I toss my last beer bottle in the grass. I watch it thud and roll until it stops. The porch steps are getting colder under my ass every second longer I stay outside. Winter is coming and this semester is almost over. Tomorrow will be my last game. For good. Colton has no fucking clue about me or about my academic standing. He's never around to talk to anymore. If he was around, he could have helped me study. If he only knew his friend.. fuck. I toss my head back fighting tears. You're not a fucking pussy, suck it up. I push myself off the steps and head back into the house. My feet feel heavy going up the stairs and I see Colton's door is shut. I shake my head in frustration and walk into my room next to his.
My room doesn't look like my room anymore. Everything's packed. The only thing left out is my soccer uniform. Ready to be worn one last time. I walk towards the wall that separates my room from Colton. I lean my forehead against it. It's cool and hard against my skin. It's taking everything in me not to repeatedly hit my head against this fucking wall. You're a fucking failure.
That's when I hear him.
I open my eyes and focus on the wall. I turn my head and press my ear against the wall. It's muffled, but I can hear him. Why the fuck isn't he asleep?
"What I'm here to present to you is my senior project.." the fucker is practicing his presentation? Now?! "..Remi.." wait-what?
Did he just say Remi? I press my ear even harder. "Her depression is presented in these files- no I can't say names that's not professional.... patient R... Patient Zero has been listening to love songs.. this experiment has helped their depression..."
I step away from the wall. No fucking way.
A smile grows on my face.
Remi has depression and Colton has been using an experiment on her. No fucking way does Remi know about this. Even I know that she respects herself enough than to be a subject in anyone's eyes.
I grab my phone and find Kelsey's number.
You want to ruin Colton and Remi?
I press send and wait standing there. She replies in minutes.
This should be fun..
I start texting away my plan.
