Chapter 7

*ABLE*

No
I stayed frozen in place as lina took in the scean right in foront of her.

What was i thinking?. Jaquan was honest and would never have done this to me.

Its been going on for a wile now. I would hook up with Stella when jaquan wasint around. I knew it was wrong but i didnt feel like stopping. I couldnt stand to see her reaction when she finds out. I'm an idiot. This was like throwing away a diamond and picking up a rock. A rock that already belonged to someone els.

This wasn't the first time I had done something like this to hurt her. She forgave me. She would forgive me .

She has to.

*ELINA*

"Come on babe, if she doesn't want to leave we could just give her a show" Stella slurred putting her hands behind Ables neck in attempt to pull him out of his current frozen state.

I started walking well, fast-walking. I dint want to have to witness whatever show Stella had planned. I already felt nauseous."Lina!" Able called from down the hallway. I stopped walking . I wanted to listen to what he had to say.

"Please don't tell Jaquan" he said finally caching up to me. "I want to be the one to tell her, she couldn't find out this way....it would break her" his voiced cracked at the end. I glared at him. But he had a point . It wouldn't look too good if I (who couldn't talk) would be the one to tell her that her boyfriend had been caught messing around with my new arch enemy (Stella).
I nodded then started my way to class.

If he didn't tell Jaquan soon enough I would have to tell her. And about August....

He's going to to have to figure that out himself.

* * * *

August wasn't in class today. Neither was Stella. It gave me an uneasy felling knowing they were both absent. I know I'm most likely overthinking this. Stella could be with some other random person and I don't think I can face August so this isn't all bad , except the fact that I kind of miss him.

At lunch I made my way to the library to meet with Jaquan. Except she wasn't in her usual spot. Able stood at our spot by the fantasy books staring at his phone.

"Do you have any idea where Jaquan is or would be?" He asked looking up at me. I shook my head and quickly typed into my phone." No,Why? What did you do"robot-girl-phone said. " I told her about.... you know? but Stella offered to tell her with me but let's just say she used the wrong choice of words" he took a breath." And then she ran off".

What could Stella had said to make Jaquan run off?." What did she say" I meant to yell but the sad thing about using a robot-phone-girl to talk is that you show no emotion in your voice at all, it's all just monotone. "Something between the lines of 'Able likes girls with a little more to offer' he frowned. "I'll text her okay? Just keep looking" robot-(oh, you know the drill) said.

It was the end of the day and I knew mom couldn't pick me up, she was going to be gone for two days and left this morning after dropping me off. The bus had already left so I decided on walking. The school was only about ten minutes away from my house.... by car.

I pulled up the GPS on my phone,put in ear buds and started walking. One minute I was happily skipping down the sidewalk with fall out boy blasting in my ears my only worry being that my broken-hearted best friend is missing and hopping she just went home, and the next minute my phone dies.

I panicked. My phones dead. My phone is dead. Oh no i have no GPS no way to communicate (besides facial expressions)and no music to pass time. Calm Lina be calm your sure to find your way home just keep on going this way and hope your lucky. I wandered around aimlessly for a few minutes and then felt a few droplets of water on my head. This wasn't good.
