Broken Love

The Day After

It was Wednesday day and only half way through the week

"The rest of the week is gonna suck" I thought to myself

I put on a thin hoodie over a tank top and put on some shorts curled my hair a little and brushed my teeth

I walked downstairs stairs

"You'll be fine, just smile" I whispered to myself

"Morning sweetie" My mom told me like every morning

"Morning" I said

I ate some cereal grabbed my backpack and walked to the car

My mom followed after me and took me to school

We got to school and my mom smiled at me "have a good day" she said

I smiled back for a second "you too"

As I walked down the halls I saw Jake

I wasn't in the mood to talk to him or anyone at the time

I hid my face and walked past him

I sat all the way in the back of class

When Mr. Bonewoods class was over I quickly went to English class

I sat in the back of that class too

A new kid walked in the class

I'm glad I wasn't the only new kid at this school now

"Class we have a new student and his name is Connor" Mrs. Partly said

"Ashley would you like to show Connor around after class since you seem to be not so talkative today" Mrs. Partly asked me and Jake turned around to look at me

I avoided looking at Jake

"Sure why not" I said not really wanting to

"Connor you can go sit at that empty seat" Mrs. Partly directed him to the empty seat in the back next to me

He sat down and I just rested my head on my right arm to avoid Connor

I know I was probably being pretty rude to this new guy but I really WASN'T in the mood to be nice talk or even write notes in our notebooks in class

The bell rang and I got up from my seat and walked out forgetting I had to show Connor around

"Hey" Connor said but I just started walking

I walked all the way to the outside sitting area outside and I sat on the bench

Connor came over and sat on the bench

"Hi" Connor said with his hand out

I didn't take it

"Can you even say anything" he said looking down at his shoes

"I really not in the mood! I cheated on my boyfriend not meaning to, I don't even want to talk to him because of it!" I yelled at Connor getting frustrated not even caring what I said

"I guess I'll have someone else show me around" he said quietly getting up

He started walking off

I thought to myself then grabbed my stuff and ran over to him

"Connor wait" I said

He turned around

"I'm sorry I've had to deal with so much right now"

"It's fine" he said with his hands in his pockets

I ended up showing Connor around but I saw Jake and hid

It didn't take Connor that long to realize I had hid

"Now what" he said

I grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him next to me

"What is it" Connor said

"Just wait till he's gone" I whispered

Jake was out of sight so I continued the tour

Last we went in the music room and Connor grabbed a guitar

"You play?" I asked

"Use to, I can teach you" Connor said scooting over

I held the guitar and Connor put my fingers in place to play a G

"Nice" Connor said

We looked at each other in the eyes

"Um I better go" I said

"Oh right" Connor said backing away

I left and ran into Hannah again

I didn't even both to say sorry I just picked up my stuff and went to walk off but Hannah stopped me

"Ashley, what's wrong"

I tried walking off but she stopped me again

"Tell me"

We walked into an empty classroom

"So what's up with you, your not talking at all" Hannah asked

"Austin came back"

"What?" She said confused

"My ex, he's here" I said started to tear up

"Oh, THE Austin?"

I nodded starting to tear up

"Come here" Hannah said holding her arms out for a hug

I hugged her and started crying

The bell rang

I stopped myself from crying and went to class

Jake looked at my constantly

I still avoided him

After school Jake caught up with me

"Ashley" Jake said

I sped up

"Ashley stop"

I took a deep breath and turned around

"What's wrong, you've been avoiding me all day" he said worried

"You noticed?" I asked

"Of course I noticed, so what's wrong" he said holding my shoulders

I took a breath

"Um..."
