•Kylie
“ You are gay ?” I asked, thinking I did not hear clearly. She nodded her head and guess what I...
I laughed.
My body shook with laughter as I clutch my stomach. I was laughing so hard that water was coming out from my eyes. When I saw her eyebrows brought together making her forehead wrinkled, I forced myself to stop.
“ Laugh all you want, I don't care about what anyone thinks about my sexuality, I don't freaking care.”
I chuckled, “ I was not laughing at you being a gay, okay maybe I'm laughing at that but I'm definitely not holding anything about gay people. It is just that I find it very hard to believe you are a lesbian, Bitchy Medusa is lesbian.” She scowled at me. “ That is really so... I don't believe you.” I told her blankly.
Her nose scrunched up as she asked, “ Why don't you believe me ?”
I rubbed my chin pretending to be thinking, “ Why don't I believe you ? A funny question to ask.” I laughed. “ well you made it very clear that you love Ashton and tried to destroyed my life. So why should I believe you ?”
“ I know it is very hard but I'm telling you the truth, I won't say something that could affect my life. And besides I did not do anything harmful to you.”
I rolled my eyes. “ Please don't be ignorant to everything I said. I said TRIED, you tried to destroy my life.”
“ What did I even do ? I only tried to expose your real face. You and I know that your face is caked with makeup.” She twitched her lips saying.
“ Well yeah... that is what I mean by destroying my life.” I told her as a matter of fact.
She gasped, “ Wait, are you truly saying you are hiding your facial identity ?”
“ Ye...no.” I chuckled nervously, “ Why would I do that ? There is no reason for me hiding my face, this is my real.” Lies. I hope she does not see through my lie. I think she did.
“ I'm just going to let that slide.”
Phew! Thank God she left it.
Right now we are in the school's swimming pool, she can push me inside if I'm not careful. Even if she said she does not love Ashton, I don't still trust her.
“ Yeah you should do that, we are talking about you not me.” I said, chuckling.
She shaked her head with a smile. “ Anyways I want to apologize for every bad deeds I did to you, I did not have any other option than to do that. If my father find out that Ashton is in love with somebody, he will punish me terribly and he will take me away from the school separating me from...”
“ Vivian.” I completed.
She gave me a tight-lipped smile, “ Yes, I love Vivian so much that I can not let anyone know about it, just to protect her.”
I snorted out a laugh. “ Or you are protecting your reputation, I might not know who your father is but I'm sure you are scared of him that is why you do not want to tell him not to protect her, maybe to protect her but your aim is to protect yourself.”
Her eyes glistening with tears, she said. “ What do you want me to do ? My father is always concern about what the society think about him well I do too. Where I come from,you have to keep yourself up high, don't make any mistakes. That is what my father says. Loving Vivian is a flaw.”
And she said she loves her, if she thinks like that then she is not in love with Vivian.
“ You are selfish, really selfish. If you truly love Vivian you won't be thinking like this. Love is supposed to be a risk Mel,” I move closer to her, raised my hands to her face wiping her tears. “ If you truly love her, you won't be bothered about what the society think, what they think about you. Worrying about what people think about you, will never make you happy but make you feel pressurized. Have the thought that they are not God, they don't have the right to judge you. Their words are ordinary but you are just counting it as something powerful. Trust me when you act unaffected, they will be force to leave you Mel. If you feel you loving her is a flaw, then leave her. Stop giving her hope to be with someone that will truly be proud of her love, be proud of who she is, be proud of who you are. Your decision is not only affecting you, it is affecting her also.”
Her body vibrating as she sob, tears flowing down to her cheeks. I patted her shoulder comforting her.
And that was awkward.
If anyone tells me that Mel is gay or we will be talking like this. I will call that person a liar.
“ I'm really sorry, you have to see me like this.” She laughed in tears. “ I just wanted to apologize so I can be at peace with myself and warn you.”
I got confused, “ Warn me ?”
“ I know you are not going to believe me, but Cami is not really who you think she is. She actually schemed the whole plan. She is against your relationship with Ashton, she is very dangerous. Our world is Kylie, I really wish I could tell you but I can't. But just be careful with her.”
“ Okay, I will.” I nodded my head with a smile.
“ You really believe me ?” She was surprised.
Could Camille really planned with Mel ? I know it is very hard to believe though, but I've been noticing Cami. She has been giving me cold shoulders ever since I knew her. I have also been noticing the countless glances she has been giving Ashton during lunch. I know she likes Ashton but would that be enough to plan evil. Not sure, you can not know just by looking at someone.
But...
“ Someone once told me that you don't lie even if you acts like a both, you are a truthful bitch.”
“ Thanks for the awkward compliment.” She laughed making me join her. “ An insult slash compliment.”
I smiled at her, she returned it. “ Anyways...byeeee... and please do think about what you truly want.” I told her as I walk away, going out of the place.
Then my phone dinged in my bag.
Pulling down my bag, I opened it bringing out my phone. I checked it was a message from Bob.
It reads “ We need a song ASAP!!!”
Must I only received messages from Bob ? I huffed returning my phone back inside my bag. I dragged my bag grumbling as I went out.
I wonder what kind of work he has installed for me.

“ Hey.” I felt an arm wrapping my waist from behind slowly, I shrilled, jumping out of fright which led me to banged my head on my locker. It hurts like shit.
“ My head!” I cried out massaging my head, I could feel a bump on my forehead. My beautiful forehead.
“ I'm so sorry, it was supposed to be romantic.” I turned to glare at Ashton who was bitting his bottom lip, looking sorry.
“ Why on earth will you even do that ?!” My head is starting to throb.
“ I just wanted to... I see that during movies, I forced myself to watch rom-com movies so I can know how to be romantic.” He looked down at his fingers, fiddling with it.
He looks so cute.
“ I thought after the kiss we shared, we were something special.” He looked up at me expecting a statement from me.
I exhaled, not knowing how to respond. “ Are we really ?”
“ If you want us to be, we will be.”
Do I really want us to be in a relationship ? I don't know, I'm not sure. I really need time to think. We were fighting before, now...don't even know what we are. I'm so confused.
I can't say anything, any words that come out from my mouth it is going to change the both of us entirely.
So I did what I know what is best at that moment.
I turned around shutting the locker, I picked up my bag then sling it over my shoulder. I sighed then walk away.
I heard him calling my name but I forced my body not to turn to him. Everyone that was in the hallways were all staring at me. Hearing his footsteps towards me, I hasten my steps.
Thankfully, I saw Kelly going out, covering his ears with an headset walking coolly. If I call his name, he will not hear so I increased my pace to meet him.
I slid my hand into him causing him to flinch as he looked at me, using the other hand to pull down his headset. His face scrunched up confusion.
“ Uhm...hi ?” He said awkwardly.
I know he does not talk to Kylie but right now I don't care.
“ Please just take me away from Ashton.” I pleaded.
“ Why should...” His voice trailed off, as his head turned then he turn to me. “ What happened between you and Ashton ?”
“ Not...” My hand got yanked away from Kelly's, then I felt a warm soft hand on mine.
I knew it was Ashton.
I looked down on the floor not wanting to look at him.
“ Kylie you can just walk away from our situation, we need to talk.”
“ I don't want to talk.” I muttered silently. Not sure if any of them heard it.
Kelly spoke, “ I don't know what is going on between the both of you but Ashton you need to give her time and space to think first.” Thank you Kel.
Ashton heavily sigh, ignoring Kelly he said to me “ Kylie, we can't just keep ignoring ourselves anytime something happen. Please let's talk.” I felt my hand being squeezed by his softly, begging me to answer
“Just let her be for now. Tommorow you two can talk.” Kelly said.
“ No, now.” Ashton insisted.
“ Brother...leave her hand alone and let her go, you will talk to her. If you don't leave her, you won't like what I will do to you.” Kelly threatened him but he pay no heed.
“ I don't care what you will do brother, if we should fight here and now. I don't care, I will fight. Because her attention is worth fighting for, I don't care if after the fight, I find myself being in hospital. It was totally worth it.” Hearing that, I raised up my head and my gaze met with blue enticing eyes, making me feel like I'm swimming in an ocean, enjoying the moment.
A smile crawled it's way onto his lips, “ She is worth everything I do.” He said breathlessly making me smile. I felt like giggling like a five year old girl who they just give a chocolate.
“ I understand Ashton but she needs time.”
As Ashton was about to opened his mouth, I squeezed his hand making his attention on me. “ I understand you want us to talk but I'm not ready yet. I don't want to say something that could jeopardize our friendship, I need time to think. Please do give me.” My eyes glistening in tears as I told him.
He gave me a sad smile. “ I hope we will talk tomorrow.”
“ I hope so.” I said, I wanted to say ‘yes we will’ but I am not sure I have the courage to do so.
He nodded his head pulling my hands away from him, he adjusted his bag on his shoulder and walk away.
It felt heartbreaking...
“ So where are we going ?” I asked turning to face him.
“ Uh? We are going to our various houses.” He replied.
“ Please I need something to clear my mind, please let's go out.” I took his hand, swinging it back and forth. “ Please...” I pleaded.
“ But...”
“ Please...”
“ Okay fine if Ashton thinks we went on a date, it is all on you.”
I rolled my eyes before speaking. “ Well he is smart enough to reason that it is not a date. He is not dumb.”
Kelly inhale sharply leaning closer to me, he said “ Your boyfriend is really dumb. He can think that you like me.”
“ Hey!” I hit his chest, feeling offended he said such thing about Ashton.
He laughed, “ For someone who does not want to talk to him, you seem protective over him.” He teased.
I could feel my face heating. “ I just need to think first.”
Kelly chuckled. “Okayyy...” he drawled out, “ So where should we go ?”
“ Anywhere you want to.” I replied.
“ I don't know California well, please do take us there.” He said in a posh accent.
“ Neither do I. I don't know it well.” I answered chuckling. “ Well anywhere our legs take us to, we will go.”
He smiled, “ Sounds like a good idea.”
