When we got back to school, it had become very awkward I walked the hallways not speaking, just moving quickly to my locker. My shyness had come back. I felt as if everyone in the world was weird again except for my friends. I saw those cliques again. Jocks hanging out with jocks, populars with populars, geeks with geeks, nerds with nerds, and the others spread out. When I finally saw Jayden I was thrilled to see him. We walked to Study Hall together. Once we got there I pulled out my books and my binder. I didn't really do anything in Study Hall. I just thought about things, like if I'm only comfortable around Jayden and Jillian, I also thought about if I just shouldn't like Jayden because it's causing so many problems for me at school. My shyness had come back, my friend Jillian and I are in a fight, and I'm only focusing on him. I'll decide later.
During lunch I had realized that I still hadn't gotten my journal back yet. I walked over to Jillian and asked her specifically "where's my journal." She pointed over to the jocks' table. I walked away and went to go find the jocks table to retrieve my journal. As I stopped in the middle of the cafeteria room I heard them reading it aloud. "I think I might like Jayden" they mimicked me in a girly voice. I dropped my tray and ran away. As I was running away for like the third time I glanced at Jillian. She looked like she was about to cry. I bet she realized that she was being mean. I mean she doesn't even realize that Jayden is her boyfriend I just have a crush on him it's not like I'm stealing him from her.
On the bus I decided that I would talk to Jillian about Jayden. Jayden left early for a dentist appointment so he wasn't on the bus, which was perfect. Jillian sat in the seat in front of me so I moved to the seat in front of me.
"Hi Jillian"
"....hi Lily "
"I'm sorry that I like Jayden but I don't think it's that big of a deal because he's already dating you"
"I know I'm sorry"
"Also you didn't have to give the jocks my journal! You know that I'm still shy"
"I know I'm sorry I brought it back for you I didn't mean to. I have an idea lets have a Jillian and Lily sleepover!!!"
"Ok, let's have it at my house"
So that night we ate pizza, had pillow fights, we watched movies, we played truth or dare, and we stayed up all night talking. She even helped me gain more followers on Instagram, I went from 200 to 567 followers on Instagram. Time passed so fast that I was on the bus going to school. Once I got to school I heard everybody whispering and all I heard were the names, Jayden and Lily. By the time lunch had started I sat down in my chair at the dirty table. When Jayden sat next to me and started talking to me the whole cafeteria was filled with laughter, then everyone started singing, "Lily and Jayden siting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage!" My mouth dropped, I ran to the bathroom. As Jillian walked into the cafeteria unaware of what just happened, I had already run out. Jayden had explained to her what had happened. Jillian was in shock. She had walked away to come find me. I was by my locker. When the bell had rung I hid in my locker. I heard laughing and whispering and talking. I started to cry. I knew I couldn't trust any one.
I decided to walk home that day. I didn't really want to ride the bus if everyone was just going to start laughing at me. As I was walking home I got a call from Jillian.
"Hey Jillian. What's up?..."
"Why aren't you on the bus???"
"To much drama"
"Well Jayden broke up with me..."
"Why?!"
"Because he said that there's too much drama and that it's getting out of hand"
I blushed.
"I'm sorry Jillian. I knew that you really liked him."
"It's okay. I'll talk to you later"
She hung up.
I was starting to feel better. The drama might be decreasing. Less people will be talking about Jayden and I. I skipped happily the rest of the way home.
