Mr. Frantastic

Chapter five.

Classes resumed again that Monday morning and I wasn't really prepared for what was coming. Although I really only had three classes that day I was getting a lot more homework and I already have to study for a test coming up for photography. It wouldn't be a hard test, mainly I had to study the buttons of a camera, but I wanted to make sure I would get a decent grade on it, I really don't like falling behind.

Sunday during the day Ricardo asked me if I wanted to intern for his local radio station he has for the school and the town around us. Of course I said yes because that is all I ever wanted to be since I have gotten here. The radio station is called KROV and from what he has told me it has been doing pretty well. 

I called my parents today and told them about the great news, but they weren't too thrilled. They were happy for me but they said I should focus more on something practical like a doctor or go into cosmetology, but they were being ridiculous so I hung up on them. I was surprised they didn't even ask about Connor. 

Ever since the first time Connor and I kissed, things started to get a little awkward between us. Since he was the person who was mostly wasted between us both, he couldn't remember a damn thing. When I told him about it he shrugged it off and said he was glad we are friends. Friends.

Classes weren't that exciting to be honest. I got a project in TFM 136  and I have that test too as well. During choir/music theory, nothing much happened. The reason I'm taking that class is because I would like to understand music more. Although I'm really interested in being a DJ, I also really like to sing. I also want a lot better understanding in music, which helps me with my interning as well.

Classes were done around four-thirty and I was beyond tired, but I had to stay awake to be at the radio station that was a little down the road at seven. I really needed to take a shower and finish my homework so I don't forget. When I arrive, I stick my key in and unlock the door. As soon as I walk in my mouth drops open when I see Connor sitting on his bed making out with someone. When they pull away I'm angry when I realize it's Acacia. 

Inside I wanted to scream and push her away and tell Connor I love him, but I couldn't, because I didn't love him. Connor was never mine in the first place but how could he? He told me he hated her? On the outside I was in shock. My mouth hung open and my fists started to ball up. I could already feel my eyes water and my cheeks getting red. They pull away and she has a grin on her face like she is pleased with herself. I wanted nothing more than to run over there and throw her over a table a second time, but I couldn't help but just stand in the doorway.

"Am I interrupting something?" I choke my words down and try to fight back th tears that really shouldn't be worth it.

Connor opens his mouth to say something but Acacia, like the dumb bitch she is, butts in.

"Actually, yes." She smiles proudly.

She kisses him again and smirks. I know she is doing this on purpose. My heart snaps in half and I don't even know why I'm still standing here. I thought Connor would enjoy it, but he didn't. He pulls away in disgust.

"Acacia!" he yells. "This was a mistake!"

Oh really? "No it wasn't, Connor. I know you liked it and I know you like me. You don't have to pretend you don't like it because that fucking bitch of a roommate of yours is watching. Don't try to lie to me." She pouts and points to me. She latches her arms around his neck and he tries to pry them off.

"First off, she's not a bitch. Second off, stop telling lies because you know I don't like you." He says.

"Then why did you invite me?"

"Because- I don't know why. I don't think sometimes." He says and Acacia pulls her arms off of him, mad as hell.

"You're right you don't think sometimes. I don't even know why you broke up with me in the first place." She says. I can totally see why Connor did, but I was going to let him tell her, that is if he was going to tell the truth.
