The whole day I have been thinking about who Cameron liked. Was it Lindsay, or Emily? All I know is that she obviously goes here.
"What's the answer to the problem?" Mr. Higgins my math teacher asked me.
"Uh, 36?"
"Well that's completely wrong- wait what did you say?"
"I said 36."
"That's right but please don't look so distracted." The bell rang and I had 3 minutes to get to History. History is on the second floor, I'm on the first. I looked at my watch I had a minute to be there! I raced up the steps and bumped into Cameron.
"Excuse me I'm late talk later."
"Wait where are you late to?"
"History can't talk bye." I was running and made it to class and ms. Birch was staring at me with her beak like nose with her glasses down on her nose.
"So happy you could join us Jessica please take a seat next to Luke." She had pink lipstick on her front teeth. I took a seat next to Luke. I forgot my pencil in my locker. I was about to turn around to ask a person if they had a pencil.
"Hey uh Jessica you need a pencil?"
"Yea thanks."
"Anytime." His gorgeous white teeth showed through his smile. He had dimples. Ms.Birch passed out our homework.
"Now I want you all to read pages 350-360 on World war II. I want you to partner up. Okay girls look to the right boys look to the left." I looked to my right. I seen Luke.
"Looks like were partners."
"Looks like it. So I'll come over later what time?"
"Uh, my Dad doesn't get off work until 9 and I have Volleyball practice till 4. So hows 5?"
"5 is good I'll text you when I'm close to your house."
"Okay."
"See you around Jess." He flashed his smile again. His blond hair looked amazing especially matching his pretty blue eyes. I walked down the hallway on my way to lunch and thought to myself, maybe today hasn't been that bad. Until 2 boys raced past me knocking everything out of my hands. All my papers flew around on the floor when I looked up I seen the same white gorgeous smile.
"Sorry those dudes are racing to the lunch room its Taco Tuesday."
"Isn't Wednesday?"
"Yea but they don't know that. They're air heads."
"You can say that again." I was walking into the lunch room and seen Cameron all by him self eating.
"Hey Jess you wanna sit with my friends and I?"
"Uh you know I'm going to go sit by someone else I uh promised them."
"Okay well I'll see you later."
"Bye."
"See ya." I went and sat down across from Cameron.
"Hey I want a french fry!"
"Have em."
"Is something wrong with you?"
"Did you tell anyone about what I told you?"
"No why?"
"Well Justin came over to me."
"And......."
"He said I was a smoker and I drink and skip school."
"He told me that too but I didn't think it was true, I mean I still don't. Wait is it true?"
"The skipping school part. That's true, I didn't want the teachers to see me with a black eye or my arm in a sling or a cut on my lip. They would call my dad and I would get beat worse. I figured skipping school can help avoid the problem."
"Look I'm so sorry you have to go through that!! What about the weed and drinking?"
"My dad would make me hold on to his weed when he got pulled over, he thought if I had the weed they would go easier on me. I never smoked it."
"Okay what about the drinking?"
"Well that when I was around 15. I would sneak out and go to parties. I would drink to help me stop thinking about my dad. One time I took his car at like 1 in the morning I drove the car drunk and the police pulled me over. When he found out I was in the hospital for 2 days.
"Again so sorry. I just I can't believe he would do that? Wait what about your mom?"
"My mom is your typical mom she cooks cleans does what a mom does."
"Did your dad ever hit her?"
"Uh he's slipped out once or twice. He hasn't done it for at least 3 months. She said if he ever hits her again she's going to leave him and call the police and tell them everything."
"Oh okay well I have to get to class. Thanks for the fries!"
"Welcome." he chuckled. The rest of the day went by fast. Before I knew it. It was 3 and time to go.
I went to the girls locker room to change. I walked in on Justin and Lindsay kissing!
"Excuse me! Am I interrupting?"
"Uh yeah can you uh- Jessica!!!!! What are you doing here?!!"
"Hm I don't know maybe changing it is the locker room!"
"Look sorry."
"Sorry that's all you can say? By the way Justin. Were over and Lindsay don't talk to me and also delete my number!!!!"
I went in the changing room and cried. Then finally realized what a idiot I was being. I went into the gym and played volleyball. I hit 2 girls in the face. One was on accident. Other one was on purpose. Hey I can't help it. It was Lindsay. I swore up and down I didn't do it on purpose. I left straight in the middle of practice grabbed my bag and left. I got in my blue convertible.
I drove home and I didn't feel sad about the break up or loosing Lindsay. I guess that just goes to show you who's really there for you. I had thought I had forgotten about Cameron and who he liked. Why am I thinking about him. I don't even like him! Or do I?
My phone vibrated. It was a text from Luke. It said he was almost ere. I went and changed my clothes. I heard a knock.
"Hey Jess are you ready to study?"
"Yea." We walked into the living room.
"So I heard about you and Justin."
"Yea he was probably always dating her, I mean I was gone the whole summer."
"Yea but that doesn't excuse why he would cheat on you."
"Yea I don't know. So you see where Western Europe is?"
"No." I reached over to his page. The smell of his Axe body spray was intriguing.
"Your perfume smells good Jess." I was looking at him which felt like forever. It felt like he was looking into my soul. He started leaning in and so did I. We started kissing which led to making out. I as kissing him. All I thought about was don't let my dad walk in. If he seen me on the couch making out with some dude he doesn't even know he'll kill me! My phone started ringing.
"Hello." I said agitated.
"Well Jess I'm on my way home you want something to eat?"
"Uh no I ate I gotta go, I'm studying."
"Okay love you bye I'm 5 minutes away."
"Bye." I said "You need to go! NOW!"
"Why? I thought you liked me?"
"I do it's just my dad is on his way home and he is probably like 3 minutes away now so you need to go!"
"If you say so..... Bye"
"Bye I'll text you."
"Bye." My dad pulled in. "Just in time." I said Heart break doesn't feel so bad.
