the next day when i walked downstairs, i didn't expect anyone more than my dad because it was noon and my friends were at school and my mom was still in chicago. once i reached the bottom step though, i heard a familiar voice that wasn't my dad's or brother's from the kitchen. i hurried into the kitchen and saw monty sitting at the small kitchen table with my dad. he was smiling, his glasses perched on his nice. he had a cup of coffee in front of him.
"what is this?" i asked.
"there you are!" my dad smiled. "your friend monty stopped by to talk to you."
he stood, "i have to head off to work but please behave."
i opened my mouth to beg him not to leave me alone with monty but he was already gone out the door. i scoffed as i turned to monty who was now standing.
"what the hell are you doing here?" i asked.
"i wanted to talk."
"i don't," i laughed in frustration. "you are an actual dickhead. i actually thought that maybe montgomery de la cruz might have a nice bone in his body. i was wrong."
i narrowed my eyes at him, crossing my arms over my chest.
"what i did was fucked up..."
"oh it's beyond fucked up, i don't know the words to describe it."
"would you listen to me please? because i'm skipping to say this."
i fell silent as i stared at him.
"look, it was fucked up, i know that. what bryce did was even more fucked up. i should have said something in that kitchen, i really should have stood up for you. and yesterday, i shouldn't have agreed with him."
"yeah well it's too late now, the whole school in convinced i fucked him and now they think i'm crazy too."
"i don't think you're crazy." he said and they way he looked at me made my heart flutter.
his brown eyes were staring down at me. his hair was slightly messy and his face was relaxed, allowing his lips to gap. and for a moment i had a crush on him but i pushed it away.
"you need to leave," i said.
"why?"
"because you already fucked up and i want nothing to do with you."
"nicolette..."
"please leave," i told him.
"alright," he nodded and waked past me.
he left out the front door as i sighed.
