Sabotage: A Roc Royal Story

Forgiveness Is Only Worth So Much

I sat on the ground infront of my locker, not noticing the figure standing above me.

??: Um, Destini?

I looked up & thank god it was Craig. He looked me in my eyes & took a seat next to me on the ground. He took my hand in his & looked over my frusterated face.

Craig: Hey Destini, why are you out here?

Me: I should be asking you the same thing.

Craig: This is my free period, so why are you out here?

Me: Umm, it's a long story.

Craig: I've got time, i'm all ears.

I looked at him and leaned my head on his shoulder, taking in his glorious scent. He used his other hand to smooth out my hair.

Me: Well, yu know.. it's a blue day, and I have all my classes with Santo. So, as you can imagine, it's awkward because we're not talking anymore. So, i'm sitting in class next to Shmeeby & one of the sophmores walk into the room with red & white long stem roses. And.. they're for me.. from Chresanto. I was so mad & heated & pissed i threw the roses away and came out here. I just want him to know i want noting to do with him anymore.

Craig: But, Desi... how can you throw away 14 years of friendship.

Me: The same way he did.

Craig: But would ever happen to forgive and forget.

Me: It died. It all died.

Craig: You're being stubborn.

Me: Am not. Risi made my life hell from the time I was five until now. She cut my hair, spread rumors about me, got me jumped, almost got me expelled, has sabotaged everything my life is about & taken away one of my bestfriends. And, Chresanto was able to see pass all that and leave me in the dark. He left me. I've always been by his side & he left me for some plastic stick figure. And it stings, and burns, and hurts. And what makes it worse is that...

Craig: What?

Me: What makes it worse is that I really believed.. I was in love with him. For eight years of my life I have passed by so many opprotunities just hoping, that Chresanto would want me... the same way I wanted him.

Craig: Destini, there's somebody here for you. Chresanto maybe isn't the one. Maybe this was all put in your way so you could see who really loves you.

Me: And who is that?

And without any further ado, he bends down and blesses my lips with his. WHOAH MY LORD! I am just in heaven, floating ona cloud, high fiving jesus. I placed my hands on his cheeks and hoisted myself onto my knee's not breaking away from his kiss. Our lips danced in sync as his hands found my waist. We kept kissing until the bell rung and people started fleeing from the class rooms. He pulled me up off the ground and smiled.

Craig: Hopefully, that was a helpful hint.

He kissed my cheek and walked away, on to his next class. I put my hands on my lips in remembrance of where his lips were and smiled cherubically. Did that really just happen? Before I could stop smiling Shawnii runs over to me, with an angry face on.

Shawnii: Oh my god, Destini, you just hoed Santo's life in there!

Me: Okay.

shawnii: You're heartless, are you proud of yourself?

Me: okay.

Shawnii: Are you even listening? Why are you smiling like that? did you get some out in this hallway ?
