My Valentine

The Paris trip (Part 1)

*time skip- December*

Some months have gone by since me and Kevin had broken up. I kept being single and never looked at Kevin's face ever again. He tried to talk with me some times but I just ignored him completely. I was still heartbroken and even though I loved him, I had to put my mental health first. I managed to avoid him for some months, except when we were at school, since he still sat in front of me. I asked the teacher to change seats with literally anyone but sadly no one wanted to. I was stuck in that place, having to see Kevin everyday, it was extremely painful to me. The only person that helped me through that was Ken. He was literally the only person who got my pain, because he was also suffering from the same, so we got each other. On the months that passed we grew closer. We would go out all the time, and we had lots of fun at Olivia's concert, I got the Guts World tour bracelet and the tour hoodie and light stick, and I was forever greatful for that experience. Ken was one of the funniest people to hang out with, because he knew lots of nice places to go to. One time we went to an arcade near his house, and we had the best time playing the old games. It was so much fun! Ken was literally the best, I loved him so much.
Anyways, it was finally December, which meant the trip to Paris was finally happening! The only bad part about that was that Kevin was still in my French class, which meant we were going to be there together... That really sucked. The only thing that made me forget about that was that Ken's school was also participating on that trip, since it was planned between both schools. Another bad part about that was that Isa ( yeah, THE Isa ) was also from his school. I hated Isa, she was just so stupid and mean, I couldn't believe that I actually trusted her... And then she was with Kevin, and they seemed happy together...
Either ways, I had to stop thinking about that, it was only hurting me more. I was going to Paris with my best friend and I was going to have fun. I was going to ignore Kevin and Isa, and everything was going to be okay.
It was 6 a.m. and I was packing my bags for the trip. My mom was helping me chose some things to take with me and she grabbed the "Superache is for virgins" tee, the exact second I started thinking about the Conan concert and everything Kevin and I went through during that time... I started crying.
- Emily, are you okay, sweetie? Why are you crying?
- It's nothing, mom. I just remembered of Kevin...
- Oh sweetheart... it's okay, mom knows what is like to be heartbroken by someone you truly loved. I'm here to listen if you wanna talk about it, or if you want I can only give you a big hug.
- Thank you, mom. It's okay.
- Are you sure??
- Yeah... I'm sure.
- Anyways, if one day you need someone to listen, I'm always here for you my love!
- I know, mom, and I really appreciate that. I love you so much!
- I love you, too!
After that we kept packing some stuff for the trip. Even though it reminded me of Kevin, I decided to wear the "Superache is for virgins" tee. I had to get over Kevin and this was the best way to do it. I also grabbed my earphones and started listening to "Superache". As soon as I clicked to hear it on random, "Movies" started playing, it felt like a personal attack, not gonna lie...
Well, he didn't went back to his ex, but still he had the guts to find another girl the second we broke up, what the hell was even that?!? I should have expected that, after all, he was the one who had a girlfriend and the second they broke up he started dating me... what a jerk player was that Kevin. Maybe listening to "Superache" in a moment like that wasn't my best idea. Then I decided to listen to "Kid Krow" instead, and again, I put it on random. The second I clicked for it to play, "Heather" started playing... NOW THAT WAS TOO MUCH!!! I decided that I wasn't going to listen to Conan after all...
I decided to listen to Olivia instead. I put "Love is embarrassing" to play because that song always made me feel better, it was way too real, let's admit it. I decided to take my light stick from the "Guts world tour " with me, just because I really loved it.
I kept packing some more stuff, the trip was only 1 week but I needed enough stuff for that time, specifically stuff that helped me ignore both Kevin and Isa... they were the worst!! So then I put some mystery books in my backpack and a notebook so I could draw on the plane trip, since it was going to take HOURS to arrive to Paris.
After packing everything I needed, my mom took me to the airport. It was hard saying goodbye to my mom since I've never been anywhere without her, but we knew it was only a week so we'd be together again. Then I said goodbye to Jewel who went with us to the airport and I gave her a big hug and then she licked my face. She was such a cutie patootie, I was gonna miss her so much, but it was time for me to go.
I saw some of my classmates and my French teacher so I said one more goodbye and then left to meet with the group.
I looked around and I saw Alice and Ash, I missed my girls so much!!! The whole group wasn't together as much as we used to since we had all started dating. It was so good being together with my best friends!!! We talked for a while and then we tried to find Ken, but instead of seeing him we saw Barbie. We were extremely surprised, we weren't expecting her to be there, but then she came and started talking with us.
- Hi, Emily!
- Hi, Barbie?
- How are you? I heard you broke up with Kevin... Are you okay?
- Huh? Yeah... I guess. Why are you asking? And how do you even know we broke up?
- Well, actually my girlfriend is friends with Ken and he told her...
- Wait... you have a girlfriend?
- Yes, she's that girl over there. Eva, come here!
- Hi!!!
- Guys, this is Eva, my girlfriend.
- Hey, nice to meet you, Eva!- we all said.
- Hi, my name is Evangeline, but you can simply call me Eva! I'm from England.
- Oh, a British girl! Nice to meet you.- Alice said.
- Nice to meet you, Eva!- Ash said as well.
- Hi Eva! It's nice to meet you! Anyways, since when are you so sweet and nice, Barbie?
- Well... since I broke up with Heather, I realized how bad I was to y'all when you didn't do anything to me. Then, I met Eva, and she made me realize that I was just wasting my days acting so stupid, and I decided to change that!! Now, here I am.
- It's good to know that you changed, I hope you really won't become the way you used to be again...
- I won't, I promise.
- What are promises for other than break your trust...
- I was wondering...- Eva said.- Can we join you in the trip? We actually don't have any friends and... we didn't want to spent this trip completely alone.
- Sure... Why not?- I said, even though I didn't really trust them after all.
- Yey!!!
- Class, get together, the plane is arriving so we are entering soon!!!
- Let's go, the teacher is calling us.
- Ok Emily, let's go.- Alice said.
We all went to join the whole group, and that was when I saw Kevin.
He was with some guys from another class that I didn't know. He was laughing and I tried to ignore him and keep walking but then he saw me. I got nervous and I didn't know what to do. He was with a black long jacket that he then took off and put on his arm, and that was when I realized that he was wearing his "Superache is for virgins" tee. We were wearing THE SAME T-SHIRT AND GOING TO THE SAME PLACE!!! I wanted to run and hide, I couldn't believe we ended up matching clothing ACCIDENTALLY!!! That was the worst thing possible and I had no clue what to do...
- Hey, Emy, isn't Kevin wearing the same shirt as you? Are you guys matching or something?- a random guy from my class asked.
- No, we're not. Please, leave me alone.
- Jeez, you didn't have to be so mean...
- Emily... what are you going to do about that?
- About what, Alice?
- Didn't you check your insta before we arrived...
- What...?
Alice then showed me a picture of Kevin with the caption "Single again feels so good!". I couldn't believe that. He broke up with Isa? But they barely even dated at all... but then again, he was a goddamn player. I bet he did that because he wanted to try and get together with some French girl during our trip. He was actually so disgusting... I couldn't believe I actually dated him ever in my life. Thanks god it was over, I couldn't take dating a player like him. He was so stupid when it came to girls, how could he even be a Conehead? He should be ashamed of wearing Conan's merch knowing the things he had done. Coneheads were great people and he definitely wasn't one after all he did...
I just had to ignore him, it couldn't be that hard as it seemed... could it?
After some minutes we started entering in the plane, it was my first time traveling to a country so far from the USA and I was kinda nervous. I tried looking for Ken at the airport and then inside the plane but I couldn't see him anywhere. People kept entering and there was an empty seat next to mine. I thought it was a good thing and I felt relieved I didn't have anyone next to me, but then... Kevin appeared and sat next to me.
