"Stop using me"
I laughed at what he said and looked at my swinging feet. I grabbed onto the railing that is the only thing that's preventing me from falling. I looked back at him and saw him standing there with his hands on his pockets looking effortlessly breathtaking.
"What are you talking about?"
"I mean it. I know why you're doing this. You've always felt rejected. Even before. Stop using me to change that. You don't need me to be better."
I sighed and looked back down, students roaming around. Ipinagpag ko ang parehas na kamay at tumayo. I stood in front of him and sighed. Tiningnan ko ang kaniyang umiigting na panga and I had this urge to touch them. But before I could, I heard him say the words that always made me freeze and blink.
"You're just an outcast, Georginna"
I was stunned. Frozen in my place. No one's ever called me that in years. Before I find myself crawling into that dark insecurity corner in my head, I shook my head and laughed lightly, which seemed to have shocked him.
"Well, I've known that fact since I was little. What would change if you say it to me still?" I looked him in the eye and raised my hand, feeling the slight stubbles in his jaw "But this outcast managed to catch your attention. At least you didn't just see and walk past me. It's an achievement"
