If Monday had a face I would punch it.
I really didn't want to go to school. Friday was horrible the way things ended with Jemal and atleast I could hide from him all weekend. After I got out the shower I threw on some green Hollister sweatpants and a Jean jacket. I had nobody to dress up for. Adding my blue All-star converse sneakers and a ponytail, I went outside to my car to go to school.
As soon as I got to school everyone was gossiping about one thing. The one person who was avoiding me. Jemal.
"His party is this week!":
"I heard its going to be the party of the year "
Random people were gushing over the party when most of them weren't even close to Jemal. I knew one thing for sure .. I wasn't invited.
" Hey girl " Jordan greeted me at my locker . "Now I must say the sweats look comfy, but you could have wore your hair out " .
" For what " I asked in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Just a suggestion. You have really pretty hair Jocelyn I don't get why you hide it"
"Whatever. When I feel like wearing my hair down I will."
"Fine" she said in a slightly upset tone. I relized I was been a bit bitchy. She was my only friend right now and was only tryna help.
"Hey, lets get to Henderson's class. I just passed him in the hall and he has on red. I know how much you love red on him'' I informed her trying to lighten the tense mood I had created. It must have worked because a huge smile spread across her face.
"Why didn't you mention this 2 seconds ago lets go"! she yelled grabbing my arm.
We sped down the hall and passed Jemal's locker. I looked at him briefly and our eyes met before he abruptly looked away. I couldn't help the heavy feeling I had in my chest after that.
__________________________________________
"Okay class" Mr. Henderson called our attention." Today we are going to try something new, a partner project". Everybody chatted excitedly picking their partners before he began to talk again. " Settle down, I will be assigning your partners for you for this project". The whole class groaned in unison. "The two of you will have to make a documentary on a college in order to help you guys prepare for next year. I want you to be creative and that will earn you a good grade."
Hmm this doesn't seem so bad. Atleast I can put all my focus into this project and get my mind off of other issues for a while.
"Here are your partners .." Mr.Henderson interupted my thoughts. "Leah and Katie, John and Marrissa,Jordan and Grant, Dion and Lou, Jocelyn and Haley..." Wait. Did he just say what I think he did. I slowly turned my head to look at Haley who was giving me a dirty look. Yep I heard correctly.
"Mr. H, what if we don't like our partner" Haley asked putting emphasis on the word partner. Fine by me, the feeling was mutual.
"Then you could not do the project and fail " He replied. "Now everyone get with your partner for the last 5 minutes of class and make arrangements to get started on your projects"
I really didn't want to work with her but I didn't want to fail either, so I sucked up my pride and sat beside her.
"Look lets make this simple. Be at my house after school today so we can get this over with" she demanded. I wasn't in the mood for arguing so I just lifted my shoulders and went back to my seat. I knew that it annoyed the crap out of her.
"That sucks your stuck with Queen Bitch" Jordan commented.
"Maybe not"
"What do you mean"?
"This is the perfect time for revenge! I'll go to her house and snoop around a little. I have to find some dirt on her in that big house of hers". I plotted.
"Your right" Jordan noded her head in agreement. Then the bells rung signalling the end of class.
On my way to second period I ran into Trevor.
"Hey beautiful". He complimented me.
I let out a sigh. "Hey what's up"
"Nothing much, I was just wondering what color should we wear to the dance, we never actually settled on one color"
"It really doesn't matter"
"Oh cmom, girls love picking out that crap. I don't care about what color you would look great in anything to me". He looked into my eyes deeply and I couldn't help but feel a certain way as I realized he was being completely honest.
"How about blue" I randomly selected to get him to stop bothering me. Trevor really was a nice guy but I couldn't help who I fell for, and that person was Jemal.
"Blue it is. See you later" He said before sending me a wink and walking off.
The day went by quickly after that and before I knew it, it was time to go to Haleys evil layer she called her house.
Time for a little revenge.
