The Girl I Bullied Is A Supermodel?!

Thirteenth Birthday Party Ruined

Cole has been acting very strange today. Ever since he noticed my locket. I'm starting to think that he knows something about it, or maybe who gave it to me. He has been glancing at it all day, and it's sort of bugging me.

"Would you stop that?" I whispered in a hiss, trying not to get the teacher's attention.

"Stop what?" He asked me back, and continued to stare at my locket.

"Stop staring at my locket, it's weirding me out." I tell him, and he sighs.

"I'm sorry it's just..." He started.

"It's just... What?" I asked him curiously.

"Nothing," he mumbled.

I gave him my 'this isn't over' face, to which he looked away from me. Not looking at me for the rest of the class.

After the bell rang, Cole tried to dash out of the classroom, but I grabbed him by his sleeve before he could. "What's going on Cole?" I asked him. "And don't tell me it's nothing, I know it's something." I tell him, and he looks down at my locket again.

"What if I told you... I knew who left that locket there?" He asked me.

"Then I'd tell you to tell me who it was," I replied.

"Would you believe me if I told you it was... Me?" He asked me, and I stared at him confused.

"That depends," I told him.

"On what?" He asked me back.

"It depends on if you did it," I replied. "Did you?" I ask him.

"Ummm, what would be your reaction?" He asked me.

"You'll have to tell me to find out." I told him, and waited for him to tell me.

"I-it was me," he mumbled.

"Huh," I thought aloud.

"What?" He asked me back.

"I knew you had something to do with it, but I didn't know you actually were the one who left it for me." I told him.

"Oh, how?" He asked me.

"You kept staring at it all day," I replied. "Why'd you leave it for me anyways?" I asked him.

"Um, I used to uh, I used to like you..." He mumbled to me.

"What?" I asked him.

"I said I used to like you, like, as a crush... I guess you could say?" He told me.

"Y-you did?" I asked him, a slight stutter in my tone. Cole nodded his head bashfully at me. 'Huh, never thought I'd see the day when he's bashful.' I thought to myself. "How come you never told me that you left me the locket? Or that you even liked me?" I asked him.

"I was going to, but you never gave me the chance, remember?" He asked me, and I thought back to my thirteenth birthday.

{Flashback (pretend it's in italics, I can't get it on my phone)}

It was my thirteenth birthday, and all my friends were here. Even my crush, Cole, decided to come, but I had a feeling that he only came because of my brother. They were best friends, although my brother was a year older than Cole.

"Arielle," someone called. I looked over my shoulder to see my best friend's brother, Jordan, walking over to me. "I just wanted to say you look very pretty today." He tells me, and I blush. Jordan was one of the cutest boys in my grade, besides from Cole, that is.

"Thank you," I replied happily. "Where is Juli?" I asked him, and he looked around, then shrugged.

"Probably getting your presents," he told me. "Anyways, how does it feel to finally be thirteen?" He asked me, and I beamed at him.

"Awesome!" I said cheerfully. He laughed and ruffled my hair affectionately.

"So, have you told Cole about your uh," he cleared his throat and gave me a look. I sighed and shook my head. "How come?" He asked me, and I shrugged again. "Alright, fine, don't tell your best friend's brother," he says with a smile.

"You're my second brother, from another mother, and father..." I say, and Jordan laughs.

"Yup," he said with a happy smile. "I hope you or him confesses soon," he said.

"What?" I ask him, and stare at him with confusion.

Jordan looked at me with a thoughtful look on his face. "It's so obvious that he likes you too, he's just a coward." He tells me, and I shook my head, not believing that my crush liked me back. I mean, who would? I was a tallish girl with brown frizzy hair, braces, and glasses. Oh, and who could forget... Acne. Ugh, I hate acne.

"No he doesn't," I say with a shake of my head.

"You might not believe it, but he does." He tells me, and wraps his arm around my shoulder. Suddenly, I feel something squishy on my backside.

I turn around and see Cole standing there with a guilty look on his face as he looked at me. Turning towards the mirror, I realized that my new, and favorite dress had been ruined. Why, because of the huge chocolate cake stain.

Everyone began to laugh, except three people, Cole, Juliet, and Jordan. Everyone else was laughing. I ran to my room, crying, and I practically tore of the light pink dress. I changed and put on a pair of jeans, and a purple shirt.

"Arie," I heard someone say through the pounding door. I glared at the door, and then sighed sadly.

"Go away, Cole." I whispered, just loud enough for him to hear.

"Arie, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"Go away!" I screamed, but my voice cracked at the end. "Go away, just go away." I mumbled this time.

"Arie... I have to give you your gift first." He told me, and I sighed.

"Leave it on my bedside table and go," I said. Then I unlocked the door for him to come in, and then went to the shower. Everyone had left by then, so I decided to take a shower and then go to bed.

Once I was out, Cole was gone, so I decided to go to bed. In the morning I looked all over for his gift, what I was a teenager who acted like a kid, don't tell me you didn't love presents too! Anyways I couldn't find it, but I didn't give up. After a long time of searching, I sighed frustrated and took a break.

It wasn't a week after that though when my brother gave me a gift, telling me that the giver didn't want to be known, yet. So I opened it and there was the locket.
