BAD GIRL
On my way home, I thought about Sal and how I liked everytime she touched me. I might love Semm but I love what Sal does to me equally.
I got home while deep in thought but the first thing I noticed was Dad standing Infront of the house looking furious. I wondered what was wrong and rushed to his side. I hoped it wasn't about mom.
Me: Dad, what is the matter? You look so angry. Did you and mom argue again?
Dad: Where are you coming from, young lady?
Me: School, Dad. You know I go to school .
Dad: you close from school at 8pm?
Me: It's 8:00pm now?
Dad: Are you playing with my intelligence?
Me: Actually...
Dad: Where were you? the truth!
Me:..
Dad: Since you won't talk, I will.
Mrs Smith saw you at the park and she said , and I quote, "your little girl is so big now that she goes around kissing at the park".
Me: What? Dad, it's not true.
Dad: She also saw that boy come to the house and leave not long before I got back from my trip the other day. A boy in the house with my daughter alone!!! I told you to never be alone with a guy anywhere, and especially not in my house! Did I not make myself clear then?
Me: Dad, nothing happened.
Dad: shut up! You spoilt brat. you bad girl. Who taught you how to disobey me? And And entertain a boy in my HOUSE, in my absence. I definitely spoiled you.
Me: Dad, please..
Dad: To make things worse, you feel you are a big girl and go about kissing in public?
Me: Dad...
KPAAIII!!! ( Dad slapped me,in the face!).
Get in the house.
Me: Dad, you slapped me..
Dad: Get in that house and you are grounded.
Me: But Dad..
Dad: you will be grounded for the rest of your life if you provoke me. No boyfriend, no friends, no parties, no fun! Nothing! More importantly, no calls. I will drive you to school and come pick you after school myself. Your social life is dead young lady. Get in the house!.
I walked in, fuming with rage and crying amidst. That stupid Mrs Smith was the worst. Let me tell you about her. She was one of those classic no good gossips that lived in the neighborhood. She lived right across our house with family. Her daughter's were addicted dropouts which everyone knew about. Her husband went around sleeping with any and everyone who would let him sleep with them.
You would think she would work on making her daughter's better human beings, but then she rather went around gossiping about everyone to everyone and acting as if she was the holiest person to ever walk this earth aside Jesus. I Hated her and I am sure everyone else did too. I absolutely hoped she would choke... But not die because that would be going too far .
I got in my room and dad came for my phone. That night felt like a year. I Eventually fell asleep just to have a terrible dream in which Sal hooked up with Semm and I had to watch them make out all the time. I want to confront them but dad came and PULLED me away. Believe me, it was a terrible dream. Having the Two people I cared about hook up with each other, without me in there wasn't something I would wish upon anyone. A threesome would have been easier to swallow since I liked them both.
Thank God it was just a dream. Either ways, it got me very depressed.
Me: Dad has to pay. If I can't be happy, I will not talk to you, Dad.���
Morning never came so slow and when it did, I could not wait to get to school to not see Dad's face. I definitely didn't say bye to him when I got down from the car in front of the school.
when I got to my class, Sal was there waiting for me.
She whispered...
Sal: I am sorry about yesterday, I won't do it ever again. I should have asked permission before kissing you but You didn't have to put your phone off because I kissed you.
Me: Calm down. it's not because of you. Someone saw us kiss and told my dad.
Sal: what?
Me: Yes. Fortunately she didn't say I was kissing you but just that I was kissing in public. Dad thought it was a guy, ofcos. I am grounded. No freedom, No phone, nothing. Dad will bring me to school and take me back.
Sal: OMG I am so sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you in public.
Me: True, but it's fine We were both caught up in the moment. Let's just never do that again. Besides, I definitely don't like girls and I have Semm..
Sal: What? but you like me and I like you. Stop playing, I know you like me but you are scared. But don't be , it's perfectly normal.
Me: Ok, I know it's not a big deal but, Sal, I love Semm, you know that.
Sal: ohhhhhh, Semm, sure. That no good son of a...
Me: Stop it. I have to go see Semm now.
Sal: Oh. Yea, your boyfriend semm. Sure.
As I walked away, I could see that Sal was sad, but what could I do. Everything was already confusing.
Did I mention Semm was a senior? Yeah.
I Went to his LECTURE hall to spy, hoping to see him but instead I saw Slater.
Slater was my childhood friend. We grew up together, he was practically family. Slater told me Semm was in the science lab and asked me to come back during lunch time.
To be honest, I always felt Slater had a Crush on me but It was never mutual. I knew he was into me because he once kissed me while we played hide and seek. Not on my lips ofcos.
It was on my forehead.
Slater: Hey, so you and Semm are an item now?
Me: Yeah, lol.
Slater: Does he love you?
Me: ofcos.
Slater: So you are already letting him smash?
Me: Excuse you, that's none of your business.
Slater: I don't believe he is in love, so just slow down no matter how much you think you are in love. People make bad decisions based on emotions.
Me: Ok, that's enough! I Am leaving. And, I will pretend I didn't hear any of that.
I walked away in anger. why ?no one wanted to see me happy with Semm.. What's wrong with me being with the guy I like?
I went back to my Classroom to tell Sal what happened with Slater but she didn't seem to care or want to know. Clearly she was still angry at me for what I'd said earlier.
Me: Sal, I am sorry. I just don't want our friendship to become something it should not be. You know I love you.
Sal: Yh, but not love me love me.
Me: I am sorry.
I do love you but I just need you to understand where I am coming from. Please.
