"Ash I...I l-like you. I like you a lot. Not k-knowing.... Ignoreing you-it hurt. It hurt like h-hell" she stammered.
"If what Andrew said was true...." she left the sentence hanging.
"Ash I don't care. I-I I want to be...
Aghh not with the crappy nickname again. Had he not learned his lesson yet?
"You know you never answered me," he said.
"What answer do you want?" I was annoyed. My day has been nothing but shitty till now.
"Do you usually hang out in the supply closet?" was this guy for real.
"Shut up." he chuckled. Cute.
He did not seem as bad as Violet's reaction towards the whole situation. I started walking towards my next class, English.
"Where are you going kitty?" he caught up with me easily.
"To my next class dumbass. Where else do you think?" I retorted back.
"That's the reason I was standing there waiting for you. The principal has given us both detention and the whole day free for you."
"Why am I free of classes?" I asked suspicious of the fact that something good might actually come out of this day, it was too good to even imagine. Na surely that wasn't possible in my case.
"Ohh he thought that you might never get that yellow sunshine off yourself kitty. Plus he said he won't inform your mom, said something like 'the embarrassment is enough for her.'" he smirked.
Ughh that's right I will be the joke of the whole school now.
Wait a minute.
"If you don't have a day off how come you are here and not in your class." we were still walking towards English.
He just shrugged at that. As if it was no big deal to skip the class like that. Maybe it wasn't for him. But I was gonna spend this time looking for my necklace.
Ughh I left my car keys with Violet.
I don't want to track her down now.
Wait I have a spare in my locker. They were in the opposite direction so I turned around 180 degrees and started in the direction we were coming from.
"Hey!" seeing me turn he turned as well and again very easily kept pace with me.
"Why kitty?" I asked suddenly. Even I didn't know I was thinking about that right now.
"What?"
"Why did you call me kitty just now? Why not wet kitty?"
"Why do you like wet kitty?"
"No I don't like any of them, just curious I guess."
"Well you are not wet right now." he laughed.
I rolled my eyes. Well, it was true I guess, all the three-time we were together somehow I was always drenched in something.
"Where are you going now?"
Instead of answering him I just kept going. I think he was following me more out of curiosity now. Or maybe he was about to murder me after all.
I was at the locker. Keys in my hand and I started walking towards the direction of my car.
I was set out. I was going to go to Diya's house and ask the caretaker to look for my locket. I had to find it, no matter how.
When I was almost in the parking area he asked again"where are we going?"
"We are not going anywhere," I stated.
"I lost my necklace and I am going to look for it," I told him so he would stop following me and go back to class.
"yeah, I have been meaning to ask that. Is that banana head your boyfriend?"
"I..." what.
That halted me in my tracks. I turned around very slowly to glare at a very amused looking Ash.
"You have my necklace." it was not a question. I was sure that he was referring to Ethan as the 'banana head' and I did not find that amusing. It was sick.
And suddenly I could feel the panic rising in me.
'I-I killed him. I did it. I killed my best friend..... No, my boyfriend. I killed my boyfriend. I am to blame.'
'If only I had loved him back instead of breaking up with him he would never have been in that damned car.'
With these thoughts, I started shaking violently. It had not happened in such a long time, I hadn't had such panic attacks since we moved here. I could feel my breaths coming short now. Ow, I felt that jolt in my chest. It hurts.
Seeing this Ash's smirk went away. He got to my side in two strides. And put both his hands on my shoulders.
I was hyperventilating. I just had to let this pass.
"What the hell. Kitty you don't have to tell," he said panic clear on his face.
"Yo dude calm down. What is happening?" he was so serious now.
He took out the necklace from his pocket and put it in my hand.
"Here take it. Just calm down." but that was the last straw in my full-on panic attack.
I saw the necklace and the tears that I had held back somehow just started falling out. Ash firmly took hold of my chin and made me look into his eyes.
His deep green eyes. So green that I could lose myself in them. But it hurt again.
"Tell me what to do," he asked me firmly.
I couldn't. I opened my mouth to tell him that he couldn't do anything for me. But nothing came out. I just stared at him, shaking uncontrollably and crying my fucking eyes out.
He hugged me. He hugged me so tight that it felt like my bones would shatter. My arms were pinned down at my sides and my face buried in his chest. The pressure felt good, like I was not going to fall apart after all. His scent calmed me down. And I started sobbing.
When I was relatively quite he released me and took the necklace from my hand and clasped it around my neck. His hands lingered near my neck. And then he pulled away completely. Breaking out of whatever trance I was in I noticed that I was not shaking after all.
I hadn't even felt the panic leaving me.
I was calm.
