I just arrived in school, rather happy, & went to the cafeteria to see Luke. I was so excited to see him until I actually saw him. A girl with her hands around him. She was kissing him. I tried to hold back my tears, but I doubt it was working. I stared at them. Luke was standing still, really still, his back toward the wall, as if pushed there by force. He was looking around, but when his eyes caught mine, he pushed the girl away & ran to me.
"Nellie......." he said trying to catch my arm.
"DON"T TOUCH ME!"
"Nel, I'm sorry. It's not what it seems! It's not my fault!" he screams. But I'm already out of the cafeteria on my way home. I'm not staying at school today, not with Luke in it! I can't believe he did that to me!
But he was right behind me. I turned around & pushed him. "I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU CHEATER!"
& I pretty much broke down.
I turned & sprinted faster than I could in my entire life back home. I slammed the door & cried even more in my room
***
A week has passed, he tried talking to me but I ignored him. He tried visiting me, but my brother told him to just leave me alone. I didn't go to school either, not even outta the house. But I gotta go to hell tomorrow, no excuses.
I walked down the same hall 7 times. I swear to god, everyone is staring at me. It's super awkward. Also, there isn't one person who isn't talking about what happened. I didn't mind it that much, until that bitch popped out of nowhere.
Before I could stop myself, I was walking toward her. EVERYONE surrounded us.
"You bitch!" I screamed, slapping her. After crumbling to the ground, she got up & pulled my hair.
"He's mine," she hissed.
Now she's getting on my nerves. As soon as my hand landed on her face again, Luke came & pulled me away.
"STOP!" he said.
"LET GO OF ME!" I screamed, trying to get out of his strong grip. WHY IS HE SO STRONG?
"Nellie, calm down," he said, rather calmly.
"NO, LET ME GO! GO AHEAD & DEFEND YOUR LITTLE GIRLFRIE-"
"NELLIE! Don't you dare think that!" he said. "I love you & your the only person I'll ever love,"
I wanted to tell him to get lost, but I couldn't, my eyes were just too full of tears. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
"Luke, I want you to be happy," I said shakily, finally getting words out of my mouth. "I'm not as good for you as she is," I told him pointing at bitch face. "I'm just weak."
Then I ran to the girl's bathrooms, breaking down. I really felt weak.
