Something Changed
Flashback
In class the following Wednesday I couldn't shake Saturday night out of my mind. The way Harry spoke to me was unreal. I only dreamed about this sort of thing. Never had I thought that I would actually meet a boy who shared so many similar interests as me. My thoughts were interrupted by Karinas laughter.
"Haha like I can't believe people are saying he'd go out with her I mean what a joke, right" is what she said while peering in my direction a few times making sure I took notice. Karina. The bitch who's been on my ass ever since 8th grade. What did I ever do to her? Nothing. Yet she insisted on trying to make my life hell. I quietly looked down trying to block out the sound of her voice, but she raised it higher.
"Harry would never like a girl like that. So scrawny and never says a word. I doubt she's even got a brain in that pretty little head of hers. I use the term pretty lightly" she snickered my way.
I wasn't about to make a scene in front of the class. Only a few times in my life has anyone ever pushed me so far as to give them a peace of my mind and normally it stopped right after. But I already tried making peace with karina sophomore year. Doubt she'd want to now. Plus why would I even think about giving her a second chance after she turned all my friends against me.
*****FLASHBACK*****
"That was so much fun" my friend Alyssa had shouted after sitting down in the food court waiting for her sandwich.
"Yeah, I can't believe you said that to the guy at Abercrombie" I said laughing.
"we'll he looked darn good. He was asking for it."
Beep beeeeep.
"Who's that?"
"Oh just Bethany" I responded. Bethany had been friends with me ever since first grade. I considered her as one of my best friends, theres only three in my life: my sister, Bethany, and kalani who I didnt see on a regular basis besides school but I still considered her as one.
My mouth dropped open as I read the text.
"Look, we can't be friends anymore. I know what you said about Heidi. she is not a slut or a bossy bitch. If anyone's a bitch it's you. And your mom is so fucking stupid for talking about me and Heidi."
I stared at the text unable to function.
Alyssa noticed my state and asked what was wrong.
"I-I" is all I could manage.
I started texting back as fast as possible with anger, tears, and fear in my eyes afraid I would lose my best friend.
"what are you talking about? My mother is not an idiot and I never called Heidi a slut!! We need to talk face to face" is what I typed hoping she'd understand.
Beep beeeeeep.
"yes you did I know it!! You ARE a bitch because everytime we want to do something you can't come along or you'll try and make us stop and good job to your mom for making fun of kids. Good job." she replied.
"what the hell! My mother is a wonderful woman and I hope to be just like her actually!! She would never say anything about you guys other than comment on an outfit one time. And I never called Heidi a slut! Al I ever said was her shirt looked too low and she never gives a rats ass about my opinion anyways. And if anyone is bossy here it's Heidi because she makes me do things I don't want to do! I have rights you know" I typed on the phone throwing all my decency out the window. I wasn't going to let anyone talk about my mother. They don't know her like I do.
The texting went back and forth a couple minutes before Heidi came in as well. Obviously they were together. If anyone was stabbing anyone in the back it was them. How could this be happening? How could they say these things? I finally gave into Alyssa begging to know what was going on so I gave her the phone. She looked dumbfounded as she read through the texts not saying much at all except for "don't worry it will all be okay I'm sure this is just Bethany you know? Everything will go back to normal." I pondered this for a second and thought about all the little fights that occurred between us and how I was always the one to say sorry first because I couldn't stand being mad at my best friend, but this time was different.
"I don't know" I replied back.
*****END OF FLASHBACK*****
I sat at my desk with my head down desperately trying to hide the tears filling my eyes. Why was it so hard for me to simply brush karinas comments aside? So many thoughts were seeking room inside my head. I just wanted to crawl under my desk and disappear.
Free of worry and free of pain.
