I'm Straight...

Amelia

These three weeks without Max has been really tough. I've been avoiding her like crazy. I was power walking to my class when I bumped into someone. We both dropped our books. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." I said. I picked up her books and I heard "Amelia" FUCK. I just froze. We bent down and we were face to face "Why are you running from me." I cleared my throat "I'm not." I stood up with my books and she did the same. "Meet me here at lunch. We need to talk" I looked at the ground "Please" I nodded before slowly walking to class.

Once I got there I saw that we had a substitute. That rarely happens but people just sat wherever they wanted to. I sat in a random desk by myself. All the desks were doubles and usually Annie sits next to me but class didn't technically start for another ten minutes so she's not here yet. Someone sat down. I quickly looked over and I saw a green eyed blonde sitting next to me. It was weird that I found her attractive solely because she reminded me of Max. "Hi" I said softly

"Hey. I'm Spencer. You're the beau from dorm C. I've seen you around a lot but I wanted to catch you while you were alone." I nodded softly and it got awkward "I'm sorry if you're not liking this, I probably freaked you out." I gently touched her hand "No I just...I just went through a breakup with my girlfriend and she kinda looked like you a bit so I find you really attractive. And I'm just so awkward and it's really unattractive. I'm sorry" I just got quiet and she grinned "Honestly I find it really cute. Do you like it here."

"Recently I haven't but I think it'll get better. That's just because of my situation which I just overshared." Spencer and I spoke for a little while. It was actually really nice talking to her. "Ok, now that we're comfortable, tell me how much of a chance I have. Like this other girl...do you think you guys are getting back together" I sighed and said "I don't know. I'm pretty upset with her. But knowing her...and me, we'll get back together" she looked a little sad "I want to see her now" I quickly shook my head "No, I don't need that to happen" she looked confused. I really hope that doesn't happen

It was around lunchtime, Spencer and I were walking. "That's not true" I nodded and she sighed "That is messed up. That Frankie dude is an ass" I chuckled and said "Yes but we're ok now." I then heard "Amelia" I looked and I saw Max sitting on the bench. "Is that her" Spencer whispered. Max stood up and walked over "Damn she's tall" I nudged her. Once we got face to face she said "what happened to meeting at lunch" shit I forgot about that.

"Sorry...this is Spencer. We met today and we were talking and I just lost track of time." I could see the hurt she was hiding. "You're very pretty. Much prettier than I was hoping" Spencer said while rubbing her neck "Yeah, being pretty is my job. I'm a model...Amelia are you ready to go." I looked at Spencer and she said "Right, can I have your number. For um...class" I nodded. I gave her my number then she left.

Max and I walked together and it was silent "what did you want to talk about." She opened her mouth to say something but no words came out. I saw her eyes water and I pulled her into a small pocket between two of the buildings. "Max I met her today" she covered her eyes "I'm really sorry. I'm being really selfish right now." I folded my arms and said "You broke up with me Max. And I wasn't even doing anything. We were having a normal conversation" she nodded softly and said "We started with a normal conversation too" I just stared at her

"I just...I trusted you Max. Not only with my heart but with my body too and that is so important to me. And you knew how scared I was but you still left. And you left because I wasn't in the mood. I admit that at times sex isn't the first thing on my mind but what you did. You broke up everything that we had and now you're crying about it." She just looked off to the other buildings. "Bye Max" I left.
