UNSPOKEN WORDS

Chapter 6

IN THE MIDDLE

Imagine going to a bookstore with limited money to spend (you can only buy one book) you walk around the bookstore trying to find a book of your interest and then, there it is! The perfect book. You read the description and say 'Well this sounds pretty good' so you decide to buy that one. When you are about to leave to pay for the book you have chosen, another book catches your eye so by curiosity you go and read the description that's when you say 'Well this one sounds good too'. So now you end up in the middle, between two books you may like to read. Well, that's how I feel right now with The Riddles. So I'm gonna ask you, if you were in my situation, who would you choose? It's a hard question huh?

I was walking down the hallway towards the forbidden forest directly to Mattheo's and I spot (which recently was more like my spot) I had some books in my hands. I was planning on reading there since it was Saturday and I haven't made any plans with Sirena.

I was about to reach my spot when I started to hear some weird sounds coming from there. I thought it was an animal that could hurt me so I hid behind a tree and listened closely.

"Mmm fuck"

That didn't sound like an animal at all. When I look to my spot I see Mattheo with his head thrown back breathing heavily, his hand grabbing a girl's head. I couldn't see who was it. But I did see Mattheo enjoying getting a blow job by this girl. I think I was getting into a private and intimate moment so I decided to turn around to leave but what I heard next made me stop immediately.

A giggle.

I know that fucking giggle. That high-pitched tone, girly faked tone. I took a deep breath and turned around. I was right Sirena was the one sucking Mattheo's dick. I felt rage, so much rage I felt my face burning and my fingers shaking by how much I was clenching my fist. I didn't hesitate and with anger, I walked toward them.

"Well, well, well, no shame on hoeing around in public now Sirena?" They both fixed their clothes and stood up. I noticed the way Mattheo held Sirena's hand (in a protective way) I rolled my eyes at the sight of it. "We didn't know you were spying on us," Mattheo says in a serious tone. As if I was the villain of the story. "I wasn't spying. It turns out your fake moans were loud." Sirena got closer to Mattheo, and he held her closer in a reassuring way. I look at Sirena. It was obvious I felt betrayed by her. My best friend.

"How could you do this to me?" She steps closer to me "You said it was okay. I thought you didn't like him" she said with worry.

I stayed in silence. That was true. I was aware Sirena wanted him. I knew how she was! She asked for my permission a long time ago and I said I was okay with it. And now I'm the one who looks like a fucking crazy bitch standing in front of them exposing how jealous I am. Then I realized I wasn't mad at her. I was mad at Mattheo. He was the one who let this happen. He was the one who held her close. He was the one acting as if he liked me one day and the other doing this with my best friend. I didn't do that to him. When I had the chance to be with Tom I thought I couldn't do that to Mattheo. And in return, I got a hand printed on my neck and saw my best friend giving him a blow job.

Fuck.

My.

Life.

I turned around and started to walk away. Fighting my tears from falling out of my eyes. The last thing I heard was Mattheo's voice saying.

"Let her be... now where were we love?." He said as if he didn't care at all about me. As if I didn't exist to him. As if all of those memories we shared in that same spot didn't matter to him anymore.

I was walking at a fast pace down the hallway I didn't see the person I collided with. I almost fell to the floor when I felt someone holding me by my waist close to his chest. When I look up I see a dark-haired boy with blue eyes. Blue like the sky on a sunny day.

"You need to be more careful," he says making me stand up straight. I brushed my hair with my fingers. And smiled "I will be sorry" he smiled "Oh no! Don't apologize! You don't need to do that" he laughed and then he looked down at the floor he leaned down and picked up my books. I forgot I had them. He gave them to me "It starts with us? Have you read the first one?" He asked casually. I nodded and said "Yes. I needed to know what happened next" he chuckled and looked at me handing me my book "I liked the second one more. But the first one had all the drama" he put his hand in his pockets and looked at me.

I felt nervous when he looked at me. He was handsome that was evident, but his staring was very penetrating. I felt like he could read me, I felt like he could decipher Every single little thing about me. I clear my throat and say "You like novels?" He nodded smiling "Indeed. I think some are very exaggerated with the love stuff. But it kinda of makes me believe in love. Just that my expectations for love are now so high. I now doubt I'd ever find love like in the books" We both laughed at his small comment. When the laughs slowly faded he stretched his hand for me to shake. (Which I did shake). "I'm Judah Snape. By the way" He says looking into my eyes "I'm Cherry Manson" he smiles and chuckles "cherry? Really?" He wanted to laugh I can tell "Yes. Really" he slowly grabbed my hand and placed a kiss on my knuckles. He stood up straight and said "I like it" he winked at me before turning around and leaving.

I stood there breathing heavily and biting my lip to prevent a big smile from appearing on my face. I looked at my book and when I was about to walk down the hall again. All the good positive feelings I had felt vanished into darkness. They were there looking at me, analyzing me. With no words, Tom and Mattheo turned around and left.

Fucking hell.
