Captive

“So Ella how has your day been going?” Jace questions me. Before I can even answer him Maya furiously says “you shouldn’t be here Jace, why don’t you leave?”

 “Well maybe I don’t want to Maya, what are you gonna do about it?” 

 I see how Maya rapidly stands up, and leaves the table to escape to the bathroom. All of her friends follow, and so do I. As soon as we get to the bathroom Maya starts crying. Shit. What am I supposed to do in moments like this? I mean I’m freaking new! I just met her today, and there’s already drama? Am I supposed to consulate her when I don’t even know her yet?

“It’s just so hard seeing him” I overhear Maya tell one her friends. “I know May, I know, it’s ok”

 The bell rings and it’s time to head back to class. Maya cleans herself up, and I walk her to her locker.

 “I know you must be so confused right now, you just got here and you already have seen me cry, that’s sad” she laughs it out. “Why don’t you come over to my place later? After class I mean… that way you can meet the girls and I can explain to you what that cafeteria drama was all about”

 “Sure I’d love to” I honestly have to say, I’m happy she’s inviting me over, her friends totally feel like the group of people I can hang out with right now. It would be very nice to actually get to know them.

 I call my mom and tell her my after school plans “ I’m so glad your making friends so quickly! Of course you can go dear” of course you’re happy mom.

 I have to say the 3 hours after recess were definitely the longest ones. I’m guessing it’s because I’m full of anxiety. 

 Finally, the first day of school was over and honestly it wasn’t so bad, except for the fact that the only real friend I made today had a break down in the bathroom and I didn’t even know why…Oh, and also that hot guy that got your eye might be the reason behind it, he’s also a jackass girl player, I subconscious reminds me.

 When we arrive to Maya’s house I was left literally speechless. It’s like a perfect freaking mansion: the type where you can have the best parties, the best sleepovers, the best workouts, and the best of the best whatever. How is this girl so, so nice? But has so, so much? And still chooses to show none. These types of people are my favorite.

 After having lunch like a princess, I was finally able to learn the 3 cheerleaders names: Brenda, Isadora, and Katherine. After this, we finally got to the point were they started telling me Mayas story…

 “Well I don’t know were to begin… but for some reason I feel like you’re a trustworthy person, so I’m choosing to trust you, and I hope you can keep this between us” Maya tells me.

 “I was the secret keeper back in my other school, some of my friends used to say ‘ you’re like a wall that swallows it all ’, so I assure you that you can trust me” I say and all 5 of us laugh it out. 

“Okay, well… you know Jace, the hot guy that sat on our table in recess…” how could I not remember “… 2 years back he was the love of my life. I was new to school just like you, and everyone kept telling me to stay away from him, that he was bad, they just kept saying that because they couldn’t have him, but I, I knew I could. It’s like we felt and instant connection right when I first looked at him. I knew that that moment, he wanted me, as much as I wanted him.

He was the soccer team’s captain, so that’s when I decided to become a cheerleader… for him. That’s when I got to know him, to see what a deep person he could really be only if you paid enough attention. He made me see life in a way that I never I had. Every single girl was jealous of me; because I could do what all of them hoped to do, make him good. Make a bad guy be good just for them. We were perfect, literally like in the movies. We had a love that I still hope to have sometime in my future.

When things were better than ever, that’s when he left. Summer arrived, and one day he just took off, and never said why. He never gave me a single explain of why he left me like that… broken.

The next school year began, and he wouldn’t say a word to my face. He had changed. He would walk on the hallway with two sluts around his arms, kissing them and grabbing their asses in front of the whole school.

One day the school principal stopped him and threatened him that if he continued like that, he would be expulsed from the school. That is the only reason why he stopped. But in parties and stuff, you can still always see him with whores all over him. That idiot broke me. ”

 Ouch.
