Unwanted Encounter
1101 Words
I found an empty table out in the quad, pulling my laptop out. I typed out the politest email I could manage to my advisor, hoping to switch my classes. It was only 11 now. The door fiasco and doctor visit made me miss my other morning class. I had to send my professor an email explaining what happened and asking for today's assignments. I sent him a picture of my after care instructions with the date printed as proof.
I sighed, closing the laptop and my eyes. I let the sun soak into my skin, filling me with endorphins as I enjoyed the nature around me. The sun was suddenly blocked, so I opened my eyes to look at the cloud that was large enough to block it. Only it wasn't a cloud, it was Julius standing in front of me. I scowled at him, cursing the freshman now. I can't even yell at Julius. I have to sit and listen to him give me shitty excuses.
I opened my laptop typing out my response to him already. I knew what was about to come out of his mouth.
"Liv, I am so sorry."
No you're not. I typed on my computer, turning it to show him. He furrowed his brow at me.
"You're not even going to talk to me now?" He sounded mad.
Nope. I typed in front of him.
"This is childish, Liv. We need to talk like adults." He whined.
Too bad
"Are you serious? Liv, I love you. Please just let me explain." He leaned forward, like he wanted to kiss me.
I don't love you anymore. Leave me alone!
"Of course you still love me. You can't just stop loving someone overnight." He argued, reaching for my hand, but I pulled back before he could grab it.
I can and I did. Fu.ck you!
"Liv! She didn't mean anything. She seduced me. Please, Liv. You have to forgive me!"
I don't have to do shi.t. Now leave me alone before I scream.
I threatened him.
"You wouldn't."
Wanna bet?
He narrowed his eyes, trying to decide if I was bluffing or not.
"You're being ridiculous. We need to talk for real, Liv. You can't avoid me forever." He huffed, walking away finally.
When he was gone I let the tears, I had been holding back, stream down my face. I was teetering between being pissed at him and feeling absolutely heartbroken. He took my virginity. He swore he loved me, but what love involves a third person in their relationship? What he did is unforgivable.
"Olive, what's wrong?" Hailey's voice reached my ears before my eyes found her. Her dark brown hair was tied up today, showing off her natural beauty.
I handed her my after care instructions so she could see I couldn't talk to her just yet. I typed 'Julius saw me' on my computer.
"That motherfu.cker. Did he bother you?" She asked, searching for him in the crowd. She wanted to go off on him, I could see it in her dark green eyes.
I shook my head no to her question, but then gestured with my fingers that he had a little. She almost growled in anger as she crossed her arms and sat back in a huff.
"When I find him he'll never hear the end of it." She promised me.
I nodded in appreciation, but she really doesn't have to do that. Hailey ate while I drank a smoothie from a cup with no straw, and my stomach growling. I couldn't eat just yet with my tongue still numb.
"Hey. I am glad you're here. As promised, a new phone." The freshman from earlier appeared before our table. He handed me a box with the latest iPhone in it. I immediately rejected it, pushing the box back to him.
"She won't even let me buy her that. I doubt she'll let a stranger do it." Hailey pointed to the phone with her fork. "Who are you?"
"The i***t that did that to her." He pointed to my face.
"Well, i***t that did that. How about you leave the phone and run. Then she won't have a chance to give it back to you." Hailey laughed, making me narrow my eyes on her in anger.
I don't like lavish gifts. I don't need them. I feel like I need to earn these expensive items myself. I should never indulge or be given anything I can't give myself. I don't want to be disappointed in life, so I'll stick to my reality.
"The name's actually Leo." He smiled.
"Well, Leo. She isn't going to accept it." She informed him, making me nod my head in agreement.
"Please, I feel so bad. I mean look at you! I made you bleed. You literally can't even talk right now." He shook his head. "Please just take it. It'll help me feel better."
I waited a while, but eventually I nodded my head. I'll take it, but only as p*****t for the pain and inconvenience he caused. I am not comfortable with it, but I also really need a phone at the moment, considering he busted my other one.
"Yes!" He smiled. "It's programmed already. I had your old phone cloned, so everything is now on the new one. I put my number in there too, in case you need anything." He added, making Hailey laugh again.
"Leo, what are you doing?" Another random freshman came out of nowhere. He had light brown hair, sun kissed golden skin and hazel eyes. Where are these new hot freshmen coming from?
"Oh hey, Kade. Meet Olive. I was just about to invite her out with us this weekend. What do you say Olive? It'll be a big group of us, seniors and juniors will be there as well." Leo's eyes were practically begging me to say yes.
"We'll be there Leo." Hailey answered for me with a wide smile. I turned to face her with clear anger written on my face, causing her smile to widen. "I'll have her text you later for the details."
"Perfect. See you guys then."
Olive: Here's a text. I guess the phone does work.
I sent it to Leo before he left to see if he really did leave me his number, and not a fake one. Although I am not sure what the point of that would be. I just seem to be trusting men less and less.
Leo: Of course, it works. :)
Guess I'm going out again this weekend. I wonder if I'll see Lucas again?
