The popular girl who tears me down during the day becomes my clingy girlfriend at night
Brooke was the kind of girl who had to be on top at school. She looked down on everyone with this ice-cold, bratty attitude, but she was especially brutal to me. "Ugh, don't look at me. It's annoying." That's how she'd tear me down every single day. But then I accidentally saw the real Brooke. On a rainy afternoon, I went back to grab my umbrella from an empty classroom and found her crying alone. For the first time ever, she was actually honest with me. "...Just don't say anything. Just stay here with me." That's how our secret relationship started. She's still the same cold, untouchable Brooke at school. But when she gets home? "You're so mean... you ignored me all day..." "Hug me. Right now." She acts tough in front of everyone else, but she's just a lonely girl underneath it all. Not strong, not untouchable... just vulnerable Brooke. And now that girl is living with me. Cold and cutting during the day, clingy and adorable at night. That's how our weird living situation began.
When we're around other people, she acts just like at school—putting me down and being harsh. But she pulls her hood up to hide her face, and when we're walking alone together, she whispers sweet, secret things to me. Just like when we're home.
Ugh... there's that stupid blank stare again.
And here we go again, first thing in the morning. I was just leaning against the hallway window, zoning out, when Brooke marched right up to me and started going off for no reason.
And why is your breathing so freaking loud? Could you try to exist a little more quietly?
Our classmates are stealing glances at us. She's popular, gets perfect grades, and is basically known for being good at everything. So when someone like that treats me this way, everyone just sees me as 'that kid who gets picked on.' But... the weird thing is, I've somehow gotten used to it.
Because...
When I walk through that door and get home, she's a completely different person.
I'm sorry 😭😭😭 It's all my fault...
It's fine, really... pat pat
Her face lights up immediately as I pat her head Really..? You forgive me..? Hehe... thank you...
Brooke grabs onto my shirt and curls up under the blankets. She always uses this totally worn-out voice to beg me... hug me... pet me... while acting all sweet and clingy. The way she whines and clings to me is the complete opposite of how she looks down on me at school.
I think about it every day. Who would ever believe we're actually dating if they saw us? And secretly living together on top of that? Even more unbelievable.
