The bathroom seemed like the only comforting place right now, I badged in and locked the doors. I sat near the full length mirror and started sobbing, I really don't know why but I felt hurt! Disappointed! And most of all I felt like a fool. I dug into my bag to get some tissue which I used to remove my now smudged makeup, I bet I looked like a clown. I stayed there a few minutes till I heard a knock on the door, I held my tears and mustered the strength to stand and walked through the door.
Chris was the one knocking. He was leaning near the door waiting, I didn't realize he followed me. I walked past him not even glancing behind, I wanted to be alone. He grabbed my elbow slowing me down and spinning me to turn facing him, we stood not muttering a word just there staring at each other.
"What's wrong Christal?" He asked. I just couldn't response. "Please answer me, I might be of help." He continued. Still I said nothing. He came closer inches away from me leaning in to kiss me but I couldn't allow him, even if he was aiming for my cheek. Blood started pumping and my hands automatically slapped him across the face.
He jumped back totally surprised. "Why did you slap me?"
I watched him straight in the eyes saying "Because you're a foolish jerk, I hate you! No i hate me for thinking so high of you! Gosh! Don't ever speak to me again."
"What did I do?" He asked. I didn't respond I stormed through the hall and out the school premises.
Since mom was not home and would not have been home for hours I decided to walk around the city. I visited different spots that made me happy and did a little shopping, I decided to walk back home so I would have some thinking time. Unfortunately my mind was to far I didn't realise it began to rain, I was in heels, I did not have an umbrella or a coat, I was dripping.
Out of nowhere I heard a honk. I turned my head and I could not be more happy it was my neighbour who also attends the same school, I hopped in and thanked him. He asked what was wrong but I told him I didn't want to talk about it, so instead he changed the topic and we soon arrived home.
I got out of the car and ran over to my house, to my surprise Chris was waiting on the front porch.
"What do want?" I ask aggravated.
"I should be the one who is angry with you." He barked.
"Oh really, did I kiss anybody and have lipstick stains?" I responded.
"Wait! What?" He asked surprised.
"I saw it. You had the lipstick stain on your lip when you came to class!"
Shit! He cursed. "I'm sorry, after the way you treated me last night, I thought you hated me and you've proven it today when you slapped me. Good-bye. I shall leave you alone like you requested."
With that he walked to his car and left.
I was so speechless!
