"The Dilemma of Reconciliation"

Me and Alex hadn't seen each other since we argued, I hadn't called him and he hadn't called me.  I should have called him, but I should also have listened to him that day.  That day my parents and I also had a fight, of course someone filmed it and that video has been spread.  I was standing outside my house waiting for my taxi, it came and I jumped in.  I picked up my cell phone and called Sara,

E: "Hello"

S: "Hi, how are you?"

E: "All right, you?"

S: "Good, I'm out of school with Jake, you then".  I was ashamed to say that me and Alex had fought again, because I knew she was right about us fighting all the time.

E: "Me and Alex have argued again, I'll be there soon"

S: "Oh, are you okay"

E: "Well, we argued about him not wanting to follow me home after parents had argued in front of everyone the night before"

S: "Well, mm I saw the video"

E: "I haven't dared to check yet, but I'm there now"

S: "Okay, see you"

E: "See you".  I jumped out and Sara was standing with Jake outside the school,

"Hello" we said and hugged,

E: "I can't bear to go in"

S: "Why?"

E: "Everyone has put the video".  Suddenly jake started talking,

J:"Everyone has probably already forgotten the video"

E: "No, I actually don't think so"

S: "You can either be absent or accompany in"

E: "Mm come then".  Sara took Jake by the arm and we walked in, everyone staring I KNEW IT.  Jake's words didn't help, it only ruined more.  We went to our lockers, I took out my books and closed the locker.

E: "Sara where are you going?"

S: "Math"

E: "Oh no, I have chemistry, I really can't take it"

S:"You fix it, Jake is waiting for me see you"

E: "Okay, see you".  I started walking towards my classroom, everyone was waiting outside.  I sat down on an armchair outside.  Some looked at me, but they tried not to stare.  Just then the door opens, I walked towards the door and just then Alex came and he bumped into me.

E: "What are you doing, watch yourself?"

S: "Take care yourself".  I went to my friend Taylor who was sitting alone,

E: "Hello, how are you?"

T: "Fine myself, I saw the video, sick that someone is spreading it"

E: "It's okay, I know sick".  Our teacher interrupted us and started talking, of course we were to be divided into groups.  Our teacher pointed to two people and they ended up in a group.  Then my teacher points to Alex and mine of course, I look at Alex and he looks at me.

E: "I can't take it".  I whispered to Taylor.

"Go and sit in your groups".  I got up and sat on a chair next to it.  He didn't look at me and I didn't look at him, our teacher went through what we were supposed to do and gave us an instruction.

A: "Can you pick up the things?"

E: "No, do it yourself".  I picked up my cell phone and started texting Sara,

E: "I ended up in the same group as Alex, I really can't take it"

S: "It's a sign, try to be friends with him"

E: "Hmm, I don't know".  Suddenly I hear, Emma, ​​Emma

Teacher: "Emma, ​​are you there?"

E: "Wha yes"

Teacher: "Alex does everything, join now"

E: "But yes"

Teacher: "Are you friends?".  I looked at Alex and he looked at me,

A: "No we're not" he said quickly,

Teacher: "Okay but Emma start doing something" she said and went away

E: "Why did you say that?"

A: "I don't know, just wanted to get rid of her" he said and smiled, he doesn't want to be at odds.

E: "Well, she is annoying". I said and the little ones laughed,

A: "Mmm"

E:"Alex sorry, I'm so sorry, I really should have listened to you"

A: "No, I should have listened to you, I really understand that you wanted to go home"

E: "Mmm"

A: "Come" he said and stretched out his arms, and we hugged.  Finally I got to feel his good perfume and his warm embrace.  We continued with our project together.  The bell rang, we had had our last lesson.  Everyone pushed out, I went to my locker and put my books in.  I then took out my bag and closed the locker.  Alex stood and waited,

A: "What are you going to do then?"

E: "I'm going to have dinner with dad's new girlfriend"

A: "Aha, it's a party late, can't you come"

E: "No unfortunately"

A: "Okay, but see you"

E: "Yes we do" I said and we kissed.  I went out towards my taxi, it was already outside and I jumped in.
