Not Enough Time

Chapter 3

Amy:

Gosh what a bitch, did courtney really have to come up and talk to toby? Of course she does, cause she likes to make my life miserable. I don't understand why though, we used to be bestfriends in 7th grade, and then she started telling stories about me. Our friendship just ended in the blink of an eye. I don't really care if Courtney and Toby become friends, it wouldn't affect my life any. I wish I didn't just get up an leave, i feel bad leaving Toby sitting there all alone...he will probably make friends, he is good looking so I bet he has girls all over him right now. Whatever I don't care, I was just the first person he talked to, once he makes friends he will forget all about me. I get to my locker, not knowing what to do since I left lunch early, I decided to sit down on the ground and read a book, and just wait for the bell to ring. I open my book and start reading when I hear footsteps in the hallway, I look up to see who it is and it's Toby. He notices me and then quickly walks over to me and sits down.

"Why did you leave?"

"I think you know why I left..."

"Courtney? What has she done to you? Well besides that she didn't invite you to her party."

"Trust me it's a really long story, and it's just girl drama." Toby looked at me , he actually look like he wanted to know. I don't know why he does, but I don't want to ruin his first day with this.

"I want to know Amy, cause maybe I need a good reason not to go to her pool party." he said while he wink at me. Ugh, should I tell him? I have never told my side of the story, the true story, to anyone because I was the loser and everyone just believes everything they hear.

"Okay, I will tell you," then the bell rang, "maybe later, I have to get to class." We both get up as people are starting to fill up the hallway.

"What class are you going to now?"

"Gym."

"Oh, me too, could you tell me on the way there and in gym?"

"Not long enough, it would just be easier not to tell you, for both of us." We started walking to gym together, again he was really close to me.

"Well I really want to know, want to hang out after school?" I froze, is he really asking me to hang out? I don't know what to say, I haven't hung out with anyone since I was 13.

"Umm, sure."

"Okay, I will met you by your locker."

"Uhh, okay," I say as I enter the locker room to set down my book bag and get my locker for gym.

At the end of the day I walked to my locker and I opened it slowly putting my stuff away, I didn't want to be done before Toby gets here. My stomach started feeling nauseous, ugh I hate being nervous. Finally done putting everything away, I grab my phone texting my dad that I am not going to be home right away. He probably wont respond but I will just assume that he got my text. Just as my text finished sending, I saw Toby, he was standing in front of me smiling. Gosh that smile, it made my knees weak and I almost fell over. Toby grabbed my arm to hold me up. I look up at him and he is giving me the "are you okay?" look, and I just nod. We start walking towards the door when Courtney stands right in front of Toby. Gosh this bitch is everywhere.

"Hey Toby, want to hang out with my friends and me?" Of course she wants to hang out with him, she always has to have the best of the best, and Toby was probably the best looking sophomore in the school now. She is so annoying, and desperate.

"Uhh, I can't, I am already hanging out with Amy." Courtney looked at me and gave me the look of death. I felt pleasure knowing that I actually have something that she wants and she can't have it, even though Toby isn't mine.
