章節 18: Chapter 18
Diana's P. O. V
Class seemed very weird all throughout my first four periods, I couldn't get past the awkward stares people shot at me. And the loud whispers, it felt like something huge happened and I was left in the dark about it all.
Wouldn't be the first time though...
June texted me a video, and I had a feeling it would shed more light on the situation. After fourth period I had a free class, the teacher was going through a divorce or something and couldn't make it to school that week.
I went into the girls locker room, no one was inside thankfully, I took out the phone and tapped play. Feeling very nervy.
I watched the first three seconds and my phone almost fell out of my hands, my jaw dropped in utter shock.
"Hell no! This can't be happening to me!"I chanted, my stomach churning, I covered my mouth with my right hand.
But what surprised me the most, was that the part Pablo confessed to liking Makela wasn't added to it. The video just ended when he said "Mi Amor".
But under the circumstances I could guess why that happened, and the circumstances were really shitty, and most of all not in my favor.
Becca and Brett were having their show, they were interviewing the glee club. Turns out Pablo's the president, and they tried to get him through video call. It seems like Becca doesn't have face to face interviews, their all through video call.
And Pablo didn't hit decline on his phone, he accepted the call, and our weird conversation was all over the school. And Becca thought it was to end the call when she thought he was done speaking, that convincing bitch!
I changed into my assistant's uniform and ran to the field, I had a lot of explaining to do.
Michael's P. O. V
I vented out my anger today on the field, why am I angry? Beats me really, after all I did know they were dating each other. Heck! They were sleeping with each other, and Pablo's sixteen, he'll be seventeen next year, he knows his shit. But Diana, she's fifteen, I think, and naieve, or was she all that innocent?
She didn't have the decency to hide their relationship while she pretended to date me. It was the least decent thing she could do right about now.
Makela must be torn right now, I'll talk to her at home, I hope she's okay enough not to do anything stupid.
Coach seems impressed by this, he blew his whistle, signalling me to hit the showers and head for class after lunch. But I didn't listen and I kept on running, he blew his whistle again, but I just focused on going a few more laps.
"Tyler get off the field! Now!"Coach said from where he stood, but I didn't listen, Josie walked in and am glad Diana wasn't with her. Coach blew his whistle again, but my anger clouded my judgement, making me push myself farther and faster.
"A week on the bench Tyler!"he yelled, and that only fuelled my anger, this was all her fault. She clouded my judgement, and it hurt, so damn much. I saw him place his hand on her lips, like it was normal. Those lips I fantasized about, he had them at his disposal...lucky bastard!
"Two weeks on the bench!"coach yelled, but I didn't stop, now my breathing was shaky, I couldn't feel my toes or my heels, I don't even know what was pushing me.
"Tyler if you don't get off that field, you're not playing against the rival team this Friday!"he yelled and that stung me hard. But I kept running, till I heard a voice, it stopped me dead In my tracks. I fell down on the grass, almost bruising my shoulder, I saw two feet running up to me.
I sat up, taking huge and deep breaths, holding my shoulder, trying to get up from my sorry position. A hand touched my shoulder, and my insides burned at the touch.
"Michael are you okay?"she asked and placed both hands on my shoulders. I pushed her away, hoping not to hurt her, as pathetic as that sounds.
She left to get me a water bottle, I took it poured the water on my face, I didn't bother drinking it. I walked away from the field, from my coach, but I could feel her presence, she followed me.
Coach was fucking right, having a relationship was a huge distraction and I couldn't afford that right now. Maybe it was a stupid idea, and now the whole school knew it was a lie, time to come clean.
"Just talk to me, I swear it's easier"she said from behind, that's the hard part, talking to her at this moment.
I pushed the doors and walked into the boys locker room, she followed fearlessly.
"Diana just give me space, go run off to Pablo or something"I said. Don't do that! Don't do that please, just convince me, tell me it's all a lie and a misunderstanding. Give me a reason to still see you the same, do it. But I knew I had my hopes up too high.
"It's not what it looks like, and if you want to listen to me and Pablo, you'll get to know the truth"she said, and my heart skipped a beat. What was she saying, I stopped then faced her, her beautiful face staring at me.
"You did this stunt just to have your revenge on me, for making life at school difficult for you right? Well it worked"I said, trying not to look at her and get my stuff.
"I know that am hurting your image.."
You're hurting me, fuck my image. "But there's some blanks that need filling in"she said and I could sense the sincerity in her words.
"You're demanding a lot from me"I managed to say, "just meet me at the patio and we'll talk more okay"she said.
I did not consent to that, but I didn't refused either, I stood there her feet sore.
She walked away, clearly she has passed down her message, she pushed the door then looked at me.
"It was never my intention to hurt your image"she said and left the locker room. In minutes the guys all came in, as if they were waiting for our conversation to end.
"Coach is fucking mad, Josie had to convince him not to bench you this game on Friday"Seth said. I slammed my locker and placed a towel on my shoulder.
"That Diana is some whore..."I heard Jake, my wide receiver say under his breath. My blood boiled and I had him against the lockers staring daggers at the guy
"What did you just say about my girlfriend?"
"It's shit, but it's true"Jake said, not afraid to say it up to my face. "And with your best friend too, I didn't think love could blind you Mike"Fucking Jake said.
"Tell that to your girlfriend who was all over me last semester, or did she not tell you about those make out sessions we had at the theater she works at"I fearlessly said.
Jake was always outspoken, but at that moment the dude was tongue tied, I noticed it and left him. I took my stuff and went into the showers, Diana had a lot of explaining to do today. And funny enough, I was looking forward to it.
Diana's P. O. V
School closed rather slowly, I searched around and asked around, but it seemed like Pablo didn't come to school today. I figured he wouldn't though, he was going through something at home. While walking to the patio, I got a text from Pablo, my heart skipped a beat, I was nervous as hell.
He wanted me to come outside, I sucked in my fear and quickly went outside, it sucked to know he liked Makela. But I think it would be better if we sorted this whole mess out.
He seemed better, he smelled better too, but the scent of alcohol was still lingering on in my mind.
"Am sorry for putting you through any of that earlier today, I was a dickhead senorita..." God, when he called me that name my insides still churned.
"I know, and we need to talk things over with Michael. I told him we would clear it up with him right now we need to get going"I said.
"You're right we do"he said, but he seemed worried, "Diana, I have to ask you to do something"he said. He actually called me by my name, something he doesn't do quite often. But I don't know any of them that well to conclude anything.
"What?"
"I watched the video, and am sorry for putting you in that position, but for the meantime, I need you to lie to Michael and Makela that we're secretly seeing each other"he said.
I said I wanted to get out of this mess, not crawl into yet another one!
A/N: Feeling better today, still a bit sore. Thanks for waiting guys, any thoughts on the new chapter?
