How Original

"Don't you get tired of always repeating yourself? Also don't be so conceited I didn't come here for you." I answered him annoyed. "If anything, why don't you just leave me alone and go on your way? You don't always have to come and talk to me, you know? If anything, do you have a crush on me or something." I say with a grin on my face to annoy him. He glared at me and before he could say anything…

"Hey Luna, it's been awhile. How have you been?" Sally asked so innocently you would think she is picking a fight considering we supposedly hate each other. But unfortunately she's just so dense she never understood the reason we all fell apart. It was all because everyone thought I bullied her.

"Hi Sally, I heard you cried a couple of days ago, are you okay?" I ask with a smile on my face. Since I was accused of being the one who caused it, I want to know why she cried so why not ask right. In the corner of my eyes I see Vincent staring my way, making me self conscious.

"Oh yea I'm fine. I cried because I watched a sad drama and I was telling a friend about it and couldn't stop crying afterwards. The ending was so sad." As she said this she kept glancing at Vincent. While she was talking I just innocently put my hand under my chin and stared at Mark. He looked at Sally and then at me as if surprised that I had nothing to do with it.

"Well I'm glad it's nothing serious. Sally, you had me worried next time let me know beforehand when you watch sad dramas." I still need to get my art supplies so I grab my coffee and get up. "It's good to see you are all doing fine and since I have things to do I'll leave. You guys know I was never a fan of hanging out with crowds. So bye guys." I look at Sally and then at Vincent. "Maybe next time we can talk about the book but for now, It was nice meeting you. Goodbye." I tell Vincent halfheartedly. I really don't want anything to do with them.

Before I take my first step Vincent grabs the book in my arm and then receives the receipt from inside and writes something on it. "This is my number. I'm going to be waiting for you to text me. I'm really curious about you."

I'm in shock no one has ever been this straight forward and interested in me. I then quickly compose myself. "If I have the time I'll try but I can't keep any promises." I say and walk away. I look at Mark and he's staring at Vincent, probably shocked as well.

As I'm outside I look inside and I see they are all gathered around him but he isn't focused on them because we made eye contact. So I turned around quickly and hurried to my car. I'm out of breath and can't believe that I'm affected by him to this extent. I know it's been awhile since I've dated but not that long for me to act like a teenager having a huge crush on someone. I just look at my book which has the receipt with his number on it. No way in hell am I going to text him.

I then remember when Vincent mentioned that Mark talks about me. I can only assume bad things but being a bookworm doesn't sound bad, I wonder what else he has said about me. Whatever, I really don't care. Not my problem. I want to hype myself up so I think of what music to put on and right now calls for anything Tiesto related. One of my favorite DJ's ever. I realize it's already three in the afternoon and I decide to go home. I don't want to stay out too late I still have to go home and clean. I can always grab the painting supplies tomorrow. If anything I should set up my painting corner up before getting the supplies.

On my drive back home instead of getting hyped I started feeling very nostalgic and started thinking of how it all started. Everything always starts in High School, how cliché. We three were best friends. We actually lived in the same apartment building even when our family moved away from each other. We still went to the same schools so we were together from Kindergarten till high school. Sally and I liked the same guy, Eric. But we never told each other so one day I built up my courage and I went and asked him if he would date me. He rejected me and told me that he never liked me. He liked Sally and the only reason he was nice to me was just because Sally and I are best friends. I was so distraught and heartbroken that I actually missed a whole week. I was angry but not at Sally but at him.

I didn't know but Mark always knew Sally had a crush on Eric, but didn't tell anyone because Sally told Mark not to say a word to no one. So the same day I built up my courage she did also but i beat her to it by talking to him first. She happened to see us talking and the moment she heard me ask him she was so hurt she didn't hear the rest which was him rejecting me but was immediately sad because she didn't want to ruin our friendship by fighting for a guy so she decided not to pursue him.

I sigh thinking of the irony of all this. She didn't want us to fight for a guy and yet everything started because of that idiot.

Unfortunately I'm not good at asking for help so during the time I disappeared I didn't contact anyone. So Sally thought I was at school busy dating him and she would vent to Mark about how she really liked him but she wants me to be happy. These idiots never thought of asking Eric what happened that Mark came to my house one day and got all mad at me saying how I'm such a bad friend and they never want to hear from me. He then told me What Sally has been going through so I got mad and argued back and said some mean things. But what struck a chord on Mark was when I told him.

"Why are you mad at me? I didn't do anything, it's all Sally's fault, everyone always chooses her so I'm glad she didn't get Eric she didn't deserve him." I yelled at him and with that he slapped me and I was in such a shock I didn't say anything.

"She deserves everything because she is smart and the sweetest most prettiest girl in the world unlike you who is stupid and fat. No one would ever like you." He told me while glaring at me his face was so red you can tell he is really angry.

I glared back while holding my stinging cheek " I hope you two never get together and you always stay on the sideline while she likes other guys." I say as my eyes get water so I turn around to close the door on him but before I close the door I tell him. " As of now you are dead to me, don't talk to me and interfere with anything I do." I close the door and decide right there and then not to ever care for him.

My sister heard everything and was furious and immediately handed me a cold wet rag and put it against my cheek. "Don't ever talk to them, the fact that Sally didn't even contact you to check on you even if she was that hurt she could have messaged you. And Mark, how dare he hit you after everything you've done for them."

"Thank you Michelle, you're my one and only true best friend." I say while smiling at her feeling so grateful I have such a kind older sister. "Let me text Sally. She probably has no idea and I might not like Mark but Sally is a whole different matter than Mark."

"You know you're too nice, we should do something to change that attitude of yours. I don't like it." I can tell she's jokingly saying it by how her eyes look soft at me. "Forget about guys, they only ever give you headaches, enjoy being single and young."
