I just stood there shocked and unknowing what to do. My friends kept asking what was wrong with me and why I wasn't moving, until they saw what I was looking at. My friends didn't know that I made that rumor about Josh and thought that after Josh and I broke up, we were still friends. So they thought it was a good idea to call Josh over. Before I can stop them, my friend screams, " JOSHHHHHHH HIIIIIIII," Josh looked over at us and walked towards us. All I wanted to do was punch my friend in the face but I still couldn't move. Why can't I run? I'm trying to run but my legs aren't working. What is wrong with me? Before I could turn around Josh came up and suddenly hugged me. He said, " Hey long time no see how have you been?" When he pulled back, I was about to burst into tears. 

Seeing Josh so happy to see me, I couldn't take it anymore.

Josh looked at me waiting for a response but there was none. Then he noticed what I was wearing. " Wow you look so good. Are you going to a party?" Why, why does Josh have to be at the mall at the same time as me. I looked up at Josh with tears in my eyes. I just stared at him and a second later I didn't realize that I dropped the bag of drinks on the floor until I felt a sharp pain on my foot. I winced.

Then he asked worriedly, " Woah are you okay?" I still gave no answer. He then looked at my foot and saw that I got cut from the glass. Before anyone could react he carried me, marriage style,  and took me to the food court. What in the hell is happening to me? Why is he carrying me like this ughhhh!!

I hid my face in embarrassment on Josh's shoulder and looked to my friends for help. They just smiled and waved goodbye. Great friends am I right?

Josh carried me to a frozen yogurt stand and bought me a $20 yogurt bucket. How rich is this man?

He sat me down at an empty table and he started to bandage my foot with his shirt. At this point, he literally doesn't have a shirt on. He's literally half naked in the mall. But thank god no one was around us or else I would be very embarrassed. So all I did was sit there, staring at him and his actions. Wait, does he have abs? 
I looked up and saw that he was staring at me. He then asked what's wrong.

That's when I was finally able to apologize to him. I stood up, wobbling a bit because of my foot and realized that I couldn't stand because of the cut so I sat back down and started to cry.

" Josh, I am so sorry. I'm sorry about what happened at school, I'm sorry it's all my fault."

He pulled his chair closer to me and sat down.
" What do you mean? Nothing about anything has to do with you. You're perfect."
I'm sorry, is he trying to flirt with me after I built all this courage to apologize to him.
" What no, I'm far from perfect."
" What do you mean?"
That's when I knew it was time to explain everything.

" People think that popular kids have a perfect life and are always perfect. The problem is that that is far from the truth. Us popular kids are just selfish and jerks."
" HEY don't say that about yourself!"
Oh but you don't know Josh. That's when I said,
" Josh I made that stupid rumor about you. The rumor that made you leave the school. I was so jealous when I saw that you had a new girlfriend because I still loved you and I still love you now. I've been feeling guilty ever since you left and it's all my fault." I started to sob. But my crying stopped when I heard a giggle.

I looked up and saw that Josh was LAUGHING.

He caught me staring at him and immediately stopped laughing thinking he could fool me. It went silent.

Then he started to laugh again.

" Why are you laughing! I just told you awful things I did and what do you do? LAUGH!"
" Sorry I don't mean to laugh but I didn't leave the school because of that rumor. Well not intentionally."
HOLD UP!!!
" Wait what?"
" Yeah, that rumor was really mean and kinda hurt my feelings but the real reason I left the school was because I got accepted into the Magnet program at a different school. I was fine leaving school because I lowkey hated this school." There was then an awkward long pause. Then he instantly says, " Wait you made that rumor about me?" Oh crap

" Yah I did and I'm really sorry, i'veneverbeenjealousbefore... and  itfeltalittleweirdsoIthoughthatifImadethatrumoraboutyouandI.."

Wait, why can't I talk anymore? Something is stopping me from talking. What stopped me was..... Josh's lips on mine.

Omg
