Later that night I texted Will. I felt glad and excited but also nervous. We texted until 9:00. At school I was excited to meet him in the halls but I couldn't find him.
"Were were you today?" I texted him.
"I had to go to class early."
"Oh, ok. See you later!"
I didn't see Will later either. Was he avoiding me? I hoped not. I tried texting him again but he didn't reply.
"He must be busy in class or some thing" I told myself.
As I was walking to my friends car after school a girl my age came up to me. She had really blonde hair and pale skin.
"You're Bella right?" She asked.
"Yeah." I replied.
"Stay away from Will. He's my boyfriend." At that she walked away and I got In the car and just sat there. After thinking for a while I started to get angry. How could he tell me he likes me even though he has a girlfriend? By then Karen had driven me to the coffee shop I like and I got out.
"Thanks" I said as I got out of the car. I ordered a hot coffee and waited for my best friend Abby. When she arrived and sat down I started to cry.
"What's wrong?!" She said surprised.
"Will, Will is wrong." I sobbed.
"I thought Will told you he liked you." She said patting my back.
"He did! But he didn't tell me that he has a girlfriend."
Abby was my best friend. She had been for since we were 1. I felt safe telling her everything, in fact I felt unsafe if I didn't tell her everything. Abby just sat there patting my back and telling me that it wasn't going to work out from the start. In the back of my mind I knew it to but I didn't want to admit it. I took out my phone and called Will.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Hi Will. I need to talk to you." I said.
"Ok..."
"Meet me in front of the caffe down the street from our school." I said.
After Abby left Will came in.
"What's up?" He said while sitting down.
"Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend?" I asked him. He stopped and started at me. He had a look on his face that said 'how'd you find out.'
"Because I like you and I didn't think that it mattered as long as I broke it off." Ha! He didn't think it mattered?
"I'm sorry Will but I don't want to see you if you have a girlfriend. Lets not dig this hole deeper than it needs to be." I stood up and started walking away. I got to the door and could feel the tears coming. My throat felt like there was a rock in it because I was trying to hold back my tears. I didn't feel like waiting for Karen to pick me up again so I decided to walk home int the cold December weather.
When I got home I deleted Wills number and I laid on my bed. When I looked at the clock it said 4:16. Even though I had tennis I didn't want to do anything so I just kept laying there. I laid there for a couple hours thinking about this last week and 5th grade. There were good times... but also bad times.
The next day at school I took different routes so I wouldn't run into Will. Thinking about him made my head hurt. Later that day I ran into Will's girlfriend. She tried to talk to me but I told her I had to go to class and I ran down the hall. The next two weeks was though. I had an exam to study for and I had to avoid Will.
