A Strange Love

Stressed Out

After school:

Friday....

I have never been so happy in my life over a Friday! Mostly because I won't have to deal with Selina and her bull crap. This whole week she has been talking non stop about Jared. And honestly, it got old really fast.

This woman can not take a hint that I really don't like her. Every day she sits next to me at lunch, then Jared comes along to sit next to her and she acts like she hasn't seen him in five years when really it's only been two minutes.

After he comes to sit down they make out for about a good two minutes before they start to eat. Honestly, it makes me want to gag. She also acts like we're the most best friends in the whole world.

I can't stand that woman.

Anyway, I really like Jonathan and Edward, or we like to call him Eddie, they are really cool guys. Pamela and me have been getting along lately. She's actually a really cool person. She asked me if I was free tonight so I could spend the night at her house. But I just said I had a lot of chores to do. Really, I don't. I'm just stressed out.

~flashback~

Jared asked Selina at lunch today if she could come over to his house tonight. And of course she agreed to it. And if you hadn't noticed, when I'm mad, I stay silent. I don't talk at all. I was then snapped out of my thought when she asked if I was okay. I'm naturally a nice person, I replied with a slight,

I'm good.

To her. I noticed Pamela across the table mouthing to me a

Are you okay?

I just shook my head a yes to her. I could tell she knew something was wrong with me, but she never said anything of it. After lunch when I was walking to class I felt two hands grab me and pull my into the girls bathroom. As soon as they let go I was about to scream bloody murder when I realized it was just Pam.

What the hell are you doing?

I said. She replied with,

Ashley! What's wrong? Before lunch you were fine until Selina and Jared came to the table! And trust me when I say I know you well enough to know when your mad! And I can already tell you hate Selina!

I just stood there silent. I didn't know what to say, yeah I only knew Pam for a couple of days but I feel like I've known her for years, I feel like I could tell her anything. Right as I was about to tell her I like Jared, it was to late, she already figured it out.

Wait.... do you? You know! Like him!

I quickly shushed her and put my hand over her mouth. She then stared at me wide eyed. I then said to her

Yes! Okay I do! I admit it! But you have to promise me you won't tell a soul! Promise me?

She then quickly nodded her head rapidly like a bobble head.

Good. Now I trust you not to tell anyone okay! I'm going to let go now.

I then let go of my hand and let it fall to my side as I stared at her to see what she would say. She just let her jaw drop. After about 30 seconds she squealed. I still swear to the heavens I went deaf for about five seconds.

You! You do! I knew it! Yes! I knew it!

I then started to laugh at her still shocked expression. I then repeated to her

Please don't tell anyone!

It's fine Ash! I swear I won't tell a soul! My lips are sealed!

She then proceeded to pretend to zip her mouth shut. Right after that the bell rang then we all went to class.
