Me, Myself and I

Part 9

I can't sit still in class. I am so excited. in a week I will be shifting to my new place and in 2 weeks new school. a fresh start. 

"rose. good job on this test. it has to be your best" the teacher praised while placing my essay on my table. everyone glares at me but I don't care. 

"hey, how much did you get" I heard Dane ask from behind me. 

damn, I forgot I had the same class as him. 

"uh 98%," I said smiling. 

"daaaaamn 87%," he said frowning. after the incident in the parking we both came on good terms. 

"that's still good you know," I told him 

" yeah but I want to be the best. now with university applications and all," he said. then we proceeded to talk about university.

"so what are you gonna do about prom," he said rubbing the back of his neck. a habit he does when he's nervous. I know he's not nervous because he is gonna ask me but nervous cause it might be weird asking your ex her plans about prom. 

"honestly I forgot about prom. I have been focusing on my grades" I say. also, I wouldn't be in that school for prom. 

" yeah, I can see that" pointing towards my paper. I chuckled "yeah" 

"what about you," I ask him genuinely. no hatred or jealousy. ok maybe a little bit jealous. hey, you can't blame me I thought I was gonna marry this guy. but I would never do anything to sabotage his relationship. 

"well I was gonna go all out in asking Jane" and he proceeded to tell me his plans. he's not doing it to make me jealous. he's doing it because he thinks of me as a friend now not an ex-girlfriend. 

but with each word my heart clenched. and the words 'he should be doing that for you' kept repeating in my head. his eyes had a little light in them. 

"I mean that's what I planned for you but.. yeah" that sentence felt like my heart was stuffed into a mixer and set into the highest setting and left for 3 days. 

I just smiled and nodded. 

"I guess it was never meant to be" I shrugged like it was nothing. I guess another thing is though being hopelessly in love he never knew when I was in pain or needed someone. he couldn't read my emotions as well I could read his. I didn't mind. but sometimes I needed someone who could understand. 

he just nodded slowly. with that sentence, I just demolished any hope he had left of getting back together. 

before I left the class I turned to him and said "you do know I never did and never planned on cheating on you right."

I waited for a second for his response but nothing so I left. 

i left my textbook behind so I turned back. man, that was such a cool exit. damn it I'm gonna ruin it if he's still there. 

"Are you sure she cheated on me" I heard Dane whisper into the phone. 

"yeah I did but she said-" 

"no, I believe her. she said it with such confidence and her honesty just shined through her eyes" 

yup with that description no wonder he got an 87%. I chuckled mentally. 

this is no time for jokes.

"I don't want to go through with the plan" 

"because I believe her damn it"

"you know what fine if you're so sure she did cheat on me. then give me more proof. maybe then I will go through with this stupid idea of yours" 

he ended the call and started to leave. I quickly ducked in the opposite direction before he could see me. after he left I went back to the class to get my book. 

so someone had told him that I cheated on him. I have a hunch it's Frank.  

god freaking damn it. why does everything have to be so twisted. you know what screw this. I don't deserve this shit. I don't need Dane. I got myself. 

me, myself and i
