The Happiness Of Tragedy

Chapter 26

The next couple of school days went by in a big blur. Tuesday I got a call from my mom and I was not ready for school that morning but she boost my energy a little. I didn't tell her about Levi even though she suspected something was wrong. She just told me to keep my head up and call whenever I needed to talk.

Of course, I didn't tell her about wanting to leave the school and maybe think about being home schooled either. Do I really wanna jeopardize my college education over a guy? He's just some guy and Victoria is just some girl, they can't change my life or who I am.

As the days went by, I haven't really talked to Ali that much. I have only said a couple of words to Violet and Monica and they didn't suspect anything. At least not until now.

We were sitting at the courtyard tables for breakfast Saturday morning and Ali forced me to tell what had happened on Monday because she felt that I was in a bad mood. Jason wasn't here so I guess this would be the perfect time to talk to them. But do I really want to tell them what happened? My stomach was in knots and I haven't eaten much these couple of days. Should I tell them how tragic my week had began?

"And Victoria showed you what?" Ali said, her  arms were folded and her eyebrows were furrowed.

"She showed me the message that Levi sent to her. It said Levi and it said he just wanted to use me because of what happened in high school and that I would be an easy target" I could feel the tears forming in my eyes and I blinked them back. I swallowed then.

After that day, Victoria didn't really say much to me or maybe not about me. I mean I didn't noticed anything when I was around. She would just glance at me and smile her sly smile when I caught her looking. I guess she thought she proved a big point on showing me the message Levi sent her. I guess now she's just waiting for him to return so I can break up with him and she can move in. Speaking of Levi, I looked around the courtyard. He was nowhere to be seen. Of course.

"Are you sure it was from him? I mean she could have used his name for someone else" Violet asked.

"Maybe but the message sounded like it was directed at me. And he's the only person I've been with since coming to this school" I explain myself.

"Bastard. I can't believe he would do that to you. After what you've been through" Monica chimes in with a angry look on her face.

"Yeah but I don't wanna talk about it anymore okay? Let's change the sub please" I plead.

"Sure. Let's talk about how we forgot about the party down by the beach tonight" Vi says, before drinking some of her orange juice.

"Shit, I forgot", Ali says, "we are still going though...right?"

They all look at me.

"I don't wanna go, I'm sorry" I tell them. I don't wanna go to a party where I might be left alone for another incident to happen or worse.

"But you said you would go Kat" Monica says

"I know" I bit my lip and played with the water bottle I had in front of me.

"Okay, well you can't sit in the room by yourself. Plus we don't have class tomorrow. Why can't you go this one time?" Ali asks, waiting patiently for my response.

  "I'll catch up on my work then. It's fine, I'll find something to do"

They left it at that. Ali told us that Jason was planning something for them both and she would meet us at our room later on before the party. Monica, Vi and I headed toward our room.

As we're walking down the hall, I could see Monica go still and I look at her. Then I could see Lucas walking toward us, a basketball in his hand. He must be heading to the gym.

"Lucas, what are you doing?" Violet stops him and asks.

He holds up the basketball, "going to the gym to play ball with some guys"

He looks at Monica, "hey Monica" she smiles and waves. Then he turns to me, "hey Katerina" it was his turn to smile now.

I forced a small smile.

"Are you girls going to the party tonight?" He switches the ball from his left hand to his right.

"Yes we are and I'm sure you are too" Violet says, folding her arms.

"Yeah so I guess I'll catch you guys later" he laughs and storms away.

I could see Violet roll her eyes. Monica on the other hand was messing with her hair and trying to take the color away from her red face. I smiled a little more then, thinking about the times when I used to get nervous being around Levi and now that won't happen anymore, I thought. Maybe I should go to the party to get back at him and talk to someone new.

"He is such a pain, I swear it. I hope he doesn't get drunk like he did during the last party" Violet was telling Monica but all she was doing was smiling.

We made it to the room and I immediately jumped on my bed and layed back.

"So what should we do in the meantime?" Violet asks Moni and I.

I check my phone time, 12:00pm.

"I have no idea. What time is the party?"

"Its at 6" Vi said.

"I'm gonna take a quick nap. I have not been sleeping too good lately", I take my shoes off, tie my hair back and fix my pillow, "this whole situation has gotten me on edge"

"Cool, me and Vi are gonna head to my room. We'll wake you up before the party" Monica tells me.

I didn't answer her, I just tried to dose off and get away from my issues for a minute.
