote the instructions on the board and did a demonstration. I silently did mine while occasionally glancing at Skyler. I sighed, wanting to relieve the tension and just tell her.

"So, are you going to apologize or fuck Eury's girlfriend?" Skyler asked, coldly.

"I-I really am sorry.." I said,quietly. Skyler's expression softened,but she said nothing in return.

The bell rang and I rushed out, relieved I could escape the tension.

The day progressed pretty smoothly after that. I did my best to avoid Skyler, which worked out well, actually better than I had expected.

I stood out in the courtyard with Summer nearby. Skyler, I know you're mad at me, but please listen to me. I'm sorry for cheating, really, I am! Also, I think we..should see other people. I'm not ready for a relationship because, I'll be honest, I don't think I'm gay..

"Ughh it doesn't seem well enough." I grumbled. I looked up and immediately felt a wave of dread overfill me. Skyler was walking to the courtyard with her keys to the lock on her bike.

"S-SKYLER!" I managed to say through much willpower. She turned her attention to me, not looking too joyful.

"U-Um I need to talk to you!" I said, running up to her.

"What?" She said, obviously not wanting to talk any further. I took a deep breath.

"I r-really am sorry for cheating and well..I-I think we should talk about our relationship." I said. Skyler looked at me.

"What about it?" She said, a mix of both sadness and anger showing through her expression.

"I-I think we should see other people." I said. Skyler's expression immediately went to one of disappointment.

"Why? If this about you kissing Fern I-" I cut her off.

"It's because.. I'm not ready for a relationship. I honestly don't know if I'm gay. I don't know how I feel about dating women or even being attracted to them and I'm not too sure about men either. That's why. I don't want to continue this relationship because it's going to be bad for you. I care about your well-being and if we continue this, you'll be even more hurt than you are now." I explained, "We can continue being friends though.."

"I..understand.." Skyler said with a tinge of sadness in her voice. I hugged her.

"Thank you for hearing me out and for understanding.." I mumbled.

"I'm happy you told me and that you realized also." Skyler said as we pulled away. I smiled and nodded,waving bye before leaving.

"That looked like it went well." Summer said.

"Heh..yeah. It did.." I said.
