The Two Sides Of Love

Chapter 8

Bold

I had decided that I would not be intimidated or dominated, I was going to be myself, and give that sonofabitch a piece of my mind.

I walked into school with a new sense of confidence that Wednesday morning. I had wore my old jeans, a rock band t-shirt, and I packed my hair and wore a cap, complete tom-boy look. I put a little mascara and lip gloss, wasn't planning on being mistaken for a boy.

"Whoo! See who's looking like herself today." Kyle whistled as I walked over to my friends. "By herself, you mean boyish." Gwen pointed out. "Just because I like to dress a little bit boyish-" I started. "You mean like a female thug?" Paige interrupted.  I glared at her for a few seconds. "No, I just have a taste in boyish clothes. That doesnt make me a tom-boy." I pointed out defensively. "Sure, whatever let's you sleep at night." Trevor snickered.

After a few minutes of mindless chatting, we all went for our classes. Gwen and I had a class together, and I realised that we hadn't talked in a while.

"Okay, what's going on?" She said. "What do you mean?" I asked pretending. "Oh come on, you come to school on monday looking like a babe. Then you're late for cafeteria looking like someone died. You miss school on Tuesday and you don't tell me why. Now today, you come looking like yourself. So something had been going on, behind my back." She said.

"Its complicated." I said. "I thought we were friends, besties infact." She whined. "Okay okay, I was with Zach, like with with him." I said trying to explain without giving too much details. Before she could say anything, the biology teacher looked towards us and said, "Joanne,  Gwendolyn, is there anything you would like to share with the class?"

I gave her a look that said, 'we'll talk later.'

Michael and I had a free period together and we decided to go to the parking lot and sit there and talk. "So how are you coping?" He asked. "You talk like im suffering." I said forcing a smile. He gave a tight smile. "Well I still cant believe you didnt tell me what was going on." He pouted. "He always said we should keep our business to ourselves. I cant believe that I was so stupid to believe him." I whined burying my face in my palms.

"I did try to warn you, didn't I? I told you he's a bad guy, a playboy. I never liked the fact that you were infatuated with him. But since you refused to listen to me, 'cause you thought he's perfect-although im the only perfect person in your life. But I guess now you'll learn the hard way and start listening to me." He grinned. "Perfect my ass." I hit him playfully. "Ouch, dont try to ruin my perfectness you mortal." He pouted. "Sure oh great one." I humored him grinning widely. "Come here, you have the honor to give me a hug." He smiled. I rolled my eyes but hugged him anyway and hugging him gave me a sense of security, letting me know that I have someone to watch my back.

"So what are you going to do now?" He asked after a while. "Gonna give that sonofabitch a piece of my mind, and also his knock-off bracelet. I don't do cheapskates like him." I said matter-of-factly.

During cafeteria, Gwen and I sat together to talk without anyone hearing. I told her every minute detail and she just sat with her mouth hung open. "All this happening and I didnt know? Aw my baby got her heart broken." She said giving me a hug. "Im fine now, decided that I've got better things to do." I said. "That's right, so how about David?" She asked. "We'll see what is in store for me, but for now, I have something to settle first." I smiled. "Oh you're going to show him not to mess with you?" She asked hopefully, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Gwen loved being blunt and telling people the truth. "Something like that." I shrugged.

"Jo, that Harry boy is looking at you." Beth winked playfully. "Oh my gosh that boy is a hottie!" Paige squealed and Mallorie sadly joined her. I looked at Trevor, all he did was stare at her probably wishing that she would squeal over him like that.

Jason came over and stole Gwens attention from me so I was stuck with the others. The boys were arguing about football, while Mallorie and Paige were talking about other boys that were hot.

"I don't get it, why does Jo have fine boys looking at her?" Paige whined. "Exactly, all she has are her cute boobs." Mallorie chipped in while she was talking with Trevor who had gone over to her just to 'talk'. "Well I am a spice." I smiled proudly. "Nah you're garlic." Beth said squeezing her face. I looked at her funny while everyone laughed.

I checked the time, could school end already?

After school, I told my friends to wait for me at the restaurant a few blocks from my school where we usually hang out. I arranged my locker slowly intentionally waiting for Zach to show up. I examined the cheap jewelry box bitterly; why didn't I pay attention?

He came, as presumed trying to look sober. "I can explain-" He started. "Nuh uhn." I wagged my finger. "Im doing the talking here." Then I took a deep breath.

"You, I fucking trusted you, with everything, especially my body. I was supposedly in love, and I couldn't see the bad things in you. And you took advantage of that, playing me like a toy among other girls. What else is there to explain, cats got your tongue?" I was furious.

"Yeah, I know, I didnt have the smallest bit of feelings for you. I still don't, and I dont care. Have you ever seen your boobs before, really pretty things youve got there you know. And gosh you were so naïve and gullible, believing every word. Did you really think I would have feelings for you? Pfft, you were for my play time. Too bad we didn't get to have sex, I wonder how your pussy tastes." He grinned to himself non-chalantally.

"You freaking sonofabitch! You're the biggest mistake I ever made, and I will forever regret it." I said trying to keep myself from breaking down. "You can have it back, so you could decieve another girl. Two dollars, you really did it right. Little wonder you have enough for everybody." I said bittery tossing the box to him.

"I can certainly do better than a cheapskate like you." And with that, I sashayed away.
