Pretending To Be Ugly

I can't believe Brad was walking me to my dorm. Like what on earth happened to him. And I knew the group wasn't here Cuz Blake's car isn't in the parking lot.

"Kate. Why have you been wearing a fat suit all along?" He asked irritated.

"I hate attention Brad! I had to! Its-" I was cut off.
"You didn't have to!! The fact that you think you should pisses me off!" He raised his voice a little.
"Brad I needed a scholarship!"
"Doesn't mean you should me wearing a fat suit and put freaking braces on and dye your hair orange!" He exclaimed irritated.
"I know... it's just that I panicked and that I was depressed and..." I was heavily breathing. I was about to talk but everything went black.

"Kate...katy...honey wake up!!" He said as he nudged my shoulder. Wait. Did he just call me honey? I woke up and saw him nudging me while I was laying down on my bed.
"Your awake! Thank god I didn't know wht to do... and umm. I got you pasta.. I thought if you sniffed it you might wake up... which you actually did" he chuckled shyly.
"What happened? And I can't believe you git me pasta" I laughed.
"Shut up" he chuckled. "I was walking you to your dorm till you were talking about how you panicked and got depressed. You started breathing heavily till you fainted. This is the second time I carried you by the way." He smirked and handed me the warm pasta.

"Are you ok?" He asked concerned
"Yeah it's just that I have asthma and when I panicked I sometimes faint"
"Why did you have to do that in high school?" He asked.
Should I tell him why? I don't know if I should trust him.
"Well it started when when I had a boyfriend... Mark. We used to hang out a lot till some guys started fighting over me. They made bets, fights, and arguments. On May 30th a group of guys came to mark" I started shivering and catching my breath. "They.. They.. Started beating him... He bled to death" I started crying. Brad started rubbing my back "and then they went to jail... They still are now. And on the second year of high school I had a gay best friend. Everyone though he was faking it. And on February 18th a boy slaughtered him. Brad I was so scared that if I had another friend, they'd be dead too." I started crying on his shoulder. "That's why I did all of this. I had to change completely. Brad I tried everything! This is the only way I got no attention..." I said as I noticed Brad wiping the tears off my face.
"Shh.. Calm down it's going to be okay" he said and hugged me.
"I hope it won't happen again" I said catching my breath.
"It won't" he reassured me.
"Where are they?" I asked.
"They said they're going to be late. It's 5:28 so it's not that bad.. Want to get ice cream? Cuz I don't know what girls want when they're upset.." He blushed embarrassed.
"That would be perfect" I smiled .

We drove to Baskin Robbins and started picking some flavours.
"What would you like to get sir?" The worker asked a man.
"Her" he pointed at me.
Brad squeezed my hand and held it firmly.
"I'm sorry but, no girl should be treated that way" Brad spoke to him in a matter of factly.
"Oh really and who are you?" The man said challenging
"I'm her boyfriend got a problem with that?" Brad challenged back.
The man didn't say anything.
"Next time don't EVER creep on a girl! Especially when she's minding her own damn business!" Brad said sternly and just gave me a smile like nothing happened.
"What would you like Hun?" Brad asked me cutely.
"You are such a loser" I chuckled.
"Just play along with it" he whispered in my ear.
"Okay... I'd like the mint chocolate chip!"I said happily.
"Yea and I'll get the cookie dough" Brad smiled sweetly.
"You guys make a cute couple" a worker murmured.
"I'm sorry what I didn't quite hear you there" Brad said with a smile.
"I said. You guys make a very cute couple!" She smiled.
"Oh thanks we get that a lot" Brad smirked.
"Okay that would be $5.44" the worker said.
I grabbed my wallet to see Brad staring at me as if I held a gun.
"What?" I asked dumbfounded.
"Do you really think I'm going to let you pay?" He laughed.
"Well yeah. C'mon I already spent 5,000 dollars on your money and-" I was cut off when I saw him hand the money.
"Brad!" I creamed a little and he just laughed.
