Chapter 21 (A)

“Ops sorry!” Of course, I bumped into someone while making my way to the cafeteria. I was considering starting the use of my cane again since I was bumping into everyone lately.

“Oi, it’s me, Mateo.” I heard his voice as an arm draped over my shoulder. I sighed.

“Mateo, just because you don’t have friends and I'm not talking to mine, doesn’t mean that we are friends.” I shrugged off his arm.

“But we both don’t have anyone to spend time with so, why not spend it together?” He didn’t wait to throw his arm again over my shoulder.

“Spend the time with my bully? No, thanks.” I stepped away, pushing away his arm.

“But I thought I apologized and you forgave me for.” He wasn’t backing down from placing his arm over my shoulders like we were childhood best friends.

“Yeah, that was before you played me and left me alone in the park where I almost got r*ped. Thank you.” I scoffed and pushed him away from me so he wouldn’t touch me again.
