The Ultimate Friend

Chapter 2

''Petty, are you serious about what you post lately? Everyone is talking about you.'' Lexi insisted on pissing me off from the early morning because I don't care what 'everyone 'says. When I need people, they turn their back at me so I care less about what they say. I am not even used to care. ''You're not the girl you are trying to convince people with petty. You're better than this.'' I totally ignored her and started heading towards my locker. ''You're already twenty minutes late. 'I moved past her as I let a small smile slip. I don't really know if her words should affect me or just to be ignored. All I know is that I'm feeling free and strong for some reason. I had to cut my thoughts for now since I was already so late for my lecture.

''I'm sorry.'' I said politely as I walked into the lecture hall. The doctor let a small smile and let me in. Weird! I winked at Lexi as I took the seat next to her. The whole lecture was so mundane and nothing that would help me actually because whatever the doctor says is already in the book so I decided to just surf on my phone.

-I'm waiting outside your building. You have to get in here or else I'm going to tell everyone that we're engaged. - The Big Ass Cheater.

What the... I was traumatized for a minute. Didn't know if I really want to see that guy one more time or not? Why is he chasing me everywhere! Why can't he leave me alone after ruining my life!! I quickly grabbed my purse and left from the hall's backdoor. The whole scene of him with that girl crossed my mind as I was rushing to him before he does something stupid. Like he have always done! My heart started beating so hard as his face started to appear to me and I could already feel my legs weak. I was so nervous at the moment and I just wanted someone to help me out with this because I was scared...to face him.

''Got prettier.''

''Why are you here?'' I was so peeved to see him after all this. He never stopped following, calling and chasing me on social media.

''I want you back.''

''Damn! Why don't you fucking get this! I'm so done with your bullshit Blake. I've had enough of you and you just messed up with my life. '' I had to stop and take a deep breath as I felt so sore that I can barely feel my legs holding me. ''l tried. I tried to get back to you, Blake but whenever I look into your face, I see you with that girl. I loved you but I was so young. I was a teenager that loved you for being bad but I never thought that you'd be betraying me like this.'' I started shouting so hard that I spotted a couple of people from my college staring at me and actually enjoying which annoyed me even more. ''You walked away when I needed you the most so don't ever try to talk to me again.'' I screamed the last words as I walked away past him. He didn't call me back or followed me and I wasn't waiting for him to. I wanted him to leave me alone because every time I see him, I remember what happened to me just because of him. I faced people talking shit about me and how I betrayed my uncle by loving his friend, I faced my parent's sickening talks about me and I was humiliated from everyone that I once loved... I can never forget what happened to me and I will never forgive anyone who was involved in making me feel the way I felt at that time. I cried a lot and I'm still crying. My parents think that I got over it but every single word they offended me with at that time is still stuck on my head.

''Petty Alberts?'' Someone called from behind. I quickly wiped my tears away and looked to see a guy in his middle twenties holding a pack of flowers but wasn't really familiar to know my full name. ''these are yours.'' He handed me the flowers and just as I took them, the guy totally disappeared. That was my favorite type of flowers, Tulip. I didn't know whether to smile or be displeased.

-I'm sorry baby girl. - The Big Ass Cheater.

I threw them away and walked not knowing what to do or say. I just wanted to grab something to eat so I headed to the food court.

''Petty, join us.'' A friend called as I was searching for an empty chair but it seems like I wasn't the only one starving here. I headed towards the girl's table and sat on the only empty chair next to a guy that I didn't know. They started jumping from one subject to another which was out of my interests but I tried to cope with them, at least better than crying alone.

''My favorite movie is Inception.''

''Mine is The fault in our Stars.''

''I like fifty shades of Grey.'' I popped up, finally saying a word. Everyone was silent for a minute before they started laughing and whispering to each other's. I had to hide my embarrassment so I just looked away pretending like I wasn't paying attention to whatever they're doing to annoy me.

''It's so porn.'' The guy next to me said but he was looking at me not laughing with them. LOL! Worse!

''It's a very romantic movie when you get to know more about it or maybe read the book.'' I said confidently. I had to insist of showing who am I and what my real interests are.

''I want to get to know you more.'' That distracted me a little bit and made me feeling so uncomfortable. I wasn't expecting him to say that. I thought that he will just deride me.Just like the others and for some reason that I didn't know at the moment, started to talk to him freely about myself and my sister, Elena, the only one I trust in this world. We talked as if we knew each other from hundreds of years ago that everyone left and we're still talking. Surprisingly, from a very long time, I've never felt that.. peaceful...when I am with a guy.
