My Best Friend || Joel Pimentel

Chapter 18

Today is the day I get to spend time with Joel. To be honest I'm really excited. I already have my uniform on and today I decided to curl my hair. After I did I grabbed to curls and clip it together with my red bow. I went down stairs all happy.

"Well someone is in a happy mood." Angelina said.

"Yes because there's no quizzes or tests today." I lied. I have loads of quizzes today.

Once we finished eating we head to the car. "Okay Zandra tell me what's really up?" Angelina asked.

"Okay yesterday night Joel called me and we had a great conversation and he apologize about everything. And his birthday is today and told him to come over."

"Is my mom okay with Joel coming over?"

"Yea I texted her. She's okay with it, she isn't going to be home all day either."

"So you guys aren't mad at each other anymore?" She asked.

"Nope." I said popping my 'p'

"And this happened over night?"

"Yep!" Again popping my 'p'

"I'm going to have 9-1 ready just in case something happens."

"Okay but nothing will happen though, trust me. Anyways bye!" I said. I grabbed my backpack and my binder. I head to our usual spot.

"Hey Zandra. You seem in a happy mood." Heather said.

"It's because I am."

"Why spit it girl!"

"No I'm just happy. Hey could you guys take care of my stuff? I need to use the restroom." I left my stuff there and head the the bathroom. On my way I heard two people talking. I usually ignore them but I know those voices. I stopped before I turned the corner to use the restroom.

"I don't even know you're going out with that rat." I heard. Which sounded like Morgan.

"She's rich and smart. I only use her for homework, I haven't asked for money though, I'm going to lie to her that I need money to pay off my college fees. Then with that money that she gives me, I'm going to spend it to you cupcake." Zack.

I peek over and saw them kiss. I quickly ran away. I went where I left my stuff.

"Whoa whoa whoa! What's wrong?" Matthew said grabbing me from my upper arms, which still hurt from that day but nothing compared how I'm feeling with Zack.

"Let go of me!" I said trying to get off his grip.

"Not until you tell me what's wrong."

"Zack is just using me and cheating on me with Morgan! Now let me go!" I said.

"Nope I'm giving you a ride home." He grabbed his things and mine and we head to the car. "I'm sorry Zandra, I never knew he was like that."

"Yea me either, why does everything has to happen to me? First there's Joel and Anna and now Zack with Morgan. It's like they just want to see me hurt. I honestly can't trust anyone anymore." I said then put my face in my palms.

"Don't cry Zandra. I don't like seeing you like this." He said as he rubbed my back. "Stop crying, you're going to ruin your beautiful face." He wiped my tears.

"Don't you start with your little lies." I said looking at him.

"I'm not lying, so how can I stop?" He said now looking at the road, "Mind if we go to Starbucks to get a coffee or something?"

"But I didn't bring any money today." I said.

"Don't worry I was planning to buy your order anyways." He winked. I playfully rolled my eyes.
