.Mike is his name, right?” Jason pressed.“That’s none of your business,” I growled, taking deeper breaths with every word he spoke.“If I was your man I wouldn’t leave you.Every day I would be there to make you smile and every night I would do the same,” he cooed, winking on the last part.“Thanks but no thanks.”“Oh, come on.You’re breaking my heart,” he said adding dramatization by placing his hands on top of his heart and clutching.“And I’m gonna break a whole lot more if you don’t leave me alone,” I turned to full-face to him as I spoke his fate to ensure he saw the fire in my eyes.I needed to calm down though.I felt the serum rising in my throat, the blazing heat surrounding my teeth as they continued to push my buttons.I glanced at the clock just as a sub walked in the door and the final bell rang.I turned back around to a worried Mel.I sighed, “It’s okay.I’m not going to lose it, but I think I am going to leave.My parents were right.I should have waited longer.”“You sure?” she asked, a sympathetic look smeared over her.“Yea.I’ll call you.”“Okay.”I grabbed my book bag and made my way to the tiny shriveled woman dubbed our substitute teacher.A few whistles erupted behind me from random classmates on the way.“Yes?” she prompted.I waited until she looked at me directly before unleashing the glamour Kellan taught me how to do.I placed my back to the class and peered directly into her eyes; a powerful glare so chilling you’re cringing to look away but can’t.“I need to leave.Alexa Jackson.You can mark I was present in the book.”“Okay,” she said through a small, distracted voice.The moment I unlocked my gaze she cleared her throat and adjusted herself as if to regain control.I didn’t wait around for her results.I didn’t hesitate.I raced to my car and just as quickly I jetted out the parking lot towards the airport.I’d rather sit in their parking lot than this one.The moment I reached the interstate I plugged in Kellan’s iPod and hit play.The music blasted in the background as I broke down.You would think an immortal that’s invincible to death would also be to stress.That is definitely not the case.I felt the tears build and stream as I reflected the last twenty-four hours.I already felt like my heart was breaking, cracking and crumbling every second I was away from him on these terms.But when you added in the excessive harassment and speculation at school, it pushed me over.And Jason’s little scene was the cherry topper.At one time I secretly coveted popularity never actually believing it to manifest.And now that it has, it’s the opposite of all I envisioned.Before I believed there were people who didn’t hold to society’s model standards, who accepted you as you were without favoritism or judgment.Today I discovered the only person at Cooper River High who practiced that was Mel.Everyone else looked at, spoke to and treated me different than before; even the teachers.It’s not right.But all of that was bearable, would have been bearable, if I had Kellan.I was so hurt by his attitude towards the situation.He didn’t ask or give me the opportunity to explain; he assumed.Not only did he assume the worst from me but he’s ignoring me completely, especially by skipping school.I would have trusted him enough to have provided him a chance to explain were the roles reversed.And it was because of his ignorance that I endured the terror at school today.Had he been on my arm I never would have been hounded and treated like a piece of meat.I was borderline angry with him for leaving the way he did but dominantly a broken mess of tears.I’d been strong, held myself together on hope of reconciliation as soon as he saw Craig, but this was my wake up call.This was what I was to endure ongoing should he walk away forever.Overwhelmed by it all, I tried to shut down my mind and simply drive.I ignored the road, bypassed the signs without a glance and focused solely on keeping my foot on the gas pedal.But it didn’t help.I pulled into the airport lot.I punched the meter machine for a ticket and waited for the bar to lift and grant me entry.I parked in the first available spot and placed the car in idle.I sat motionless for no set time simply listening to the commotion of giddy travelers matched equally in number of exhausted passengers.Though few whole thoughts formed properly in my head I was still conscious in a pensive state.I attempted to ignore the world in this present time.I sunk into a solemn with no emotional inclinations whatsoever [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
