"You were texting damon what do you mean?" 

"So I can't have friends now?" John and cece were fighting in lunch and their table is right next to ours.

"Can they shut up?" Nina says.

"Yeah for real, like nobody cares about your realtionship" Giada says fixing the bandages on her nose.

"Hows your nose giada?" Alyssa asked.

"It hurts, but what hurts more was my body because I kept getting stepped on" She replied.

"You a cheating whore, go to damon" john yelled.

"I don't want to hear it, you have been flirting with elonna all week" she yells.

"That's a joke I dont actually like her" What? He doesn't even like me? What was the point of this whole thing, what's the point of living?

"Fuck you cece, rot in hell" he yelled across the cafeteria.

"Your a self centered egotiscital man whore!!" She screamed. Mrs. DiVito walked passed out table and said,

"Somebodys got their paint brush in a twist today" referring to cece. Nobody laughed, we just stared at her confused, and she walked away. The bell rang and lunch was over, I threw my lunch out and started walking to science class. I passed by John Zimmerman and I saw his eyes, his beautiful pools of brown eyes were glossed over with a coat of thick water. He was trying not to cry, I honestly felt bad, I mean I could give a shit about him somedays, but I felt horrible.

"What are you looking at?" He said choking on his words trying not to cry. I didn't respond, not wanting to further this conversation.

10:38 pm

I sat in my bed thinking about john, I still felt bad about what happened earlier. I decided to text him,

Me: you up?

John: how did you get this number?

Me: forget about that...I just feel bad about your breakup

John: once again, why would you feel bad?

Me: idk I just do😛

John: wtf

Me: sorry I didnt mean to add that emoji

John: okay...

Me: wanna hang?

John: like tonight?

Me: ya

John: ok, where you live?

Me: 69 linsey😚

John: dude you gotta stop it with the emojis..

Me: ok ok

John: I'll throw pebbles at your window, so u know when I'm there mamas

Me: I'll see u then..

I closed off my phone and put on my best crop top, and short-shorts. I layed down on my bed waiting for john to get to my house. 17 minutes later I heard my mother scream, and glass shatter. I ran into her room and saw the window shattered with a big hole in it.

"What happened?" I said.

"Some boy threw a brick through my window!!" I look out the window to see john shrugging nonchalantly.

"Shhhh mom, it's just a dream, go back to sleep" I said pushing her down to her bed next to my dad. I motioned john to go to through the front door, I unlocked it for him and let him inside. He was wearing Adias skin tight sweats and an under armor hoodie, hes so fashionable... I led him upstairs and into my room, and he sat down on my bed. I sat at the end of my bed near his feet.

"Sooo" I said in awkwardness trying to break the silence.

"Your mom seemed pissed about the window, sorry" john said.

"Its fine, I'll have my brother fix it later" I said. I moved and sat down next to him and he moved over. We looked at each other for a little bit, until john said,

"If you had an ass, it would look so good in those shorts" I smile

"That's the nicest thing I've heard all day" I say honestly. I looked over to john and he smiled, he leaned in trying to kiss me, but I dodged him.

"I don't want to be some rebound" I said talking about cece.

"I mean you just broke up with her today" I added

"Your not a rebound" john said putting his hand on my cheek

"Your a retard" he added, I smiled as my heart warmed. He leaned in once again, but it was stopped by somebody opening my door. I turned and it was my father..

"Why in gods green earth is there a white boy in my daughters bed room?" He yelled.

"Daddy, I can explain I-" I started. He sniffed and made a disgusted face,

"I smell lies...and axe body spray, is that you" he said pointing to john.

"Um, yes Kevin sir" he said stuttering.
My dad grabs his bat and says,

"You have 10 seconds to get out of my house before I whoop your ass out of here" he yelled. John got up and tried running to the doorway, but my dad was covering it. He stood there in confusion.

"5 seconds" my dad says. John gets scared and jumps right through my bedroom window, leaving glass everywhere and he jumped off my porch roof and ran away.

"Your the worst father ever" I yelled at him and threw myself to my pillow. I cried myself to sleep that night, still thinking about john.
