Wherever You Are

Chapter 7

When I open the picture it's Lee walking down the hallway in a white T-shirt with his headphones in and he looks so cute. I'm still in shock I forget Francis even texted me. I stare at the picture and I get on Twitter tweet my usual tweet about him but he has no clue. I really hope Clayton doesn't tell Lee about the whole lock screen thing. That would be really embarrassing. That night I find a really good movie about how a girl in highschool finds this jock she falls in love with but he doesn't really notice her and it makes me really upset because nobody's can get guys but me. But obviously they fall in love all that lame crap.

My parents already ate all the pizza they ordered so I just made a bowl of cereal. They usually forget about me and I'm use to do. That night I lay down and look at the picture one more time and have another dream of him. We were getting married. I wake up that morning and all this is really starting to get to me. I'm losing my mind toward this kid and it's killing me. That morning I find a cute summer shirt and a pair of white pair of shorts to wear. Donald probably wouldn't let me where shorts to school so I put a pair of long jeans on and cover them up then I'll put them in my bag and on the bus ill put them back on. I look really cute today. When I get to school I see William with Maria of course and I know they feel something for each other but they won't admit it.

As the bell rings I find Grace and walk with her to science but this class is usually fun but we had a test so class went by fast. We talked about Lee some and Brandon the guy who sits with me, Grace, and Michelle wanted to know who Lee was.

"You girls are weird." Brandon says.

"Just because I creep on his Instagram everyday means nothing." He stares at me but doesn't say anything. I know he has stalked girls before but he needs to shut it before I shut it for him. The class seems like it went by pretty fast and I look for Lee but don't see him at all.

"See you in theater Mel." Grace Says. I ignore her because I race down the hall and catch up with Francis and he's no where to be found. What if he moved away or what if he died? I'm so upset. He always makes my day and he's not here. Ew. If I was dating him he would be in so much trouble right now.

"What's wrong?" Francis asks.

"Nothing."

"Oh I know. Little Lee isn't here is he?" Says Francis. I roll my eyes at here and ignore her completely. I walk into Spanish and sit down without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Nicole asks.

"Nothing."

"I can tell Melissa. Lee isn't here is he."

I raise my voice and say "Why does everyone think I am in love with him or something. I don't even know him."

"Shut up and seat down." The Spanish teacher says. She freaking hates me. Nicole gives me a look but looks away for a minute then gives me a big hug and of course I cry. Why am I crying? He doesn't know me and I don't know him. How can this be. I am not in love I can't be in love. Melissa doesn't fall in love.

The rest of my week is horrible and I don't see Lee for the rest of the week. I miss him terribly but I can't. He posts a few pictures on Instagram but he doesn't like any of the few I posted so I know Clayton told him. My life is ruined I'm just gonna spend the week at my friends and maybe I'll be able to get all of this off my mind.

Friday night I went over to my grandmas and stayed. I told her about the whole Lee ignoring me and she said he's not worth it so I just drop it. Saturday morning comes and I get all dressed for the mall and my grandma gives me twenty dollars for the mall and she's such a beautiful person and I make it clear to her like always. She takes me to the mall and I see Maria and William standing but no Ann.

"Hey guys." I say.

"Hey mental Mel." William says as he laughs.

"Don't call me that."

As we walk around the food court we see Francis, Nicole, and Michelle. "Where's Rafaela?" I say.

"Oh she has JROTC practice this morning so she couldn't come." Nicole says.

"Oh I'm sorry.." I say.

"Its alright." As we walk around the mall we see Nate. He he's following these girls around like little puppies and he's making a joke out of himself. He walks toward us but we laugh really loud and ignore him. We see Charlotte Russe our favorite store and we try some cute skirts that they have on sale and of course me and Maria buy them.

"I think I'm gonna get a new thong." Michelle says.

"You wear thongs?" Maria says.

"Yeah every girl does?"

"Ha. Not me."

"I'm gonna buy you one." I say.

"Really? Go ahead." And of course knowing me I do. Then we walk out of the store and we see Ann Williams girlfriend. She walks right by us looks him straight in the eye and doesn't say a word. We all look at William and he's really upset and it kills maria the most and they go over and talk and he's pain just hurts her and they both end up crying.

"They belong together." Michelle says.

"Right!" I say.

"See they are even hugging." Nicole Says. As they come back we keep quiet and don't say a word.

"I'm sorry William." I say.

"It's alright I'm just a little upset she wouldn't even hug me or even say hi. It's like she's embarrassed of me or something and I can't take it." He says.

"Leave her." Nicole says.

"Nicole they've been together for like five months." Says Michelle.

"So." Through out the day Maria hangs around William and he seems to like her attention and they are both happy so known one says anything. It's getting close to Francis game and we all leave and go home. Everyone cancels expect me, William, and Maria. I feel like I'm third wheeling but we are all friends so I guess it's okay. The game is pretty long but when William gets here everything seems more interesting.

"Hey guys."

"Hey will." Maria says. We have a usual conversation till William brings up Ann.

"So guys I don't care anymore if Ann leaves me it doesn't bother me anymore." He says.

"What?" Maria says. I see a little smile on her face but I keep quiet.

"Yeah she's hurting me and I don't care about her anymore."

"Then leave her." She says. I grab Williams shorts and climb in the and take pictures and said "I got into Williams pants." And send them to her on Snapchat just to piss her off.

The softball game is finally over and Francis got two homeruns and I'm so proud of her. I finally get home and take a long bath and then after all this time he gets in my head again. After my bath I lay down and it doesn't take that long to fall asleep.
