Chapter 18

I look Greg in the eyes waiting for him to say something. Greg says after a few minutes of silence "I knew I couldn't tell you that I'm sorry at school, so this is my chance."

I shake my head disappointingly while saying "ooh so this is when you want to apologize."

He starts moving around the small changing room while saying "yeah Vanessa I made a mistake early in the morning and I wanna apologize for it."

I bite my teeth angrily then unknowingly shout "so you wanna apologize for involving my father in our conversation or for feeling pity for me!"

Greg walks up to me then looks me in the eyes. I fold my arms then continue saying "choose Greg." Then give him a fake smile.

Before Greg could speak someone knocks on the changing room door then asks "hmmm Vanessa are you okay in there?"

I'm shaking to the core because it's Miss Joanna's voice. Greg looks nervous and afraid because if his caught in here he'll be in big trouble.

I say nervously "I'm okay madam don't worry."
She says "okay you screamed so thought you were in trouble."

Greg is looking at me so afraid and I smile because he looks funny. I say "I'm fine thanks."

She doesn't respond after a few minutes so maybe she's gone. Greg release a hot breath and i say "make it quick I will be late."

He says "I made a mistake involving your father in our argument earlier and I'm so sorry for that."

Okay but he looks sincere guys. No Vanessa you're not gonna forgive him easily, you'll make him beg a little.

I say looking away from Greg "okay Greg you may leave now." Greg looks confused.

He holds my shoulder then asks "do you forgive me or do you not?" I quickly remove his hand away from my shoulder then say "I don't know, I'm confused Greg I'm not sure if I'll forgive you for what you said. I told you a lot of things about my dad and I and as a friend you're not supposed to talk about it when you're angry."

He shakes his head looking sad then says "I know that's why I'm apologizing."

I say while swallowing my saliva but not my pride, "you should go Greg and I'll come pack up my bags after school. I've found an apartment that I'll be staying in until I find a permanent place. Thanks for your help though I was burden to you. Now you're free from me Greg."

He looks sad, he walks towards the door then opens it and walks out.

Why do I feel so sad about all this?

Ever since I met Greg nothings been going well in my life and I've had a bunch of mixed unexplainable emotions.

I head to physical fitness class and it is hectic and tiring. Miss Joanna teaches us some rules in volleyball and also made us exercise for 1 hour straight.

Barbie couldn't stop giving me her hostile glare and I swear it was irritating. After physical fitness class we knocked off.

I immediately changed to my normal clothes and immediately decided to leave school.

I'm going to the hotel to get all my stuff and hopefully I'll find a motel. I lied to Greg that I have found an apartment.

I leave school through the huge gate and since there are no taxes or buses I start walking. My body hurts from all the exercises and now I have to walk can my life get any worse.

Suddenly, a truck that kinda looks like Greg's pulls up right next to me. I look through the window and it's Greg. My life just got worser, can this boy just stay the fuck away from me.

He says frankly "get in." I stare at him while shaking my head and ask "are you following me?"
He smiles and replies "maybe yes or maybe no." 

"That's a very stupid answer Greg."

He says "okay fine I know you're leaving today but I'll give you one last ride to the hotel and I'll never ever give you a ride again."

I look at him quietly for a while contemplating whether I should or shouldn't go with him.

I ask raising an eyebrow "promise you will never even look at me after this ride with you?"

He replies instantly "yeah I promise this is the last ride you'll have with me and I'll never look at you again."

I smile softly then node my head and head towards the passengers sit door and hop in the truck. Greg as a huge smile on his face, he looks at me then says "you'll never forget this."

I'm very confused now, aren't we going to the hotel so how will I not forget this. I ask confused "forget what?" He doesn't reply and starts the truck then drives off leaving me In confusion.

Just when I was planning on leaving Greg I land right back to him.....
