Chapter 3 - The Truth About Adam

Jasmines P.O.V:

" I feel all sticky" I whined as Carmen helped me cleanup from the soda spill.  

" Well, I know its not your fault but I'm warning you stay away from the girl, she is nothing but trouble.  Her name is Brittney, and you know that guy Taylor that was staring at you...well she likes him a lot, but he has rejected her twice already" Carmen said.

" Wow, tell me more about this Taylor guy..." I said.  

"I will later I promise but we are getting late for Science, the bell has rung already" Carmen said to me hurriedly.

Carmen and I gathered our stuff and ran to class, the lunchroom was was now like a haunted memory. By the time we had gotten to class we were already 3 minutes late.  

" Where have you been Carmen...well it doesn't matter now, just don't let this happen again, and is that the new girl with you?" asked the math teacher.

" OK this won't happen again I promise, and yes this is Jasmine Garcias" Carmen answered him in an irritated tone.

" Well Jasmine nice to meet you, my name is Mr. Adams and I will be your math teacher this year, you may take your seat" Mr. Adams said to me.

I was in complete shock, it felt as if I was just stabbed in the heart.  Hearing Adam's name was a little too much for me to handle.  I was so dazed I didn't know where I was going but I ended up sitting next to Carmen, and right across from my stranger, Taylor.  As soon as I sat down my eyes connected with Taylor's yet again. Just then a group shouted from across the room

" MR. ADAMS!!!".  I don't know how but I bursted out in tears and ran out of the classroom.

"YOUNG LADY, GET BACK IN HERE!?!" shouted Mr. Adams.

" LEAVE ME ALONE, AND GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" I shouted back as I ran.

I kept running until I found a Janitors closet to hide in.  I slid to the floor, and cried for the longest time until I heard a knock on the door, as the door slowly opened I tried my best to fix myself up. Once the door was fully opened I saw that it was Carmen.  

"I knew you would be in here, but what happened in there tell me please!" Carmen said in a worried tone to me.

"It's nothing I'm completely fine trust me, its just that Adam.....um I mean I've had a rough day..." I said.  "Jasmine who was Adam?" Carmen asked.

"He was no one....ummm you wanna go back to class" I asked in a rushed tone.  

"No until you tell me about Adam" Carmen said stubbornly.

"I don't wanna talk about it..." I said with tears in my eyes.  

"Jasmine you can trust me please" Carmen said as she hugged me.  

" Fine I'll tell you" I said in a tone of defeat.

" Four years ago back in New York Adam was new boy at my old school, he seemed different and cool at the same time.  When I first saw him it was like love at First site.  He was in all of my classes, we were friends and I didn't have the guts to actually tell him my feelings for him. I kept a diary of all my feelings for him with me at all times, but one day I guess it dropped out of my bag and some girls found it and showed Adam the book.  He told me he knew and he asked me out, but he never showed up on the date, and I forgave him for that.  

"One day he told me he really liked me and then the next I found out he had a girlfriend, who was the one schools whores.  I was heartbroken.  He moved away the next year and left me there all alone, and thats when I found out from his friends that he actually was crazy about me as well.  It hurts me how we both felt the same way and never actually got a chance to be one..." I said all this with tears running down my face.

" Wow Jasmine, I really don't know what to say about this, but I for sure will help you get over Adam...Ok" Carmen said in a Motherly tone.

" Thanks for understanding Carmen, but I think we should get back to class" I said calmly.  

"No I should go back to class, you have had a rough day I think you should go to the office and ask to go home" Carmen said.

 "I think thats a good idea, well I'll see you tomorrow.....bye" I said as Carmen gave me a hug, as I turned to leave.  

"Bye Jasmine" Carmen said.

"This has been a weird day...."
