I hate that I haven't figured out earlier that Tasha was working with Tom on separating me and Melanie from each other this whole time. It makes me feel like an utter idiot now. God, I should have known she's trouble, I should have known she was crazy the first time I tried leaving her.
Of course she would have done something stupid like that, if it meant I'd be all hers, even if it meant beating my ass up by three or four guys because you know, why should she care about my feelings and my physical pain when she's my 'only true love'.
I don't even know if me and Melanie are gonna last, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it last for as long as possible. With her I have something I never had before, I'm really happy for once and I don't really care about others, like my mum being with dad for instance, back then I would have had her on my mind the whole time, but now I really don't care. As cruel as that sounds, it's true. Not that I don't care, but it's just the fact that I know she's happy with him and I for once care about my happiness now.
Around her, I can truly be myself, I don't need to hide anything and it feels absolutely normal, now she made me realise I can do whatever I want and it's not up to anyone else to decide for me, that if my friends don't like my decision they can fuck off.
She makes me feel like no-one ever did before, she made me change a lot. Before knowing her, I was all trouble, all this and that, too full of myself, but I realised that's not the way to go, criticising all the different people, all the 'nerds' as I used to call them. When in reality they're just like me, if anything, I'm more of a nerd than they are. They're just smart people with high targets and goals.
All this time with Melanie I've realised one thing; everyone has an inner nerd. Everyone is a nerd in my opinion, everyone is just a nerd at different things, me for example: I'm a nerd for football... and Melanie... Awkwaaard... and cheesy.
Melanie is a nerd for her DC and Marvel stuff, which is cool and I love her for it because we have that in common. Other people like Johnny are nerds for comedy films, Josh is a nerd for technology... and then there's people like Tasha who are nerds for sleeping with people, but that's okay, we won't judge. Jk, we're soooo judging her right now.
See everyone has their inner nerd, whether it's an obsession for reading, cars, technology, make-up or some Harry Potter shit I don't know, but we all have one.
With anger rushing in my veins, I take off to the canteen finding Tasha with her best friend Gigi sitting next to Alex. I stop before them and bang my hands on the table that Tasha is sitting on, while from the corner of my eyes I see all heads turn towards the drama.
"What the fuck are you playing at Tasha, hm!" I shout in her face, my heart banging against my chest, when suddenly someone pulls me away making me stumble backwards. I turn around to see Alex, "Calm down man" he says, "Tell her to calm to fuck down! She's the one who got me angry in the first place!" I shout once more, pointing my finger at Tasha who has a smile on her face and she seems unusually calm for some strange reason.
"I don't know what he's talking about" she innocently says as she dashes her white teeth at me, "Stop playing innocent and just own up to your shit!" I spit back turning away from Alex and escaping his grip.
"What shit? I don't know what you're talking about!" she shouts back this time making more heads turn our way.
"Stop acting like you don't know anything. I know it was you who told those guys to beat me up because you didn't want to see me with Melanie. You were so desperate to have me back that you had to set up an attack" I say in a calmer voice but rage is still building up inside me.
"I wouldn't have done any of those things if you could just be with me" she confessed while standing up to come eye to eye with me.
"Don't you get it? I'll never be with you, EVER!" I roar back at her letting all the anger out.
"B-but... I still love you Dylan" she whispers as tears start forming in her eyes.
"Well let me break it down for you... I don't like you any more. I don't want you. And I don't love you. Now I'm dating Melanie, so whether you like it or not, I'm over with you." I say in a lower voice moving closer to her, not avoiding eye contact.
There's a silent pause, where she just stares me in the eyes, her tears falling down to her cheeks. Without any other words I turn around and decide to leave the canteen but on my way out, my eyes catch a glimpse of suspenders boy, a.k.a Tom.
Before leaving the canteen I turn to Tom and go up to the 'nerdy' table. "Don't think for a second that I don't know you've got your hands in this too" I whisper so no one else could catch what I said and then decide to leave. With the amount of anger I still have inside me, I would have punched him or something but he's not worth it.
And I know I might have been harsh on Tasha but she had to get the point, I didn't know how else I should have explained it to her other than that way. Matter of fact, no. I wasn't harsh, she deserved this ages ago, after all the lies and broken promises, all the cheating she's done on me with all those guys, she deserved worse than this.
I walk to the locker corridor to find Melanie and her friend Alicia laughing. I greet her with a hug before I start talking about the stuff I found out about Tasha and her soon to be ex friend Tom. After I told her everything, Michael and Johnny come into the view and hear a bit of the conversation, so after explaining it to them again, we left Melanie and Alicia alone and went out clear our minds off by playing some football.
MELANIE'S POV
I couldn't believe my ears about what Dylan had just told me. After all this time of being a good friend of Tom's, he decides to pay some dudes to fight my boyfriend for being with me.
Not stressing about it too much though, me and Alicia carry on with our previous conversation, ending up laughing again, when a certain someone bumps into me, "Watch where you're going loser!"
"I can't help imagining how much awesomer the world be if your dad had pulled out!" Out of nowhere I shout back with whatever came to my mind first, noticing I just said that to the barbie in pink.
She slowly turns around on her heels, making her way over to me, being really shocked about what I just said and honestly, even I am shocked at myself, Eve would be proud.
"What did you just say to me?" she says in a disbelieving tone and I can see people ganging around us probably because they heard what she asked me, assuming we're going to fight. Okay, my anxiety is kicking in.
"I said the world would be so much cooler if your dad pulled out!" Ahhh I can't believe I just repeated what I said before. Oh my god, this is war. She's going to kill me. After a few seconds I hear some people chant ohh's and ouches, realising I just killed her.
"Well your whole family tree must be a cactus because everyone on it is a prick" she comebacks, that was a good one, I'll give her that, but she doesn't know me just yet. I slowly start clapping for her and then pretend to grab my mini violin out, probably the size of a peanut.
"Here is the smallest violin playing for you because you're sad and your life is a joke Tasha. Since you're acting like a jerk 24/7 I think you should take a day off today" I say and hear some people in the back giggle. After what Dylan said to me and after how she's reacting, I've had enough, so lets bring it on! I crack my knuckles in front.
"Remember when I asked for your opinion nerd? No, that's because I didn't ask" she says with a smile on her face, oh god, please help me through this journey, I'm staring at a living hell right now.
"Well since you know I'm such a nerd, I'm going to give you a little fact: The human body has 7 trillion nerves and you just somehow manage to get on every single on of them" I educate her and all I could hear is a bunch of burn sound effects coming from the people, this is actually fun.
"Your face get's on my nerves-"
"Please keep talking, I only yawn when I'm super fascinated" I interrupt her with a yawn.
"Do yourself a favour little girl and ignore anyone who tells you to be yourself because that's a really bad idea"
"Wow interesting! Last time I checked, your now ex boyfriend said the opposite" I say the first sentence in a sarcastic voice, "And oh, here's another fact from this 'little girl', According to scientists, the universe is made up of neutrons, protons and electrons, little did they know they forgot to mention morons" I finish and she gasps a bit and everyone else just laughs again.
"Yeah well remember the time I told you you're cool? I lied" she says and people behind her start to boo. I do agree that was a really bad comeback.
"Good story bro, but in what chapter do you shut the fuck up?" I spit back
"I'll tell you a better story then: Your village just called, they said they'd like their idiot back. You better get going, honey" she says in an annoying voice and suddenly everyone starts laughing at me and ohh's start echoing throughout the corridor.
"Well that's weird actually because someone just called me too, it was the zoo, wondering how you got out of your cage?" I say in a same annoying voice as hers and I see everyone jumping around from the comeback that I just used.
"You know, if I had a face like you, I'd sue my parents" she responds but before anyone can laugh or interrupt I open my mouth first, "I'd slap you for that, but then again that would be animal abuse" I innocently say making her more angry.
"Ughhh, you're such an asshole" she spits through her gritted teeth
"Oh please, I'm not a proctologist but even I know an asshole when I see one. It's right in front of me" I laugh at her making her even angrier and red.
"I bet you were born on the highway because that's where most accidents happen" she tries her best to offend me.
"Oh sorry, I didn't get that, I don't speak bullshit" I press my hand at the back of my ear moving closer to her pretending not to understand her.
"Well I'm sure you'll understand this: You're so fat, you could sell shade"
"I would tell you how I feel about that statement you just made but I wasn't born with enough middle fingers to express myself" a say in an apologetic tone and everyone starts with their oohh's once again.
"I'll tell you how I feel about you though, I'd rather die than live with a face like yours"
"That's okay, everyone has different opinion, I for example really like your foundation, orange is my favourite colour" I say sarcastically say and then hear someone in the crows say 'please apply water to the burned area' making me smile. "I can't help but wonder; if laughter is the best medicine, you must be curing the whole world" I carry on because she had nothing else to say.
"I'm sorry was I meant to be offended? Because the only thing offending me is your face" Okay Tasha, quit saying the same thing over and over again, it's getting boring.
"You'll get far someday... and I just really hope you stay there"
"You know nerdy girl, I had a nightmare today, I dreamt I was you" she responds.
"That's weird because I just thought of you today as well. It reminded me to take out the garbage"
"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Hate me because your boyfriend thinks so" she fake smiles and bats her lashes
"Why don't you go fuck a tree, since you've already fucked everyone in this school and there's no one else for you to fuck?"
"Oh please, the only way you'll ever get laid is if you crawl up a chicken's ass" She rolls her eyes
"Ha ha. I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and shit out a smarter statement than whatever you just said" Once again, I briefly hear someone in the crowd say the words 'savage' and 'roast her' making me smile because she does deserve it.
"God really does have a sense of humour since he decided to make someone like you" I spit out another comeback that she wasn't ready for.
Seconds later we hear the school bell ring and someone people from the crowd are already disappearing to their lessons, "You hear that? That's your cue to go" I sarcastically wave at her and she clenches her teeth in rage, "I'm going to destroy you. Just you wait and see"
"Umm, sorry I'll be due to not giving a fuck at that time. See ya" I pretend to look at my watch while saying the sentence and then say my last goodbye to her while me and Alicia start heading for our next period laughing our asses off.
"Oh my god, I can't believe I just done that. I can't believe I swore" I state to Alicia and she just dies of laughter still processing what just happened between me and Tasha, "I know. Eve would be so proud" Damn this girl reads my mind.
