7. The truth

Things were going smoothly. My life has been a little less complicated. Mom seemed to be more happy ever since I started smiling and talking. And going out with 'the gang' as they would like to call it, once in a while. Everything was going ok.

"I was in bio class when Cleo came to meet me demanding me to have sex with her. Like I mean who does that?" Seb asked. We all have him a pointed look. "What? Why are you guys giving me that look?"

"You, my friend, are hopeless." Ciara said, patting him in the back. Seb just grumbled about how we are terrible friends who doesn't believe him all the time.

"But its kinda true. She is kind of desperate." Drake piped in.

"See!!! At least someone here believes me." Seb said.

"Oh, I don't believe you. I do know she's desperate but I also know you can't keep your d!ck in your pants even if your life depends on it." Everyone burst into peels of laughter. Seb face was something I couldn't forget. We continued to talk for sometime before Annie came in.

"Has any done Mr. Dumbledore's assignment?" Cyan groaned. "Why do you always think about school when you are at home??"

"Because unlike you, I have a future planned ahead of me." She snapped.

"What does that mean??"

"It means that somewhere along the line, you'll be in prison and I'll be the lawyer who would come save you." She said in a matter-of-fact manner. Everyone burst out laughing, while Cyan just grumbled.

"Well considering your question, we were actually waiting for you too finish yours so we would actually copy from you." Drake said. Annie shot him a glare which made him shut up. Then I realized something. "Where's Jessica?"

"She's upstairs." Ciara answered. "With Damien."

"Doing what?," I paused, "you know what, never mind. I did not just ask that." And they chuckled.

"But if you still wanna know." Seb winked at me.

"Eww Seb, I'm not gay." I gagged.

"I could make you."

"Eww. Get your LGBT self away from me."

"That was rude." He pouted.

"Do you have a problem with gay people?" Drake asked. I turned to him. "Absolutely not. I just don't like them making advances on me." Drake hummed in response while Seb sent me a wink.

Weirdo.

I was quiet for a while till Annie groaned. "I give up." Causing Cyan to snicker. Annie shot him a look and he shut up. Seem like he was afraid of her or something. I looked at her. "What exactly are you doing?"

"Economics."

"You take Economics? I've never seen you in class."

"That's because I sit in front while you sit at the back where no one would see you and you never pay attention because you always have your headphones on. I wonder why no one ever tells you off about that dumb headphones you have on?" She rambled. I raised an eyebrow, smirking.

"Annie Marie, I feel so flattered for you to pay so much attention on me." She scowled at me. "Don't get over your head dummy." She said making me to laugh.

"Aww, wittle Annie Marie has a cwush." Seb teases her, making her face to go all red. She looked at him and I'm not sure I could call that a glare because it was more intensed than a normal glare which made him to shrink back. No one laughed like they all did. I was sure they were all afraid of her. After that intense stare, she packed her books and left, mumbling and grumbling under her breath. That's when Jessica and Damien walked in.

"What's up mates!" She looked at everyone. "What did we miss?"

"A lot." Ciara said. Jessica just shrugged and went to sit down, Damien following suit.

I feel like he's a dog cuz he's always following her everywhere. Why does he do that.

It didn't take long for the atmosphere to be lively again. Jessica was good at that. And like always, I just remained in the background, listening to them talk. But I was ok. And happy.

Monday came fast and it also went fast. Sometimes, I feel like I was forgetting something. I really don't know but it's bugging the hell out of me. I think I'm having amnesia. Great, now I'm thinking crazy. Cons of being around Jessica for too long.

It was lunch time and as usual, we sat at out table, eating laughing at something Seb had said. He's always so full of drama. Another new thing is that a new girl I've never met sat on our table with us today. She's has white blonde hair and nice green eyes. She was Drake's girlfriend. Turns out she had been sick so that's why I haven't seen her around. Her name's Marigold. But Seb likes calling her Goldie it Goldielock. Weird I know. We, or rather they, just call her Goldie. And since I just met her, I call her Marigold. She hasn't told me to call her what others are calling her so I'll just leave it be. After all, we aren't friends yet. Soon the whole cafeteria became rowdy.

"Great, she's back." Ciara mumbled.

"Who?"

"Oh, forgot. You're new here. That's chayanne. Her father owns half of this school so she thinks she's some kind of queen. No body likes her. She's bitchy, rude and lacks manners "

"Isn't that all the same thing?"

"Yes. I hate her so much so I'll use all the bad adjectives to describe her." I decided not to pay attention to anything because honestly. I don't care.

****

I finally remembered what I was forgetting but I wish I had forgotten because seeing it made me mad. "Osar?" I desperately wished that it wasn't him but someone who just happened too look like him but I knew I was just lying to myself. He looked at him, shock written all over his face. He stood there, with a cigarette in his hand and two girls by his side. He looked so different than the first I saw him. He had that bad boy vibe coming off of him. And what shocked me most was the fact that he didn't have any broken English. Sure he still had his accent, but he talked fluently.

"What the hell is going on?" He quickly dropped the cigarette and carefully walked towards me. I could my friends eyes on me. "You know this guy?" Seb asked me. I ignored. My eyes were still strained on Oscar. "What the FUCK IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" I yelled. I was so mad. This couldn't be Oscar. The Oscar I knew was a sweet weird guy who couldn't even have a complete conversation without making grammatical errors. But by the look on his face, he was definitely Oscar.

"I can explain." He said. I just looked at him. Not bothering to reply him and waiting for his excuse. "Your mom called my mom and told her about your..... You know, condition. So she told my mom to help her out, and she sent me to look after you. She wanted me to act all like I couldn't speak good English so I could get your attention. It seemed to work for a while till I saw you had made friends and didn't really need anything from me. So left you alone. I swear I never meant for you to know this way." I felt tears drop from my eyes. I was so pissed off

"So you and my mother felt it was nice to lie to me."

"She wanted you to have your attention and come out of your shell."

"BY LYING TO ME AND PRETENDING TO BE WHO YOU ARE NOT???!!!" I yelled. By now, a small crowd was gathering. And I didn't want that. "You disgust me." I spat and pushed my way through the crowd and into an empty class.

"Why do you have to be a jerk?" Ciara yelled at me. I really didn't want this. "Please leave me alone."

"Dude that was rude and terrible. Who knew you were like this." Seb spat out.

"Just leave me alone."

"No. We deserve an explanation."

"It's none of your business"

"You are so full of yourself. We made you our friend even though you don't deserve it and this is how you repay us?"

"I never asked for it." I said, gritting my teeth. I don't know what happened but I felt a sharp sting on my face. Holding my face, I turned to look at who hit me. It was Annie.

"You are despicable. I never believe you were like this."

"You don't know anything about me."

"Oh please. We know what we've seen." Ciara retorted

"Ok then. Do you want to know why I'm like this? Huh? IM LIKE THIS BECAUSE IM GOING TO FUCKING DIE, OK. I HAVE FUCKING LEUKAEMIA." I yelled. I lost all my will power and sat down on one of the desk, breaking down into sobs. "I had a life planned. Finish high School, go to college, get a job in one of the biggest law firms, find love , get married, have a wonderful family. All in all, I wanted my parents to be proud of me. But I had to have leukaemia. And I just wanted to be alone. I didn't have plans in coming to this school or make to friends. I just wanted to wait for death to hold me so I'll just go because living is now painful for me." I said. I couldn't handle this. The whole room was quiet and I couldn't stand it So I stood up to leave, not before saying. "Thanks for your friendship, but I just don't want to be friends again." And with that, I left.
