Chapter 7

The class was a blur as I tried hard to control the tears threatening to spill down my cheeks. Alana and Harry were getting on like a house on fire while I was just sitting there, waiting for the class to end. It seemed like hours before the bell rang. And I just knew Kelly would be outside waiting for me.

5 minutes later, or what felt like 5 hours later, the bell rang, I escaped out the door and sure enough, Kelly was there. She saw my face and her face fell.

Before I could stop it, a betraying tear fell down my cheek.

“Water closet. Now.” She said, and I guess she wanted me to follow her before a whole crowd would come out of the other classrooms, seeing me bawling like a baby.

Once we entered the bathroom, I bawled. I seriously bawled like a baby.

“What happened?? Tell me everything that happened, word for word.” She said.

“I asked him touhprumenhesaidnuuuh, andatalanaaskedhimfffffirst.” I said, struggling to get the words out while sobbing.

(A/N: In case some of you have no idea what Jess was saying, she said “I asked him to the prom and he said no, and that Alana asked him first”.)

But somehow Kelly had understood me perfectly and she held me in her arms for a few moments while my sobs slowly stopped.

Someone entered the bathroom and we both jumped. I shrugged out of Kelly’s arms and went to grab paper towels to fix up my smeared mascara.

Oh great. Now I look like a panda.

“Oh sorry… I – was I interrupting something?” the person said, and I turned.

Alana.

“No, I was just um – just applying my makeup.” I said, and went back to fixing my makeup, trying to control my animalistic outburst I wanted to perform on her.

“Hey, you’re the girl from my psychology class, right? Are you – are you okay?” she asked.

No, you bitch, nothing is okay. Because you asked Harry to prom when I wanted to go with him. So are you happy? You got him.

“Oh yeah, everything’s fine.” I said, chuckling a little bit.

Once I was done with my makeup, Kelly and I left, arm in arm.

“Bitch. If she were any taller she’d hit her head through the roof.” She said, and I laughed.

“Hey, I’m going to sign up for the talent singing show for the prom, wanna come with?” I asked Kelly, since it was recess time, and she agreed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We went into the office and asked for the teacher who was in charge of signing up for the talent show.

I was surprised when Mr Gibbs walked out with the sign up sheet.

“Mr Gibbs? Really? You’re in charge of the prom talent show?” Kelly said, and I hit her on the arm. Did this girl have any tact at all?

Mr Gibbs chuckled. “Mind you, Miss Zorn, I am actually an incredible singer, in case you didn’t know.” He replied, and we both burst out laughing.

“Well if you’re so great at singing, why not sign up for the talent show yourself?” Kelly asked, and I hit her on the arm again. What was she doing?
