Broken Hearted

Chapter 10

Stacey-

I softly cried to myself as I walked up the driveway to school. Jesse was leaning at the gate, arms crossed and staring at me but once he noticed my red, watery eyes his expressions turned into a sympathic gaze, “Stacey, what’s wrong” he asked

“Cameron Chase is what’s wrong, you were right about him.” I sniffled

“That son-of-a—what did he do to you?!” He demanded

“N-Nothing, Jesse. I just really want to get to class.” I lied, I wanted to be with Cameron I wanted to forgive him. I overreacted. I was stupid. I shouldn’t have said ‘cute’. Never the less I walked to class, Honours English.

I found this class quite easy so the time past quickly. On time the bell rang and the halls quickly filled with familiar faces, including a face that I didn’t want to see today… Raquel. She strode up to me and looked me dead in the eye,

“I heard you were with my boyfriend last night” she accused

“Well technically Cameron is not your boyfriend anymore”

“Yeah, Sure we’ll see about that, Stacey…”

“What are you implying, Raquel?” I only now noticed that we were surrounded by a number of students including George, Jesse and Jake (Raquel’s make out partner).

“I am implying that he will never like you, he loves me! And only me!” she hollered

“Oh that’s right! He loves you, that’s why he was in MY bedroom last night at 3am in the morning!” I yelled, and everyone gasped. Raquel swung her arm around and smacked my cheek with a deafening TWACK! I stumbled backward, then leaped out and punched her in the nose, the bone crunching under my fist. She fell to the ground, blood rushing out of her nose. I felt quite pleased with myself until I caught Cameron’s eye, he looked at me… horrified. Tears sprang to my eyes and I ran out of the circle pushing the people out of my way with my bloodied hands. I ran into the bathroom and locked the cubicle door, sobbing uncontrollably. Shit! I thought Shit, Shit, Shit!
