I wipe my tears and fix up my makeup, why does this always happen, when something good comes to my life it turns to shit. I walk out the bathroom and walk to my locker. The queen bee herself standing right next to me smiling. What is her problem.
" heard about your little boyfriend, or should I say ex boyfriend" she giggles and skips away. How did she hear and he is not my boyfriend well he wasn't and he still isn't argh.
I grab my files and walk to homeroom maybe I can ask him then. I enter the room and see Bella so I walk to her but keep my eyes on Joey as he enters the room.
" hey girl what's up, wow why are your eyes puffy and red wait have you been crying" Bella questions and pulls me in for a hug.
" no im fine I just...didn't get enough sleep last night that's all" I giggle
I see Joey sit down with his friends but he doesn't look happy so I walk over to him. As he sees me he slowly moves away now I'm just mad and in shock. I grab his collar of his shirt and drag him outside the room so no one can hear me yell.

Someone grabs my collar and as I look it's the one person I didn't want to talk to.
" Joey please look at me. Why have you been avoiding me all morning ok what did I do to you, you won't even look at me" I see a tear escape her eye this is hurting her as much as me but I can't I just can't she could get hurt physically. I wipe the tear from her cheek and hold her face as she looks up at me.i check to see if the guys can see or hear me but we are good.
" look it's not my choice ok" she looks at me in confusion and shame.
" please Ash I can't tell you but just know that if I had a choice I would stay by your side please just don't get involved stay away from me" in that note I run to the oval to get some air. This isn't fair they don't get to choose who I'm friends with. I like her a lot.

After what Joey says he runs but what is he talking about. I'm not going to get emotional about a boy so I just walk back to Bella. She looks up in confusion but I give her a don't ask look and she nods and smiles. As Bella and I chat I can't help but to notice someone looking at me but I can't tell who. A boy walks up to me and now I know it was him as he is giving me the same feeling as before and I don't like it.
" hi I'm Brandon" he says as he puts his hand out to me.
" um hi I'm a" he cuts me off.
" I know who you are how could I not with a beautiful face Iike that" he smiles. (He has the cutest smile, even though his mouth was closed. He has short brown hair I think I've seen him before or maybe a brother and the most gorgeous blue eyes.)which makes me blush uncontrollably I put my hand out to shake his which is still there.
" would you like to maybe go on a date with me tomorrow night I can pick you up at 5"
" sure that would take my mind off everything" I give him a small smile as he writes down his number on my hand because I couldn't find paper then go back to what I was doing. Well that was odd but I guess I'm kinda happy because it can take my mind off the fact that Joey won't tell me why he is avoiding me.

I'm waiting in class as the bell goes, finally break. I walk to my locker but of course it wouldn't be an average day without Meredith pushing me to the floor laughing. Brandon sees me and hurries to help me up I feel awkward as that is usually something that Joey would do. I grab my things from him and give him a small smile.
" uh thanks I"he cuts me off, once again.
"Does she do that a lot?" He asks with concern.
I just slightly nod as he looks disappointed. I reach out and put my hand on his arm so he knows I'm alright and I know that it comforts him. I wave goodbye to him and keep walking to my locker. I can't help but think where was Joey, he is always there when I need him so why not today. I remember about what the girl in the bathroom said about joining her table. I guess I could use a little of a break from my friends because they can get a little suspicious when something is wrong and I don't really feel like talking today. I grab a tray and head to the line as one of Meredith's groupies comes over to me.
" careful what you choose, don't want to get fatter" she giggles. I almost start crying there and then till I hear another's voices.
" go pick on someone that's actually fat and while your there you might want to go on a diet to" she grabs my tray and begins putting everything on it. She grabs my arm and leads me to a table. I look up and I realise it's Carissa I smile comes across my face and I sit down.
" I hate those girls they are so rude and your not even the slightest bit plumpy" I giggle at her comment all the girls begin to introduce themselves. (I'm just gonna show pics)
