Never Let Go ~ Joshifer

Chapter 3 ~ Trouble

CHAPTER 3
Jen's P.O.V.

Without meaning to my steady walk has turned into a little skip. I don't know how I feel about my conversation with Josh.

All I know is that I have a feeling I'll do just fine here.

As I reach for the bathroom door I am interrupted by a stampede of girls who knock me off my feet. A set of hands grab me and then another, I struggle for an escape root. As they pull on my clothes I hear a little rip and then someone curse under their breath.

They shove me in the door until it opens and then they push me to the bathroom floor. Bruised and aching my lungs scream for air.

I hear an angry voice demand,
"What the hell was that!!!"

All of a sudden this is all to familiar, the pushing and yelling and swearing. No! This can't be happening again! My last thought about how great this school is going to be is now shattered on the ground, just like me.

Me eyes come into focus and I see a tall blonde girl with too much mascara which is now running down her cheeks. Her eyes are bloodshot and filled with tears, for a fraction of time I feel sorry for her. But it didn't last long enough for my face to show it.

"I saw everything!! He is in love with me!!" She screeches at the top of her lungs.

What is she talking about? I don't like anyone! I think to myself.

"Don't give me that! You know exactly who I'm talking about!" I never knew eyes were capable of throwing knives. "Josh is mine, so back up!!!" She spits out the words like they are poison.

It never occurred to me that it looked like there is something was going on between Josh and I.

"Josh was only helping me with my books." I mutter, unsure if anyone can hear me.

"What was that??" She says with an arched eyebrow.

"I just said, Josh was only helping me with my books, I don't like him and he doesn't like me!"

I think.

She takes a step forward stepping on my foot bending it backward. I hold the scream between my gritted teeth.

"Watch yourself!" Were her last words to me, she stalks out the door with two girls behind her.

I sit in silence until the home bell brakes the stillness in the air.

A girl with a pair of glasses wedged on the end if her nose and a black fringe thats falls over her eyebrows walks in only to find me here.

"Oh my gosh! Are you ok?" I almost didn't catch what she said, her voice races as she speaks. She comes towards me slowly like I am an endangered species. I nod and try to smile, it obviously comes out strained because she does look convinced.

"Let me help you, I'm Jena by the way, what's your name?" She gently helps me to my feet and pulls out some makeup to help cover my busies and scratches.

"I'm Jen." She gives me a small smile and a look that says, what happened?

"A girl and her friends thought I was trying to steal her boyfriend." I say and roll me eyes. I just realised I don't even know the girls name.

"Sounds like Leven, her relationship never work. Is she tall and blonde with caked make up?" Jena says.

"Yeah, thank you for helping me Jena!" I answer.

"Wait, your shirt is ripped. And can I ask who Leven was claiming to be with." Thank God she told me about my shirt! I quickly put me jumper on to cover the rip.

I think of Josh's smiling face and wonder why he is dating such a snob.

"Josh. He just helped me with my books and helped me find the bathroom." I reply, adjusting my jumper.

"Well, see you around Jen!" The smiling Jena says. I smile back and wave.

I wonder why see cares about that kind of gossipy stuff. I start to head home after redoing my hair.

A slip of paper falls out if one of my books, I pick it up and look at it. Josh! you little sneak, I think smiling. His phone number is on the piece of paper and it says,

Give me a call if you need any help :) -Josh
