Is it true what they say about the cheater never winning?

Not just a boring Monday morning

It was Monday morning the whole night I had trouble sleeping as I was so nervous about how it will be when I get to school. Will people even notice I have changed? Or will they just pity me because hay think i'm the shy girl that Brad dumped. This morning I put on eyeliner, mascara and tinted pink lip gloss. My clothing was no longer whatever I actually put thought into it and put on a girly purple top and skinny jeans.

I walked to school with Jennifer who yelled " Girl you look hot with a capital H if I were a guy I would totally drool over you Brad is so going to regret letting you go for that piece of trash Melissa!" That was when I remembered I would have to face Melissa and I will have to act like everything is fine and I'm happy for her and Brad. The thought of her and Brad was enough to make me cry like a baby but then after seeing my frown Jennifer told me "Brad will probably dump that piece of trash and beg for your forgiveness as soon as he sees you!" That brought a huge smile on my face and Jen grinned to.

Once we got to school I got a few of wolf whistles and a few winks. This made me more confident to face Brad and Melissa. People actually are noticing me now. If I had showed a little more confidence before and maybe dressed differently this is what it would have been like I thought to myself.

This one guy Charlie ,who had brown hair and chocolate colour eyes, flashed me a smirk and asked me "Did you and Brad brake-up" and I replied "yep" popping out he p. This turned his smirk into a huge grin which confused me so I asked "why are you so happy about that". He said "Are you that naïve?" I made a confused face which told him I had no idea what he as taking about and "He said we have been friends for quite a while but not close right." I nodded and said "what's your point?"

He said "Your every guys dream girl your beautiful, smart, not stuck up, funny, sweet, caring, adorable the list is endless but every guy is too scared of rejection from you so they either settle for someone else and try to get your attention ,or befriend you so you get to know them and maybe start liking them but they don't want to become best friends or close friends with you in case they get into the friend zone and you think of them as a brother!"

This was overwhelming although it would be nice to know lots of guy actually do crush on you but its a bit unbelievable so I said "really?" in a really unconvinced tone this made him laugh "Yep. How have you not noticed before? Do you remember on the first day of school when I kept stuttering when I talked to you?"

I replied "Yes. That was cute." I blushed from embarrassment realising I called him cute.

He smiled and said "no what is cute is when you blush like you did when you realised you called me cute." The fact that he noticed only made me blush harder. He said "anyway since that first day I met you I wanted to ask you out but I kept stuttering because I was so nervous so I became your friend and thought if you began to like me and I knew then I could ask you out and knowing you like me I won't be nervous. Eventually after a year I plucked up the courage and thought it's worth a shot maybe she will say yes because other girls seem to like me maybe you will. However you told me you were dating Brad one day in English class so I knew you were with someone so I want to ask you something. Alexis Jeffery will you go on a date with me?" I froze.

Now I realize why he was saying those things and was happy about the break-up I really am naïve. Do I want to say yes? I did used to have a crush on Charlie after all he is handsome, funny, kind and really awesome. The only reason I never hinted how I felt was because after crushing on Charlie for a while I became friends with Brad and he and I began dating. I must have been thinking for ages, as Charlie snapped me out of thought by calling my name. He looked worried I realised I haven't given an answer as I was about to he said " if you don't want to we can stick to being friends" I said "No I'd love to." The bell rang for school so I said "I will see you at lunch bye."

In second lesson my friend Anisha -who was petite, had lovely long hair and brown eyes - passed me a note. The note said ' hey I heard what happened with you Brad and Melisa (the whore) and I know everyone says don't be sad you can do better but I'm not even saying this to make you feel better I'm saying this because its true you really can do better than Brad and don't even waste a tear over him because he does not deserve it' .

This made me smile and I sent a note to Anisha saying 'don't worry I'm over it' Then she smiled at me and I remembered how Melisa always used to tell me not to trust Anisha as she was supposedly a b****. I made a mental note to find out about their past as I knew from some of the other kids they were best friends before secondary school then after one summer break they hated one another. Melissa must have done something because Anisha has always been so sweet and kind so I doubt she would have done anything I always wanted Anisha to join mine and Melissa's friendship group but Melissa hated the idea and would get annoyed when I asked why so I never found out why or asked Anisha why in case Melissa had a hissy fit. That reminded me I have to be nice to Melissa to annoy her with the fact I have moved on.

At lunch straight away I searched for Anisha. When I found her I instantly asked "What happened between you and Melissa?" She sighed and replied " I wondered when you would ask"

Anisha pulled me aside into a classroom and said "it happened the summer before highschool started."
