I hated myself! I hated the life I was living! I’d been so optimistic about starting a new school in a new city, but this fucking town was full of nothing but fakes. Deceptive fakes who do nothing but use you and then screw you over.
“I hate you, Dawson!!”
Then my phone dinged. A text. I slowly dragged myself over to where I’d left my phone and picked it up.
Dawson.
Hey, can we talk?
No.I typed back.
Well, you don’t really have much of a choice. I’m outside.
CHAPTER SEVEN
S
hit! Did he see Ross? Did he see… us? I felt my body shaking aggressively as I stumbled over to the door. I peered through the side window of the front door, and there he was, waving at me. Now Ihadto open it.
I flung open the door, expecting Dawson to fume with anger, but he had his hands in his pockets and shuffled his feet on the door mat.
“Can I come in?” he asked.
I nodded and stepped off to the side. Everything felt so different now, so… awkward. The last time he’d been here, I leapt into his arms and made out with him on my bed. Now, I struggled just meeting him eye-to-eye.
“I saw Ross leaving your house.”
Crap. He did see him. Did they talk? Does he know what I did?
“Well, what do you care? You fucked Cindy!” I didn’t know why I was screaming. I hadn’t meant to, but my frustration with everyone around me just sent me over the edge, and I didn’t quite know how to dial it back.
“What the hell are you talking about?
“Cindy! It’s all over school. You fucked her!” I yelled again.
“What?! Are you insane? No, I didn’t!”
“But she said—”
“Amber! I don’t care what she said. Who are you gonna believe? Your boyfriend, or someone who hates your guts enough to ruin it?” The look in Dawson’s eyes were genuine, like he had nothing to hide.
“Then how do you explain her kissing you? By the lockers today?”
“You mean the kiss that she just threw on me? And if you’d watched a bit longer, you would’ve seen me pushing her away. Why are you interrogating me, anyway? You’re the one who had another guy over.”
“Wait, did you say you’re still my boyfriend?”
“Yeah, were you fucking another dude?” The anger was starting to grow in his voice.
“So, does that mean Cindy made all that up? You never did anything with her?”
“Amber, if I did, wouldn’t I be with her right now instead of standing here?” I stayed silent. “Are you gonna tell me what happened with Ross?”
“We’re… we’re just friends. That’s all.” I stuttered while trying to get those words out, and even I didn’t believe what I had said.
“Bullshit, Amber. No guy wants to be just friends with a girl without wanting something more. Did you two fuck?”
“No! We didn’t!”
