I didn’t like her attitude, but then she had a shit day.
As I approached her, she blurted out.
“You know the thing that gets me the most, I can take that shit from Amanda and her stupid clones, but you. I mean I would have thought better of you.”
“What?”
“Kiara, you just stood there. You didn’t defend me, and then one time I saw you asking to see someone’s phone so that you could see the video. I thought we were friends.”
Her accusations shocked me, because I thought the same thing too. I walked past her to face her, wondering if this was all a dream, or if I was hearing her rightly? She really thought that this was my fault. I waited two hours for her to come out, made sure that she had shoes. Now, it hit me, when she said to me friend, she was being sarcastic. She didn’t think of me as a bestie, let alone a friend, she thought of me as being no better than Amanda.
“I thought that too.”
“Thanks for the shoes, but I’m going to spend the night with Tom.”
What the heck?
Where was Tom in all this?
If he was such a great guy, if they both were, why didn’t they do something. She shifted past me, as if I was a piece of trash on the sidewalk, and then carried on walking in the opposite direction. I stood staring at the space that she once occupied, wondering if this was all part of my imagination.
Did she really come out of the campus security office to have a fight with me?
After waiting for her to come back, and the realization hit me, that it really happened, as I headed to the dorm, thinking about the past few minutes and wondering what did I really do wrong?
I didn’t remember being a terrible friend, but asking her to stop. Trying to get her to let go of Amanda, and then waiting at the damn security. She was so fucking ungrateful; I was so upset by her words and actions. I slumped on the lawn outside of the dorm not feeling the need to go inside. I realized maybe she was right; I did nothing to help her.
What could I have done?
According to Lucy save her honor, that was pretty hard when she was too busy throwing punches at Amanda.
