Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ All's fair in Love and War ❯ Playing Nice ( One-Shot )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
She looked at me with a disgusted look on her face, the one she wore just a few weeks prior, when I had made my awkward apperance. "I dont know what the hell your deal is but you need to get over it. im not talking shit about you.'' She spat out bitterly.

I laughed to myself, ''I've been hearing differently." I kept my eyes locked on hers. "Who are you hearing this from?" She sounded slightly frustrated, as she played with a strand of her hair.

"Katie," I replied simply, a slight smirk adorned my face. She laughed, more so to herself. "Okay im glad you discuss this with a freshman. You and him broke up almost three months ago. He wants nothing to do with you so leave him and me alone." She prop up herself on the wall.

I shrugged my shoulders. I had to admit she was a fiesty one, maybe thats why he like her so much. I inspected my fingernails, bored. I really wasn't here to fight, just to make a point. "Whatever... I just think if you wanna call me a bitch, a stalker, or whatever your calling me I'd appreciate you say it to my face."

She rolled her eyes. Rather amusing to watch, she was more amusing when pissed off. "Im not trying to start shit." Her voice held anger. "I dont even know you. You were the one who called him begging to pick you up and then you showed up at his house. Thats not cool. im sure you'd feel the same way." Spoken like a teenager, I mused to myself.

I sighed, "Okay, yes, I called him and asked if he could come and pick me up that night, no one else was able to... I'll admit that a was a stupid choice on my part." I paused, taking a small breath before I continued. "And I asked him if I could come over on the night of the bonfire and he said sure. I didnt just show up out of the blue. I get it, he loves you, and really, Im fine with that. I just think its unfair calling me names. I'm dont know why I'm a bitch when the only thing I wanted was to keep the friendship... I can see he's happier with you now."

She shifted her eyes to something across the room. She must've gotten tried of looking at me, which was fine. "I never called you a bitch, this whole thing is dumb. I dont know you at all." She had one thing right there.

"Then I apologize..." I said nicely as I could, not that she really deserved my kindness.

"Im not going to say its fine because its not. we dont know each other. its just childish. its done and over." Yet she was the one who had started this whole conversation when all I came to do was apologize and leave. I could tell there was no making any improvement with her. I figured I had wasted enough time tying to patch things up.

"Okay," And with that I turned away from her and made my way to the front door, bidding Maddie goodnight as I walked out the door into the chilly November night.
