The school bell rang, signaling us that the class is over. Everybody signed with relief and scurried their way to the exit. I followed them shortly after with a frown on my face. It’s the end of Fall Season; which means the end of our Fall Break. While everyone was groaning and whining that school is just around the corner, I was getting very anxious for school, which is very unlike of me. I walk towards my lock but it was getting difficult by the sea of students going to the cafeteria or outside for lunch.
I finally reached my locker but something is quite off. My bestfriend, Jesy, is not here. It’s strange because we always meet at my locker or hers. ‘Hers’ I thought. She must be at her locker. I reached to her locker easily as most of the students are at lunch now.
My face lit up when I saw my bestfriend taking something out from her locker. “Jesy”, I cried, going near her.
She jumped a bit at my sudden call and looked at my direction. Something is really wrong with Jesy. Her face is emotionless. Her nose is a bit red, her eyes are red too, and a bit watery.
“What’s wrong, Jesy? Why are you avoiding me? You’ve been dodging my calls for the past few weeks! What’s wrong?” I keep questioning her but she stood the same.
“Nothing’s wrong, I’m just..” she trailed off and started walking away. I grabbed her shoulder and made her turn to me.
“Stop trailing off. Tell me!” I demanded. Her phone vibrated, she picked it up. She stared at the phone with a sad face.
“What’s wrong? Who’s that?” I asked and reached for her phone but she moved it out of reach. “It’s none of you damn business, Amber. So shut up!” she snapped completely.
I was taken aback by her sudden outburst. She stormed her way through the halls, leaving me shocked and confused.
***********
“Stacy! Hey!” Conner, my friend, said waving a hand on my face. After my fight with Jesy, I found Conner and joined him for lunch. We are not at the cafeteria but I keep replaying our fight in my head.
“What?” I frowned. I kept zoning away, figuring out what happened to Jesy, even though I should be mad at her for acting like that. I’m just hurt and sad. She is really forgetting about the meaning of ‘FRIENDSHIP’.
“Are you going to eat that?” he asked pointing at my now cold spaghetti. I grimaced; I hate it when the food gets cold. After the fight, I lost my appetite and this just added the touch.
“It’s cold”, I stated.
“That matters why…?” he drawled off.
“Fine take it, I’m not hungry anyway” I said, pushing my tray to him. He grinned and took a forkful of spaghetti. I rolled my eyes as a response.
“Thanks, so what’s up?” he asked between chewing his food. “Jesy, that’s what”, I replied.
“Amber, just say sorry to her. I know you guys had a big fight a few weeks ago but you’re her bestfriend, you two are practically like sisters so-”
I cut him off, “What? What big fight?”. We didn’t have any fight until recently. “You know..” he trailed off. I got impatient, “No, I don’t know”. I scowled at him.
Jesy and I never have fights, well just some petty ones but nothing serious until the fight we had a few hours ago. Jesy is lying to the both of us.
‘But why?’ I thought.
“Conner, don’t you think something is really off with her? The way she’s acting. You should know, you’re her brother, in fact, TWIN brother”, I pointed out.
Conner is Jesy’s twin brother. He’s a few minutes older than her but when they are hanging out, it seems like Jesy’s the older, mature one and Conner’s the whiny one. It’s quite amusing, really.
“Well, she did had a fight with you”, he answered frowning. I huffed in annoyance, “No, idiot! Other than that. And we did not fight, well until today”, I mumbled the last part. “She’s lying to both of us”, I said and started rubbing my tired eyes, all of this is exhausting me.
*****
The entire day went by a blur. I keep trying to talk to Jesy but she kept avoiding me. It was really a gloomy day for me. I know I’ll sound really selfish here, but I have so much to talk about and the only person who listens to my rants is Jesy, but she’s all incognito on me. I have other friends but I’m not really close with them.
The final bell rang at last. Everyone exited in glee even though we have 4 more days to go till its weekend. I took my time to fill my bag with my books and notes. I slumped my bag on my shoulder and exited the classroom. Some people are still in the hallways meeting their groupies. I can’t help but search Jesy in those groupies feeling like she bailed me to make other friends even though it’s stupid. Unfortunately, I can’t find her. I thought about going to her locker again but decided against it.
‘She must went home’ I thought. With a final sigh, I left the building.
Conner kept texting me about a concert he’s going. He continued bragging about the face that he is going to a Blink 182 concert. I was very impressed and scared by the fact that he got tickets and got away with it without getting clawed by the fans. I was about to reply when I heard a voice.
“Please, I beg of you, leave me alone!” the voice cried out.
The voice seemed familiar to me. It was coming from the school’s parking lot. I quickly went there. My eyes went wide when I saw who it was.

A/N: Heyyyy. Itsh le Ivy XD
This is a short story that I’ve been working on for the past few days. I thought about writing the whole story in one part but I love making cliffhangers :3 It won’t be those short stories with a lot of plot twists and stuff. Again, this is a short story. I MEAN SHORT. I missed writing so I had an idea of writing a short but nice story. Next chapter will be out soon.
Thanks for reading!
