The Outcast

Chapter 14

Continued.

"Agnes where are you going?" Charles asked.

Somewhere far away from you, that's where.

"I'm going to my grandparents' for a bit. Why?"

He didn't reply. He came across to my bed and sat at the edge, looking all worried. I started feeling sorry for him, I don't know why.

So I asked, "What's wrong?"

He just shook his head, and I saw a tear roll down the side of his face. He tried to wipe it quickly but I already saw.

He's bipolar. Damn.

He finally spoke, "Look Agnes, I like you, okay? I really do. But I honestly don't want you all mixed up with me and my problems."

I didn't know what to say.

I only managed, "It's going to be okay."

He slightly smiled and asked, "So when are you leaving?" while wiping his face.

"Tomorrow."

He frowned.

"But tomorrow there's a big game, the Hornets against the Hawks. You can't miss it."

"Actually I've seen enough, plus my grandparents haven't seen me in a while."

"Oh okay," He simply replied.

The rest of the night was calm and quiet. I laid across my bed, scrolling through my Instagram. I came across a picture of my friends. I suddenly felt that emptiness in my stomach. I haven't hung with them since earlier this year and usually we hang all the time.

I miss them.

I should go to our group chat and message them.

As I opened the chat, 'You were removed,' came across the screen.

What?

Let me message Hannah, to see what's going on.

*Opens Hannah's chat.

I should play it cool.

"Hey Hannah, it's been a while."

She replied instantly.

"Um hey Agnes."
"How are you?"

"I'm fine, how are you?"

"I'm good."

"So how come I was removed from the group chat?" *inserts intrigued emoji*

"Oh that... Um well the girls thought since you've got a new friend, as in that boy next door, then you wouldn't have time for us and you'd turn into a creep, so they all voted on removing you."

I couldn't type, I needed her to hear how fucking angry I was. I sent a voice note saying,

"Vote? Y'all fucking voted? I can't believe you guys, I was there for each and every one of you when you all had man problems, I didn't even judge you guys. I've done so much for you guys and this is my reward, fucking voting me out of something I probably wasn't even a part of anyway. So you know what, I won't even waste my time. "

*Sent.

"Hey, come on now Agnes. Don't be like that. You know I would never do anything intentionally to hurt you. Come on, I can just add you back."

Add me back? The heck is wrong with this bitch?

I replied with a "No thank you."

Then blocked.

Hannah, a perky blonde, always preppy. A fucking cheerleader of course. Always gets what she wants. Blue eyes. Big curly, blonde hair. Whore. There goes my subconscious. Oh boy. But yes, she's a bit self absorbed. I'm sure she removed me anyway.

I guess it's time for bed. I've had a long ass day. I'm so drained.
