A Unique Crossover

Chapter33: Another sort of Catfish

He clenched his jaw so painfully tight that it might break at any give time, "I liked the first one more than the second one, so I deleted it and yes, I let Stephanie send an email to some professor or whatever from my phone. But I never showed or sent her any videos of you or anything else!"

There was a moment where we just kept staring at each other, not being able to say anything. This was the first time ever where we've had an argument where we're screaming at each other like this and it just felt so unnatural somehow.

Normally we're teasing each other, throwing shots at one another, me to him mostly, always having a causal, free and joyful atmosphere between the two of us. Now it's tense, filled with anger and other strong emotions above us and despite all of those things, a part of me wanted it to stop.

That's when his eyes started to soften slightly in anger, but mostly in pain when asking, "Don't you believe me, Ariel? Don't you trust me?"

Despite the hot burning anger that was shining through his eyes that matched mine, I could clearly see the pain at the thought of me not believing or trusting David and his words at all. The question caused something twist and turn the nut in my gut sharply and tightly, making the pain and hurt for all of this grow even stronger.

My throat became more dry, yet I kept my voice steady and powerful when I said, "No one can trust an ex, they don't even trust themselves."

David's eyes widen by my words, even my inside felt like something punched all of the air out of me. Not wanting to stand here anymore, don't want to talk to him in this atmosphere between the two of us as I turned away. The air becoming thinner and colder, standing and arguing with David over what had happened which there was nothing that I could do to change it.

Feeling like my back was bleeding from the knife that was cutting through the skin that had David's hand prints on it with Stephanie smiling to not needing to do much.

"Ariel." David called out tightly, as if he was trying hard to swallow down the hurt that my words had caused. My words hurt me just as much as they have done to him, but I had to tell him the truth which I never wanted to admit to him.
Since the truth reflected what I think of myself as Android's ex, another reason why I don't date anyone after that relationship ended. I have never trusted any ex, regardless of who they are or who's ex they were. "Ariel-"

His voice sounded stronger than before, causing me to turn back to him right when I got to the end of the hallway, he nearly looked like a guy who's broken, but was putting a smile on show, "Do me a favour, David, throw away that ticket that I bought you. It wasn't meant for you anyways."

That was what brought my heart to its knees as much as it had done for David, not being able to look at him in the face, I turned away before walking faster away. Every part of me was filled with anger for the fact that Stephanie has taken my solo as hers, I have to think of a new chorography before Saturday for Sapphire.
But mostly, my entire body was filled with pain, because David gave that snake my chorography and never thought how it would affect me at all.

Once I stepped out of the building, running to the parking lot where I've parked my car, then drove to the studio where I practise for the Beauty Pageant. After parking my car, I took my other soccer ball that I always kept in my tank before going to the 'space box'.

It's this empty, almost non-used room next to the studio that Aunt Gabriella and I use, it's one of the rooms where I would go whenever I want to be alone and would practice some target practice whenever Aunt G was late. Today I was pretending that David and Stephanie's face was the wall and I was betting them with powerfully strikes. Mostly Stephanie's face than David.
