November, A Month Later....
Jasmine's P.O.VIts been a month since the homecoming dance and i haven't talked to Jessica, Leroy, or Vinnie. Even Luke isn't speaking to me but I've been avoiding him. Ever since he got back with that Maddison girl, I've had no desire to speak to him. I guess they think that since Lukes in a band and Maddison is some upcoming model, that puts them at the top of the social food chain. But i can see right through them. Its only for status.
Theres no way Luke cares for her the way he cared for me. I mean seriously. Dating her to make me jealous? Like that could ever phase me. I knew from the moment he tried to introduce us at the dance he was up to something. And now i know what it is. Hes only dating her because dating me was bringing down his reputation. So hes using Maddison to make himself look good. Hell, shes probably doing the same thing. If anything i just feel bad for her. Using her clout to stir some up of his own? Its pathetic.
Currently im in my U.S History class with Mr. Barnes tuning out everything he's saying. I had Leroy in this class, but i guess he dropped out of school or changed his schedule. I don't know if he just hasn't been here but honestly, i dont care.
After how he treated me at the dance, the things he said, theres no way we'd ever come back from that. He even said it himself. And then the whole Jessica thing was the cherry on top of it all. How could she do that to me? This entire time i thought we were friends, sisters. We literally did everything together. And to have her spill her big secret about her and Leroys past, makes me look at her different.
Now i know i probably overreacted at the dance with the whole spitting in her face thing, but cut me some slack. I was mad. Fuck that, i was infuriated and emotional. A lot had happened that night and i was an emotional wreck. My bestfriend dated and slept with my boyfriend and hid it from me for years. And not once did she ever think to tell me that. She just played along with everything. The dates, the lunch table, the football games, all of it. The entire time she sat in my face everyday and lied to me. Thats why I said what I said and don't regret it.
I didn't know about the baby, and for the sake of that, im not mad. Im not mad that she was pregnant and im not mad or upset that she lost the baby. What im upset about was the fact that she never told me about it and that the father of that baby was my boyfriend. Lets say, hypothetically, the baby was actually born. How would she of kept that secret from me?
She was in the wrong for dating Leroy and not telling me. And letting me go out with him knowing her past with him. And the fact that we kissed doesn't help at all. After finding out about their past, i felt so disgusted with myself. It was like i had my bestfriends sloppy seconds. I didn't feel good about myself afterward and i sure as hell don't feel good about it now.I dont know if I'll ever forgive them. I dont know if we'll ever talk again. I have nothing against Vinnie though. He did nothing wrong. I dont even know if he knew about their past and the whole baby thing. From what i do know, Leroy will never talk to me again. And as far as Jessica, i know that she'll probably want to, but im just not there yet. And even if i were, i wouldn't even know what to say or where to start.
Before i knew it, class was over and it was time to go to 4th. I walk out of class as quickly as possible so that i dont make eye contant with anyone. Especially Jess, Vinnie, or Leroy. As i walk down the hallway, i spot in the corner of my eye Luke and Maddison eating each others faces off at his locker. It was pure disgustingness. He had his arms rubbing all over her body as her leg was slightly lift up to his hip. Apparently after the Homecoming dance, she transferred here permanently. I guess shes got this modeling gig with Vogue or something and wanted to live closer to Luke. Their entire relationship makes me cringe.
I kept walking and kept my attention in front of me. About 10 feet ahead, i saw Vinnie and Jess walking hand and hand across the hallway. They didn't see me but i knew even if they did, they wouldn't of cared. They would've just acted like i was invisible.
When i saw Jess, i noticed she had changed her hair. Since our incident at the homecoming, i havent really seen either of them, much less Leroy. So i'd see Jess and Vinnie every blue moon or so, but this time her hair was different. It wasnt its natural vibrant ginger color anymore. She had dyed it blonde. I dont know how she went from ginger to full on blonde, but i guess it didnt matter because she looked good. She looked happy. Happier even. And Vinnie got a few more tattoos from what i could see. He was carrying his skateboard which im guessing he started skating again. Suddenly Vinnie and Jess met up with Shred and Vinnie had dabbed up Tyler and everyone in the crew. Even Jessica said hey to everyone. Which shook me because over a month ago, she was running away from them and their comments.
I brushed it off and walked past them. I kept walking and kept my head down not trying to look at anyone else. While speed walking through the hallway, i had bumped into someone. I was so concentrated on the ground, i didn't realize where i was going. When i looked up to apologize, i instantly recognized who i had stumbled upon.
When i looked up startled, i saw Leroy standing in front of me. He was on the verge of apologizing for the clash when he noticed it was me and immediately stopped apologizing. He looked at me before a girl following behind him from the room he was coming out of, came and stood next to him.
"Ready to go?" She said putting her hand on his sholder staring at him.
"Yeah." He said looking at her and giving her a short kiss on her cheek.
"'Excuse me." he said softly brushing past me.
When i looked at the door they had just walked out of, i noticed it had said Supply Closet. I instantly knew what was going on between them and felt a sharp pain in my chest. I knew for a fact that he was fucking her. And during 3rd period? Is this the reason why he hasn't been to class? Cause he'd rather fuck bitches inna supply closet than to sit in a room with me for an hour? I looked back at them walking away and noticed his arm was around her waist setting right above her ass. I looked forward and with everything in me, I continued to walk to my 4th period.
