joels pov.

yesterday was savage. why cant we have more days like that ? its Thursday so that means Friday is soon. I put on my school uniform and walk down to the bus stop. yammy and lizzie walk down after me and stand with me. we talk about how much school sucks and how we wish we had more days like yesterday. its good to just be able to talk you know? without worrying about your next class and all. the bus comes and we make our way upstairs and finish our conversation. oli and scott got the bus before us so they kinda save our seats. of course leah and her gang had to sit right infront of us. I would sit across lizzie, oli would sit across from scott and yammy would sit beside scott. then leah would sit in frount of us. sophie and Saoirse would sit across from leah, beside eachother. leah has been trying to make lizzie seem like a bad person but I know shes not. shes so much better than anyone ive ever met. I cant describe the feeling. ever since we started talking 2 years ago, ive liked her. I just don't wanna screw up our friendship. I still cant believe I kissed her yesterday! that's the bravest thing I think ive ever done, I don't wanna lose her. shes perfect. theres no other way to explain her. shes made for me. ive never felt like this for someone. I don't wanna call it love but, is it? "omg no way!" yammy squelled. I was lost. "ew, sorry but I kinda have to say that, she is my sister." lizzie moves anxiously in her seat. "what?" I joined the conversation late. "were you not listening?" scott laughs. "yeah joel! oli finally agreed to date oli!" leah said making her friends chuckle. "omg that's so funny leah! I cant believe how funny you are! omg I cant contain my laughter! sorry I'm one of leahs fake Barbie friends so I have to laugh at everything she says!" yammy puts a fake snobby voice on causing lizzie to laugh uncontrollably. leah gives yammy a sly look and yammy shoots it back at her. not another bus fight. "better watch yourself!" leah looks yammy up and down. "well I would say the same thing to you but you're already doing that 24/7. I'm shooked you're not blind yet!" yammy starts twisting her hair. "ugh I don't have time for you." leah turns back around flicking her hair. "what, too busy looking at yourself?" lizzie shouts down to leah. leah turns and faces lizzie. "I'm sorry but atleast when I look I the mirror I don't have a zombie looking back at me!" leah flicks her hair thinking she won. "well a zombie is better then homophobic bitch, a zombie can actually think 'hey I'm happy with who I am, I don't have to be fake or homophobic because that's not me' so check yourself before you wreck yourself leah" oli got the last word in. leah didn't open her mouth for the rest for the bus ride and we went back to talking.


we finally arrived at school and I make my way to my locker. "so?" I hear yammy say. at first I was unsure if she was talking to me but after she nudged me I was certain. "so what?" I said as I unlocked my locker to get my books. "when are you gonna ask lizzie on a date" she laughed. "d-date?" i almost dropped my books onto the ground. "yeah!" she laughed. i wasn't sure if i wanted to make that move so sudden. it felt right to kiss her, ive known her for two years but a date? "i don't know, leave it with me." i zipped up my bag and went into the lunch hall with yammy. on the way we met kilo so i was third wheeling. i felt someone pull my arm and dragged me down the hall. "what the?" i was very confused. it was a random guy. "want twenty pounds?" he asked. i may not know him but i wasn't turning down that type of money. " sure!" i said. he handed me a twenty pound note. this dude was odd. "now, ask leah on a date." he said calmly. "hell no." i started to walk off. "dude you have too. i gave you twenty pounds." he pulled my jacket. "you can have it back." he declines. "if you don't you pay me 100 pounds. if you do, i pay you 100 pounds." i don't have that type of money. he shook my hand. i didn't even offer it to him. "okay do it now." he walked away. " dude!" i shouted up the corridor at him. when i turned around i bumbed into leah. "oh didn't see yo there!" she flicked her hair. there is no way i can do this. "hey leah?" the words struggle to leave my lips. "yeah?" she smiled. almost as if she kew about the deal. "would you wanna get coffee soon?" her smile gets bigger. "sure when?" she tils her head. oh my what have i done. "eh soon?" i hate myself for doing this. she gives me a peck on he cheek. "call me!" she whispers into my ear. it sends shivers down my spine. ugh leah. i turn around to see lizzie. oh great. don't tell me she seen that. she tucks her hair behind her ear ad walks away looking at the ground. what have i done? i ask myself over and over again. why me? why today? why now? the questions went around and around in my head. haunting my mind. why? what do i do? ugh. i don't think ive ever hated someone so much as leah. wait. he said i have to ask her on a date! but i don't have to go? i didn't give her a day, i just said soon! yes! I'm saved! oh my god I'm saved. Well, kind of. I don't have to date anyone. Maybe I should go to the lunch hall. Or should I text Lizzie? Ugh. I'm so indecisive. One second I'm happy the next I'm sad then I'm angry. No wait that's bipolar. Oops. Wait is it? Stop Joel text Lizzie! What if I mess things up? Well you already did so bravo. Ughhhh. Maybe I should text yammy. But then yammy will be like "why did you do that to Lizzie?" Well I'm sorry I don't have 100 pounds on me. I want to scream. I'm going to just text Lizzie.

J: can we talk about what you just seen?

L: what's there to talk about? I'm happy  your happy, even if it means I'm not.

J: Liz, I don't like Leah. She kissed me! I had to ask her out or pay 100 pounds. I don't have that type of money.

L: don't play dumb ahah, I know you totally willingly asked her out. Lol! Joel, don't lie.

J: I can tell you that the date will never happen. I didn't even tell her when! See. This might be cringe but I only have eyes for you. I taught you knew this by now Lizzie. Love is an understatement. You make me feel so happy. I love seeing you. I love everything about you, I don't think I've ever met someone like you. Can we please just talk?

L: Joel, I don't want you to lie. If you like Leah then go for it. I'm cool with it. You don't have to lie.

J: I'm not lying Lizzie. I'm hurt you would think so. I don't wanna be with anybody else than you. I love you Lizzie. Not Leah, you.

L: you what?

J: yeah? I've swore I've told you that before. Like a year and a half ago?

L: why would you pick me over Leah? She's totally better for you, Your waiting my time. Everyone knows me and Callum have a thing. Everyone but Jess so! Stop waisting my time.

I couldn't even take Lizzie seriously right now, what the hell is up with her? A year and a bit ago I told her how I felt. She told me she wish we lived close so we could date, now she tells me this? What's wrong with her? Is she a player? I can't believe this right now, I walk into the lunch hall and sit down at our table and I don't say a word. Shortly Lizzie rushed in. I can't even look at her. "Has anyone seen my phone?" She starts looking in her pockets and under the table. "Well you had it five minutes ago." I say bluntly. "Oh look who's talking to me, I taught you were too I busy with Leah!" Lizzie snapped back. Before anyone had time to reply I shot up. "I'm sorry I explained myself, I told you everything, I trusted you, I love you and this is how you repay me? By telling me you and Callum have a thing that Jess doesn't know about?and to stop waisting your time? Over the phone? Elizabeth you are one price of work." I threw my worker bottle to the floor. I can't believe I've just said that. Everyone was watching me. I ran out of the lunch hall and ran to my locker.

Lizzies POV

"What was that about?" Scott asked.  Stood there shocked for a few minutes. What was Joel talking about? "Hold up, go back. You have a thing with Callum?" Jess angrily said waving her hands. "What no?" Before I could finish Jess interrupted. "You're cheating on me? What the actual hell?" She poured water on Callum's head and walked out. I was left speechless. Callum looked at me. "What the hell lizzie?" He got up and followed Jess. "I didn't say any of that, Joel's lying I don't even have my phone!" The salty tears began to run down my face and my cheeks went tingly as well as my forehead. This isn't gonna end well
