Attraction (GirlXGirl)

4. friday night

It has been a couple of days since I have had this conversation with Rose. I am not going to lie, I was very scared she might never talk to
me again. She doesn't pick up Alissa after school anymore, I wonder what happened. I have been trying to get her out of my mind, in vain.

I am now in at school, packing my back to prepare myself to walk towards my next class.

"Hi" The boy next to me says

"Hi Zack" I smile at him. Zack and I have always gotten along. We have gone out together a couple of times, we've never been super close though.

"How are you doing Serena?" He asks me as we're going to our next class together.

"I'm pretty good, a little bored as usual. What about you?" I say

"What about you come hang out with me and some friends tonight, if you don't have plans?" He proposes nicely

"Sure, what are we going to do?" I smile

"We don't know yet, probably going to walk around London and chill." He says

"Count me in." I smile. I haven't been to the city in a long time.

"Meet me at the train station" Zack smiles

I smile back "I need to go to the bathroom, see you later". He waves before disappearing.

I make my way to the women's bathroom and enter a cabin. Suddenly, I hear sniffles in the toilet next to me. I don't dare to ask where it is. It's probably a stranger and I don't want to disturb, although I wish I could help that person. It's heartbreaking to hear someone cry.

I hear the stranger going out of the toilet to wash their hands, as I get out a couple of seconds later.

I am surprised when I see the person shredding tears is none other than Alissa Jones.

"Are you okay?" I ask, looking at her puffy eyes and red cheeks

"Don't act like you care." She cries, keeping her eyes down.

"I do care. The fact we're not friends doesn't justify anything. I'm here for you." I say truthfully

Surprisingly, I feel Alissa wrapping her arms around me, crying in my shoulder. I understand she needs comfort, so I hug her back.

"It's going to be okay" I whisper, trying to calm her down

"Have you ever gone through the worst possible heartbreak, although you had been warned.." She suddenly asks me

"What do you mean?" I can't help my curiosity

"I can't say" She says, crying even harder

"Why can't you say? Who hurt you Alissa?" I ask

"I hurt myself. I fell in love with a fucking sociopath. She- He had warned me he would leave after fucking me. He was so sweet with me for weeks, I thought he had changed his mind. Last night, he took my virginity and left me."

"I am so sorry... if there's anything I can do-" I say, imagining what kind of pain she must be going through

"It's okay. Thank you." She says

Alissa looks away and goes out of the bathroom after thanking me for comforting her.

I knew I was late to class, but it didn't matter. Falling in love with a sociopath? It might be an interesting story to write. I don't think I will ask Alissa more about it though.

"Sorry for being late, there was traffic. Anyway this is Flynn, Kaia and Liam. Guys this is Serena from my class." Zack introduces us all and the rest of his friends smile at me
