I am Lola

Chapter 2

Yes, it was official. I was the girl who made her ex boyfriend gay.

I hated how news traveled so fast around our school. Some claimed that I cheated on him, that's why he swore to never trust a women ever again. Some claimed that I convinced him to be gay, now why would I do that?

" Micheal look I'm really sorry, I didnt tell anyone but I shouldn't have stayed and listened to you guys. I am really sorry."

" You know what Lola? I'm almost sure that you told everyone. I shouldn't have trusted you, and to think I was going to tell you about me and Cam."

" Micheal, I didn't tell anyone. I swear", I could tell he wasn't listening, "Micheal."

" Save it Lola."  He turned around and left. What did I do to deserve this? I held my tears back, I actually cared about Micheal. I hadn't realised it before, but I did. And I wanted him to be happy. The bell rang, thank god, and I practically ran to my next class as fast as I could. Just to find out the teacher called in sick. Great... I would have been happy since it was Geography, but everyone had heard of what happened this lunch. And the girls were staring at me...

I think a part of me wanted the whole school to talk. Talk about me. But not in this way, I wanted them to talk about something positive. Not me forcing someone to be something they dont want to be. (Which is not what happened by the wat.) And why would I force Micheal to be gay!? And why is being gay looked down on in our school? Questions, questions...

" Hi."

" Are you sure you should be seen with me? I know everyone here has got a 'reputation' to protect."

" What? Don't be stupid."

" I think I have been doing a lot of that lately."

" I dont think you're stupid."

" Give it some time, you've only known me for 5 minutes." So we talked, he was nice to me, which in these past few days was a change. 

" Wait I didnt even catch your name."

" I thought you would know."

" And why would I know?"

" Everyone does, anyway, I'm Jake."

" Hi Jake, I'm L-"

" Lola. I know."

Then he just left the class without saying anything. But who was he? I had never seen him before, and what was he doing in my class? Maybe he was new. Or maybe he was from the popular crowd, which I highly doubt since everyone there hates my guts. Why? Because I turned Micheal, one of the most popular guys in school, gay.

" Hi princess."

" Oh not you again." 

Yes, that was Brandon. Let me explain; when I was in 7th grade, and he was in 8th, I told him that I was in love with him. I dont remember, but he claims that I wrote him a poem. Since then, he was always teasing me. But now that we were older, he was just trying to get in my pants. I hated it when he teased me like that, I mean I would totally tell him to stop, but he was really hot. And once he got close, you couldn't really resist him. He also had these dreamy blue eyes, that once you looked into them, you just got lost. I always try so hard to resist those eyes.

" Aw come on, you know you want me."

" I dont, that was back in 7th grade Brandon. Get over it."

" Whatever you say Princess." That was weird. He usually never gave in, maybe he too heard about how I turned Micheal gay and was scared of me.

" Can I ask you something?"

" Sure Princess."

" Do you find me... irritating?"

" Oh, you mean because of that gay thing. Dont worry Princess, I think even you're not capable of turning me gay." Well that was true, I mean Brandon was one of the schools biggest players. I have seen him with three different girls in one day. Which was a lot, even for Brandon.

After I got out of my last class, I headed straight home. Everyone was talking about the big party tonight, for a change everyone was invited. It was in Jake's house. I guess he was from the "popular crowd". I try to avoid people like that, but Jake was different. At least he acted differently, he didnt hit on me even once when we talked. Usually, all the guys I talked to would have hit on me by then. Either making a snarky comment about my ass, or asking me what I was doing tonight. Which was their way of setting up a bootie call.

I took a shower, then wore my red dress, I wanted to look sexy tonight. Mostly because I wanted everyone to not think of me as a girl with a low self-esteem who turns guys gay. Under my red dress I wore my convies. I wasn't a high heels kind of girl anyway, I only wore them if I had to. And my black convies looked really cute under that dress. Macy and Trish had texted me that they were also coming, so I wouldn't be alone. Well, thats what they said anyway, most probably, they were just looking for cute guys to go home with. I on the other hand, was going to see Jake. I had actually liked him, he was kind of cool, and I still couldn't get over the fact that he didn't hit on me. 

" Lola someone is here for you!" That was my mum, Macy and Trish are here to pick me up. 

" Hi Lola, you ready to go?" It wasn't Macy, or Trish. It was Jake.
