I was mad but I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Matthew. I was mad he attacked Josh. But, Josh was going to get it anyways, because he’s the one who said he was going to tell him. But it doesn’t matter anymore, because it was my fault. I kissed him, I moved into his house, and I caused all this trouble. I stood outside Principal Dean’s office waiting for them to come out.

“Young lady why are you?” asked the lady who worked at the desk.

She snapped me out of my trance, “ Oh yeah. I’m waiting for my friends to come out the office.”

She put on her glasses, “ Oh, the two young boys that were fighting. The brown hair one really looked hurt.”

I looked down in guilt because I know I’m the reason why they pounded each other. They fought over me, “I know.”

The old lady with salt and pepper curly hair eyed me with her smoky grey eyes, “Did you cause that fight?”

I glanced at her before I spoke, “You know… yes I started it. Well I didn’t mean to….”

She smiled kind of lightening the mood, it kind of relieved me, “Let me guess, the blonde boy is upset because he found out that you and the brown hair boy been sneaking around with each other.”

I looked up at her, “Something like that, how’d you know.?”

“I saw it on the security cam.” She said smirking

The door squeaked open and Matthew walked out first. I tried not to look at him but my eyes its own mind. I glanced at him and he caught my eye, holding it with e. He snapped out and sneered at me. He trudged out the room and slammed the door behind him. A few seconds later Josh walked out with a black eye and bruises on his face.

“You need to go to the nurse, young man, she’s waiting for you.” The secretary said

“I’ll take him.” I said grabbing my bag and standing up

She nodded and I opened the door, and Josh walked out. The walk halfway there was quiet.

“Sorry.” I said breaking the silence

“Why?”He said looking at me

“You got beat up.” Look at you! You look terrible.”

“But I still look hot.” He aid smirking. I rolled my eyes, even in pain his ego is still inflated, “ I was going to get it anyway remember. I was going to tell him, but you beat me to it.”

“But I’m still sorry, if it wasn’t for me you and Matthew would’ve been friends. I SHOULD’VE NEVER come.” I said sighing heavily

Josh stopped in his tracks, causing me to stop too, “Listen here. I’m glad you came. You made me feel like a better person. Even when at times, I was a jerk. You were my friend. You were the only one that showed me that not all girls are you know what I mean. I lov—

“What happened my little Joshy Washy?” Manny said approaching us interrupting, what I thought Josh was going to say.

I was to close to him, so I moved over, so she wouldn’t think anything, even though right now, by the way she’s looking at me, she wants to rip my hair out the roots. Glue it back, and then yank it out again. I looked at Josh and he was standing still, like he was being surrounded by a shark.

“Um, I got into a fight, remember.”

Oh yeah she was. She was betting on it. She betted against Josh. Such a jerk butt.

“What was it about?” she asked, faking that she was actually concerned about him.

“A few days back, Matthew and I got into an argument. And I told someone something that I should’ve have told. And he found out and he, um, did this.” Josh said lying through his teeth

“Oh. Well baby, sometimes, you have to be careful who you tell you information to.” Manny said eyeing me, “You should tell me instead.”

“Well. I’ll make a note to that.” He said

She tried kissing him but he stepped back, causing her to fall into his chest, she was about to embrace him in a hug, but he stepped back again, “What’s wrong?”

“Bruised lips?” Josh said more in a question than a statement.

Manny smiled, “Well, um, you owe me a kiss when you feel better.”

She flipped her long brown hair and walked out of our view, turning the corner. I was a bit surprise that Josh rejected her kiss and hug. His lips weren’t even bruised. I stood there, waiting for Josh to continue what he was about to say, but he stood there, making it even more awkward than it is.

“So um, we should head to the nurse before the bell ring.” He said

I nodded, “I guess so.”

I walked home alone and tired. Jamie didn’t think of even waiting for me. She decided she’d leave and stuff. I opened the door and walked up the stairs slowly. I swiftly rounded the corner, and into my room. I opened the door and turned on the lights.

“Ahhhh!” I screamed terrified

Snapp!!!

“I’ve been waiting for you.” Josh said in a creepy way

“Josh why!” I said, “ You scared the crap out of me.”

“I really was waiting for you.” He said laughing, “ Your face was priceless. Thank god, I got it on camara.”

I rolled my eyes, “ Where’s Jamie?”

“In her room.”

I walked out my room and knocked on the door. She opened it, and she looked quite angry. I wondered why.

“What do you want?”

“What happened?”

“Nothing.” Jamie said

“Really tell me.”

“Things, had really gone too far.” She said, “ My brother got beat up today.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I know you are.” She said, “ Just things are just changing.”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

“I really am sorry Jamie.”

“I love Josh.”

“You what?” Jamie asked

“I love Josh!” I said walking into her room, “ I love Josh! I love him. I love him.”

“I get it.” She said folding her arms, “ Wow.”

Things are really changing.
