Mischief

eight

Sasha Morbin

—

You could say that I'm angry. In fact, I'm enraged. He had a girlfriend this entire time and didn't even bother to tell me.

I feel guilty. I feel used and like I just betrayed someone. In this case, I'm practically the other woman.

—

"Hi love." He whispers in my ear. "Hi." I send a faint smile. "What's up." He smirks. "Nothing much, just reading that's all." I look down.

"So." "I was wondering if you wanted to go with me when we all can go back to the shops." "There's a bookstore downtown I'd love to show you."

I look into his eyes. Nothing about them seem to show lies. It's all so confusing. How he's kept it going on like this for so long and somehow, his poor girlfriend doesn't even know.

"I- I can't, um Morgan and Sasha already offered." I smile. I check my watch and see that dinner is almost ready.

"I should get going Felix." I stand up from the bench, putting my book away into the leather bag. "See you later." I murmur, walking away.

But he stops me. "Wait." He whispers with a hand on my shoulder. I turn around and just as I do, he kisses me.

His hand caress's my cheek and his tongue starts to slip in.

I pull away suddenly. "We- we should stop." I breathe. He looks back into my eyes and holds my chin. "What, why?"

"Why.. why would you kiss me?" I start to pull away from his touch.

"Why wouldn't I?" He states back. I scoff. He really is showing his true colors. "Well.." "Are you.. or are you not in a relationship, Felix?"

—

There's a long pause. Seconds feel like eternity before he speaks up. "I-.. yes." He whispers, looking down.

"Why would you do that?" I say calmly. "You can't just lead someone on while being serious with another."

"I know it's just-." "No." I interrupt him. "Not only have you been cheating on your girlfriend but you treated me like some kind of object." I fire back, getting slightly angrier.

"I don't think we should talk anymore." I simply state before walking away.

—

I miss him. I'll admit that. I know it's wrong. Wanting to go back to a liar but he's always had this eerie affect on me.

I've felt myself just wanting to go up to him. To hug him. To kiss him. To just have a talk and go back to old times. But I can't do that, because he'll always be mischief in the end.

—

I've made a lot more friends this year than I did previously. Maybe it's because I'm used to my surroundings and the types of people at Domesdale but in other words, it's always nice to be around people you get along with.

This weekend, the staff are going to let us go downtown again. Every other week, they let all the students take the train to the village. There, we all get to do things such as shopping, eat out and get a break from school.

I'm planning on going with two or three friends. For once in my life, I'm actually under going lots of stress. I try to keep calm and figure things out but the whole Felix thing and school work gets to my head very often.

I just want to let go for a bit.

—

"First stop to where?" Morgan asks. "Well Delilah's of course." I smirk. "Carry the lead then." She rolls her eyes while laughing.

"It's a cute place." I whine. "Like vintage and warm." I smile while sighing. That's another thing that reminds me of him. At this point, everything does.

The bells chime as we walk through the door of Delilah's. The aroma of fire wood and sugar cookies fill my nose. "Let's find a table." Sasha requests. We two nod, following her steps towards the sitting areas in the small cafe.

"So how are you guys doing?" Sasha asks. "We haven't talked in a bit." She laughs. "We're doing fine actually, thank you Sasha." We laugh along with her.

"I heard about your little run in." She frowns. I raise my eyebrow slightly, not knowing what she was talking about. Then it hits me again. "Ohh." "Yeah, that was nothing." I chuckle. "I think I'll be able to take it the right way." I smile. "Honestly, I'm treating like some sort of break up when we only knew each other for two weeks." I laugh, looking down.

"No no, you have the right to be angry." "Whoever this boy is, he's a complete asshole." She smiles. "Your right." My lips turn into a smile.

"Are you ladies ready to order." The waitress pulls out her notepad. "Oh yes we are, thank you." Morgan replies.

"Umm, I'll have one slice of blackberry pie." "And.. just a cup of tea." Sasha smiles, handing the young lady her menu.

"And for you miss?" She gestures towards me. "I'll have the pasta and water please." "Definitely." She smiles, writing down the order.

"And, I'll have two danish's." Morgan says. "Coming right up." She says before leaving.

—

"I love this one." I point out. "Oh that is quite beautiful." Morgan agrees. "Shall I purchase it?" I question the necklace that seems a bit too pricey. "It's up to you, tho I would." "We should go now." "The train leaves in half an hour." She implies.

I decide to buy the piece of jewelry. Following Sasha and Morgan to pay, I put all my wanted items on the counter. "Twenty-three pounds is your total." The man says. Each of us hand in our equal share of money.

"Thank you." I smile before we all walk out. "Today's been lovely." Sasha says. "Indeed." I laugh. "I forget about every problem going on at the moment." "Just like I planned."

We all three continue to make our way through the village and towards the train station. Many others follow, as the train will be going soon.

"I'll have to be going now girls." Sasha says, hugging us. "Today was splendid though, hanging out with you two is always a pleasure." She smiles.

"Well hopefully we can do this again, Sash." I chuckle. "Who are you boarding with?"

"Funny you ask, my boyfriend and I were going to leave soon." "Oh there he is now." She smiles towards the boy coming our way. "Felix love, finally you came."
