Breaking News

I slapped my alarm clock off my desk the second it started beeping. I didn't want to go to school. Last night was the worst night of my life. Vinny is no longer mine. I would try to fake sick with my mom again, but she caught me in the act last week. So now I have no choice but to go to school. I hurried in the shower and brushed my teeth. I applied a little bit of makeup and got ready. I decided to wear my gray UGGS with a gray Drop Dead tank top and a gray cardigan. I put on my ripped skinny jeans and some jewelry. I grabbed my bag as I ran downstairs and saw my mom at the counter. I grabbed a Poptart from the cabinet and poured myself a glass of Orange juice.

"Good morning sweetie." Even in the morning my Mom's voice was happy. Just a little too happy. I smiled at her as I threw my wrapper away and downed all my Orange Juice.

"Isn't Vinny supposed to be picking you up today right?" My heart sank. I can't let her find out that we broke up. She will most likely drive to Vinny's house and kick his ass. Not that I don't want her to, but it's just too complicated. In my reply, I just simply nodded my head as I took out my now vibrating phone. It was just from Chris saying that he was outside. I grabbed my bag and kissed my mom on the forehead as I was leaving out the door.

"Yup, as a matter of fact, he's here now."

~**~

When we stopped in front of the school, the first two people I saw were Vinny and Claire.  I sank lower and lower into my seat, hoping he won't see me. They looked like they were in an intense conversation, by the way his face twisted up in anger, and by the way she stood tall and proud, like she ruled the world or something. Now how on earth can I compete with her? I'm over here weeping and upset, and she's all happy and.. superior. I hated it.

"Come on." Chris said sighing. He put out the cigarette he was smoking, and I grabbed my bag from the backseat. I saw Chaz over with a group of our friends, but I didn't want to go over there, being that I don't really have the energy to talk. Vinny looked in my direction and I quickly looked away. I ran to my locker, and put in my combination as I grabbed everything that I would need for class. I spotted Chaz as she ran towards me. I didn't even have to say anything before Chaz pulled me into a hug.

"I'm sorry bumpkin." I simply frowned and nodded as she pulled away and took my hand and walked to class together. Today is just one of those days I guess.

-----------------------------------

When Lunchtime came, the three of us were the last ones to arrive. Thanks to my dumbass locker that didn't feel the need to open. All three of us took a seat at our usual table where we sat at yesterday. Since almost everyone got their lunch already, I got up to get in line and get my lunch. But in order to get in line, I would have to pass, 'them'. I really need to get a grip don't I? On second thought, I'll stay out of it and eat when I get home. I couldn't eat anyways. Just looking at them together makes me sick. Chaz kept staring at them from afar, and sent Claire and Vinny murderous looks. And as much as I wanted to laugh, I couldn't find the strength to. Christofer gave me a small smile, and I tried to manage one.

I was in the middle of my Spanish homework when I heard a loud banging noise. My earphones were in my ear and I ignored the world around me. So yeah, that was pretty loud for me to actually hear it. It was Claire, and my heart started to race when the whole cafeteria got quiet and she stood up along with Vinny. I took my earphones off and paused Suicide Silence that was blasting. So many thoughts were running through my head, and I watched them with curious eyes.

"Damn Nick, surprised to see that you still decided to show your face after last night. Your boyfriend Vinny was a pretty good lay." Her face glowed brightly, as she laughed. Everyone was watching with surprised eyes and mocking smirks. I knew it. A few eyes turned to look at me, and I kept my poker face on, even though I wanted to cry in front of everyone. A good lay? So they had sex? It was hard to process what she said, being that Vinny was a virgin like me, and he promised that I would be his first. He promised.

Vinny stood a few feet away, with an uneasy look. As if on cue, the both of us looked up at each other. My eyes showed sadness, betrayal, and anger. But his only showed sympathy and nervousness.

My life is officially over. I could already hear all the rumors and whispers spreading throughout the cafeteria like a wild fire. Even a little bit of giggles filled throughout the room. Chaz and Chris were quickly by my side, but I tuned them out. I felt my anxiety coming back. I ran out the cafeteria, and out of the school, with not even a single thought of coming back.
