One Way To End It

Chapter Two

  The bus would drop me off a block from school, so I would always walk a little before I arrived at school.

  In this day, I didn't walk alone:

  "Hey, Melody!"

  "Hey Adah!"

  She walked beside me.

  "So, ready for school?"

  "When am I ever ready for school?"

  "Psh, never..."

  "Exactly."

  We both laughed.

  "Hey girls!"

  We both looked to the source of the voice. It was Abigail. I met her through Adah and we quickly became best friends.

  "Hey Abigail!"

  "Hey, so what are we doing today? After school, of course."

  Adah spoke.

  "I think we should go shopping."

  "Yeah, that would be fun!" Abigail responded.

  "Sorry girls, but I can't go..."

  Adah looked at me with a frown.

  "Why not?"

  "I promised Andre that I would help him with his guitar lessons."

  "Come on, you two just fuck already..."

  "ADAH!"

  "What?"

  Adah and Abigail laughed. I smiled.

  We got to the school. The bell rang as soon as we got there. We all went inside the classroom. I sat next to Adah while Abigail sat next to Olive, the fourth member of our girl group.

  Adah tapped my on the arm with her shoulder.

  "Hey, there's Leo."

  Ahh, Leo Jones, to me, he was the cutest guy in the whole school, I've had a crush on him since the first time I saw him...

  "Shut up, I don't even like him..."

  "You shut up, you love him you ratchet."

  I slapped Adah in the arm, she laughed. Andre walked in the classroom, I was surprised. I got up and went to talk to him.

  "Hey! What are you doing here?"

  "I changed classes. I'm in yours now."

  "Oh my god Andre, that's so cool!"

  "I know, right?! I can hang out with my bff and my bro."

  "Yeah, that's awesome."

  The teacher walked in the room. I sat back down and Andre sat next to Leo.

  Leo was his bro. He wanted to introduce me to him but I'm afraid I'll get too nervous and scare him off... I know what you're thinking. Come on Melody, go get him! I'm sorry but I get sooo nervous, you don't even know... One time, when I was talking to another boy, I even forgot my name, believe it or not.
  Oh I'm rambling on again, I'm sorry, I'll shut up.

  "Andre is in this class?"

  "Yeah, isn't that cool?!"

  I must've spoken to loudly.

  "Girls, quiet please."

  "Sorry teacher..."

  The same boring class was given, you don't want to read about that, so I won't say it. So the classes ended and I went to meet Andre.

  "Hey Andre."

  "Hey Melody."

  "So, ready for me to help you?"

  "Yeah, we're not doing that..."

  "What do you mean?"

  "When you're with me you talk non-stop about Leo."

  "Oh, I'm sorry..."

  "No, it's okay. This is why we're here... I want you to meet him, but you'll come this time."

  This was the moment that changed my whole life.

  "Fine... I'll come this time..."
