Falling for Him

Chapter 2

The bell rings and now we all get to go home. Unfortunately for me I have to catch the school bus, I don't have my license yet but everyone at school does. I hate being younger than everyone! I hop onto the school bus and sit and the back, the doors start to close and then they hit back open, I look outside the door and Alex walks in. He sits down one seat in front of me. I think to myself 'this is going to be so awkward' but as soon as I said it he turned around and said "excuse me", shit I said it out loud! I was about to start apologising because I was rude before but as soon as my mouth opened he jumped in and said "don't worry about apologising just don't think that it will be awkward, I know we didn't have a great start today but we shouldn't hold that against what could be maybe a friendship". I was shocked when he said that and a little speechless, so I just nodded.

It was quiet for the whole bus ride until he hopped of and said "see ya" I just waved. I should've said something but I couldn't, I still felt so awkward around him. I finally got off the bus and started walking home, I kept thinking about what he said at school, and how he just walked off. Why was I so rude to him? Well I know but I guess I shouldn't of said those things.

I finally get home and walk up to my bedroom, jasmine starts calling me so I pick up (obviously). She starts going on and on about how Derek started talking to her after school, and that he and she were flirting with each other. Well thanks jasmine for that (just remember Derek is Jakes best friend). So she just keeps on talking and talking and then I start crying, she stops and asks what's wrong with me, so I say trying to be strong "your talking about Derek, jakes friend and I can't take it anymore, if you like him go for it but I'm not ready for you to talk to me about how sweet he is when he is best friends with my ex!" She goes "ok sure, I'm sorry if I talked too much about it, I just thought I could have you as a friend for this happy moment in my life!" She hangs up and I start thinking about what I've done now.

Back at school today, and I'm not feeling to good about it. Firstly I've pissed of the new kid and second I think I've hurt one of my best friends. I go straight to my locker to see if Jasmine or Emily are waiting there, like they usually do. But no ones there. I walk to my first class and sit at the back. Emily looks at me and says "what happened last night with you and Jasmine on the phone?" I just said "I started crying because she started going on and on about Derek! I feel bad and I want to apologise but I had such a shitty day yesterday that I didn't need her to tell me about my exes best friend!" She just nodded and smiled.

Finally after that long and boring history class ended, Emily and I started walking towards the cafeteria to buy some lunch. We got our lunch and sat on the table with Jasmine sitting there playing on her phone. I started talking to her and saying "hey Jaz I just want to say that I'm so sorry for how I acted on the phone, I'm just still trying to recover from the Jake thing and when you were talking about Derek I guess I got a little jealous" she smiled and said "don't worry about it, I completely understand. Let's just forget this ever happened haha". I started thinking to myself why I told her I was jealous! Like what? I'm not jealous of her.

It's Saturday and I have this massive school party that I have to go to. To be honest I really don't want to but all my friends are going and it's fun to dress up haha. I organised Jaz and Em to come to mine so we can all get ready together. The door bell rings and I go run to open it, they both walk in casually and then we all run up to my room.

2 hours later

Finally we have finished getting ready. Off to the party we go! We all hop into my mums car and she drives us to the house. We get out and head straight in. Already I can smell the alcohol, everyone is drinking and having a good time. I'm not really a strong drinker but I don't mind having a few drinks.
I go to the kitchen where they are serving the drinks and grab three, as I was giving them to them they both shook their heads.

I just drank all three raspberry vodka. I feel a little tipsy. I go to get a few more drinks and then finish all of them. That's it I'm drunk. I go roaming around (completely forgetting about Jaz and Em) to find a couch to sit on and rest a little bit. I finally found one and collapsed, I didn't even know that there was someone sitting where I just fell on. So I just fell onto someone's lap. I looked up and there sat Alex smiling.
