I'm In Love With A Rebel

What Do You Want?

I dreaded going to school that Wednesday morning. I hated how I looked, I hated the guy who made me feel this way, but most of all, I hated my supposed boyfriend. Nearly twenty days ago, he told me that he loved me. Then I catch him sucking face with my former favorite sister.
As I got my books out of my locker, Helen asked, "Are you feeling any better, Becky?"
I sighed. "Not really."
"I'm sorry. You look better- except for that look on your face that says, 'go away or I'll bite your head off'."
I looked at Helen. "It just hasn't been a great month, okay?"
"Yeah. I hope you feel better," and she headed to her first class.
"Yeah, right." I slammed my locker and headed to biology.
During biology, Jesse stared at me through the window. I ignored him, but he wouldn't go away. Finally, I raised my hand.
"Yes, Becky?"
"Something over here is making me feel sick. May I swap seats with someone?"
"Are you sick?"
"No, it's probably mold or the smells from outside."
"Sure. Of course. Um... Brian, do you mind switching with Becky?"
"Whatever." He gathered his pencil and books.
"Don't say that," the teacher scolded as I moved to the front of the class, far away from any windows.

School passed, I went to tutoring, skipped that scum bucket's session, and walked home.
"Becky! Becky, wait!"
I ignored the guy calling me, walking faster and faster.
"Hey! I said wait up!"
I turned around to see my first ex-boyfriend, Brian Hackett.
"What do you want?"
"I just wanna know if you're okay. There's a rumor going around that you almost got raped?"
"Uh!" How'd he find out about that? Who told him? "That is so not true!"
"Then why were you out for two weeks?"
"I was sick! I had the flu!"
"It's not flu season."
"Look, it's none of your business, so leave me alone!" I turned around and started walking away again.
"Could I make it my business?"
"Oh! I don't believe you!" I turned around. "It's none of your business if I almost got raped or not!"
"I just wanna help..."
"You wanna help? You wanna help? I'll tell you how you can help! You can send that son of a gun to jail, that's how you can help! You can turn back time so he didn't do that to me! You can kill me, cause I can't live with the fact that I was almost raped!" My eyes widened and I turned around, tears starting to fall. I started running, not caring if Brian followed or stayed behind.
