"Good riddance,"
A thousand retorts flooded into Chloe's mind, just waiting for her to pick one of them. She didn't. She didn't want to make this any worse than it already was. What was it about her? People seemed to end up loathing her on first sight. Chance had been the first in a long time who hadn't hated her. She found it so, she thought she might cry.
"I don't think so," "You two are going to work this out."
Oh damn, no! That was not what she had been expecting! She had just wanted to leave. Right then and there. She just wanted to do what she was best at, laugh it off and pretend it never happened. She would be missing out on something good that hadn't come her way in a long time. Who was she kidding? She was sick of having no one in her life that she could love. She didn't want that to happen again.
She nodded her head slightly in agreement. She made no movement to be closer to Chance, or to the evil boy for that matter. She just stood there, rigidly. Her eyes were cool and her face emotionless. People stereotyped her as a joker in all situations - especially since her nickname was Joker. That wasn't entirely true. Sure, whenever she felt it was necessary, she would throw a joke into a rough situation, but she also knew when it was not necessary. And right now, it was not.
She would apologize to the ass hole. No. She wouldn't. Yes...She would. For Chance. No....YES. Ok. She would do it.
She looked the boy squarely in the eye and began a little speech - made up on the spot;
"Ok, I don't know what your problem is, and I don't know what my problem is, but I do know we both have a problem here. The way I see it, I have two options - I can apologize to you for shifting some of the blame (even though Most of it was your fault) and make Chance happy, or I can give you one hell of a tongue lashing, haunt you the rest of your life, and miss out on something I have never had - nor will I ever get. I've only just met Chance today, but Im glad I did! I've never had anyone before! No one that I can run to! No one that I can love! And no one who loves me back! Do you get it? People (such as yourself) hate me because I make their lousy lives miserable with just my personality alone! How do you think that makes me feel day to day? It's downright unpleasant when I find someone who doesn't think like that about me, and then his friend does, and then I end up never being able to have that little bit of joy in my life because of it! Ok? Thats why I hate you! You jumped to the wrong side of me the other night and You're taking away my joy right now!"
Chloe had started it out in a steady voice, but now she was shaking and her voice had been raised as she went on. She had never revealed such things to anyone before. It left her vulnerable.
"I think its your turn now." she said quietly.
