Bittersweet Symphony -Campbell Saunders-

You are pathetic

     After lunch I headed to the gardening club with Jake. Yes Jake Martin, the senior and Clare's step brother. As soon as I got there Jake and I started potting plants and placing them in there place. That sounded like a tounge twister, or is that just me? "Brooklyn, I need to tell you something." Jake said nervously. "What is it?" I asked. "I saw Dallas to-" I interrupted. "No not another Dallas story. C'mon Jake when are you gonna stop making up these tales? Just because they called you a tree hugger doesn't mean you should hold a grudge." You see at Clare's party the hockey team got into it with Eli, Jake, Katie Matlin, and Clare. Then Owen called Jake a tree hugger, and punches were thrown. "B. I'm not still on the tree hugger thing. I saw Dallas with Ali Bendahri..." I was confused. "So? There science partners." I said. "No not like that. I saw Dallas come out of the Janitors closet with lip stick on his collar, and Ali followed 30 seconds later." 

    I gave him a disbeliving look. "Look at me all you want. If you go check his collar it's there. You could even ask Owen, you know he'll spill." Jake said. "Fine." I replied dropping my tools and walking off into the Seniors hall. I knew there schedule, mainly because Eli. I walked into there hall and found Dallas. I tapped on his shoulder. "Babe!" He said. "Don't 'babe' me you two timing asshole." Dallas looked taken back by my outburst of hate. "What?" He asked. "You know what you cheated on me with Bendahri! You even have her lipstick on your collar! Exactly like Jake said!" I said pushing him back a bit. He looked embarressed. I saw Eli out of the corner of my eye. He looked like he wanted to hit Mike Dallas again. "I didn't mean to." Was all his excuse. "It still made you single." I said walking off. Behind me I heard the 'oohhs' and 'damns'. 

   I got back to the garden and saw Jake. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you." I said hugging him. "It's fine. Now since you're obviously not going to sit with the hockey team anymore. Would you like to sit with Eli Clare and I?" I smiled. "Yes." I said giving him a hug. "Oh yeah Cam is looking for you." Jake said. "Why?" I asked confused. "I'm not sure." I nodded and went on to my next class. Which I had with Cam. The bell had rung right before Jake had told me that Cam was looking for me. 

   I walked into Mr. Armstrong's math class and sat right next to Cam. "I heard you were looking for me?" I said. "Yeah, I uh I heard what happen with you and Dallas. I'm sorry." Cam said looking a bit like it was his fault. "Thanks but, why are you sorry?" I asked. "Because I knew he was cheating and didn't say anything.." Cam said looking to the left. You know I should be mad that he knew and didn't tell me but, for some reason I'm not. "I'm not mad." I said. "Go ahead hit me- Wait what? You're not mad?" He said with hope. I shook my head no. "I am so relieved. But, I have a question for you." Cam asked. "Which is?" I said cocking one eyebrow. He chuckled. "Can you tutor me for the French quiz next week?" I smiled. "Yeah sure. My house after school?" "Yeah sure, and just saying I'm gonna need help with math too."

   I chuckled and looked forward. He's adorable. Wait really Brooklyn? You just caught your boyfriend cheating on you well, you found out he was cheating and you're already looking at new boys? Now your talking to yourself. This is like that time Eli caught me talking to that shrub in the yard. It's not my fault, I tripped and while I was down I needed some time to talk. Yes to a shrub. Problem? Yeah many people usually think I'm crazy, but really who isn't? 

   The entire time I was looking at the clock, not paying attention because I already knew exactly what to do. It was easy. I was just thinking about what was gonna happen tonight when Cam comes over. Is Eli going to question him? I know my parents aren't gonna be home, so that makes it easier. Oh well, surprise in a bag I guess. What? I want my thoughts to be original too. Everyone says box. Oh well. Let's just hope I could get this right.
