Briseis is at the mall...

But I can't go to see her not because I care about my fucking classes but because today we start practices in the Basketball team and if I don't go the coach will definitely quick me out.

"So?" Achilles asks me when I get to our table.

"She's in the mall, I don't get it, she's not from the ones that skip school or something... Should I go? I've practice today but I want to find her." I say.

"I don't know..." His blue eyes look so pure and I can see he's over thinking something "I'm gonna try for the track team" He smiles and his eyes go brighter.

"Good luck! But you need to be pretty fast, we've good runners around here." I say. "Help me decide, should I go to the mall?" He lowers his gaze and his smile disappears but I don't really get why.

He shakes his head. Maybe he's right, she must need some time alone, that's all.

The next day Briseis is not at her locker when I get to school but I get to meet Achilles halfway to class.

"I think... Briseis is avoiding me." I tell him, what I don't get is the why.

"Huh?" He tilts his head a little.

"She didn't answer any of my texts yesterday and today she wasn't at her locker, I really don't know what's up." I tell him and shrug.

He is wearing a blue Lacoste shirt with a Khaki pants and black shoes, he looks really good. He looks ways different than me with a black jeans and a white shirt.

"Oh... That's weird, but look I'm running late so yeah I have to go. Bye" He paths my shoulder and goes away and I'm pretty sure my face has the perfect confused look.

Around the third hour I start feeling exasperated for not getting news about Briseis, so when it's time to change classes I decide to skip the next one and go to the gym to practice a little, this way at least my mind will be set in something else.

At this hour the gym is empty, I am about to go and grab some balls to try and make some shots, when I hear a noise, a giggle. In the dressing room.

"Stupid couples that come to the gym to make out." I mutter for myself but then I remember that I've been one of them too and it has been funny.

From time to time Briseis and I would skip some classes and come here at certain hours because it's empty.

"You're such a beautiful, girl." I hear a masculine voice say.

And what should I do? I won't go to class right now but I don't want to interrupt them, I'm not a cockblocker or something like that.

"Mmm... Less chit-chat, more action." The girl answers, and I know that voice, I've memorized that voice.

Briseis.

Briseis was not mad for something I did, Briseis was cheating on me, with some random dude. And it all happens really fast, one moment I'm standing here debating whether if I want to enter there and see what's going on and the other I'm already inside, taking the dude by his collar pulling him away from Briseis.

I hit his nose first, it doesn't make any sound so I'm sure I didn't really damage him.

"What the fu-?" He starts and I hit him in the jaw now.

Somewhere behind me or next to me or in front, I don't have the slightest clue nor I don't give a fuck, Briseis is screaming and me and trying to take me away from him.

Now his eye, this will let him a mark.

"Stop, Please! I'll explain you all, Patroclus!" I move her away and now I'm over the guy, he hits me too, my ribs, but I don't feel anything, I hit him again now on his stomach and he hits my jaw now.

I look at his face, what am I doing? I don't want to kill him. I stand up, Briseis is looking at me as if she has never seen me. And she has never done it, to be quite honest, not like this at least.

"Why? Why would you?" I ask shaking my head. I'm sweating, I see dark points in my vision.

"I just... I don't..." She is afraid now, I can tell, her eyes are wide open and she's trembling, is she because of me? I wouldn't hurt her.

"I can't believe this!" I yell, I take my hair in my hands and pull it, I'm mad.

The guy starts to stand up but he's too hurt so he just sits there.

"Fuck! Fuck this!" I hit one of the lockers and storm out of the room.

Briseis was fucking cheating on me.

"Patroclus!" I hear her scream when I'm going out of the gym.

"Don't you even dare and tell me something!" I yell and I start running.

I run until I'm out of the school, I run even after than, I run until my muscles ache and even after than I run.

Running won't make me forget anything but is the best I can do to get away from there.
