   "Sara you should have heard the things he said to me, it warmed my heart." I sat back in the bus seat blushing.
   "Did you say he brought you flowers?" She asked and I nodded.
   "They were so gorgeous..." I cupped my cheeks.
   "He really changed you." She laughed. "He has you all over him."
   "I cannot wait to see him today. I am so going to give him the biggest kiss ever." I said giggling. "Oh! Look!" I pulled out the picture of us and showed her. She smiled and I flipped it over revealing his note.
   "Aww Skye, how sweet." She read it.

   When I got in the building I looked for Daron. I could not find him. But I did find Andy.
   "Hey!" I tapped his shoulder and he turned. "Where is Daron?" I smiled.
   "....You are smiling?" He said confused. "Are you...not mad?"
   "Why would I be mad Andy? Is he not here today?" I asked confused back.
   "Oh...he is...I don't know." He turned away and I walked off.
   'That was so strange...' I thought to myself.

   When I got to lunch Daron was already sitting. I went up to him and tapped on his shoulder.
   "Hi! Did you come in late today?" I asked smiling and he stood up.
   "Hi Skye!" He said smiling big.
   "So this is Skye." A girl with blonde frizzy hair said.
   "Hi! Who is this?" I said looking at Daron.
   "Daron you madman! She does have no idea!" She laughed.
   "Skye, this is my girlfriend Jenny." He smiled.
   "....Are you on crack? I'm your girlfriend" I said confused.
   "No Skye...you...are my bully." He said placing his pointer finger on my chest and pointing me away.
   "Is this a joke?" I said furrowing my eyebrows.
   "Nope. I completely played you. Impressive?" He asked smiling.
   "WHY THE FUCK?!" I screamed at him.
   "Ohh oh. Why do you care? You want me to 'drop dead' remember?" He laughed.
   "All the things you said to me yesterday!" I took a step back.
   "I needed to make sure you were in love before I stopped." He shrugged.
   "BASTARD!" I yelled and he smiled.
   "But I have a father, Skye..." He smiled and I gasped.
   "You....I..." I looked down shaking my head. "I..." I ran off with tears in my eyes into the bathroom.
   I slid down a wall and covered my eyes sobbing.
   "Skye?" Sara walked in and saw me. "What happened? I saw you run in!" She crouched to me.
   "He tricked me Sara! It was all a dumb revenge trick!" I buried my face in my knees. "He has a girlfriend and everything! They told me in front of the whole cafeteria!"
   "I cannot believe this! Come with me to the office so your mom can come get you." She said sitting by me.
   "I love him so much!" I sobbed on her shoulder. "I was never happy before! He pulled a 'your dad is dead' card too! I am so dumb!" I screamed.
   "You are not! He put way too much effort into this...how could he have acted that well...something must have happened. That girl Jenny just transferred. She must have talked him out of loving you." She said.
   "Do you not understand Sara? He always hated me... I gave him the perfect reason to. I deserve this..." I said tears streaming down.
   After awhile Sara took me to the office and I calmed down. I sat there, still in disbelief. My mom walked me out and we got in the car.
   "How could he do this to you?!" She yelled angrily.
   "I deserve it..." I said looking down.
   "No you do not!" She yelled.
   "He cut himself because of me mom...he hated me..." I said shaking my head.
   "Just because you two were little and dumb? He made you cry in front of half the building!" She said.
   "Just please..." I said sobbing into my hands and she rubbed my back. She began driving and I started to settle down. She turned on the radio and a song by Iron Maiden came on. I slammed it off and sobbed some more.
   "Honeyy." She said with sorrow.
   When we got home I ran to my room. I threw my bookbag on the floor.
   "MOM!" I yelled sobbing and she came in. "I-I cannot be in my room. Please...please let me lay in your room." I cried.
   She led me in her bed and rubbed my hair.
   "Do you want to eat?" She asked and I shook my head no.
   "I am going to call his mother." She said and I started crying.
   "No! I just want it all to end!" I sobbed in the pillow.
   "Why?" She asked.
   "The principal will have us 'make up'" I yelled in the pillow. "I cannot see him!"
   "You go to the same school!" She yelled and I pounded the bed.
   There was a knock on the door and she went downstairs. She came up a few minutes later with Sara.
   "Sara you left school?" I said rubbing my eyes.
   "The principal talked to Daron...there was nothing he could do." She said sitting on the bed. "Daron told the principal he thought it was funny..."
   "...Sara...could you get Skye's work for the rest of the week and stay here with her. She is staying home awhile and I am going to go somewhere." She said.
   "No problem." She smiled and my mom walked out.
   "I loved him...heck...I still love him." I said looking down. "This feels like a nightmare Sara. He is all I ever wanted. It felt like heaven being with him." I shifted and felt something in my pocket.
   I took out the photo of us and tears streamed down my face.
   "Skye..." Sara whispered.
   "I was so happy yesterday." I gripped the photo hard and cried. I put it on the nightstand.
   "Surprised you did not rip it..." She said.
   "I do not want to... I want to be reminded what I deserve." I laid down.
   "Skye stop." She said. "Here." She pulled out a candy and gave it to me. "When we were little we used to get these when we were good. I think you have been doing wonderful." She said and I looked at it.
   "I will eat it later..." I set it down. "He was my first kiss..." I said sitting up.
   "I cannot believe him...awful." She said.
   "All the stuff I told him..." I said.
