~NILMANI P.O.V~
"Listen!" I decided to finally speak up after having a few minutes of debate with my thoughts. Seeing that I don't necessarily want Ellora to use her smart-ass brain any further, which can or maybe result in an awkward situation for me and my precious soul.
Why did I say that? Well, I'm just not ready to say anything yet to the girls at this point. The main reason why I only insisted on informing Reggie so casually about it, was because he's more chill and understanding about this type of stuff considering how he fully supports the community even though he's straight like my passing grades.
Yes! About Reggie being understanding with the LGBT community, I'll get into that at a later schedule but right now I'm the main lead and the focus should be on me.
"It's not a coincidence, ok?" I argued. "How is it supposed to be a damn coincidence when I told you, girls, that me and the person I was speaking about met through our moms on Christmas Eve eleven years ago?" I argued again with a stern expression.
"But then you said that person is back in your life," Ellora added, once again stubborn. She doesn't like acknowledging when she's wrong; instead, she would create a hundred theories to back up her claims.
"Did I say which year or date they came? And one important factor, I didn't even say whether my first love was a guy or a girl." I explained as I let out a frustrated sigh. Since we were still on the roof, I went to stand almost close to the edge with both hands in my pockets.
I would feel a little bit satisfied if Micah didn't enroll here of all places, this is my domain, a place for me to be wild and not be tied to my parent's rules of perfection and that's exactly what Micah is all about, perfection well I guess it's run in the blood since his family is of high status.
"You know," I began "That's the problem with this whacked-up generation, you guys assumed too much and then began to do some unnecessary deep thinking. It's kind of pitiful at this point but----"
"Accountability feels like a sudden attack when people aren't ready to acknowledge their behavior or when they're far off track from the main point," Reggie cut me off with some wise words. Glancing towards his direction he was on his phone with one part of the earphone in his ears. "At least you know what I'm talking about but I'm still going to kill you later for putting me in this situation," I muttered.
Reggie and his cheap but unpredictable mouth. "Mani, I've been thinking and just wanted to say how I reacted... I'm sorry." Ellora admitted, my back was facing the girls so I can't make out what expression they were having.
"Still Mani you're in the wrong too, don't play the victim here. Even if you're going out with a guy...doesn't it bother you that you're just experimenting?" Ally scolded.
"You're just going to hurt that person in the process of your scientific experimenting if they end up falling in love with your fucking ass," She complained.
Folding my arms, I could feel Reggie's eyes focused on me, but I couldn't care less. What I'm going to do will make me a fucking jerk but that's who I am. "Well, they sign up for my service knowing what's going to happen if they fall in love with me but it's not my problem," I said.
I'm not turning back on my words; in the meantime, I just must pretend I don't know Micah or simply avoid him altogether. "So?" Ally asked, "You're not going out with a guy but experimenting?"
I fully faced her with a blank expression on my face. "Yes," I confirmed. "Ok," she shrugged while shaking her head. "Don't come to me when you start catching feelings and if your parents found out would they even accept what you're doing?"
"I have stopped caring about what my parents think about me since that day," I told them, slightly rolling my eyes. "Don't you roll your eyes at me, Nilmani!" Ally shouted with a stunned face while pointing at me.
"Ok, ok enough of this drama." Reggie cuts in, he walked over to where I was then placed his arms on my shoulder. "We'll talk later, there are things in this world even your smart mind isn't aware of," he whispered.
