All My Heart

Chapter Two

Quinn had been acting so differently lately! I thought. Maybe my thoughts were wrong. Maybe he didn’t have any feelings for me whatsoever. I wanted to stop the thoughts from coming but I couldn’t. I was in too deep.
The rest of the plane ride was utterly silent except for the few snores coming from some of the other passengers. When it was landing time, we quietly exited the plane and entered the airport.
“So.” I had broken the silence with this comment. “What now?”
Quinn sighed exasperatedly and for a second I thought that I had said something wrong.
“I don’t know,” Quinn answered as if he were in a state of depression. “There’s a map in my bag.”
I rolled my eyes without Quinn noticing but Bonnie was the real one to worry about. She raised her eyebrows expectantly but I didn’t say anything. Maybe she was happy. Maybe she was content that he and I were growing farther apart so that it would leave more room for her in this difficult friendship. I considered doing something affectionate in reply to his gloomy attitude but after a moment of consideration, I decided that that would just irritate him more.
Bonnie finally butted in and blurted, “What happened to you guys? I thought you two were in love.”
Quinn’s head bowed even lower. He was troubled by the way I had leaned on him and was thinking about it way too much.
I got the map and searched for a bus route to the school. There was one at three thirty but that was hours from now. I decided that it was best just to walk or get a taxi because I didn’t want to wait with Bonnie and Quinn in the state that they were in.
“Hey, guys,” I said, not realizing that the two were deep in a conversation. “Do we want to walk or take a taxi because I am not staying here until three-thirty?”
“Why are you so anxious to do that?” Bonnie replied rudely. “Do you not want to hang out with your friends for four hours?” Bonnie, suddenly realizing how stupid she sounded, blushed in embarrassment. She most likely would have said the same thing if it was she who had been the one directing our route.
“No, I just want to get there already instead of sitting here, waiting for something to happen!”
I knew that I had just started an argument that I didn’t want but I needed to express how awful I felt.
“I DON’T CARE IF WE WAIT UNTIL THREE THIRTY BUT I DO CARE IF WE ARE GOING TO ARGUE THE WHOLE TIME!” I screamed at her. I didn’t want to but I couldn’t take it anymore! I stormed out of the room as fast as I could and out onto the sidewalk. I didn’t know where I was going or what I was going to do, but I just wanted to get away from those jerks.
