Not your perfect teen story

Not your perfect girlfriend

You know that feeling you get when everything seems too good to be true and you know something bad is definitely coming your way? Yeah...I felt that today.

It was mine and Jacob's 1 month anniversary and we had both been nominated for prom king and queen. Everything was perfect. Maybe a little too perfect.

I know! I know! I shouldn't be so negative. Last time I was negative about something, it all worked out.

"So Ash, wanna go to the mall today? We still haven't bought our dresses and prom is a month away!" Tyra whispered. It was Mrs. Dodge's period, History.

"Exactly! its a month away! Why do you want to go now?"

"How did you even get into cheerleading? You are the laziest and least cheeriest person I know!"

"Okay! I'll go!" I really didnt like it when Tyra picked on me about cheerleading.

I am already very self conscious, I dont need Tyra telling me that Im not fit for cheerleading. I never felt like I was...and even after becoming head cheerleader, I dont feel like I deserve to be in the team. I'm just so much more different than them.

Tyra and Jacob might disagree to that but that's only because they have to! They are my friends, its their job to make me feel better about myself! But whatever they say, I know for a fact that everything I have has been handed to me by my Mom, my brothers, my Best friend and my boy friend.

The only reason I even have any amount of popularity is because of Tyra and....

Yeah...okay...lets not talk about the depressing story that is my life.

So anyways....

The bell rang and we got out of class. It was lunch time.

Me and Tyra got to the lunch room and for the first time ever Jacob wasn't waiting for us in our usual seat.

In the beginning of high school when the three of us were Freshmen, we'd always find it hard to get a place to sit. So when we finally got left early from class and saw a table free one day we decided to always come early and catch that table. Since me and Tyra were horribly slow Jacob used to go before us and catch it. After a year of catching that table we didn't need to come early anymore...that table was marked as our territory. Everyone knew that thats where we sat. But despite that Jacob always came early... I don't know if it was because it had become habit or because it was just kinda like tradition.

"Where is he?" I asked Tyra, hoping she would know.

"I don't know. He is YOUR boyfriend! you should know."

A random guy i had never seen in my entire life said. "I saw him go to the medical room"

"Thank you, stranger"

"Medical room? is he hurt? i think we should check." i said. i was really concerned for him.

We went to medical room and when we entered, I saw something I wish I had never seen. I cant really describe what it was but basically I had just caught Jacob cheating on me.

I trusted Jacob. I really did. I didn't want to leave without giving him a chance to explain but what I saw was just too heartbreaking. I ran out of there and went to the only person I could think of - Adam.

Adam was in the cafeteria eating pudding when i saw him.

"Hey, Ash. Whats wrong? Are you crying?"

"I need to talk to you."

I know. I shouldn't be running back to my ex just cuz I saw my boyfriend cheating on me. I know I should give him a chance to explain but I really couldn't talk to Jacob now without bursting into tears.

We went to the stairs leading to the terrace cuz right now that was the only quiet and empty area.

"Now can you please tell me whats wrong, Ashley?"
