CHERYL'S POV
"WHAT!"Nate reacted to what I told him
"Yea, let us have fun. Life is all about having fun. What do you say?" I asked once again.
"I don't know what has gotten into you,"He said after a couple of minutes elapsed and silence reverberated between us.
"Why? What is wrong?"I implored.
"What have you become?"He asked
"I don't know what you are talking about,"I told him because I wondered why all he is asking had to do something with anything.
"I can't believe you said that to me,"He was overreacting.
"What is your take?" I was impatient with him. I wanted him to tell me his answer.
"Hell no! I don't know what has changed you. I don't want to have fun. I only want to study and pass cats and exam,"He told me thinking that it is going to crush my dreams of having fun.
"I think that makes everything clear between us,"I told him and he was puzzled.
"What do you mean?"He implored.
"Well, you don't want to have fun and I want to have fun. We have different life choices now. That means that we can never be together,"I told him the truth of the matter.
"Wait, are you breaking up with me just because I decided not to do drugs and not to party?"He asked.
"It is over between us Nathan, over,"I said in a sharp and an enraged voice before I walked out of his car.
"Cheryl!"He called me but I ignored. I was going to end this pain by having fun. I was going to go to parties and party hard. Besides, I had already wasted my life.
"Hey, Cheryl , I am happy to meet you. I wanted to talk to you..."Ivy's started off and I already knew what she wanted to talk to me about.
"Ace ..."I finished the sentence for her.
"How did you know?"She implored.
"That is all we talk about and I am sick of it. It is not in my f*****g business that you lose your virginity or not. "I also couldn't believe that I was saying this to ivy.
"Why are you talking to me like that?"She was baffled.
"I am tired of our virginity talks. Let's talk of something else. I lost my virginity to the wrong person and you showing up every morning to talk to me about your virginity crisis with Ace is not my cup of tea,"I fastened my steps and walked to the hallway leaving her behind.
She was still in shock after what I had just told her.
I didn't care about that, I was just trying to be honest with her.
If we are friends, let's talk about so many other things, we can't just be talking about s*x and boys, she should know better than that.
"Miss Bryant, I am happy you are here on time,"Miss Hellen called me to her table once I walked into the classroom.
"Is there any issue Miss Hellen?"I asked her when I got to her table. I was not the type of girl to be in problems or issues so this was so peculiar.
"Are you okay?"That is the first thing she asked me and I did not know what to say to her.
"I am fine, why?"I lied.
She looked up and my eyes met hers. I had to say something or else, she would know that I am lying to her and I don't want that to happen.
"My eyes are aching, that is all,"I lied.
"Have you been taken to see a doctor?"She was very concerned about my welfare.
"Yes,"I mumbled.
"Okay,I called you here to discuss with you the grades of the cat that we did yesterday,"She explained.
"What about the grades?"I asked her. I was among the top students and now that she called me to see her, I knew for sure that I had failed.
"You got an E, out of the usual A,"She told me this and my eyes popped out. My mouth formed a perfect letter O. This is so unexpected.
I knew that I would not do so well but I never expected it to be at this extent.
"This is not your grade. Something is definitely wrong because you left most of your questions unanswered."She pointed out.
"I must have forgotten,"I tried to defend myself.
"You are not the type to forget. I know you are not okay. It is also okay that you don't want to talk about it right now. What I am asking of you is to please talk to me about it when you are ready,"She asked that of me and gave me my paper.
I couldn't help but to look through the rest of the papers as she was.looking for mine. Technically, Nathan had done so well while on my part, I had failed terribly.
This hurt me so much. I couldn't wait to get out of the class to cry.
It hurt me that only that one stupid decision landed me to all this trouble and failure.
As soon as Miss. Hellen left the class, I went to the washroom to cry. I was crying inside when someone knocked on the door.
I stopped crying and cleared my voice before I said, "I am in,"
I reminded silent but the person who was knocking on the door kept knocking and it become annoying.
"What the f**k is wrong with her!"I thought to myself as I wiped away my tears. I am f*****g in in!!
Let me deal with her, I will cry later on. I thought to myself.
"What the heck is wrong with you,"I walked out of the washroom and I met Penelope Blue, the badgirl of the school.
"I am sorry,"I was afraid of her. She can hurt me and I didn't want that to happen.
"Why are you crying?"She asked me her hands folded in front of her.
"I am not crying,"I lied
"Come on, no one lies to me, tell me now, why are you crying?"She implored.
I really wanted to talk to her but on the second thought, I chose not to talk to her. I didn't want to go around telling everyone in school how I messed up badly.
They will pretend to be sorry for what happened to me but gossip behind my back. I know what girls are capable of and I don't want to risk that with Penelope Blue.
"Let me guess, you are crying because of a boy,"She was absolutely right and I was lost of words.
I had to agree with what she said.
"Yea,some boy hurt me," I confessed.
"I am so sorry darling,"Wait, who knew that the bad b***h Penelope Blue would tell anyone that she is sorry for them?
Wait, does she even have a heart?
"Thanks,"I nodded and wanted to walk away but she held my hand.
"I am Penelope Blue,"She introduced herself. She didn't have to, everyone in the school knew whom she was.
"I am Cheryl Bryant,"I told her my name.
"Nice to meet you Cheryl, from now henceforth, you will be my friend. I will make you heal from that stupid heartbreak,"She announced.
I couldn't believe that I was getting help from her and from now onwards, she will be my friend.
"How are you going to do that? I want all this pain to go away,"I told her.
"Have this,"She gave me some pills and she asked me to swallow.
"They will make you ease the pain,"She explained to me and I swallowed them.
"Why are you helping me?"I asked her. This was really unexpected.
"Because I can,"She said with a smile lighting up her face.
