I was outside the auditorium near the door when I heard the men laughing. I turned and saw them in bleachers lying around as if they were already done basketball.
I smiled to see Clinton turn around and the others hadn't seen me yet because I was still downstairs. I took a step up the stairs.
"Damn dude! It's been five months! Congrats!" said a man I knew by the name of Brandon.
"Yeah, we lose the bet dude. Clinton is already on first base. " Rad replied.
I was stunned by what they said. Everything seemed like a puzzle in my mind.
"Shut up." I heard Clinton's cold voice.
They laughed. "What? You’ve bet?" can't believe Sebe says.
"Yeah." one of their companions laughed. I stumbled. My world seemed to crumble at what I heard.
I stepped even further up with trembling legs.
"So what's your plan with Kylie Clinton?" I heard Sebe asked.
I let go of the gatorade I was carrying which created a noise at the same time they looked at me which they all stunned.
"Shit." Sebe cursed.
"We’re screwed." Rad also turned pale.
"Nicole." Clinton gasped and stood up but before I could get close I ran away.
Because I felt like I had lost my strength and my vision was blurred, my running was impaired. I felt someone held my arms.
"Baby let me explain."
I violently confronted him and slapped him!
"Baby your face!"
He is blurred in my sight because of my tears. Like now. . .we are blurred.Our releationship is blurred.
His jaw tightened and his cheeks blushed. He looked at me pleadingly.
"You got it wrong." He said.
"Wrong ?!" I mocked. "I heard that very clearly! You just bet me?" I don't have a care if there are a lot of people watching! I don't have a care if I cry, shamelessly in front of them!
He bowed and nodded. His face and eyes were red. I was depressed when he nodded.
"Everything you showed was just a pretense, isn't it ?!" I scolded."All of it was fake !!" my tears continued to flow. I saw his fist clench and he would have hugged me but I backed away.
"Clinton! If you wanted a game, it would be the others! I hope I have a family! I hope I have someone to lean on! Because I don't have one!"
In an instant he hugged me and wrapped his arms around me.
"I am your family baby. Please let me explain."
I pushed him with all my might and slapped him again.
"End of the show Clinton. Don't pretend anymore! Don't act like you care!" I wiped away my tears and bravely faced him.
I am tired of my life. I'm tired of my life! I'm tired of crying!
"Don't worry. It's not too deep yet. I haven't loved you very much yet. We’re not even married . I can still forget you and find a better man. I hope you're happy."
I immediately turned my back on him and heard the trash can crash. I know Clinton did that.
I'm tired of everything. I walked up and wiped away my tears.
