Highschool Worries

The First Day

I ran home. Crying. I refused a ride. The park wasn't too far from my house only about a quarter block. But by the time we left it was growing dark. The cold wind rushed up against my frozen face. I had only a T-Shirt on and bare blue faded jeans. This night was horrible. But I had to do what had to be done. It was over. Right.? ? There couldn't possibly be a way he was innocent. No Nicole. No Nicole. No Nicole. It wasn't possible. It was completely and totally impossible. He admitted it as he said he was sorry. He really wasn't.

I ran the door with a shatter and a crash. My mom turned. Horrified.

"Nicole what's wrong.? ?" as she came running to my side.

My mom and I have always had a good relationship. We've always gotten along really well. We love each other very much.

"No I'm fine. Jake and I broke up. Ya know now."

"Oh hunny I'm so sorry. What'd he do.? ? I'll punch his face in." she said jokingly.

"Nothing Mom. Just Everything. Wasn't Right."

I didn't want to tell her about the breakup. Our mom's are very close and I didn't want to break that apart.

"Oh okay well go on up to your room and clean yourself up and we'll talk."

Nah

"Nah Mom I Think I Just Want To Be Alone Right Now."

She opens up her mouth to protest but soon shuts it. She knows how much this boy meant to me. I just put my hand up in defeat and walked off.

I didn't want to think about highschool the next day. The questions. The horror. The looks. I mean everyone's going to want to know. I mean he was up in the front of the school for goodness sakes. It's embarrassing. But I realized I'll just be honest. And with that I drifted off to sleep. With my drowsily bed. And my horrid thoughts. About the next school day.

~The next day

I awoke with a clatter. My mom was baking. Again. I got dressed and slipped on my royal blue sandals, white shorts, a royal blue tank, and some simple earrings. I was excited. Until I remembered. I was hit. With a pang of relief, yet sadness ya know.? ? I arrived at school. And it was normal. Until I walked through the gates. It was sad. All I remembered was him picking me up here. And kissing me there. And the stares. Oh the stares. Everyone knew soon. Questions flooded my mind like

"Why So Soon" "So What Happened" "Are You Okay"

I was fine. I really was. I think so. I don't know. I could never tell these days.

Then

I saw him. His bloodshot eyes and sniffling nose. His awkward posture. It wasn't the Jake I remember. It was the Jake I never knew. Or wanted to know even.

Cliffhanger.

Amazing right.? ? (; I had to though. It was important. In the next chapter it'll all unfold. The lies, the drama, stay tuned. Xoxo
