Chapter 2: 2
Fiona
"Hi, Fiona. I'm so glad I ran into you, I've been looking for you" I just nod not really knowing what to say. "I'm really sorry for what I did to you. I don't like how we left things off, can we talk?" I shake my head "As you can see I'm going somewhere so what you have to say will have to wait for another day" I answer in a monotone and I see surprise pass through his eyes "Oh okay, can I at least have your number. I've been trying to reach you through the one I had before but it's like you've changed your number" I smirk "Of course I've changed my number and it's only the people who are important to me that have my new number. So it figures you wouldn't have it since you're not important" he schools a hurt expression but I just shrug it off, it's not like I care about this jerk "So can I have the number? I have something very important I wanna talk to you about, I'll call you so we can meet" he stares at me expectantly "I'm sorry but I've got to get going and please don't follow me" I start walking away when I've made quite a distance between us I take a deep breath "Zona..." A lone tear runs down my cheek, what the hell is he doing here.
I walk towards the front door and ring the doorbell "I'm coming" I hear Ria shout "Come faster for me, dumbass" I hear her chuckle "You know you can't use such words to joke when my dad's around you're lucky he isn't" I roll my eyes "Whatever" I enter into the living room and make myself comfortable on the couch. My thoughts going back to Zona, what the hell does he want now?
I met Zona during my first year in highschool, Elle was friends with his elder brother so we would hang out often but during my third year he confessed that he had feelings for me. Our relationship became strained because I wasn't looking for a boyfriend, I just wanted to focus on my studies but then he kept on pestering me and I decided that the only way for me to have my peace was if he was out of the school, I couldn't get him expelled that would have been too cruel of me so I told his mom that he was a bad boy and flirt and didn't really focus on his studies. That worked because his mother transferred him to another school and I thought my life could actually go back to being peaceful but things just got worse because it seemed as with him not around more boys became bold enough to ask me out. You know how many sperms swim and try to penetrate one egg but only one of those sperm actually enters, yeah that's what I did, I close one of them, Emerald, to keep the rest away which was a big mistake because he was a pervert. He would always try to touch me when we were alone even when I warned him to stop, I got fed up with his excesses and broke up with him. Just then I realized that I was growing feelings for Zona because of his caring and smart nature, after sometime I agreed to date him without anybody knowing but I couldn't help keeping our relationship a secret from my best friend so I broke up with him because I felt it wasn't really a relationship since he was trying to hide it from everyone. After sometime I began dating another guy, he was an African, named David but I broke up with him when I learned he was just dating me to get back at his ex. Then Zona came back and begged me, saying he was sorry for being selfish. I fell for his stupid trick again and ended being heartbroken after finding out he was just a playboy and he made a bet with his friends that he was going to be the one to take my first kiss and that on the day he breaks up with me. I was shattered because I actually fell in love with him, I broke up with him a while after and refused to talk to him again, I even changed my number just so non of my exes would be able to reach me since they were all begging to have me back and I was not having it. Ever since I have been thinking about him but just hearing his name breaks my heart because the one person I truly loved played me.
Yes, I'm just 15years old and I've already dated four guys, Zona, Emerald, David and Lemuel but what can I say I played those players, it was my mistake to actually fall for Zona when I know the real reason I was dating him was to keep other boys away from me. Anyway, I haven't talked or seen Zona for almost a year because after our breakup he stopped going to the places we used to go together and that is where I almost always am. I still follow my mom to the Sunday masses in church and I see him from time to time but seeing him again after such a long time awakened the longing I've been feeling but then again what exactly am I longing for, it's not like we've kissed or had sex because I refuse to lose my V before I get married.
Right now, there's just one question in my mind, what the hell does he want now? Maybe he's just trying to apologize or-- "Fiona!"
I snap out of my thoughts when I hear Ria yell my name "What is it?" She looks relieved when she finally heard me speak "You zoned out for quit a while, I was already getting ready to call an ambulance" she sighs in relief "I'm fine just thinking" I whisper, she looks at me a little confused but doesn't try to get me to tell her anything "Okay, I'm ready lets go" I raise a brow at her "Go where" she looks at me surprised "I think I really need to call the ambulance, have you forgotten that you were the one who suggested that we go over to Crystal's place to hang out" she places her hands on her hips, my mouth forms an o and she just shakes her head "Are you sure you're okay?" She asks concern swimming in her black orbs "I'm fine" I give her a small smile to prove my point. She nods reluctantly before taking her keys and phone and heading towards the door, I take deep breaths before getting up and following her from behind. The walk to the bus stop is quiet until "I wish this summer break didn't have to end tomorrow" I laugh at how sad she looks just thinking about going to school. It would interest you to know that in my friend group Crystal and I are the only ones who like school and learning "Well at least I'll be away from home for seven to eight hours, so I don't really care. Besides, studying is fun" I smile sheepishly when she glares at me for my last statement "Oh come on Ria, you can't really hate school that much" I roll my eyes sitting on the bench at the bus stop. I close my eyes and lean my head back "Are you sure you're okay?" I open one eye to look at her "Of course I'm fine" she shrugs before signalling towards the bus "Let's go" I climb into the bus and occupy an empty seat, Ria sits next to me, the bus starts moving and my thoughts go back to Zona. I was really beginning to get curious about what he wanted to tell me but it's past now, not like I can go back in time and tell my past self to give him the number so I don't die of overthinking.
"Fiona" Ria groans as she shakes me "You zoned out again, we're here. Let's go" I just nod before highlighting the bus. We walk down the street and towards Crystal's apartment. Ria opens the front door and walks in "Crystal get your ass down here now cuz Ria Downs is in the building" I laugh at her antics. Ria has the habit of entering without knocking because the door is always open and I don't particularly like it but nobody can correct Ria about something like that, FYI, she is the most stubborn and hard-headed person in our group. "Shut the fuck up, Ria. Hey Fiona" she says with her usual cheery face "Sister Fiona" I heard Diamond, Crystal's younger sister call out to me before hugging me. "How's my baby girl doing?" I ask smiling down at her while patting her head "Fine" she smiles cheekily displaying her missing tooth "OMG, you've lost your milk tooth. May the heavens be praised" I act overly dramatic making everybody laugh. Ria drags Crystal to a corner and whispers into her ear, I couldn't here what they were saying from the way they were looking at me I knew I was the subject of their discussion. I swallowed knowing I would have to tell them about my encounter with Zona because when Ria and Crystal combine forces to get what they want they are unstoppable.
They walk back to where I sat and took a seat in the couch in front of me "Are you gonna spill or should I try to find out myself?" Crystal asks raising a brow, stare at her for a while before sighing "I saw Zona" they both gasp. They both knew who Zona was because we have been friends for the longest time but from the look on their faces, I'm not gonna get out of this by just telling them a single sentence.
