Mystery Girl

Chapter 11: Mystery Girl

The day was over. One more day of summer was gone. 15 days of summer left. At this point I still hadn't heard from Jesse, and I wasn't sure what to do. I tried to get away from it, it was driving me crazy. I tried going to the mall, of course everyone in sight was raving about Jesse's amazing performance last night, but then I over heard a conversation about a mystery girl. A mystery girl that Jesse was with after the concert. I was the mystery girl. The people said that this "mystery girl" had been asked to meet him at the concert, and were seen hugging after the concert. If this wasn't me I would be very surprised. At this point I was just very confused. "What is happening" I said to myself. As I continued through the mall I walked past a newspaper kiosk to find a picture of myself with Jesse, headlining "who is Jesse's mystery girl" at this point I was freaking out, I bought a newspaper and got out of there as quickly as I could. I brought the newspaper to Emily for her to see, when I heard a vibrate coming from my phone. I opened the message, it was from Jesse.
