It was a friday night and here i was laying in my bed and staring at the ceiling, feeling sorry for myself. Good thing my parents were on a date night, i didnt want them to see my like this. The memory of what happened earlier at school kept replaying in my mind and it was tourture. Too make matters worse? Jemal's party would be starting in a couple of hours. My phone rang and i hesitated to anwer it, but then chose to anyway.
"Hello, you have reached lonley and misrable, how can i help you" I answered in a meloncholy tone.
"Jocelyn stop acting like that!" Jordan said on the other end.
"How do you expect me to act. He Knows. And he hasn't said two words to me since he found out."
"Oh he will come around. Knowing him he probably is just trying to get his thoughts together."
"Stop lying to yourself Jordan, and stop lying to me. If Jemal felt the same way he would have told me by now. Nothing is stopping him" I heard her sigh on the other end.
"Well did you hear from Haley since the incident?"she asked
"Nope, But Des texted me and said she would be at Jemal's party tonight. Probably to reedeem her reputation. "
"We have to go to that party." Jordan suggested
"NO way am I showing my face there." And then i realized something. "Wait, you want to go dont you?" i asked her
"After that son of a bitch hardly defended me earlier, not really. But we need to keep an eye on Haley and make sure shes not trashing your name or anything like that".
"I no longer care what Haley does. She could spray paint my biggest secret on a skyscrapper for all i care. Doesnt change the fact Jemal isnt talking to me still" Suddenly there was a knock on my front door."Someones at the door Jor, I call you later"
"Okay. and cheer up. Maybe i will stop by later" She told me before hanging up. I Slowly trudged down the steps. I wasnt in any type of hurry. When i opened the door i was completley surprised and caught off gaurd to see the person in front of me.
Jemal.
He scratched the back of his head seeming to not know what to say. Finally after a minute of akward silence i found the words to speak. "Uhm do you want to come in?" I asked, afraid he might say no.
"Yeah, we need to talk"
Five minutes later we were both in my living room and you could cut the tension with a butcher knife.
I cleared my throat. "Do you want something to drink or a snack"
"Na i have alot of stuff at the house,my party starts in a hour."
"oh" It was really weird that usually Jemal and I could talk for days but now i had no clue what to say to him.
"Look, about what happened earlier, why didnt you just tell me?" No use in lying now.
"Because i didnt want you to reject me. And i didnt want to lose our friendship"
"But we said we wouldn't keep secerets from each other."
"I know, and I was going to tell you but then Haley got in the way and...." I trailed off. His eyes seemed to darken at the sound of Haley's name.
"I haven't even heard from Haley since the cafeteria. But i want to know how she found out you liked me and why she kept it a seceret. And no more lying Jocelyn I want the truth" He said sternly
So I told him everything. From the talk i had with Jordan in the bathroom when Haley found out my plan to tell him i liked him and stole it, to her blackmailing me into going to the dance with Trevor.
