It was a week after my first kiss and surprisingly everything was cool despite the fact that Carl acted awkwardly after the kiss that evening. As time went on we became closer. I don't know if I'm crazy but I think Jayden was jealous. But why will he be jealous? he doesn't even like me. Or maybe it's just me. I'm not one who likes PDA. Carl started to caress and kiss me in public. We are going on our second date this Saturday and I am looking forward to it. Right now I was at a table with Claire in the cafeteria listening to her ramble about her crush, Michael. "Hey Elena" shouts Carl whilst he kisses my cheek. "Hey Carl" I respond. "I missed you." he continued. I smiled. "I missed you too." I said. "Are you on for Saturday?" he asked. "Yh, sure." I answered. "Cool. I'll see later." he said kissing my cheek again and after walked away. "You two are getting better and better everyday ha. I will not be surprised if you two get married in the future." Claire said making me blush hard at the thought of me and Carl getting married and having children in the future. I excused myself to go to the washroom. Unfortunately, the boys' washroom is not too far from the girls' so I had to pass there before getting to the girls'. As I passed, I heard a group of boys talking but what caught my attention to what they were saying is when I heard my name. I moved closer to the door to listen since there was no one around. "Did you get Elena to go out with you?" came a voice. "Yes." came another voice. That voice seems familiar. Oh my God! it's Carl's voice. I paid more attention. "
"That girl was so easy to get to" Carl said again. "She is falling for me. She is so naive." he continued. My heart stopped and it started to ache. It was like all the air was sucked out of me. " I guess I'm going to win the bet guys. Be prepared to lose." he concluded laughing at his friends. Bet? He used me for a stupid bet. He never felt anything for me. He used me for a fucking bet and there I thought that are relationship was flourishing. I was thinking of us in the future. Damn him! I felt like my heart was being torn into million pieces.
I felt tears rolling down my cheeks. I immediately entered the girl's washroom and cried my heart out. I definitely spent all lunch time there because after some minutes, I heard the bell ring signalling that lunch time was over. I straightened up myself, walked out of the washroom and went to my next class of the day before school was over which was Mathematics. Arrgh I really hate mathematics. Mathematics was always boring as usual. We were being taught algebra which was what I hated most. Right now we were having a test on algebra and I'm sweating because I don't know some of them. I just did the ones I didn't know the way I understood it. I just hope I do well in this test else my mum will have my head on a plate. I was still disturbed about what Carl did to me so I couldn't concentrate well in class. When the bell rung, we all rushed out of the class avoiding any assignments. I went to look for Claire. I saw her coming out of her class talking to the school's nerd called Joey. She jogged over to me after talking to the boy. The question she threw over to me the second she got to me got me shaking. "I was waiting for you the whole time. Why did you keep so long in the washroom?" "I-I-I was doing my makeup w-well." I stammered. My eyes stung. I wanted to cry. "Don't lie to me Elena." Claire said clearly not believing me. Elena don't cry here. You are too strong to let go. It seems my heart couldn't contain all the pain. I just broke out and started crying. Claire held me and walked us out onto the parking lot. We sat in the car and I started telling her everything I heard from those boys and Carl whilst crying.
"What?!he used for a stupid bet and there I thought he was a gentleman. He is an asshole!." Claire shouted angrily. "Wipe your tears Elena, he doesn't deserve your tears. He is not worth it." Claire said. Those words sunk deeply. It was true. Carl didn't deserve my tears and I would face him when the right time arrives. "Thank you Claire, for everything." I told Claire. "Don't worry sweetie. Anything for you." she said making me smile. Soon, we were listening to music and singing with our horrible voices and shouting on top of our lungs. I still wasn't over what Carl did to me and I think it will take a while before I will be over it. After Claire dropped me off, I rushed up to my room not bothering to look for my mum. I started to cry again even though Claire encouraged me that Carl wasn't worth it but I had to let it all out else the pain wouldn't go. I laid in my bed with the intention of sleeping to relieve the pain a little.
Ding! Ding! then I got a text message. I looked at who it was from and it was from Carl. Immediately anger and pain shot through me once again. I turned my phone off not even bothering to look at the text message he sent and I went back to sleep.Thank you all for the votes.
