LOVES UNEXPECTED TURN | 18+ W...

6th Grade
"Ow! Why did you just push me? Are you insane Valentina?!?"

"That's what you get for calling my friend ugly!"

8th grade

"Gosh, I just hope when you go to high school you won't have that stick far up your ass Valentina."

"Shut the fuck up before I knock your teeth out."

10th grade

"Fucking bitch! I hate you!! I hate you! Go off yourself, Robinson!"

"Aww shucks Monroe.. if you keep yelling like that, people may think you like me."

♡

   Hate is the intense feeling or passionate dislike for Thaila Robinson. It's a deep hatred that builds every day when I'm around here. She is the match to my fire and I'm ready for her to get burned. I've always gotten along with people, but for Thaila Robinson, that's one bitch I couldn't stand. She is the bane of my existence.

   I groaned as a pillow was thrown at my head. "ugh fuck you." I tell my best friend Na-Yeon Kim. "Whatever. Wake up, we have school." I roll my eyes in annoyance.

   Kim and I  have been best friends since diapers, our mother and we were best friends in high school and still are to this day, sisters.

   I sat up in the bed, running my hands through my hair as I dragged my hands down my face, feeling like a complete zombie right now, as I hate waking up for school or anything.

   I got out of bed seeing Kim was already dressed and I smiled, as she was always the more punctual one. "I'm going to go shower," I say as I grab the towel she had laid out for me as I walk into her bathroom.

♡

   Me and Kim made our way downstairs now fully dressed for school saying good morning to everyone, I would say I was pretty comfortable because I'd known Kim's family for so long, it was my second home, and as for Kim whenever she was over.

   "Yes, yogurt!" I excitedly sat down as I added the toppings. As I dug in, Kim sat down next to me as she had French toast. I had an unhealthy obsession with yogurt. Can you blame me?

   Once we finished breakfast, we helped clean up before grabbing our bags and I played rock, paper, and scissors to see who was driving.

   I lost.

   She laughed in my face and I rolled my eyes as I pushed her to the car. "Shut up, you laugh like a maniac." I say as she rolls her, "You cannot be talking Val; you sound like a dying seagull!"

   She wasn't wrong, but I flipped her off as if she was lying and she blew me a kiss. This was our friendship and I love it. I'm grateful to have her in my life. I honestly don't know what I'd do without her.

   Na-Yeon drove us to school as "Can't take my eyes off you." Played softly in the background as she glanced over at me before blurting out "SOOO, I'vebeentalkingtogenevievesterling."

   What?

   "Repeat it," I asked, and she did, but slower this time.

"Kim! Are you crazy?!?" she was talking with the enemy's best friend. "I know... I know! But she technically texted first- don't hate me." She begged as I sighed.

   "I could never hate you."

   "I like her...it's only been a few days, but I didn't want to tell you anything in case it was just me making something up in my mind. But I like her."

   I looked at my doe-eyed friend as her pupils dilated as she spoke about the girl, and I knew this was real for her.

   "I'd never stop you from talking to someone Na... I love you and I can see your falling; the heart wants what the heart wants." I say, smiling as she grabs onto my hand.

   "I know... and it was just killing me, not telling you. I love you so much and I'd never want to keep something from you. But thank you!"

   I smiled at my best friend as she happily hummed. I couldn't be the one who stepped in and ruined her happiness. If that's what she wanted, then who am I to stop her, though Thaila better keep her fucking distance if they date?

   We made it to school in one piece. We walked over to our lockers. Kim was telling me all about what we were supposed to be getting for this extensive project in Photography Class.

   That was one of my favorite classes, so I honestly didn't mind. I love taking photos and it was a pretty easy class. I heard the bell ring. Kim and I walked to our first class together since it was our first period.

   The day went on as slowly as possible as I could feel my energy being drained from my body with each passing hour... Made me wonder how anyone loved school.

   Fucking Stupid

   My Photography class was the last class of the day and I walked in sitting in the middle section of the class as the kids slowly piled one of these kids being the one and only Thaila.

   The final bell rang, and Ms Anya told the class to quiet down as she began explaining how we had a project that was due by the end of the year which would be our final grade for her class, It was a two-person project to help us branch out with different people in our class, and the basics was that we were going each document the other person's life.

   Not in some weird, perverted way, just simple things that do too really help showcase the person's life through the pictures and video. It was fun and didn't hate that idea.

   Ms Anya of course then said she would be picking partners to avoid friends picking each other.

   The entire class let a groan in unison as I sighed, knowing me and Kim wouldn't get picked together.

   Ms Anya began calling out names. Kim smiled as she got paired up with Genevieve. I smiled to see Kim visibly getting excited as she was sitting at the table in front of us, turning around and smiling at Kim.

   I can see it. Them together.

   Then my name was called and I couldn't help but choke on absolutely anything but the air caught in my throat.

   I see her name before I hear it.

   "Valentina Monroe and Thalia Robinson," Ms. Anya says, too calm for what she's just done.

   There's a pause—one of those thick, heavy silences. The kind that hums with electricity. The kind you could cut with a knife.

   I could feel all the color drain from my face. Then she turned around to face me, mockingly smirking at me.

   "Fuck. You." My mouth returned the smirk.

   "You. Wish." All she said before turning her head back around before I could even say anything, causing her to get the last word.

   "Nope," I mutter loudly.

   "Excuse me?" Ms. Anya tilts her head, ever the queen of passive-aggressive.

   "No thank you. Pick someone else."

    The class snickers. I hear a fake gasp—probably Na-Yeon being dramatic in support. I don't care. I am not spending the next few with her.

   Kim held my hand as I groaned, putting my head down as I tried my best not to explode into thin air, but now that I say that, exploding into thin air doesn't sound bad right now.

   "Enough," Ms. Anya says, clapping her hands once.

   "You two are working together. Final. I expect a three-minute presentation and a full photo series by the end of the month. Consider this... a creative challenge."

   Creative challenge, my ass.

   The class went on, but the urge to jump out of a window got bigger and bigger with each passing minute.

   Then my teacher said the last 10 minutes of class we'd get with our partners to do an icebreaker with one another and we would describe our partner in 3 words.

   I griped into Kim's dress as I begged for her to stay. "Kim, please, I beg of you! Please," I say and she rolls her eyes at me.

   "Val, put on your big girl panties please, and let go. You know if I could I would stay, but I can't. I'm positive you'll survive."

   I let go.

   She smiled and kissed me on the cheek.

   I watched as she got up, walking two steps away to the desk in front of me as the devil herself sat down next to me.

   "Let's get this over with," the devil says.

   We used to sit side by side like this. In art camp. Before she disappeared for two years and came back with sharper eyeliner and even sharper words. Before she made it her life's mission to ruin mine.

   And now? Now we're a photography duo. One lens. Two girls who would rather walk barefoot across Legos than spend time together.

   "Let's get something straight," I say, not looking at her. "You do your half. I do mine. No talking. No bonding. No—"

   "—feelings?" she cuts in, smirking. "Scared of catching any?"

   I turn and look her dead in the eye.

   "You are quite a pain in the ass, Thalia, like how do you even live with yourself? Sadly, I can't do anything about you being my partner, so you'll come over to my house so that way we can get this project started because if I'm around for one more second, I'll go insane."

   We argued the entire class period and insulted each other, but I was grateful to hear the bell bring as I grabbed my bag quickly and shoved Thaila with it.

   For Thaila, she lit a fuse under me, and I hate that she could easily set me off. One person shouldn't affect you like this.

   Kim followed after me out of the class as she joked about how that went well to lighten the mood but that did not work very well as I was still ticked off

   "I swear I'm going to choke her out" I said to my best friend as we walked to the student parking.

   "I hope you guys realize that this hate is misguided and you both have a lot of sexual tension between the two of you."

   I felt the slight beat of my heart quicken by Na-Yeon words. That will and never happen between us, I hate her and she hates me that's just how it goes...nothing more nothing less.

   "Please don't say crap like that, I might actually die from heart attack at the thought of ever being romantic with Thaila."

   She just laughed. "Sure. Just let me know when one of you confesses, so I can say I told you so."

   We got into the car and made our over to my house as Kim was also meeting up with Genevieve for maybe a project and no project-related things. "I'll talk to you later!" I said as I got out of the car and made my way into my house. The house smelled amazing. "I'm home, momma!"

   I yelled as I walked to the kitchen, smiling to see she was cooking loads of stuff; I gave her a hug smiling as she looked stressed out I didn't want to bother her too much so I made my way upstairs to my room and sat down my bedroom the ground and made my way to my bathroom to start the shower as I walked into my room smiling to see cherry was on my bed.

   She was my cat, and she was the most adorable cat ever. I walked up to her and gave her some head scratches as she purred in delight.

   "Ugh, you are the cutest thing ever it's sicking! I love you." I say, giving her kisses before getting back up, and I walk into my bathroom to take a shower.

   I got changed into some shorts and a cropped shirt as I currently drying my hair. When I heard my phone ping, I got a message from Thaila wondering why she was even messaging me, and to my surprise, she said she was coming over.

   "Bro, what the fuck? No!" I say as I begin to text back telling her no she can't just come over, but she left me on read and I screamed.. literally.

   I groaned as I didn't want her to come over. The last thing I wanted was here in my house, to goodness' sake.

   I knew that she was coming over for the project but I wanted to work on it outside my home, and maybe I'm being dramatic, but I didn't want her in my house because my mom loves her.

   Both of our parents were in the same high school and college so me and we grew up together before her mom moved when she was younger and then came back during middle school.

   It sounds petty, but I've never stopped resenting her for it—we were best friends, and she left without even saying goodbye. Then she came back in middle school and acted like she didn't even know me. That's when the hate really started
