The Hate and Love Game

Game #3

CHRESANTO POV

I was standing at my locker on my phone. I wasn't waiting on anyone or anything. I was just checking a few things before leaving the school. And as I was minding my own business, Gabriella walked up to me. I wasn't mad that she was my partner. Only because now I get some one on one time with her. Like, I actually get to see what the fuck is wrong with this girl before I do something. "Do you want her?" She asked holding the doll out. I guess it was a girl. "Nope. Just hit me up in a few weeks when this assignment shit is over." I said not looking at her. "No. You're going to help me." She yelled. "No I'm not." "Yes you are! Look, I'm just trying to help your ass out. If you don't do this with me that's on you. You'd be the one failing your classes and get kicked off your football team. That is not my problem." She was talking like I had a decision but she keeps telling me that I'm going to help. Plus, she was still standing there. "Shut the fuck up, Gabriella." I said laughing at her. "No! You're going to help me." She repeated. Thats when I couldn't control myself. So like I did yesterday, I pinned her up against the lockers but instead of talking back to me, she squealed in pain. "You know sometimes people need to learn how to bite their tonuge." I said. She looked down and tried to get away but my grip only got tighter around her wrists. "Please." She cried looking back up at me. Her eyes were a hazelish color which I never noticed before. That didn't even matter though. Her eyes were hazelish but they were also filled with tears that were destined to fall down her cheeks. Why was she crying? "That hurts me. So please let me go." She begged. That's when I noticed her wrist was bleeding. I didn't even see the gauze around her arm. I quickly let go as she fell to the ground. "Sorry." I said quickly. She didn't say anything though. She just say there crying while holding her wrist and struggling to get up. I was hoping that I wasn't holding on to her so hard to a point where she would just collapse the way she did. Or if she was just putting on a show. It was kind of putting me in a messed up situation. "Gabriella." I said watching her attempt to get up again. Everytime she tried, she'd just fall right back down. She looked helpless to me. So now that I was really scared I did something wrong, I wanted to leave the scene with her so no one would suspect anything if they saw us. Thankfully, no one was even in the same hallway as us. I picked her up bridal style and took her to my car. "What are you doing?" She asked sniffling. "Just sit back and wait. I'm just making sure you're okay." I said starting the car. I was going to take her to my house because my mom is a nurse and all. Hopefully she was home. When we got there, I picked her up the same way and carried her inside. "Shit." I said under my breath. My mom works today. With that being said, I walked to the bathroom with her and gently set her on the counter. "What happened?" I asked unwrapping the gauze around her wrist. I tear fell down her cheek as she wiped it away quickly. "I don't want to talk about it." She responded. I rolled my eyes and began wiping up the fresh blood that was slowly dripping down her arm. I kind of felt bad. I was being a little hard on her today. It sort of made me think about her situation. Like, if I didn't cause all this then what did? What was she dealing with at home? I was being thoughtful for once. But anyway. After I wrapped the new gauze around her wrist, I took her to my room and set her on the bed. I actually didn't mind her being in here. I just never expected her to ever be in here.

GABRIELLA POV

I was a bit uncomfortable. Chresanto never really helped me so it was weird. But I was a little happy he did and thankful. I finally see that he has a heart. A heart I never thought was there inside his cold cold body. "So about the doll." He brought up sitting in his computer chair. Compared to my life, he had it good. His room really described how he was as a person and I liked that. It was very creative around his walls and on his bed. "You're willing to work?" I asked looking at him. I could tell me asking that offended him a little, and he wanted to say something regarding that. But he didn't. "Yeah, I am thank you." He said nodding his head at me. "Great. Well I say we take turns. You get her one day and I get her another day. So every other day." I said. He spinned around in the chair nodding his head. "So who gets it first?" He asked looking at it on the bed. "I think you should. It's the least you could do at least. Especially after--GCO." "Yeah I know and I apologized for that. Can we put that shit behind us? Like, I'm willing to move forward with you, Gabriella." He stated. I looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Look. Whatever we've been arguing about the past few years, I'm done with okay? I don't even think we actually have a reason so I'm going to stop being a little bitchy kid and dead the issue." I nodded my head. I was kind of shocked. Was he really willing to do this for me? For us? "Fine." I said hiding my smile. "That doesn't mean we're friends though. We're cool with each other but I don't want to be your friend." I rolled my eyes. I am not saying I wanted to be his friend because I knew that wasn't going to happen even if he didn't say that. But shit like that is shit you keep to yourself. "Yeah, you made that pretty clear." I said smirking at him. He stopped spinning around and looked at me. "I hope I did." He said. I sighed aloud as a dead silence filled the room. No one was speaking. All I was doing was thinking about what had just happened in the past hour and I think he was doing the same. There is always that look everyone was when they are thinking about something. He had that look on his face. But the beautiful silence did come to an end when the doll started crying. We both jumped a little and ran up to it. "Whats wrong with it?" He asked standing behind me as I picked it up. I rolled my eyes. "I don't know. Maybe she is hungry or something. It's not a thing, Chresanto." I pointed out. He smacked his teeth. "Well maybe if you gave it a name I wouldn't have to call it a it." He said. "Then give her a name." I turned around and looked at him. His eyes were so big and brown. Not to mention his lips. They were pinker than mine and his hair was super curly. The things I never noticed. Oh, and he smelt good. "Whatever. Her name is Kennedy August." He shrugged. That was a nice name. "Cool." The next few hours, me and Chresanto were creating conversations after conversations. Even though he said we couldn't be friends, he sure was acting like one. There was a whole side of him I didn't know existed and it was nice to see a change between us. He did evenutally take him though and I was kind of happy. I just wanted to lay down. "You sure you don't want me to walk you to your door?" He asked opening my door so I could get out. The things he does just to be sure I'm alright. "I'm sure." I said taking a step down landing on my leg. I kind of knew deep down I was stupid for that because I almsot fell. But he caught me. "I'm going to walk you to your door." He said smiling down at me. I smirked and he helped me to the door like he said. "Thanks." I said as he let me go. He nodded. "And are you sure you've Kennedy?" I asked referring to the doll. "Yeah. Just go lay down or something." He said. I rolled my eyes and walked inside. What a day.
