You Don't Own Me

Chap 8

As I enter the class, Corbyn block my way but lead the way to my seat. He sits at his place but Daniel still isn't here yet.

"Hola Alice ¿Cómo estás?" (Hi Alice, How are you doing?) You didn't know that he can at least say something in Spanish as he always skip Spanish Class. That smarty dude. "¿Soy bueno y tú?" (I'm good and you?) You said. "Jonah te ha extrañado como loco". (Jonah has been missing you like crazy) You laughed at him because you know he's lying. "¿Estás seguro?" (are you sure?) He nodded.

Jonah finally arrives. He sits next to you without saying anything. Corbyn quickly turn his chair around. "Do you miss me?" You asked. "Oui." (yes)

Why everyone is talking in a different language? You question yourself about it. Next week is the language week. It could be everyone's practicing? Weird....

"Je le savais. " (I knew it.)

"Why you're ignoring me?" You start to talk again. "I think you need time to be fully okay with what happened." He's right. You need space but you still need your friends. "J'ai entendu dire que Zach avait rompu avec Karlie. Il veut te sortir de là." (I heard Zach broke up with Karlie. He wants to date you now.)

You're speechless. You're Alice Herron. You're a part of his family. "Jonah. I don't want to date him. Never. I just found out the truth. But, I'll come over to your house after school." You said. You trust Jonah but deep down you're hoping he will keep the secret. "okay. I'll wait for you."

It has been a long day. You decide to stay at home this weekend without going out anywhere. You're exhausted from everything. Truth keeps coming out. You can say those are 'unexpected truths'.

"So, what's it?" He asks you to sit next to him. "I was adopted and Zach's parents, they're my real parents." His mouth is wide open. "What the fuck? I bet that idiot doesn't know about this."

"Sorry but once an idiot, always be an idiot. Kidding." After the whole day having a stressful face, there he's. Cracking up and his laugh starts to echo the room. You could listen to his voice all day. No kidding. Oopssie.

Let's get back to the story.

"Zach should know. I just don't want to see you date him. It'll be super awkward." He's right but you're not ready to tell him yet. "I'm going to meet them this Saturday. I guess it'll be a right time to tell him everything."

"Zach. Please. I don't want to end this. I love you." Karlie said. "Karlie. I used to love you. I'm with someone else. It's none of your business. My friends are right. You're clingy and you've been controlling me. I can't even hang out with my guy friends. Or talk with girls. If I'm in relationship, I only have eyes on one girl. But, this is the end of us. We're over. "

"Zach. I know that 'someone else' is Alice. That whore. She's got a fake personality. She may seems like an angel but she's a devil. She almost killed me. And you still like her? What am I to you? Just your sex toy? Tell me. Yes, I hooked up with Jack. I did cheated on you with Jonah. But, thanks god Corbyn and Daniel are smart enough by not falling into my trap. But, I'll keep an eye for them. I will do anything to get back with you... Or makes you jealous to let you know your loss. "

"KARLIE! I'M DONE. WE'RE DONE. FUCK YOU! IF YOU TOUCH HER, I'M NOT GOING TO FORGIVE YOU. DON'T EVER GET NEAR CORBYN AND Daniel. AND ALSO  JONAH AND JACK! YOU'RE JUST MAKING EVERY GUY AS A FUCKING SLAVE. A SEX SLAVE. YOU OFFER SEX ON THE PLATE. WHERE'S YOUR RESPECT TOWARDS US? WHERE'S YOUR DIGNITY?"

"Now, get the fuck out of here. I don't want to see your face anymore. I want to say that don't beg when someone doesn't need you anymore. You're the real whore. I just don't know how many guys you've slept with while dating me. I know you want to have sex with random guys to fulfill your need. What a fucking slutty bitch. Yes, my loss but I don't care anymore. You're not a real woman. You just sell yourselves to the guys. I know you've a right to have sex but don't make it looks like something cheap." He added.

"Alice. So, the guys coming over. Are you okay with it?" You feel a little bit weird. He never asked you about how you really feel. "I'm okay. They're my friends." Daniel, Jack and Corbyn are finally here. "Alice, how was Dubai?"
Daniel asked. "Kinda okay. I like LA more."

"I can't wait for next week!" Corbyn said. You know how excited he's as you hear his tone of voice. "So, we're going to be in group. Each of us need to talk at least 1 language. So, I choose Spanish." Corbyn said. "French for me." Jonah said as raised his hand. "Mandarin!" Jack said. "Japanese! I'm going to start my lesson this Friday."
Daniel looks worried but he's going to sound cute anyway when he talks in another language. "Well, I choose Korean language."

"Cool. So, we need to translate 3  phrases from English to the languages that we choose! The words I think we should work on are 'good morning, good night, good luck'. But we can also teach each other certain words or sentences. I hope we can get it done before next Thursday. " Corbyn is the leader based on what I see. He's good at this. He's a good leader but he hates it when you complimented him.

Ps: if your name is Karlie,hope youre okay with it. This is just a made up story after all but some of it based on the true events. xo
