I wake up in the morning around 7:00 after hearing the phone ring. I ignore the call not bothering to check if the person left a message. I don't even bother checking my phone. I decide to try and sort my thoughts out and how I am going to tell Jake or even if I am going to tell him. My heart feels like it is racing. Is this what love feels like? If so, I don't know where I have been.
I eat a bowl of cereal then go back up to my room and log onto Facebook. I see this notification of two messages. They are from a friend sending me the work I missed. How nice of that friend to actually care and notice that I was gone unlike Jake. He is probably so busy with his new girlfriend he doesn't even have time for our friendship anymore. It looks like he is breaking his promise already. I log off and get to work on the assignments I missed. I take a nap afterwards then get ready to go for a three mile bike ride. I need to clear my head. I feel and look like crap right now.
I stop at a park and park my bike next to a bench. I sit down as I bury my hands in my face as I cry some more. I stop crying shortly as I see this cute guy come up to me. He looks about the same age as me. He looks into my eyes and asks me what is wrong. I pour out all of my emotions to him. When I am finished, I realize that I have just told a random guy I just met about my problems. I wonder what he will think of me now after all of this. I sigh to myself after telling him about my problems and wipe my eyes. I look up into his eyes and he introduces himself. His name is Travis. He has dirty blonde hair and sparkling green eyes. I tell him my name and apologize for him having to see me cry like this. He shakes it off and tells me not to worry about it. He says he couldn't stand seeing a pretty girl like me cry by herself. I take it as a compliment and blush. He says to me, "Look, I got you to smile." I say thank you and that it was nice meeting him. I start to get up and walk away towards my bike. I hear my name being called out and I turn around to see Travis running towards me. Before you go, can I have your number? I want you to know that you can talk to me anytime you are feeling down. I am here for you as a friend." Such a gentleman, I take out my phone and we exchange numbers. I smile and blush a little as I wave goodbye.
I leave the park feeling better and a little more happy. I head back home and head up to my room where I collapse on my bed. I hear a chime on my phone and just my luck it is Travis. At least has the sympathy to text me unlike Jake who I still haven't talked to in two days. I hear my mom come home and decide to tell her about my day and my feeling for Jake. Here goes nothing...

I thought it was nice how Travis sat next to Nicole and comforted her. Definitely a worthy guy, don't you think?
