When I look back I can see Alana, Devin, Jade and sitting on the far bleachers and I wish I was there instead of where I am now.
"Ok what about Noah?" I snap
"How do you know him." Unbelievable.
"I told you this already, we're old friends."
Jake clenches his jaw and stares me right in the eyes.
"Where did you go after you ran out of my house," I'm slightly frightened by him right now but I know he's only saying this stuff out of concern.
I mean did I lie when I was at his house?
We technically are only friends.
Maybe sometimes Jakes acts weirdly protective and decides to randomly hang out with me a lot but isn't that the definition of friends?
To be honest I'm trying to convince myself that right now.
"I went to Noah's, Jake." I'm slightly pissed at how petty Jake is being right now but how on earth can he sleep with a girl one night and then the get mad at the fact I'm friends with Noah?!
"Of course you did," he mumbles "Do you like him."
what...
"No I don't like him Jake are you in fourth grade." I scoff.
"Did you like him?" past tense... I don't say a word nor look into his eyes.
"Did you date him?"
I hardly see how any of that is his business.
"No. Technically I didn't date him." I turn away and start to walk anywhere away from him.
"Did you love him?" I freeze. I think about turning around and slapping him but I don't. I just keep walking.
"Heyyy beautiful where have you been?" Jade says wrapping her arms around me.
"Just had to hand in some homework," I lie.
I can't help but think of the audacity Jake has. He doesn't even know me. All he knows is that I'm a girl that's been in his class since I moved here. That's all he needs to know.
"Guess what, you know how all the seniors get to go on a beach trip for a whole weekend. Guess what! The list of the groups that are going each week are up!!"
Finally good news!
"We got to choose our own groups too!" Alana shrieks.
I run over to the list with all the names and look down for ours.
Week 8 Beach weekend group:
Issy H
Patrick A
...
Nope wrong one.
Week 9 Beach weekend group:
Alana T
Amelia E
Jade O
Devin S
Ryan E
Noah L
Jackson M
Sadie R
Brook P
Alec H
+5 other people
I recognise all the names on the list except Jackson.
"Who's that?" I say pointing at his name.
"Me." I hear from behind me.
When I spin around to who the voice belongs to and I'm brought to a familiar face.
Jake.
"Jake my dude," Ryan says going in for a weird guy handshake.
Jake turns to me and there's a slight smirk on his face.
Luckily, the bell rings and we all get split up.
I check my timetable to see gym first. Great.
When Jade and I walk into class everyone is paired up.
"Ok guys Prom is soon so if you could all get into pairs and we will start learning the dances."
I thought this was gym not dance the worst dances created class.
I go to pair up with Ryan so Jade can dance with Devin.
"Stop stepping on my feet," I complain.
"It's not my fault you're not stepping the right way," Ryan says extremely frustrated.
I look up to look at Ryan because he has suddenly become extremely quiet.
He's staring at Devin, you can see a little bit of jealousy in his eyes.
"He really likes Jade you know," Ryan beams his head towards me and gives me a questioning look.
"What, who? I was staring at- at- Lucy," He struggled to find words and starts to panic.
"Ryan. I know."
"What but- but how." I wrap my arms around him to calm him and I feel his arms hug my back.
"It's okay, I won't tell anyone I promise."
"Thank you," I hear him mumble.
To be honest Ryan is the last person I think would be gay but I guess that's why he's surprised I know, he hides it so well. Constantly talking about girls and who he hooked up with. I like knowing things others don't, it gives me a certain amount of power.
"Amelia! Ryan! This is no time for any of that."
I realise we're still hugging so we quickly start dancing again trying to hold our laughter together.
Everyone looks over at us and gives us dirty looks. Probably think I'm trying to steal their man. Little do they know he's trying to steal theirs too.
Someone take my thoughts away from me please.
The bell for our next class starts to ring but I really don't want to go.
I grab out the journal my grannie gave me and decided to read another entry while sitting in a bathroom stall.
Dear Grannie Alice,
Today was amazing! I had my first kiss.
I was sitting next to Noah on his piano stool whilst he played, he truely is talented.
When he finished his song I was speechless. Then he leaned in and kissed me! I think I'm starting to like him, it's a weird feeling.
I now spend a lot of time with Noah and his family because Dad doesn't come home a lot. I make my own dinner with the recipes you taught me and I wash all the laundry.
Noah's mom bought me a soccer ball for my birthday and I've used it every day since.
Dad has also started packing our things in boxes, I don't know why but I'm scared if I ask he might get angry at me.
Noah and I were watching a movie the other night and that whole time I didn't think about anything other than him. He keeps reassuring me everything will be ok and that he's always there for me.
Thats all :)
-Amelia <3
It's weird to read what I once wrote, all the memories are crystal clear. Like I'm re-living the moments.
"Millie?" I hear someone yell but I can't make out their voice.
