It's lunch and Tomas isn't at the usual table with his friends and me. Everyone else is here, except him. I saw him today, where is he? I ask Mark where he could be, but all he does is shrug his shoulders. I haven't seen Jennifer at all today, which is a great thing for me.
"I'm going to look around the school for Tomas. I'll be back." I say to my table. They all nod and keep eating. I walk through many hallways. I peek inside of classrooms, and the library. But I don't see him. I check the labs but he's not there, and also the computer rooms. Not a single sight of him. When I was just about to go back to the cafeteria, I hear two voices. They sound awfully familiar.
I know it's not good to eavesdrop but I can't help myself.
"I'm sorry, but it's not working out." the first voice whispers. I hear muffled cries.
"But.. why? What.. huh? Please don't.." It's not clear, the sobs make it hard to listen.
"I'm truly sorry, but I'm in love with someone else." I hear more sobs.
There's many silent moments before someone speaks up.
The sobs stop. "Wait, it's not that new girl right?" The voice sounds angry.
"Uh well... Um.. Maybe.. " I get closer to the voices.
I suddenly know who's talking.
It's Jennifer and Tomas.
They are breaking up.
And they are talking about me.
