Love You Beyond Time

It Wasn't Me

"Okay class, let's give a big around of applause to our official classroom officers!"

Everyone clapped loudly. The outcome of the election was very unexpected. I became an officer, but not as a secretary like in the past life. I became the treasurer of the class. To be honest, I don't actually have any issue regarding this position. However, the thing that I have an issue with, is the muse and the escort. Cleorose became the muse of our class! To make it more worse, Macky became her escort!

There's an upcoming modeling event in our school. The muse and the escort will represent our class. Macky and Cleorose will become partners! Knowing Cleorose, she wouldn't let this opportunity pass. She'll seduce Macky! As Macky's friend, I won't let that happen! If I need to force her, then I will.

I felt rage. I imagined different scenarios of Macky being with Cleorose. I don't want to see that future! A future where Macky is with that filthy woman! I'll make sure that she'll have no choice but to backdown.

I still have my trump card. The knowledge of the future. Unknown to everyone, Cleorose has a child. She's a teenage mother.

Cleorose is actually a rising social media star. She is known for her marvelous make up tutorials. She has 400,000 subscribers on YouTube. In my past life, she was forced to leave school due to her secret. Her secret of being a teenage mother. I'm not that cruel to destroy her future. I'll just threaten her a bit with this secret. Just enough for her to leave Macky alone. So, I followed her on the restroom.

Cleorose already went inside the restroom. I followed her inside and made sure that no one is there but us. I looked around and made sure that we were the only people there. After making sure, I locked the door and waited for her to come out from the toilet.

A few minutes later she went out. I was standing behind the door waiting for her. She looked around and noticed me..

"Oh, hi Ashley!"

"Hello, Cleorose!"

"You don't have to call my by my name, you can just call me Cleo for short."

I just smiled awkwardly.

"Do you have something to say? Ashley?"

Then it came to me. What am I doing? There's nothing wrong about her asking Macky out. In fact, I don't even have the right to decide on whom Macky should be with. I dazed in front of her. I didn't know what to do or how to react. I realized my own mistake. I realized that I'm slowly becoming a villain.

"Ashley?"

"How's your child?"

It just came into my mouth. A sudden slipped of tongue. A sudden instinct. I was so lost in my thoughts that the first thing that came into my mind became my response to her. It was a mistake! I was about to say sorry, but when I looked at her in the face, it was already to late.

She dazed in front me. She was in the state of shock. I could see the fear in her eyes. The terror of her what ifs. She was afraid. I didn't know how to react, or how to appease her. Just like her, I was also shock by the words that came out of my mouth. I regretted everything, but it was already too late. I already said the things that I shouldn't have said.

Cleo pushed me to the side as I was standing behind the door. In that split second, I tried to look into her eyes as she pushed me into the side. I saw it, she was about to cry. She opened the door and ran away. I didn't follow her immediately. I was afraid to confront her. So, I waited for a few minutes before I went out.

After a few minutes, I went on my way to the classroom. I was planning to apologize to her, but when I reached the class, she wasn't there. So I asked Macky.

"Hello Macky, have you seen Cleo?"

He looked me with his eyes hostile towards mine. His face was showing disappointment.

"What have you done?"

I didn't notice it at first, but everyone was looking at me. Some was murmuring.Their gazes was full of judgement. It was obvious that I was the subject of their topic.

"You're just her classmate!" Said by a random classmate with her eyes full of judgements and anger.

"You're not in the place to reveal anything about her personal life to begin with!" Some of my classmates started to lecture me with their face fulk of annoyance and anger. However, I didn't know what's happening, so I asked.

"What happening? What did I do?"

"Seriously Ashley? Stop pretending you two f*ced b*tch! You don't know anything about Cleo! She was r***d! Who are you to spread her secret! There's a reason why she hid the fact that she had a child. Her child is dead! She didn't hid it because she was embarrassed, she hid it because she wants to forget! Who do you think you are to spread humors about her!"

What? I didn't do anything. I never said anything to anyone about her child! The only time that I mentioned it was when I was with her in the bathroom. I never said it to anyone. How did it spread!

" No, it wasn't me. I never told it to anyone!" I snapped, I was trembling. I didn't understand what's happening, I couldn't even process my current situation. It's as if, everyone turned their back on me.

" Don't lie to us you Liar. A dummy account just posted about her child on Twitter. It has 2k shares now!"

"I never posted anything about it on my Twitter. I don't even have a dummy account!"

"Stop lying Ashley. Cleo was crying when she entered the classroom. We tried talking to her but she just kept on crying. While we were trying to calm her down, we suddenly saw a post on Twitter about her. It was slowly getting viral! After that, she asked us if she did anything hurtful to you. She then packed her things and ran!"

"I think she already went home."

"Guys, believe me! I wouldn't do such a thing! It's true that I mentioned about her child when we were talking in the toilet, but it was only a slipped of tongue. Trust me, that was the only time that I mentioned about her secret. I never told it to anyone!"
