Chapter 15-Teenagers

Recap

The silence of the bathroom was disturbed by the opening of the door and a pair of high heels walking in. And as soon as I thought my day couldnt have gotton any worse, it just did.

*******

I kept my eyes on the mirror not looking back. Of course it had to be her. Carla in all her glory was behind me. Her brown hair was down in waves, and she was wearing all pink. A pink mini skirt and a pink blazer over it. Her emotionless stared back at me through the mirror. She didn't have her face of disgust when she looked at me, and she wasn't throwing snarky remarks at me like she usually does. Which was kinda freaking me out. None of us spoke for a while.

"So how's your nose?" She broke the silence. It was soft, almost sincere like she felt guilty for doing it. Somehow it got me mad and I snapped. I sharply turned around and glared at her. "Yea its fine actually."

"What do you want?" I said annoyed. I didn't know where all this bravery came from.

"Laila... its just." She ran her hand down her hair. "I came here to apologize to you."

I was taken back by her answer. "What?" I asked, clearly surprised.

After all this time. After all she's done to me, why now?

Her voice sounded sweet and sincere, no hint of sarcasm or hatred. Was she forreal?

"Why now? Bullying me ever since Freshmen year me for no reason. And you decide now to apologize?"

"I know, I know. I feel horrible. I just realized what I've been doing to you when I punched you." Her voice began to crack. "Gosh, I felt like such a monster when I did that to you and I felt horrible, I couldn't even look at myself. I-I didn't even know why I started doing this to you. I couldn't face you cause I know you hate me for what I did to you for all these years. Could you find it in your heart to fogive me for all I've done?" Her eyes got puffy from crying and her mascara was running down her face.

"You know I don't give a damn, right?" My voice was laced with venom. I was so done with her shit. What was she pulling now? I turned to leave but suddenly stopped and turned to her.

"Why are you doing this, is this another stupid prank you're pulling on me?"

"What, no! I swear I'm telling the truth but if you don't believe me it's fine. I wouldn't forgive myself either," She muttered wiping her cheeks with a tissue.

I started playing with my hands nervously. "Look listen, I know what you've done and it really hurt me, practically scarred me. And I shouldn't forgive you I have a gut feeling." Then I looked up to meet her gaze. "But my hearts telling me I should and forget the past." I couldn't see her like this, I was a sucker for sad people. Damn me being too emotional for my own good.

"Yea I forgive you Carla, it's the best thing. But I swear if this is-"

Before I could finish she hugged me. She actually hugged me. It was warm and welcoming. Her perfume hit me like a tidal wave almost knocking me down. I hugged her back tightly.

After a little while we pulled back. She looked at me now smiling tears all gone.

"Laila I'm glad you gave me a second chance."

I squeezed her shoulder. "Me too."

"Okay well then I'll see you later?"

"Uh yea sure see ya later."

She hugged me one last time and skipped out of the bathroom.

I pinched myself on the arm. "Ow." Yup that was definetely real, that actually happened. My mind was spinning and confusion was seeping in. I can't believe that just happened, and it was actually real not some daydream I was having. I felt like I was forgetting something, oh crap! I finally realized. I totally forgot I'm suppose to be back ages ago and class already finished. I thought as I ran out of the bathroom.

Yup the teacher was mad at me, actually disappointed at me. Apparently my excuse wasn't reasonable enough(taking my time) so I got detention, again. Two detentions in a row what is happening to me? I gotta stop doing this soon I'll get suspended or even worse.... Expelled. I gasped at that and realized I was gonna be late to my next class. I gathered my things off the floor and went to my locker. Biology here I come.

Pretty short I just wanted to get it out there. Anyways vote, comment, follow, give  me your feedback and yea that's about it.(sorry for not updating since forever) 🙈
