Mock relationship
Melina sat under the stairs by the exit door as she felt alone in the world and wasn't really handling life to well right now. She was confused on what was going on with her as the simple jest of one pervert really rattled her.
She knew the girls in that class though she would be a spaz as she was the weirdo that when it came to projects she did them alone. The joke wasn't really anything to get upset about but the third degree of her sexuality was what triggered her.
You could say Melina was all intentionally A sexual. She didn't like boys nor girls in fact she barely liked herself. She rubbed her face as memories of whispers in the dark flooded her and voices she thought she suppressed long ago flooded her memories.
The simple thoughts of being inappropriately touched against her will, Scarlett, Paula's resentment towards her, Dana's purposely sleeping with Chad to hurt her . Ashleigh taunting her to be a lesbian and a river crosser . Jason beating on Kimberly. I was all beginning to add up inside of her as she was a nervous wreck .
Girls were never nice to her even though she never really did anything to them. But guys were worse as all they saw a land not conquered . She heard the bell ring letting out the class as she opened the back door and took a walk no caring she needed to go to her next class. She needed to think.
Joey didn't take girly classes so she couldn't be next to him. Melina just layed down on the cold pavement and spread out her arms and legs feeling to cold eas of the concrete as she closed her eyes to make all the sounds in her head stop. She sounded out footsteps from the gym class as people ran around here .
" Are you okay? Ummm. Do you need help or something." Said a familiar voice as I looked up to see Chad standing over me as I happen to catch the lining of his package as he was free balling in gym shorts and knee high dickies socks. Melina adverted her eyes from the appendage as she sat up as others ran around making rude comments.
" Nope. I was just cooling off." Melina said standing up and dusting herself off.
" Laying on the track." He said as Melina nodded her head .
" Yep. Got to go. Class awaits. I will see ya later umm." Melina said as not only was she laying on the hard pavement during boys gym class but Chad was the one who approached her. She looked at his package as she now felt like the pervert as she looked up his shorts.
You could say she was shy about silently violating his privates .
" Mel! ' he yelled but Melina disappeared into the side door as she rushed to get to her next class as she was already late and the teacher was infamous for locking late students outside. Earlier that year Melina secured a year hall pass as the teachers hated to be bothered in class especially from snot nose kids that showed up teachers.
Melina slid in class fifteen minutes after as she waved the pass ." Sorry had to take a huge shit it was burritos and it didn't wait for me." Melina said as the class gasped at the crude description of her stomach issues.
Joey eye balled me as he crossed his arms and raised his eye brows as Melina knew this was his way of saying where were you? As joey walked her to every one of her classes and Melina wasn't in class when he came to collect her.
" Aren't you two the cutest ." Remarked a girl who always liked Joey but he didn't give her the time of day because Joey remembered her making fun of Melina in fifth grade.
" He saved her a seat and all." Said the girl in an envious tone.
" It's assigned seats." Joey said as he really lucked out being assigned next to Melina by last names as his was an L and Melina was an M.
" Still sweet you two make a cute couple." Said the girl as she ignored Joey now as Melina shot her a stupid look. Melina and Joey were even a couple.
" Isn't it nice Joey was nice enough to make Melina his charity case. I know if I had to tolerate a McNally I would just die." Smirked the girl as Melina saw red .
" That can be arranged." Growled Melina as joey laced his fingers in Melina's as pulled her into the seat beside him as he refused to let got holding her hands. The girl rolled her eyes.
" Melina isnt my charity. I actually like her and she is a better person than you will ever be. So why don't you pick on someone who cares what you say." Said joey as he pulled Melina closer.
Joey held melina's hand until the end of class as he felt protective over her. He walked her to her locker as he still didn't release her hand.
" You know you can let go of my hand. No one is watching anymore." Melina said as joey dropped the pretenses .
" You know we would make a cute couple. Not that I'm agreeing with her but it is true." He said leaning against the lockers towering over Melina. Melina blinked at him in disbelief.
" No we wouldn't. That would be disasterious . You don't like me like that." Said Melina grabbing her books for the next class.
" What if I did you know like you like that?" Joey said taking melina's books to hold.
" Oh your actually serious like dead serious about this?" Melina said feeling awkward as she wanted to go and hide somewhere to be anywhere but in this moment.
" I think I am." He said as he studied her in their own small bubble they were creating.
" Well that's sounds reassuring. Joey you don't like me you like the idea of me. I'm safe to your standards. Not safe as in I might stab you later kind of safe. " Said Melina trying to convince him more than herself this wouldn't work.
" It's because your safe is the reason I think I would like to try ." He replied as he waited for an answer that Melina was reluctant to give but it was Joey . He was more hers then any other guy she looked at. She really didn't see him as cute or well romantic per say it was more of a comfortable friendship that happened.
Melina was more afraid it would ruin their friendship if she did let them try to be more than their current situation.
" Okay well let's say we have a mock relationship. Mock dating and see where it goes . Don't blame me if you fall for me." Melina said as joey let out a laugh and rapped his arms around her . Melina froze at the subtle difference of the hug earlier and the hug now.
" Speaking of mock tryouts. Might I ask why did you challenge Brittany to cheerleading tryouts for varsity tryout this summer. Oh yes I heard about that . What were you thinking. You hate preppy girls and fake voices." Asked Joey as Melina rolled her eyes as she meant it as a joke in the heat of the moment at the hype of fighting Brittany in the gym.
But now it was out there and her signing up was really more bravado rather than seriousness. Joey walked her to the cafeteria as he rapped his arm around her looking proud she was his girlfriend now. Chad sat at the table behind them looking a little out of place as it wasn't his usual table .
Melina could feel him staring at her as she looked over her shoulder to meet his eyes only a foot behind her . He looked at her and she looked at him as joey pulled her closer and she turned around breaking their silent connection.
