Chapter 13:Trash

Valentine's Day

It was time. Valentine's Day. Go to school. Watch everyone with their lovers.

I walked into the school wearing a black crop top, jeans and converse. I saw people holding hands and exchanging gifts. Lovely. I went to the main office with a sigh to get the necklaces people got me, if any.

The lady sitting at the front desk was an older women. She was the nicest one here. Her name was Nancy..I think.

"Good morning young lady. Name please." Nancy asked me with smile. Errrrr...

"Jenny Porter" I looked around at the pale yellow office and saw the benches in the corners while she searched for the beads.

"Oh my. You have 4 beads. Must have lots of people that love you." 4?

"Thank you" 

" Your welcome and have a nice day"

Walking to the I looked at the letters attached to them and read one from Dylan, Kim, Amanda and Kevin. KEVIN... YOOO!!

I stopped in my tracks and reread it to make sure I wasn't going crazy. It's said, "I miss you. Kevin"

This bitch thinks he can hurt me the way he did and expect me to forgive him. Oh honey, you're wrong. I kept walking straight, looking for the one thing in my mind. Found one. Grabbing the necklace that Kevin gave me I tossed it in the trash without giving a second glance back.

*A FEW WEEK LATER*
There was about an hour until spring break was in session. All I had was one more class. Gym.
My step father came home a few weeks ago, and he had changed. A good one. For the first time in a long time he wasn't mad, drunk, or stupid. Smh.

He probably got laid the few weeks he was gone. Sigh.

I was at my main locker putting my some stuff away when Dylan came up to me. He leaned against the locker and stared at me with a cheesy smile. I stared back at him returning the smile. God he's cute. He looks so yummy in his black shirt with blink 182 printed on it. Mama want some of that.

"May I help you?" I asked him.

He responded with, "I got a fantastic idea" I waited for him to continue. He didn't.

"Well? What's the idea?" 

"Oh right." Clearing his throat he said "let's hang out, Friday at 7 with friends. Yes?" 

Did  Dylan Archer Ask me on a date? Wait, rewind. "-with friends." Dammit I got friend-zoned. Ugh. What's a girl to do.  Ehehehehe...

"Um....sure. Where should we go?" I asked as Dylan looped an arm around my shoulder and led me to the gym.

"Mmmmmm. I don't know." He had a straight face for a few seconds then BAM! "Let's go watch a movie at one of our houses. Good idea." He started nudging me. Que bestia este niño. (Omg this boy though.) he made me laugh.

Rinnnnnggggggg. The bell rang as soon as we opened the gym doors. His arm left my shoulder an I felt an immediate coldness surpassing me. What's wrong with me?

"We shall discuss this later madam." With that he went to the guys locker room to change. 

I walked into the girls locker room and started to put my backpack down. I put it on the floor as Kim came skipping towards me with a grin on her face. Giving her a once over, just in case, I noticed she had on a blue shirt and black leggings.

"Do we have a new couple in the school?" She said with a giddy voice, sitting down on the bench crossing her long legs.

"No, why would you think that?" I looked at her while removing my black shirt for a loose purple one.

"I saw the way Dylan looked at you. His eyes sparkled when you smiled at him, almost as if he won the Olympics. And oh my god, when he put his arm around your shoulder." She sighed." Damn I saw one hell of  connection going on there."

I stared at her trying to keep a poker face but failed. I just couldn't help it but I burst out laughing.

"What?" Kim had a confused look on her face which made me double over more if possible and laugh harder. I was starting to get cramps.

"W-we are only f-friends!" I breathed in between laughs. I sighed and calmed down a little. Wiping a tear I told her, " Kim. Listen to me. We are only good friends who knew each other for a long time and just want to catch up."

"Okay then..whatever you say." Kim ran out the locker room.

As I entered the gymnasium, I saw the guys were talking and laughing out loud. Looking for Dylan I found James instead. He looked up from a guy whose name think was Alan and smiled at me. I smiled back. I couldn't hold a grudge against him forever.

I kept walking until I reached a group of girls near the mats. the gym had cream walls with vents blowing cool air in here. It was still hot. 

Pulling my hair back into a messy bun, I tuned into what the girls where saying.

"Did you guys watch the new episode of Riverdale last night?" Emily said. Wearing a grey tank top and black shorts. 

"Yeah it was interesting but I fell asleep watching it." I told the group.

Kim hadn't watched it more or less heard of it. 

The gym teacher, Mrs. Adams came out from her office and told everyone to grab a volleyball and pair up. I gave Kim the look and she nodded. Walking over to the bin I grabbed one when my arm was grabbed by someone and was pulled up. I looked at at the person and saw it was James.

"Hey." He said and I responded with a hi back.

"So listen" He cleared his throat and continued, "I know I hurt Amanda and I'm sorry but I had to do it." Everyone was starting to the nets and bumping the ball with their partners. Kim looked at me and gave me a What's taking so long look. Her eyes slipped to the person next to me and she just nodded back at me.

"Okay. I just don't want to talk about this right now. Maybe later?" I told him

"Porter and Adsett quit the chit chat and start playing. Now!" Mrs. Adams said as James and I scurried across the gym to our partners. His was a kid named Arron Hernandez. He had dirty blond hair and green eyes. He wore a black muscle shirt showing off his buff arms. 

I faced Kim and bump passed the ball. She passes it back and we kept doing that with breaks in between. After that we played a mini-game against the other girls and the guys played with each other.

.............................

I was getting out of the locker room. Kim told me she had to go to the library so she left. I watched as the other kids got picked up by friends or parents. The cars were revving and getting out of this hell house.

I was to busy staring at the grass to notice James come up to me.

"Hey Jenny."

"Hi"

"Can we talk, right now? In private." James had a nervous look on his face which made me narrow my eyes at him.

"Sure." I said hesitantly. Whatever this talk was going to be about I only knew that it wasn't going to be good.

I followed him to the only place that was empty. The field.

"So what did you want to talk about?"

"Look, I know you hate me and all but-" I cut him off by saying "Hate is a strong word."

He continued. "Well, yeah but anyways. I wanted to know if you want to go on a date with me?"

What? I felt my blood boil and so I simply told him,

"Go to hell" and left.
