*Ara's POV*
I hate it here. I have never sat in so much silence before. I normally like Biology but today it just ain't it.
"So pick your partners carefully! It much be a group of three!" Ms. Greenslade yelled over the crowd of students talking. We doing a project? On what?! I wasn't listening!
"So... what is this project about?" I asked and Riah finally looked over at me. Jesus christ someone please cut the tension cause I can't. Jordan went to the bathroom a while ago which I'm grateful for because it was hard not making eye contact with him. However, he's been gone a while.
"Is something bothering you?" Riah asked and I sighed.
"No. I just zoned out for a minute."
"But you're always listening even when you're not listening. Something has to be bothering you."
"Nothing's bothering me okay, so just tell me what the project's about." She frowned.
"You have to pick any topic in Bio and write a research paper then set up a presentation to reteach it to the class." I nodded.
"Thank you. I'll be right back." I got up and left for the bathroom. I used the bathroom and started to head back down the hall to class but then I remembered that I left my rings in the bathroom... Great!
I walked back to the bathroom claiming my rings and hopefully making back to class this time. I took a left then out of no where I heard a giggle, my worst mistake was looking in that direction.
"Figlio di puttana-" I cursed. "In the hallway?!" I basically yelled at them.
"Are you joining or not princess?" Jordan asked and I rolled my eyes. "I'm kinda getting tired of this one." She chuckled and he smirked. WHY AM I STILL STANDING HERE?!
"No I'm not!-That is disturbing," I began to walk away.
I seriously hate it here!!
"You're no fun... See you at lunch then." I rolled my eyes again. Our father who art in heaven, I swear on thy name that if this boy don't keep his dick in his pants someone will cut it off.
Now I'm scarred for life because he can't go a few hours without some form of sexual contact.
I walked into class and sat down.
"So me, you and the fuck boy?" Mariah asked regarding the project. I nodded probably regretting this decision, I don't wanna be around him for too long, we still haven't really talked in weeks and I'm not even gonna get into that situation today.
"You do know you can tell me anything right? I'm still your friend Ara and I love you no matter what." I sighed.
"Why are you telling me that? I know that Riah."
"I don't think you do. I know there are things that are bothering you, but what I don't understand is why you won't confide in me. Every time you had a problem in the past you came to me, you talked to me, you trusted me, so why is now so different?"
"You want me to CONFIDE in you and TRUST you?" I scoffed.
"Yes. When have I ever made it hard for you to trust and confided in me? We tell each other everything-"
"When have I ever made it hard for y-" I chuckled. "Well maybe I just don't wanna talk about it Riah." I changed the direction of the conversation.
"Bullshit. Why are you being like this all of a sudden? As the days go on we text less, we call less, you even avoid conversations with me and I just sit here wondering; what did I do so wrong?" Tears began to form in my eyes and I covered my face with my hands. It's not because I'm upset, or sad, it's because I'm so frustrated and conflicted at how she could say all of this shit about confiding and trusting her but she doesn't confide in me enough to tell me that she and my brother are dating. Am I really that bad? I know I could be a shitty person sometimes but I can't be this bad.
