The Perfect Two
Melanie's POV
After my little argument with Tasha yesterday, everyone kept asking me where did that confidence come from, where I got my comebacks from and if I was scared and to answer all of those questions; confidence from Dylan, comebacks from Eve, and hell I was terrified, but I don't know what went into me, I guess it was the fact that Dylan told me what happened with Tom and her.
I know Dylan doesn't like him and most of you guys probably don't either, but to me he was nice, he was always there for me and always helped me, I couldn't wish for a better friend than Tom, but I guess people do show their true-selves at some point. I was so blind and actually defended him when I was arguing with Dylan and all over nothing.
Tasha. That little bitch. I should have known it was her because she was the one threatening me all the damn time.
-Flashback-
I walk down the locker corridor to put my books away and grab some new books that I'll be needing for my next period. I open my locker being ready to put my books inside as someone comes from behind me and slams my locker door shut. I turn around with wide eyes, why would Tasha want to talk to me, or be even seen with me?
"Hey nerd!" she whisper shouts, pushing me into the locker as I wince in pain a little bit.
"I'm only going to say this once, so you better be listening as closely and as carefully as you can. You are irrelevant to my and Dylan's life. Don't you get it, you idiot? He's using you for more popularity, why else would he want to spend time with someone like you? Look at you, you barely know how to put on a chapstick, do you really think Dylan see's something special in you? He's known to be a womanizer if you must know, so since you're really clever, I'll let you figure out what he wants from you." She continued speaking coming closer and closer with every sentence she said, looking deep into my eyes, making me shiver and want to back away into the locker even more than I already was.
I don't understand though, why would Dylan use me for popularity? How could I get him popularity when I'm a no one.
"I think you got the wrong idea, I'm only helping him pass Math and Science" I hesitate to speak but then open my mouth, sounding more unsure than I wanted to.
She turns around sharply and pushes me into the blue lockers again, this time making me drop my books to the floor, "Don't play smart with me, stupid girl. I know exactly what that 'studying' is. You leave Dylan alone now, or else it won't end well. I'm the only one he should be with!" she screams in my face. This is a one crazy girl.
"B-but I promised him he'd pass-"
"I don't care what you promised him! Do you even know what he's saying about you? Oh god, you're stupider than I thought. Everyone in this school knows that he only wants to bang you and then leave you like he does with everyone else, how could you have not known that? That's the only reason he agreed to those 'study lessons' so that he can get closer to you to get into your pants and now that you know the truth you better run because that's only half of the stuff he said about you" she interrupts.
I stay stood in the same position, not blinking, almost not breathing, just frozen and not being able to move.
"Fiiine, fine, I'll tell you then, since you looking at me like that. Errm so where do I start? Oh yeah, the time where he went into your house the first time and then came back to meet us popular and cool people and told us how horrendous your house was and how weird your family is, including you. To be honest, he seemed pretty scared when he came from your house, and then relieved when he saw us normal people. Oh yeah, then he said you have a terrifying sense of humour, horrible taste in clothing and you're the ugliest person he ever met, I could go on because the list he gave us was so long, I don't remember half of the stuff he said"
As she finished talking, tears started forming in my eyes. Not that I know him very well if at all, I don't even like this guy, I just help him because teachers say I should and this is what he says behind my back? He doesn't even know me for gods sake.
-End of Flashback-
I'm sure everyone would have been hurt after hearing those cruel words, but guess who was there for me after she told me all of that? Tom. But I guess he was only there for me because he was, or still is, just as crazy as she is. It's like when they like someone, they turn into obsessed cruel beasts.
But one thing I can't believe is that he'd actually team up with her just so that Dylan would leave me alone and it almost worked, I can't believed all the lies both Tasha and Tom were hammering into my head. I'm glad that in the end we found out who it was, behind those attacks of Dylan's and etcetera. I just hope he doesn't do something stupid.
Later on I'm outside my house with Eve, telling her how it all happened while sitting on our doorstep.
"YOU SWORE?" she asked in shock and I just nod, "I know, I know. I couldn't believe it myself, I guess we really are blood related cousins" I tease and she nudges me with her elbow.
"Hashtag: Proud" she says while nodding her head at me with approval. It's kind of our inside joke, we have so many of them, like out of nowhere you'll just hear us go 'hashtag: proud' or 'hashtag: winning' if we see something really cheap, like last time we saw matching t-shirts for only four dollars with the references fries and burgers, so we obviously just had to get them.
"Hey, my name is Dylan, but you can call me your prom date" Out of nowhere I lift my head up because I was laughing from what Eve just said and see Dylan smirking down at me. "Oh hey, you're here too" he sarcastically mentions and looks at Eve and from the corner of my eye I see her roll her eyes all the way to Spain.
"Did- did you just ask me to prom?" I stutter my words out, not being sure if I actually heard him correctly. He nods and Eve gets up from our doorstep, giving me a hug, "I better leave you two alone, looks like you have a lot to discuss" she says with a slight smirk on her face.
"Eve, you don't have to go!" I shouts at her from the doorstep since she already walked out of my garden, "Actually, I do. I have a date with your friend Michael" she tells us both but looks more at Dylan then she does at me.
"Whatt? Michael goes on dates? Since when?" Dylan asks in surprise, "Since he met me, asshole" That's like her favourite word from the whole dictionary. I laugh when she says that because it's true she can be a flirt and change people. We all know what Michael's like, good ol' womanizer.
"Have fun, girl" I shout across the garden once more, waving her off and Dylan instantly pulls me closer to him after she turned her back around. "Feel my t-shirt. You know what it's made out of?" he softly asks while looking into my eyes, being very cute actually. I just glare at him, having no idea where this is going, "Prom date material" he then answers when he see's my confused face and I automatically shake my head and roll my eyes at him.
I grin while proceeding to say something stupid that I'm probably going to regret, "You must be the square root of -1, because you can't be real!" I enthusiastically say.
"You know what I think of you as? You're like a dictionary. You add meaning to my life" I feel like we about to have a pickup-line-off
"Hey, listen, I don't know what Quidditch position you play, but you look like a keeper" I wink at him like he always winks at me and I see a hint of pink coming through his skin on his cheeks. Oh my god I made him blush, someone stop me before I start squealing
"You and your nerdy stuff, princess, but I should really be calling you wi-fi because the connection between us is veeery strong" he winks back making a giggle escape my mouth, this is so lame.
"I don't know Dylan, you tell me, are you a tower? Because Eiffel for you" I cheesily say, "No, but are you a keyboard because girl, you're my type" he bites his bottom lip before smirking at me again and my heart starts melting away.
"Erm, no. But you look like google, because you have everything I'm searching for, Dylan" I softly say into his ear before hugging him and I can feel him shiver. I smile to myself, knowing I have that affect on him.
"You're so cute, it makes me wanna rearrange the alphabet and put 'U' and 'I' together" he says into the crook of my neck and I laugh out loud because this one is the lamest one out of all of them so far, "No, but for real now, I lost my number, Mel, can I have yours?"
Before I know it, I'm laughing so hard that I'm holding onto my belly, "Erm, you already have my number?" I say in between my breaths. "Yeah, so that failed" he scratches the back of his head and looks down to me still calming myself down after my sudden outburst of laughter.
"So what do you say?" He asks after I've calmed down and managed to stand up straight again, "Huh?" is all I say from confusion, "You. Me. Prom?" he clears out and a wide smile appears on my face, "I thought I lost the bet" my mind takes me back to the first time we were studying in my bedroom and I told him he wouldn't make it the next day, but he did and so I lost the bet in being his prom date.
"You know I'd love to go to prom with you" I say after a while of him just squinting his eyes at me, knowing he's serious about it.
Instead of his infamous smirk, he actually genuinely smiled and pulled me closer to him, obviously wanting to kiss me, as my arms wrap themselves around his neck, "Maybe you shouldn't, my parents could be watching" I tease.
"Hey relax, your dad loves me" he confidently says, "Yeah but my mom though? Not so much, especially after she saw us in my bed together last time"
He stays quiet for a few seconds probably thinking about the moment and then squints his eyes, "You had to ruin it, didn't you" I giggle at his response and then sit down on the step again, I'm lazy okay, don't judge.
"Anyway, hows your mom doing? Is she okay?" I ask, being genuinely interested. His mom wasn't feeling really well lately, we all think it's because of the pregnancy, but she claims that it's not because if it was pregnancy she'd know, so we all advised her to go and see the doctor as soon as possible, which she thankfully agreed to.
"Still the same. Nothing has changed. I know we all think it's pregnancy but even I'm starting to doubt it now" he sits down on the step next to me and stares at his shoes while talking to me. He sounds really sad, you can tell through his voice.
I put my hand on his back and motion him to look at me by putting my hand on his left cheek and turning his face to me, "It's okay, we'll get through it, together" I comfort him and he lightly smiles at me, probably because of the way that I said it in. I know sometimes it can be hard to be alone on everything.
His smile then lightly fades as he comes closer to me and plants a small yet meaningful kiss on my lips.
