What have I missed?

Chapter 22: Passing notes in class

Last night at Louis' was great. I discovered loads about him that I never knew before, like how he wants to be an actor, and he's really good at singing! We stayed up all night talking and then I ended up falling asleep on his sofa. I woke up to the delightful smell of pancakes. Louis' cooked them for us, drenched them in syrup and sugar, then we ate them savouring every tasty bite. Then I went home and prepared for the screaming my mum would do when she found out I slept round Louis' and didn't even tell her. But I was suprised when I got home, because all she said was 'Hey sweetheart, me and Mark are going shopping for wedding outfits, want to come get your bridesmaids dress?' All I could reply to that was a confused expression, then she repeated it, and I made the final decision that I would be their bridesmaid, but I didn't want to come shopping so they could pick what they liked for me to wear. 

That's when it hit me. Today was Tuesday! I had school and right now I was 5 minutes late. I dashed upstairs, threw on some skinny jeans and a hoody, stuck my hair in a bun and grabbed my school bag. I ran to school, slowly walking at some parts to catch my breath, before I started running again, and when I got to school I was 20 minutes late. I walked into first period straightening my clothes and sorting out my bun. My teacher gave me a lecture about punctuality, the whole time I was ignoring him and noticing how Eva was staring at me worriedly, but it didn't seem to be about me being told off, it looked like there was something she needed to tell me. I took my seat next to the radiator and scribbled 'what's wrong?' on a note and got the guy next to me to pass it to eva. The only problem is, he didn't know who Eva was and ended up passing the note to some girl whose name I don't even know. She opened the note and then turned and looked at me with confusion in her yes. I mouthed the name 'Eva' to her and she got what I meant and passed it to Eva. After reading the note she scribbled something on the back and passed it to me. 

It said ' Meet me in the girl's toilets at lunch'. So there was something wrong. A million suggestions buzzed through my brain about what it could be, but none seemed likely. Then when the bell went signalling that lunchtime had begun, I sprinted off straight to the girl's toilets. When I walked in, Eva was there. 

"Hey what's wrong?" I asked wanting the thoughts in my head to be silenced.

"Erm well, i overheard something yesterday, and I thought you should know. So Louis was walking into school, when some blonde walks up to him and stops him in his tracks. It looked strange so I listened in on part of their conversation and it went something like this;

Louis: Why would you do that? 

Blonde: Because I love you

Louis: What can I do to make you not do it?

Blonde:You can meet me at the icecream parlour at 8pm on wednesday night and i'll tell you what i want. 

Louis: Fine. 

Then Louis stormed off and the blonde girl stood their grinning evily."

I can guess who that blonde girl was. Jasmine. I thought she was making empty threats, but she's planning something, and I want to know what. I want to know why she is meeting my boyfriend at the icecream parlour, and the only way I can find out, is if i'm there too. 

~The next day~

It was 7.30pm. Half an hour till my boyfriend and his ex are meeting up. I began walking to the meeting place, wearing clothes that made it hard to recognise me in. When I got there, I realised the time was 8.05pm, and so they were already inside together. I opened the door to walk in. Looking around at all the many tables. Then I spotted them. And just as I prepared to hide, Jasmine leaned over the table and kissed Louis! I couldn't handle this any longer, my heart was beating fast, my head becoming excrutiatingly painful. I stormed out of the parlour slamming the door quite violently, Louis must've noticed me because seconds later he was running out of the building calling my name. I ignored him, sprinted down the road and hid in a dark alley. I heard the footsteps of Louis running past obviously not knowing where I was. When the footsteps died down I exited the alley and sprinted all the way home, tears flooding down my face. When I arrived home I stomped up to my bedroom, slammed the door shut virbrating the furniture, then put in my headphones and put my ipod on shuffle. 

I can't belive it... Louis and Jasmine...kissing. I feel sick. I feel angry. I feel useless. I decided to send a text to Louis.

Ashleigh: We're over.
