Broken Girl

05

*Samantha*

I wake up and groan.
I had fallen asleep still sitting on the floor, and now my neck and back hurt.
I stand up and walk into my room.
My phone on my nightstand buzzes and I pick it up.
2 messages.
From: 8125644731

I don't know who it is.

I open the messages.

8125644731: Is this Samantha?
8125644731: Hello?
Me: Uh. Yeah. Who is this?

They respond almost instantly.
8125644731: Molly. Jaylynn's friend.
Me: um. Ok. Can I help you?
8125644731: do you have the social studies notes we took yesterday?
Me: yeah....
8125644731: What's the first blank?
Me: The Nile river
8125644731: Thanks
Me: yeah.

Ok. That was weird. I shake my head. Whatever.
I go to my closet and pull out a black long sleeved shirt and a pair of dark jeans.
Once I'm dressed, I apply a layer of eyeliner, mascara, and some black eye shadow.

I pull my brown hair up into a pony tail and grab my backpack.

Off to school I go.

*Jaylynn's POV*
"Did you get it?" I ask Molly.
"Yes I got her number for you." She rolls her eyes.
I smile at her. "Thank yyyyoouu."
She rolls her eyes again and walks away.
God I was excited.
I had Samantha's number.
Not that it mattered.
She probably hates me.
And then my heart lands at my feet as I realize she hates me; Probably because me and my friends bully her.
And the realization hits that I dont have a chance with her. She hates me.
I don't even know if she's lesbian.
What the fuck was I thinking?
I sigh and sit down on one of the benches.

The crowd of my classmates passes by my in a blur, their yells and hollers and conversations just background noise.

And then I decide to skip school.
I don't do it a lot.
So it's not like it really matters.

I make sure nobody's around to watch me leave, and then I get in my car and drive away.

I pull into the Starbucks parking lot and smile.

Starbucks.

Yasss.

I unbuckle my seat belt and get out of the car.

At the counter, I don't even have to think about what I want.

I order a Caramel Cocoa Cluster Frappuccino and smile.

Once I get my drink I sit down at one of the tables and pull out my phone.

I'll be here for a while.

2 hours later

Once Starbucks starts to get crowded, I gather the few things I brought in with me and get ready to leave. I throw my cup away, and dig my keys out of my pocket.

I put my phone in my pocket and turn to leave.

As I'm about to walk out the door I bump into someone.

"O-Oh I'm sorry," The girl says.

"No" I start, "No its fine."

Samantha.

Oh my god.

She looks up at me and her eyes widen, and then she blushes and looks back down at the floor.

"I like your shirt," I tell her.

She looks up at me again. "T-Thanks."

I smile at her. "You're welcome."

"I-I like your sweater," She stutters.

My smile widens. "Thank you."

She nods.

I notice the books in her hand and ask her what they are.

Her eyes light up and she smiles.

"The whole Harry Potter series," She says.

"Will you tell me about them?" I ask her.

She hesitates before nodding.

We sit at a small table in the corner, and she explains to me about Harry and Lord Voldermort and other things in the books.

She's smiling the whole time and I can see she loves books.

When it's around 4:30, she stands up to leave.

"I uh, I have to go," She says.

"Ok. I'll see you later Samantha," I say.

She nods and turns to leave.

But then she turns back around to face me.

"Hey uh, Jaylynn?" She says.

"Yeah?"

"C-Can I have your number?"

I smile.

"Yes."
