What Happened?

It was just like any other day. I had to wake up early for school, but that didn't really bother me like most people. I don't know why but school didn't really bug me as much as it did for others. I'm not like most people. I've been trough pain all my life, I don't cry and I don't feel pain. Okay well I do feel it, but it doesn't hurt as much as it would to others. Anyways.... I got dressed did my makeup etc..and I walked to the bus stop. I'm a junior in high school and its nothing special really. When I got to school me and my best friend Emily went to our lockers like usual mine first then hers. Emily was one of my best friends and has been since 5th grade. As we were walking to her locker I spotted him... Jack. I must have stopped walking or something because Emily grabbed my arm " hey Alex you ok?" my actual name is Alexandra but people call me Alex. I looked over to her and told her I was fine. Now you're probably asking whose Jack and why do we care, well Jack was the one that I let slip trough my hands a long time ago. Me and him were best friends but we hadn't talked to each other since my freshmen year. He was the same age as me, average height with dirty blond hair. I wonder how he's been?

After 4th hour I go to lunch and meet up with the girls. I have a lot of people that I talk to but my girls are like sisters to me. To me if you so much as lay a finger on one strand of their hair I will kick your ass. There sitting at the table was Emily, Sam, and Rachel. Sam, and Rachel have been my best friends since 7th grade. When I got to our table I watched as Sam and Emily quickly tried to finish their homework. A few minutes later Emily's boyfriend Justin came over and sat with us. We were all laughing until we heard shouting in the cafeteria. I looked up and saw Jack getting punched. I quickly got up and started to walk over to him. Sam and Emily tried calling my name but they knew it wouldn't work. As I walked up to the fight I pulled Adam off of Jack and I started to yell at him

" What's your problem leave him alone!"

" Get out of here you little b!tch!"

Jack was shocked but knew that I didn't take crap from anyone.

"How about no?" I asked him, shrugging my shoulders.

I grabbed Jack by the arm and pulled him away. Until he stopped to what Adam had to say " your girlfriend won't be there to save your ass next time!" I ignored him and kept walking. Although I'm not his girlfriend I will always be there for him. As I was pulling Jack away he pulled his arm out of my hand and turned to yell at me. Now your probably asking why I'm waiting for him to yell at me, well I'll tell you why, it's because that's just what we do; we yell at each other. I know it's weird but that's how our friendship started, believe it or not.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Jack yelled at me.

"Excuse me but I just saved your ass back there!"

"I didn't ask for your help now did I?"

"Well sorry Jack for being a nice person! All you had to do was say thank you"

"Thank you!?" "Are you kidding me you just embarrassed me"

"You seemed to be doing a pretty good job of that yourself." I retorted.

With that said I walked off. I went back to the table and saw all my friends with there mouths hanging to the floor. Well that was everyone but Emily. Emily knew how I felt about Jack. She is the only one who knows because I knew she would be the only one who would understand me. After the bell rang me and Emily walked to 5th hour.

"What was that all about" Emily asked

"Oh you know how Jack has to be just like every guy and can't let a girl help him."

"No not that what you did what's up with that?"

"What are you talking about you know me if someone's getting bullied I step in."

"No I know that I mean you just walked away."

"Oh that.... yeah well um I thought it was just time I moved on you know. I mean I still have feelings for him, but they're just not as strong as they used to be. "

"So are you saying your totally done with him like no more feelings at all?"

"No of course not. I will always have feelings for Jack, just not as strong as the ones I used to have. I need to try to move on this isn't helping me it's only hurting me.."

All she did was nod her head. Emily was always understanding of me. That is one of the best things about her. As we were walking around the corner I ran into something hard and fell to the ground. Of course Emily being her self just laughed because that's how we treat each other. The person I ran into was starting to get up. " Ow what the hell just happened?"

" You ran into me that's what happened."

"No I'm pretty sure you ran into me."

"Look I don't care who ran into who.." then like that all of a sudden our banter was interupted by the school's bell..

Ring Ring Ring Ring

"Shit come on Emily we have to get to class."

At this point I wasn't really focused on who ran into who anymore because now I was more concerned that we would be late to class. And Emily has already been late too many times. Any more and she will get detention and her mother would kill her if that happened. Her mother is a bit, and I say this gently, bipolar.

"Shit I can't be late again Alex you know my mom will kill me" she informs me of what I clearly already know and starts to drag me by my arm to class.

"Yeah thanks for the apology."

Crap I totally forgot about this kid.     " Right sorry bye!" I shouted as we were running down the hall, hoping not to be late.

"Woah you can't just get all up on a guy and not give him your name!" He shouts back out of the blue.

"Alex." I reply rolling my eyes. "Now I have to go bye!"

And with that me and Emily went to class. Luckily we made it just before the finale bell.
