I am Widow

Chapter 41

February 22:
It has almost three weeks since Paul and I became official. He is so different from any guy I met. He isn't annoying or too lovey dovey. He likes to draw, play sports and loves music. He is awesome in math and history. He likes kids and pets too.

We are walking, hand and hand, to my Spanish class. I have no more detention so I am back to my regular schedule.

"Okay, see you after school?" I ask.

"I don't know, we have a meeting for basketball. But I call you later, okay?" Paul asks.

I just nod and kiss his cheek.

"Hola, como estas?" Mrs. Lopez asks in a foreign language.

"Okay?" I answer.

"Good, take a sit so we can get started."

I didn't want for Spanish to end at all. I don't want to see James again. I got lucky since he didn't come yesterday. I don't know if Briana asked James about what I saw.

The bell rings and I slowly walk to Mrs. Laurence's class. I see Lulu talking to James. James is laughing and smiling at her. I want to pass by them without being notice but I am unsuccessful.

"Hi Widow!" Lulu exclaims. I take a deep breathe and turn around.

"Did Mrs. Lopez ask for me?" Lulu asks. I say no and try to go in but James stops me.

"You two know each other?" he asks.

"Yes, we have Spanish together. She is pretty cool like you told me." Lulu says.

She fixes her brown hair and smiles at James. She is trying to appeal cute to him.

"Wow, cool, well you better get to class Lulu. I don't want you to get in trouble," James says.

"Heh, heh, okay. Bye cutie." Lulu smiles.

James just chuckles, "isn't she just a little doll?"

"I guess," I walk in the class and sit.

"You okay Widow?" James asks me as he sits down.

Try to keep you cool Widow. You don't want to make a scene or a fool out of yourself.

I just nod and start doing my work. I ignore James's voice all class period. How can he pretend to like me? He is such a liar!

The bell rings and we get dismissed from class. James is running on the back of me, "Widow!" he finally catches up and grabs me. He pulls me to the side, "Why are you ignoring me? Are you mad at me?"

I get my arm back, "You are such a jerk."

"What? I am not like Jackson."

"Oh yes you are! I saw you having sex with Ruby in Briana's party! You are such a liar!" I push him away and slap him.

He covers the red mark of my hand on his cheek. He looks at me with very deep eyes. He cant deny it so he doesn't say anything. I take that as a cue for me to walk away.

I run out of there as fast as I can. Thankfully Joe is right there in front. I get in and tell him to drive.

"What happen? Is it Jackson?" Joe asks as he drives.

"No, I just didn't want to see James. I don't care if you don't believe me, but I saw what I saw,"

"I do sorta believe you. When we found James, he had lipstick smeared on his neck and his hair was messed up. But he convince Briana that Ruby was trying to kiss him." Joe says.

I turn to him, "What did Briana say after that?"

"She said okay and we went back to the party. But Ruby was kicked out of the party."
