Living With The Bad Boy

“Hey Zoe”I said approaching her but she shut her locker on me and walked away.

“Hey why are you ignoring me!”I yelled, running after her.

“Because i no longer wanna be friends with self obsessed and selfish people like you who always makes themselves the center of attention all the time, you always complain about Alex being full of himself but guess what? you’re both alike in every way possible and you’re both self obsessed and greedy, you don’t ever care about what others think, all you care about is yourself!”She said.

“Hey Zoe, why are you talking to me in this manner?”I asked calmly.

“Because that’s exactly what you are but i don’t think you’ll ever understand that fact”She said, walking away.

Great! now even my friend has turned up against me.

“Hey Liv, what happened, why did Zoe walk away like that?”Jane asked, running up to catch up with me.

“I don’t know, she’s probably still angry with me about yesterday”I said.

“Oh that, don’t worry I’ll talk to her, I know her anger is just temporary, just let her be for the time being”She said.

“I guess you’re right”I smiled weakly.

“Come on, let’s go to class”She said, pulling me along with her as we went over to our classroom.

For the first time since the past one year I’ve known Zoey, i saw hee sitting across the classroom with Sabrina and some other girls.

“Don’t worry about it Liv, she’s probably just acting in accordance to her anger, it’ll subside soon okay?”Jane assured but i wasn’t satisfied with what she said.

Something about Zoey’s behavior was off and i wasn’t about to loose my closest friend because of some dumb pointless argument, we’ve had our issues in the past but it never got this ugly to an extent that she doesn’t wanna sit with me anymore.

I stood up and marched over to hee new seat, i pulled her up and dragging her out of the classroom with her screaming loudly for me to let her gom She struggled against my grip but i wasn’t listening to her screams as i took her to our usual hangout, Jane came running behind us and then i shut the door close facing Zoey.

“What the actual hell?”She yelled, folding her arms

“Look Zoe, i know you’re still angry at me for yesterday and I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you, i know i can be annoying and authoritative most of the time but i wouldn’t ever wanna loose my best friend over such a trivial matter”I said.

“Trivial? you call it trivial? look Liv, I’ve had just about enough of your nonsense, you always keep blaming things on others and you keep acting like your opinion is the only thing that should ever matter, i always keep quiet because i don’t wanna ruin our friendship but it’s high time i let you know that this behavior of yours is intolerable and unacceptable”She yelled.

“I said I’m sorry”I said.

“No you’re not sorry, you always do this, you’ll keep doing it because it’s in your nature to feel untop” She yelled.

“Hey come on babe, she said she’s sorry already, why do you have to prolong the issue?”Jane cut in.

“Prolong the issue? I’m only stating the obvious here, she has to know that i strongly disagree with her behavior and i honestly don’t accept it anymore”Zoey said.

“But she’s already apologized hasn’t she? what’s wrong with you Zoe?”Jane asked.

“You know what? fine then, do as you please, i don’t care”I said, leaving the room making sure to slam the door shut behind me.

As i was on my way down the hall i bumped into Cade who was glaring at me.

“What?”I asked furiously, pushing him away from my way as i walked past him but he yanked me back to face him.

“Not so fast”He said.

“Haven’t you learned already to stop disturbing me? seems like the beating i gave you last time wasn’t enough, you want more right?”I said angrily.

“Hey hey hey, calm down, I’m not here to batter words with you, i only wanted to apologize”He said.

“Apologize?”I asked.

“Yeah, i guess i was wrong to have forced myself on you, I’m not that kind of a guy and I’m sorry”He said to my surprise.

“Whoa, i didn’t expect this”I said surprisedly.

“I know, I’m sorry okay?”He said.

“It’s alright, I’m also sorry for not keeping my part of the deal, all i wanted at that time was to get back at Alex for what he did, I’m sorry for fooling you”I said.

“It’s okay, so…… friends?”He stretched forth his arms and i stared at it blankly, eyeing him wearily and unsurely.

“Um……”I started.

“Common Liv, just friends, i promise i won’t do anything stupid again, and if i do i know you’ll put me back in my place”He teased.

“Fine, friends we are”I said.

“So…. my new friend, can i know what’s bothering you? Why did you look so furious a while ago?”He asked.

“Just some issues with my friend”I said as we walked down the hall.

“Let me guess, you guys had a fight”He said.

“Yeah and it wasn’t funny this time”I said.

“Mind telling me the problem? i might be of some help you know”He shrugged.

“No don’t bother yourself, I’m cool”I said.

“Come on Olivia, don’t be so stubborn, just tell me what happened”He said.

“I said it’s nothing, I’m good, don’t worry yourself”I said, walking further away from him but he caught up with me just in time.

“Fine then, if you say so, i hope that whatever it is, you solve it soon, it’s not nice to have issues with your friends, I’ve seen you guys friendship and i know you guys can’t do without each other so try to apologize whether or not you’re the one at fault”He said.

“I tried that already but it was of no use”I sighed.

“Then try again, i have a suggestion”He winked.

“What?”I asked, staring blankly at him.

I pulled over at Zoey’s driveway, turning off my ignition, i got out of the car and walked majestically towards hee front door. I pressed the door bell and within few minutes her nanny came opening the door, smiling sweetly at me.

“Hey Matilda”I greeted.

“Hey Sweetie, Zoe is not at home”She said and i could see the hesitation in her voice.

“Sure” I smirked and walked past her into the big mansion, i walked up to Zoey’s room with Matilda following behind me.

“I said she isn’t at home”Matilda said running after me.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“And i heard you”I said as i arrived at Zoey’s room, i knocked on the door and Zoey’s voice came responding from the other side of the door.

“I’m not home!”She yelled and i chuckled, pulling the door open as i went in to see Zoey curled up on her bed with her pillow.

I heard Matilda mouth ‘I tried my best’ and then i smiled at her, waving her off.

I walked over to Zoey who was still on her bed staring at me void of emotion.

“Hey Zoey, stop being pathetic already”I said as i sat down beside her.

“Go away, I don’t wanna talk to you”She pouted like a 2 year old and i chuckled slightly.

“Are you still angry with me?”I asked.

“Yes” She said and i smiled at her.

“Well i don’t think you’ll still be angry when you see what i got for you” I said, pulling out a paper bag from my backpack as i handed it over to her.

“What’s this?” She asked as she took a peep into the bag and then gasped in shock.

It was a glass shoe she has always wanted, I had ordered it and payed three times the price to get it delivered all the way from germany.

“OMG Liv, you got it for me”She squealed excitedly hugging me.

“Does that mean I’m forgiven?”I winked.

“2%”She giggled.

“2%? why two percent?” I pouted.

“Because you took so long to come to me, i was waiting all day for you to come and apologize but you didn’t come” She whined.

“Oh so this was your plan? what if i hadn’t come?” I asked.

“I knew you would, you love me that much”She teased.

“Okay yeah yeah, you should actually give all credits to Cade, he’s the one that brought up the idea, he said i should get you something i knew you wouldn’t resist so i ordered this shoe all the way from germany, paying triple the price and shipping fee to get it delivered today” I said.

“Awwn, you’re such a darling, but wait, Cade?”She furrowed her eyebrows.

“Yep, long story”I said.

“Tell me all about it”She said “In detail”She added and i told her everything as she kept laughing.

I knew i had my best friend back, just few hours of not talking to her got me so worked up.

“I missed you”She pouted.

“I missed you more”I said and she hugged me.

“Hey don’t ever do this again or else I’ll break your Jaw”I warned teasingly and we both laughed.
