I Want to Forget

Chapter 8

"So it is broken?" I ask.

"Yeah, didn't you see the bone pop out of my flesh!" Toby exclaims. We both shudder, remembering that night. It was Monday, the week after. Toby had broken his arm from foolishly running from the teacher in the parking. Honestly, if he hadn't toilet papered the school with his friends then that wouldn't have happened. Speaking of which, the principal still doesn't know who the culprit is. If they ever do, then those boys will get in some serious trouble. I really don't care what happens, I just don't want Toby to be expelled or I don't want those boys mentioning my name. I didn't do anything I just watched ad enjoyed myself.

"So, why did you do that anyway?" I ask.

"Do what?" Toby asks.

"Toilet paper the school," I whisper.

"I don't know, it sounded fun.....but then I broke my arm.....so that blew."

"You could get in some serious trouble, you might get expelled."

"Are you worried about me?" Toby smirks raising an eyebrow.

"No.....I just don't want you I spill about me being there...." I wasn't lying, but I was worried about him too.

"Don't worry, Paris they won't catch us."

"Are you sure?"

"If they do, I would never tell them about you and your friends being there."

"Thank you, I was really worried the whole weekend," I tell him.

"Gees, you really don't trust me."

"No!" I blurt," Umm......I wasn't really worried about you telling......I was worried your friends would."

"Ha, they would much rather rat me out then you.....which is why I am worried....."

"Why would your friends rat you out?" I ask worriedly. Toby looks at me.

"Uhh, pretend I didn't say anything."

"Come on you can tell me." Toby shakes his head. I start to poke him.

"Come on you can tell me." I start to annoy him," You can tell me, you can tell me."

"Paris stop!" He snaps. I look at him hurt.

"Sorry, that was just really annoying." I smile.

"I know that was the point. I really want you to tell me."

"Paris, I have to work....."

"Ok....."I groan. I walk back to my seat next to Jackie. She was....painting her nails?? I give her an odd look.

"What!" She snaps.

"Nothing....." I say slowly.

"You made that really obvious by the way."

"What?" I ask confused. Jackie stops what she is doing and looks at me.

"You obviously like him....."

"No I don't!"

"Yeah you do! The way you were annoying him on purpose and the way you want to know what is going on his life. You obviously like him." I squint my eyes and contort my face. Jackie gives me an odd look. I give in and sigh.

"Fine! I do like him."

"I knew it."

"But you absolutely can NOT tell a soul!" I tell her seriously.

"Why would I do that! You are my friend!" Jackie assures me," Ok tell me all about your current relationship."

"What relationship?"
