New Love | Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 43,

Monday, a couple of months later;

A couple of months later, and Matt and I haven't spoken once. I'm back at home with my fat dog and some of my retarded family. I have my cast off and almost getting my braces off, which I'm super stoked about. I have gained all my memory back and now don't have trouble with forgetting how to do things, which makes me happy. 

I opened up my school locker and placed my bags down onto the floor, picking up my football bag and shoving it into my locker. I sighed and slammed my locker closed, soon picking up my school bag. I flung it over my shoulders and turned around, bumping into someone. 

"I'm so sor- Jada?" I furrowed my eyebrows. "Surprise!" Jada smiled and threw her arms into the air. 

"Jada!" I flung my arms around her body and pulled her closer to me. "Looks like someone has missed me," Jada chuckled as I nodded.

"What are you doing back so early?" I slowly pulled away from the hug and grinned. "We finished earlier since we were just helpers," Jada said causing me to smile. 

"I have missed you so much," I softly said. "Me too," Jada patted my cheek and soon winked at me. 

Jada and I laughed, soon linking our arms and walking down the hallways of memories and horror. 

"So Matt and you," Jada broke the comfortable silence. "Don't get me started," I rolled my eyes.

"What went on with you two?" Jada furrowed her eyebrows. "I don't know. I kinda regret breaking up with him. I really need him, because without him I feel useless," I sighed. 

"Don't let a boy make you feel useless," Jada sighed as well. 

Just as I went to respond, the bell rang cutting me off. 

"I'll see you later," I mumbled. "We're in the same classes," Jada laughed. "Right," I chuckled.

Lunch came around, so Jada and I packed up from Maths and made our way down to the canteen. I opened up the huge doors and saw one big crowd surrounding some people, causing me to furrow my eyebrows. 

"What's going on?" I slowly looked back at Jada; as I found myself ahead of her. 

Jada shrugged and walked over to the crowd along side me, soon climbing on top of a table because I was too short. Once I saw who it was, I froze still. I couldn't move, as everyone else surrounding me were on some form of energy.

"One more Nash!" His voice filled my ears.

I jumped down from the table and sat down, thinking about how Matt can not be here so soon. Jada soon walked over to me and sat down next to me, awkwardly placing her hand upon mine. 

"Surprise?" She slowly raised an eyebrow. "Do you think this is a surprise that I want? No. Why would you say that?" I snapped.

"Wow, calm down. I thought you would be happy," Jada looked kinda taken back. "I'm sorry," I sighed. 

"No, it's fine," Jada mumbled. "I'm just not ready to face him," I looked up at Jada and admitted. 

"Yeah," Jada looked down like she was hiding something. "What are you hiding?" I furrowed my eyebrows. 

"Nothing. Hey your cast is off!" She tried to change the subject. "Don't change the subject," I whacked her.
