"To the untrue man, the whole universe is false- it is impalpable- it shrinks to nothing within his grasp. And he himself is in so far as he shows himself in a false light, becomes a shadow, or, indeed, ceases to exist."

"Could you leave! It was fun fooling around with you but that's that, it was all a game."

This girl had been nagging me non-stop. I told her the moment we got 'together' that it would be all fun and games, but she got attached.

"Please Andrew! What we have is special and you know that, everyone in this goddamn school knows that. Why won't you give us a chance?" Her voice was coated with irritation but above all hurt.

Her mascara or whatever that black stuff was around her eyes was slowly running down her face. Her cheeks were flushed, and whatever make-up she had applied on her face was also fading away.

"Kathy! You have a boyfriend for crying out loud, that being the first reason, secondly I don't love you, never have and never will. Most importantly the third reason, I love Zoe, I screwed up when I fucked you, the first time she looked past that, but I, being the dick that I am, fucked up, again. I don't know how I'm going to fix that, but I sure as hell know I'm not involving myself with you ever again. So please do yourself some good and stop being pathetic, stop following me around, and stop fucking with Zoe." I stepped closer to her until we were a feet apart, I bent over to whisper something into her right ear to deliver the message. The look on her face spoke volumes and I knew that I wouldn't be hearing from her for a little while.

Books securely packed into my bag, I made my way towards the library. Phone in hand, I browsed through my contacts and saw Bella's number, my finger hovered on the call icon but I decided against that and texted her instead.

Me: Where you at? I'm at the library, get here ASAP. I got shit to do.

I could have worded that better, but I was still annoyed and quite pissed at Kathy that I needed a release. But first off, I needed to remove subtle elements from this equation, one being that stupid assignment.

She replied shortly after and her text only managed to edge me on.


Bella: You're not the only person trying to do "shit", get your egotistical behavior in check.
