Just One Chance

Chapter 6: Life Without Him

-2 months after ending the friendship-

"How can you not like superhero movies!?" I say to Jackie

Hold up -skrrrrrt- did you just read me talking to Jackie? Well yeah a lot has changed in 2 months. Jacyntha and Jackie got into another fight which led to Jackie apologizing to everyone and with me and Jacyntha having such big hearts we forgave her. Malena on the other hand still can't stand her all though she just tolerates her because she knows that we are friends with her. Okay continue.

"I don't know I just don't find them interesting." She says back to me laughing

"Ughhhh!" Jacyntha says as Malena and her make there was to the lunch table

"Wow wow what got your panties in a bunch?" I say laughing

"It's February! I hate February! All the happy people with their happy lives and happy boyfriends! Uggh! Makes me sick"

"I know what you mean." I say rolling my eyes

"Oh no!" Malena yells "You're no longer allowed to say that, you're the only one who may actually be celebrating Valentines Day this year! You lucky slut!"

"How rude!" I say as I throw a french fry at her "We haven't even been talking for that long today's what the 7th okay so that means we've only been talking for 7 days, only a week. And either way you know my parents are strick as hell so we can't even like really really celebrate it anyways"

"Are you guys hanging out today?" Jackie asks

"Yeah its our first time hanging out, I'm kind of nervous." I say holding my stomach

"You guys use to be friends before there's nothing for you to be nervous about." Malena says

"Make sure you use protection." Jacyntha says taking a condom out of her purse and throwing it at me

"Jacy what the fuck!? That's so gross!" I yell as I throw it back at her "We're gonna be outside, what could we possibly do outside?"

"A lot of things!" They all say together and laugh as if they know from experience

As we all laugh and talk about a variety of things going from planning out my first hang out with Tyrone, to how much we hate Valentines Day, to what class we have next and how much we hate that too.

As we go to get up to dump our trays I accidentally bump into someone almost dropping my tray. "Oh my God I am so sorry, are you okay?" I ask and as he turns around my heart stops, my hands get sweaty, my breathing is out of control and I feel like either vomiting or fainting.

"Oh no its fine, it was my fault. Are you okay?" He asks before completely looking at me to realize who he was talking to "Oh hi Alana."

"Hi Adriel." I manage to get out

Jacyntha seeing how awkward this was becoming says, "Oh wow look at the time we're going to be late if we don't go now. Bye Adriel!"

I walked past him so quickly I didn't even say goodbye, but by his body language you could tell he wanted to say something but I didn't give him the chance to.

Jacyntha's class and my class was close to each other so we walked together. You could almost touch the awkwardness that's how thick it was. "You alright?"

"I'll be alright, I haven't gotten that close to him since the day--"

"Yeah I know." She says "Don't think about him, I mean you got Tyrone now you don't need him."

"Yeah I know, that's not the point though. We was still really good friends. After that day I went home and blocked him on everything and labeled his number under Don't Answer didn't think it'd be this hard to be honest. I miss him." I say as I look down

She grabs my face and makes me look at her and says, "Hey no, no you do not miss him! It was for the best okay. You'll get through this. I'll be here for you every step of the way okay. I love you so much, if you need me during class just text me the code and I'll meet you at our bathrooms. This is my class I gotta go but just stay strong okay, only 3 more periods and then you'll be chilling with Tyrone and completely forget that that even happened."

After hugging me and giving me a kiss on my forehead she walks into class mouthing "you got this". The rest of the walk to my class I was mentally prepping myself to get through these next few classes. I've been doing so good with avoiding him we're on different divisions so seeing him during school is almost never. If we happen to stay after on the same day I get off on my stop and sometimes he gets off on his girlfriends stop so we still never see each other. I don't see anything of him on social media so everything was just working out so perfectly. I was even talking to someone so that made it even easier to forget him, but for some reason that little encounter made it so hard to forget, it made me remember everything I didn't want to remember everything...uggh
