Tuesday on the bus
I haven’t talked to jack for four days, Monday was no school so it was easy avoiding him , although it’s not hard to avoid someone who makes no effort in talking to you. “how are you and Johnson doing?” Jessica whispers because he was in the seat infront of us “we haven’t talked since he’d blew me off… but its okay, ill just talk to him later on today” the rest of the ride was quiet, looking out the window wondering what jack was thinking about. I went to my locker, jack and the three other guys were there. “hey jack, why haven’t you returned any of my calls or text?” “oh I was busy,” he said still looking in his locker searching for something. It was obvious cam, nash, and taylor were interested in what we were talking about because they got really quiet when I slammed mine and jack’s locker “you left me out in the cold! For 40 minutes, 40 long, ass minutes jack!. The least you could do is say sorry!!”
“sorry..”
He said, with no sympathy, just a flat. Sorry. “sorry?! Just sorry, no next time ill do better, whats wrong with you jack!” “Nothing, just shut up, why are you being so needy. I maybe didn’t wanna hang out with you!” he turned to me as he said this, his eyes were a glossy blue and the white parts, were light pink. This horrible smell came off of him. “Your so needy its annoying!” I look at the nash and the others, they looked shocked. But not just shocked but also impressed. “You know what johnson, don’t talk to me ever again its over. I’m breaking up with you.” I said with my eyes watering and tears falling down.. I started walking off and I heard him say
“finally…”
I Stopped, I ran out the school, I saw Jessica in the corner of my eye but just ignored her, I headed the town park probably 3 blocks from the school. “Victoria!!, Vic wait!” she called after me but I pretend that I couldn’t hear her. “did you hear that?! He embarrassed me in front of them, it felt like the whole school was closing in” “Victoria don’t cry..” “he didn’t even look the same!” “what do you mean?”
“His eyes were light pink and glossy, and he smelled like a strong odor. It smelled bad though.. he’s like a new person. I bet it was Cameron, Nash and Taylor’s fault! They ruined everyt-“ I was interrupted by Jessica “wait, did the smell, smell familiar think very hard..” “kinda, I mostly smelled it when Brent was around…” Brent is jessica’s older brother, everytime he was around he would have the same nasty smell.
“and his eyes, were glossy?” I nodded. “Victoria, I think jack is doing drugs.. NOT bad ones like cocaine and heroine but like weed and alcohol. And I think I know who and what the problem is…”
Nash, Cameron and Taylor. I thought.
