Part 2, Avery’s Heartbreak, Ave’s POV
I arrived at my locker, twenty minutes before school started. When I got to my locker, Avery was standing there waiting for me obviously. She was wearing faded light blue skinny jeans, and a tee shirt that said Girls on the front. She had on a very little amount of makeup and her hair was pulled back into a ponytail at the back of her head. Her shoes were red converse.
“ Hello beautiful.” She said to me the moment she saw me. I opened my locker and hung my sweatshirt up and my bag, unpacking my binders and books.
“ Good morning.” I smiled and we giggled.
“ How did you sleep last night?” She asked me sweetly
“ I slept good, how about you?” I asked her
“ I slept good, I read till really late because I am reading the best book ever, If I Stay.” She tightly embraced me into her arms. I hugged her back, closing my eyes to enjoy it as much as I could. My phone buzzed in my back pocket. Avery pulled away and opened her locker, organizing it a little bit. My phone buzzed because Tom texted me,
Hey Baby, I think that we need to talk… Please text me back He texted me
What’s wrong? Did I do something? I asked him, trying to sound as innocent as possible.
Umm… I don’t know. Why don’t you ever want to talk to me anymore? Are you with someone else? He asked me about a million questions, none of which I wanted to answer.
TOM! Why would you think that? I asked him
I don’t know, It’s just that last night we were talking and all of a sudden you didn’t want to talk to me. You said you had to go with a friend. You usually don’t make friends that soon. He told me
Are you serious? I have made a friend. Her name is Avery and she and I are perfect friends. I told him
Okay, still I want to make plans with you this weekend… He told me
I told you last night that I have already made plans with Avery this weekend. I’m sorry; I’m just trying to settle in. Why don’t you come up though? You can stay over Friday night. I hoped he would say that he couldn’t.
Yes! That will be so fun. I have been missing you here like crazy. I know the directions; I will come down Friday afternoon after school. He texted me, I frowned as his answer turned out to be a yes.
Okay, perfect. I am excited to see you. It’s not the same without you everyday. I texted him, sort of lying. I don’t know what has gotten into me. I mean, I love him but I like Avery. When she kissed me, it was really, well REAL.
I love you Ave. I sucked in my breath.
I know Tom. You should see how much I am smiling right now. Even though I am not smiling.
Okay well I will talk to you after school. Love you.
Ok bye. That was it…
“ My boyfriend is really getting on my last nerve.” I told Avery who was standing next to me that whole time.
“ He is really clingy.” She said to me
“ He wasn’t before I moved. Now that he can’t see me everyday, he wants to make plans with me every weekend. I have a life here now. How am I supposed to know if he is cheating on me?” I asked her
