Can I Really Be Your Mate?

Chapter 6

*****SARAH****

 

I pressed impatiently on the button in the elevator. I was very angry but why? The elevator opened and I went to my apartment’s door. I opened the door and slam it closed. I went directly to my room, threw my bag down my table and jumped on the bed.

How dare him!

I am not an object that anyone can pick up and throw whenever he wants. I have gone through it once, there's no way I am going to let myself be fooled again. This anger, I want to crash everything. I heard a knock on the door, I looked up and saw my mom. She smiled at me and entered. I went down again in my pillows, I felt the bed sink. My mom sat beside me and rub my hair gently.

“What happened baby? Are you alright?” asked mom

“Nothing mama. I’m fine.” I replied, my face till in the pillow.

“Yet it does not seem so. You look angry and you used to behave this way whenever you had an argument with David. Is there any problem at school?”

“It’s really nothing” I said then turned and looked at her, “I swear mama.”

“Mhmm…” she continued to stare at me, with the look ‘Take-Your-Time-I-Am-Waiting-You-To-Talk’. I knew that look and she won’t go until she has the truth.

“OK. It’s JUST a guy.”

“And what has that ‘just a guy’ did?” I am used to talk with my mom about my relationship and my life. She is also like a friend to me.

“That guy’s name is Ben. He invited me out when he already has a girlfriend and claimed that there is nothing between them when he totally make out with her all over the school. What should I do Mama, whenever I see Ben and his girlfriend together, there is a strange pain in my chest. I don’t know what it is. I just want to get rid of this pain.” I said quickly and turned and looked the opposite way.

Mom stood and walked away without saying. Usually she would always say something, but… whatever. I don’t care right now

***Megan smith (Sarah’s mom)***

Sarah does not know everything on her nature, rather she does not even want to know about it. I can’t blame her either for that. The way she felt towards that Ben seems like he is the one.

 She will have to realize that by herself. She hope that my baby girl has a beautiful future ahead of her.

***SARAH***

I grabbed my bag and reached the door. Today I’m going to show Ben that I’m not that shy and quiet girl. Eliza has not talked to me since I left school with ben. She might have been busy.

Dad dropped me school. I went to my locker.

“Hey Sarah” said Eliza appearing all a sudden. She seemed very happy, she was smiling broadly.

“Hi, what’s up? You disappeared completely without contacting once. I thought you’ve been abducted by aliens.” I said chuckling.

“I told you yesterday, right? That my boyfriend was coming back home.”

“Yea, you said something like that. So where is that man?” I questioned her. At the same moment a guy hugged Eliza from her back.

“Hey baby” said Eliza then giving him a peck on his lips over her shoulder. Then she introduced him to me; “Sarah, this is Ryan my boyfriend and Ryan this is my new bestie Sarah. She is new here.”

He seemed very familiar, his eyes and his face features. Someone I know, but who?

“Have we ever met before?”

“Have we ever met somewhere?”

We said at the same time, we stared at each other and bust of laugh.

“No never.” I replied wiping the tears near my eyes.

“Maybe we came across each other without knowing.”

“I know think so, I just came here after several years.”

“Let it be now guys. You still going to argue where you’ve seen each other. Let’s go to class we are already late.”

We rush and enter the class, Ryan had the same class as us.

At noon I left Ryan and Eliza and went to my locker to drop my books. They already went to the canteen. Oh my way to the canteen, I saw Julie standing by her locker. When she looked up and our eyes met, she glared furiously at me. Her eyes were red and swollen, it seemed that she cried a lot last night. She was about to make her way towards me, when someone called her from behind. I took the opportunity and escaped. That look she gave me was as if she was going to kill me if that person didn’t call her.

I entered the canteen and my way to our table. I sat next to Gwen.

“Hi Gwen.”

“Hey, what’s up?”

“I hate school” I said sarcastically.

  Ben was not there yet, it was a good thing. I had decided that I will totally ignore him today. Even though he is my project partner and I was going to sit next to him in the following coming class. The canteen door opened with a creak sound. I felt a soft breeze against my back. Even with my back facing the door I knew the person who enter was Ben. This moment was as if taken from a chick flick movie scene.

Ben came near me, he gently pushed Gwen aside and sat beside me.

“Sarah we need-” Started Ben but I ignored him and turned to Eliza

“Eli can you accompany me to the staff room.”

“Yea sure. Before let me make Ryan eat his peas, he is so picky about vegetables.”

“Well he has his reasons to be, peas are horrible EERK.” I said disgustedly.

“See! Even Sarah think peas are poison and I hate these.” Said Ryan and I laughed at that. “So do I.” I also respond to Eliza.

Eliza sighed and gave up, she picked her bag and stood up. I did the same but just I was about to leave my seat, Ben caught my wrist. “We need to talk.” Ben ordered me in a high pitch. He ordered me. NOBODY order me around. This is the first he talked to me like that.

“We’ve got nothing to talk. Now let go of my hand.” I snapped at him angrily.

“I won’t repeat again,” He said

“You don’t need to,” I retorted. “Don’t create a scene and let go immediately.” Instead of letting go, he tighten his grip and it hurts. I closed my eyes and whimpered. The sound of a chair falling down made me open my eyes. The first thing I saw was that Ryan’s chair was down. He made his way behind Ben and me and pulled Ben’s hand away from mine.

“She said to let go,” hissed Ryan. “Stop troubling her Ben. Now you can go Sarah.”

Before I could say anything, Eli grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the canteen. Without glancing back we went directly to the staff room.
