Falling for Him

Chapter 1

My name is Lucy Price, I’m 17 years old and go to West Bank High School.

My life is a mess, I have around about 1 million problems! My boyfriend Jake, that I really loved broke up with me because he cheated and blamed me because I didn't give him enough attention. I don't deserve this type of treatment! I have showed my love to him in ways that only god can explain. And now that he blamed me for his mistake I feel pretty shit about it. My heart has just broken into a million pieces, I can barely eat, breath or sleep. I'm thinking over and over if I could of done something more to prevent this from happening. I keep remembering all those times that he had to go see his "sick aunte" and when he couldn't go to my pool party because he couldn't swim, this was all a lie to see his other girlfriend! I hate how I was so stupid not to see any of these signs, I was just so in love. I mean could you blame me? He was so sweet and kind when we first started dating, he would buy me flowers and big teddy bears and then he started getting more distant. I can't believe out of all the girls to target he had to choose me. Did I do anything to deserve this? 

2 months later*

I'm back in school and back to seeing my ex everday! Yayy for me. And what's worse is that he has gone to target another girl named Alice, she bullied me back in primary school and still hates me to this day. He is such a jerk. 

I walk into first period with my chin high to make sure I don't have a shitty year, I sit in the back with my two best friends Emily and Jasmine. We have been best friends since kindergarten! In walks Jake with his best friend Derek, he glances at me and I glance back. So awkward. He sits at the front right next to Alice, and then they hold hands. I hate my life right about now. Finally Mr Mac comes in and starts teaching us about History, which normally I would hate but he stopped Jake from holding Alice's hand. As the teacher is talking a boy walks into the room and every girl in the room stops and stares but I look away, I really can't be bothered with guys that will end up breaking my heart. The teacher introduces him to us as Alex Copperfield the new student. He says 'hey' to everyone and goes to sit down in the chair right next to me, I just look the opposite direction without giving him the slightest happy emotion that he has moved to our school. Emily looks at me and says "Girl what's wrong with you? This really cute guy has just sat next to you and you have completly just given him a greezy!" I say "Emily I'm not in the mood for guys anymore, my heart is still aching from Jake and this new kid isn't going to help me" Emily yell/whispers "You need to really get over this Jake thing, it is ruining your life and especially your love life! If Jake has moved on you should move on too!". I look away from her and face the front of the room. I know Emily is right but I don't want to admit it to myself. 

Finally class has ended and we now have lunch, I'm starving. Emily, Jasmine and I start walking to the cafeteria, we find a table and start to eat our yummy homemade food. In walks Jake and Alice, holding hands. They go sit on the "popular" table. And then staright away they start kissing like there is no tomorrow. Then from the corner of my eye I see Alex, he looks so lost. I kinda feel bad for him but then at the same time I don't want to get involved. Jasmine calls him over like she knows him and then looks at me to start a conversation, I'm so angry at her. He comes down and sits next to me again. He starts off by saying "hey girls, thanks for calling me over. I have no friends here and it's a little overwhelming" I look at him and begin to say "no problem, I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends!" Emily stands up and takes Jasmine to the bathroom and leaves me here all alone with him. It's 100% awkward. Alex says "didn't I sit next to you in history? You're the one that gave me that huge greezy? Why?" I pause and think what the hell I'm going to say "ummm, I just don't need anymore drama in my life, and I got a vibe from you. Also I just broke up with my boyfriend and you reminded me of him". He goes "I'm not your boyfriend, so please don't be rude to a guy that you don't know", then he walks away. I guess I was rude but I need to protect myslef I guess.
