I was heading my way to my first period when i saw mathew and natalie running towards me. My two infamous and gorgeous bestfriends. Me? nah. Im not really that famous but im not totally unknown either. Just average?
“anderson! How are you?” mathew asked and hugged me and so did natalie.
He was about to speak again when natalie gasped behind her. Her eyes full of worry and concern.
Uh-oh. She must have noticed my still slightly puffy red eyes.
“nicole? Whats wrong?” she asked me in an all concerned voice.
matt looked at natalie then to me then to natalie again. He was face looked so confused that i wanted to laugh at his face, only, im not in the mood to go all laughy-dovey.
“francis and i broke up” i decided to tell them straight to the point since i really need someone to talk to.
The two of them looked shocked and immediately went to both of my sides to comfort me.
Oh here it goes again. All the comforting and stuffs just want to make me cry again! and I absolutely do not want to start my day crying. Dont be such a baby nicole!
“look guys, can we just talk about this during lunch? Were running late anyways” they nodded and followed me to our classroom.
The classes went by for what feels like forever. I cant even pay attention to what all the teachers are saying.
Krrrrriiing!
“yes!” all the other students turned their heads to look at me, including Mrs. Johnson.
My mouth hang open as i realized what happened. Did i just say that out loud? Urgh. Whatever!
They shook their heads thinking as if im crazy which i am positively not and started to pile up at the door wanting to get outside the room.
I reached our usual table and found mathew and natalie already siiting there.
“hi guys” i said lamely and they turned their heads to look at me.
“i know, i know. I owe you explanations” i sighed before i continued. “well, you both know it was supposed to be our first anniversary yesterday right?” they both nodded and the expressions on thier faces clearly telling me to just go on. “i invited him to have dinner at our house so we could celebrate. He refused me and of course i got devastated” i felt tears starting to come and i hate myself for being soooo damn emootional! “i asked him what his problem was and he said i am his problem. He then told me that he wont do this anymore because he thinks our relationship wont really work. He even told me that someday, i will find someone who will love me truly. What does that even mean?”
I cant help it anymore so i cried and natalie’s arm went around me. i hugged her back and started to cry on her shoulders.
“thats it? Not even a single explanation as to why hes leaving you? And that i-dont-think-this-wont-work-anymore line does not even count! You do not deserve that guy nicole! He is such a dumbass!”
Mathew said in a voice louder than i would have wanted it. Some people might have looked at him because he said “what? Mind your own business you freaks!”
I broke away from natalie’s hug and i suddenly want to be alone to think things through. I need some fresh air.
“i need to go somewhere. And thanks. I’ll talk to you guys later.” I stood up and wiped my tears.
Mathew held my hand in an attempt to stop me. “nic, i dont think you should-“
“matt, let her go. She needs some time alone.” Thanks nat! “go on nic, see you later”
I sat under a huge tree near the field. My thoughts wandered to how francis and i first met. I am not really that pretty i guess because i had never had boyfriends before and no one really asked me to go out with them or something. Being a girl, of course there were times that i envied Natalie because almost all of the hot boys in school wanted to go out with her. I started to accept the fact that maybe, my prince charming got stuck somewhere and isnt coming around soon. Until francis came and he asked me out. I got all girly and excited and i guess, didnt really think. I just was so inlove with the fact that finally, someone asked me out. But now, the joke is on me. i hate myself for being so gullible? Urgh. Truth really does hurt.
I sighed heavily when a ball hit my head. “ow” I raise my hand to touch the lump on the back of my head now and turned around to see kyle grinning at me. he looked like he was training since he was ike wearing a football uniform i guess?
“you purposefully did that didnt you? You moron” i glared at him and looked away.
“wow. Sorry but youre not that important” he smirked and bent down to get the ball.
I am not in the mood to deal with this guy. I shook my head as i tried to get up and walk away from him.
“hey, wait up nic!” he touched my arm and it tingled but i was too pissed to notice.
“what now kyle?” irritation was clear in my voice and i was a bit shocked to see him so serious.
“are you okay? your eyes, its all red. Have you been crying?” he took a step closer and for the first time, i saw kyle flash an emotion of genuine concern in his eyes. I felt all the irritation go away and i smiled at him weakly.
“im fine.” I said as i took a step backward and he took his grip from my arm. I turned around and walked away before he could say anything.
i'll pick the casts soon :)
