Explaining to Rebecca

The pain I was feeling was awful. To know to you did nothing wrong, but everyone around you thinks you did. I turn and look at everyone looking at me with tears in my eyes. I thought I was in a dark room where you could see everyone's eyes looking at you, making you feel scared and uncomfortable.

I hurry to the bathroom, find a stall that was empty and stayed there and cry my eyes out. "Who would make stuffs up like that? I don't even like no one here! So why would I kiss and hug your boyfriend! I don't even know who is her boyfriend!", I shouted out in the bathroom.

I wish I had said those words to her, but I am too soft to face someone like that. My high school year will be hell if this is the way things will be going.

Ring, ring. After the bell rang, I took my belongings and was about to leave but was blocked by Johnathan at the door.

"I got no money, now leave me alone," I said to him. "Excuse me!", he shouts, pulling my arm. I look into his eyes with fear but manage to shout, "Let me go!" without crying some more.

Then shockingly he said touching my cheeks, "Damn, Rebecca did your face pretty bad,". "Excuse me?", I replied to him.

"Oh, Rebecca is the name of the girl who hit you,". "Are you two friends?", I ask him. "Nope. Something more," he said, winking at me. "Are you worried I might like her since you like me?".

"Johnathan, excuse, please. I got class. I got no money so leave me alone and I don't like you either!", I said pulling my arm away from him then walks off.

"Haha, she is so stupid. I hope my girlfriend deal with her some more,".

As I enter my Geography class, everyone's eyes were on me. I hold my head down not to make eye contact with anyone.

"Rina?", call the teacher. "Yes, sir," I replied. "Please take a seat beside Rebecca,". "Yes, sir,". "Wait, hold up, what! Rebecca!", I scream to myself, looking up at the class.

"Ahm... Sir,". "Yes?". "You... said Rebecca, right?" I ask, worried. "Yes. Is there a problem miss Rina?", he asked. I replied, "No...no sir. I will take my seat now,".

I walk over to the chair beside Rebecca, look at her, then she gave me the signal to stop looking at her. I then let out a loud sigh and take my seat.

Class went on well, but my side of the class was about to get a little messy.

"Students, take out your Geography atlas. We are going to locate the Caribbean on the map,".

I took out my book and place it flat on the table then suddenly sir said to me, "Rina, please share with Rebecca,".

I look beside me then look Rebecca up and down, wondering if a hype girl like her wouldn't have an atlas or sir was speaking about another Rebecca.

"Ahm... stop looking at me like that,". I jump hearing her speak. "I'm sorry. It's just that I was in disbelief at the fact I am sharing with you,".

"Ahm... don't speak to me...,". After she said those words, I became quiet again.

I push over my book to share with her, look at her and gave her a weak smile. She then gave me something in return, her middle finger.

I hold down my head after she showed me that and hope quietly for class to be finished.

Ring, ring. "Okay, students, that's the bell. Please have a great rest of your day,". I took up my book and bag and was ready to run through the classroom door.

"You!", I heard someone shout at me. I turned to look and saw Rebecca sitting on the table and say, "Johnathan is my boyfriend,".

"Excuse me? Johnathan is your boyfriend?", I ask in confusion and a shocked expression. "Yes, did you not know he was taken?". "What the hell now!", I scream at myself.

"Rebecca, I never know he is your boyfriend. Second, I don't like him," I replied to her. "How are you still denying it? How do you bare it to lie to others?", she asks in anger.

"Rebecca, I won't lie. I have nothing for Johnathan,". "Stop lying to me! Just stop!", she shouts. "I have evidence you did what you did!".

"Oh really, show me!" I shout back at her in anger. She then pulls out her phone and shows me pictures of Johnathan and I together. "Son of bi...!", I shout out in disbelief.

Rebecca then looks at me in confusion, wondering why I shout out those words. "Rebecca, those pictures are wrong," I said calmly to her.

"Those pictures have wrong meaning,". "What you mean have wrong meaning?", she asks in confusion.

"That day Johnathan was playing basketball, I was just watching they play. He spotted me watching and I run back to where I was from begin,".

"Wait, wait. Why would you run?", she asks. "Because, Johnathan has been picking on me, so I run from him then...". "Wait, stop. Explain the pictures now,". "After I ran away, he came, and I wasn't in the mood to speak to him, then shockingly he ask me for a hug. It confused me why he wanted a hug but I still hug him then he whispers he knows I like him. I hit him in his face and told him I don't like him. He then got angry. I stepped back from him, which lead to him to being in front of me with the car behind me,".

"So all of this is exactly what happened?". "Yes, no lies, I promise,". "Okay, I will find more about this situation," she said, getting up from off the table and walking out of the class.

"She is weird. I wonder how long she and Johnathan been together? What am I saying! Still, I wonder who made up those rumors," I spoke to myself softly before heading to the cafeteria for lunch.
