Imperfection chapter 8
hi. sorry for not updating in such a long time. but i did now! so please rate and message.Ashley's POV
I walked down the halls, scanning the lockers for Katherine. I wanted to tell her that my bro could pick her up to go to my house. But it seemed like she was advoiding me. Well, you couldn't tell, because i think she only has like, 2 friends.
I should be able to catch her in french class. i got french with her, i think........
I'm not totally sure, but let's just go with that.
***************************************************************************
"Katherine, hey," my breathing is kinda fast, i caught her just after french, cuz it turns out i'm in the same french class as Katheryn Lau. Not Katherine Omiee. But i did eventually catch her.
"hi."
"Hey, um, my mom can pick you and Nancy up today after school to go to my house. Do you want a ride?" She looked at me. Just looked. She was so quiet.
"No."
Now i was kinda confused. "Why?" I think i sounded a little rude. But im spoiled, whadda you expect?
"My stuff is at home."
Her answers were so plain. So straight forward.
I just nod. Then i don't really know what was happening, but Katherine just stared.
She looked like she was gonna say something, so i stood there too, and just listened. But.....she said nothing. But i still stood there, watching her.
Then a girl came up and looked at both of us. We all kinda stood there for like, what seemed forever but was really only 3 mins. approx.
But then the girl took a deep breath and asked, (i don't know if the question was for me or not) "What are you doing?"
I didn't answer cuz it might not have been intended for me. So i watched.
"Nothing," Katherine said. Plainly. As usual.
"So, who's this?" her friend prodded. I was kinda lost. But i do believe she knew who i was. I'm pretty sure.
"No one."
That's when the screaming started.
"What?! You promised Katherine!!! I knew you suck!!!!! You always will. I never even know why im your stupid friend!!!!!!" the girl really lost it. She started to blab about who knows what, but then she just stormed away.
I had nothing to do. Nothing at all.
"Um, Katherine?"
She looked away. I felt bad. Was it my fault? Maybe. I felt bad, worse.
I felt helpless. I was useless...............
Katherine's POV
It was Ashley's fault. But who could blame perfect little innocent Ashley? No one.
No one.
So i was mad. I just lost my best friend, well, i wouldn't have called her that. She was just someone who was okay with me being quiet.
But still. Now, I'm a loner. Like that wreached Nancy. EW.
Okay, i guess i lost it. I'll admit it. But, it wasn't fair.........sort of.
But i was wrong. Because you know what i did. I yelled. At Ashley Willson.
"What's your problem Ashley???!!!!!!!"
"um, sorry.........." she didn't know. so i told her. I told her.
"Why do you have to be popular? You know, my best friend just dumped me because i didn't introduce you to her!!! You wanna know how stupid that is?!?!?!?!?! Well, you don't. Because you're too perfect. " I glared at her.
"Katherine, i'm sorry. I didn't-" I knew what she was gonna say. She didn't know.
And for the first time in my life, for the first time, i said the "F" word. To a person.
"Fuck you Ashley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I ran to the washroom. I couldn't take no more.
Sitting in the corner, i pulled out a paper clip from my pocket. I was gonna use it for my science report, but i have better things to do with it. The last block was math, so i could skip it.
I broke it in half after bending it so it was sharp. And sitting on the toilet lid, i used my fingers and traced the scar on my left forearm.
Instead of hurting that again, i began to make a new one. Scratching, i waited.
The blood, finally pouring out. It hurt. If you hurt yourself before, it hurts. But not as much as this. But i continued to cut, to scrape. And soon it was gushing out blood.
But you know what?
Ashley didn't matter no more.
Erin getting mad didn't make me upset.
I was no longer mad.
I was no longer sad.
I was free..................at last, from my emotions.
