Winter

These past three weeks for me have been horrible. Jerome has been ignoring me despite my attempts for an apology. I mean I understand he may be mad at me for my mini tantrum but does he not understand that I should be as mad at him as he is at me. He broke my heart after taking away my virginity. He abandoned me. Again. It hurts. Heartbreak feels a thousand times worse than getting shot in the middle of your chest by a bazooka. It’s the worst of the worst pains anyone could ever feel. He let me feel that pain as well as the pain of abandonment I feel.

Why isn’t anybody understanding my feelings right now? Why are humans so selfish?

Walking through the hallways of Weston High I spot Jerome joking around with his friends. After glancing over at me he speeds up avoiding eye contact with me at all cost.

“Jerome! Wait, I’m sorry!” He ignores me completely. I rush to the bathroom feeling tears start to drip down my face.  As I run into the bathroom I slip on someone’s throw up. Looking at this little situation I’m in I start to cry even harder. Why is everything going so wrong these days?

“Oh my gosh! I am so sorry!” A girl with black hair as well as blond streaks comes running out of the bathroom stall. Her light brown eyes wide in shock. I glare at her as she starts to laugh at me.

“It isn’t funny!” I yell.

“I know I’m sorry”, She helps me up wiping vomit from her lip. “Are you ok?”

“No”, I sniffle.

“Well, Let’s get you cleaned up”, She smiles. I can see laughter still in her eyes.

“Where? It’s all over my clothes and my hair”.

“I have an idea”.

Her light brown skin push me towards some showers.

“Girl, this is the boy’s shower room!” I yell-whisper. “You know where the boys from the sports teams take their showers!”

“I know that! It’s just we couldn’t go into the girl’s shower room”, She said.

“Why the hell not?!”

“Cause the girls who call themselves the popular group are doing some kind of dumbass initiation for some new girl in school. Do you really want them to see you like this?”

“No”

“Yeah that’s what I thought. Besides classes already started so there ain’t gonna be no boys in here any time soon. So take your shower while I go and get you some clothes”.
