The Art of Moving On

8. The Note

"He said all that to you! And since when did he start liking you?" Joy stared at me with wide eyes. I shrugged my shoulders and sipped on the juice box that Joy had brought. I was about to say something else, but I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I turned around to see a girl holding a note.

She clicked her tongue before saying, "It's for you." I let out a small thank you while taking the paper. I opened the note and scanned the messily written note. Nonetheless, the unfamiliar handwriting did make me feel a little threatened and paranoid.

I call dibs on Jake, so stay away from him. He's mine. Better watch out the next time you're with him cause I've got my eyes on you. So you better back off. I'm warning you. Stay in your place. If you cross the line, then I guess that your little secret will have to be revealed.

I crushed the paper in my hand as I discreetly looked around to see if anyone had their eyes on me. Who the hell sent me this note? And what secret are they talking about? My heart raced as I thought out the possible secrets that could be revealed. I felt Joy snatch the note out of my hand, but I could care less. Little did I know that on the other side of the school building, there were three girls who would try and sabotage the love life that I was yet to enter. But little did they know that I wasn't going to let that happen.
