Forever and Always

Chapter 3

I couldn’t believe that Skylar was KISSING that snobby cheerleader! My heart just collapsed. It shattered into a million pieces. Why didn’t I just call Skylar before all this had occurred and tell him everything? I was so caught up into thinking what could have happened and made a stupid mistake that ruined my life along with my relationship with Skylar. As thoughts were running through my head, I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t keep my tears in anymore I kept saying to myself. I ran into the school and straight into the girl’s washroom and just burst out crying. I felt like something extremely precious and valuable was taken away from me.

            I take out my phone and text Ev saying, “Ev, you don’t want to know what I just saw Skylar doing! He was kissing that cheerleader that gave me that note! Remember!” I know Ev wasn’t going to be at school today because she had a really bad fever last night. Although I shouldn’t be bothering her, I need to tell someone about this and Ev is the only one that understands me. I can’t even tell my brother because he will beat up Skylar. All of a sudden the bell rang for my first class, but I didn’t want to go because Skylar’s going to be there. I wash my face and rush into class before I get late.

            When I get to my English class I was late, my teacher Mrs. Johnson already started the lesson and says “Scarlet, you are late for class, please see me after school.”

             I walk to my desk mumbling, “great, can’t anything get any worse!?”

            Just when I bend down to get my books from my bag another note lands on my desk. I look up and Skylar is turned around looking at me, so I assume he had given me the note. As, I opened it with my eyes closed hoping it isn’t anything that would hurt me. I opened my eyes and read what the note said, “Scar, you and me are over! I was gonna tell you before school started, but I couldn’t find you. Oh, by the way I’m dating the girl you think is a snobby cheerleader! She is wayyyyyy better than you!” Skylar.

            I was ever more crushed after reading that. First I find him kissing a girl and now he is telling me that I’m nothing compared to her. I just wanted to get up and walk out of the class but I couldn’t, knowing that my teacher would give me detention. I try to go through class without thinking about everything that had happened since school started. After, sitting in class for 60 minutes, the bell finally rang. I instantly got my books put them into my bag, took the note and rushed out of class. Since we had a break I wanted to go to Ev’s house, but I couldn’t because I had to see my teacher after school and I would have to tell my brother to drop me off, so I couldn’t leave for the rest of the day. I guess I’m going to have to get through this terrible and cruel day by myself. However, before I went to hang out with my friends, I left to go to the washroom and let out everything I was trying to hold in since the beginning of class. I felt like someone just stabbed my heart a thousand times.

           A while later, I heard someone open the door, so I quickly wiped away my tears and took out my phone, so it wouldn’t be that obvious that I was crying. When I looked up to see who had come in, it was Skylar’s girlfriend. When she noticed it was me she gave me an evil grin. I ignored her and just walked away. Our break ended and I went to my next class, I really didn’t want to be in school, but I had no choice. I was trying extremely hard to get through the next 5 classes of the day. The day is almost about to end and I was relieved because I can go over to Ev’s house and talk to her about everything and there is one more day left until school ends. Anyways the bell rings and it’s time to go home, but I had to go see Mrs. Johnson. I’m walking down the hall and bump into my brother, just the person I was looking for.

            “Ray, can you wait for me please? I need to go see Mrs. Johnson,” I asked.

            “Sure, why not Scar,” replied Ray.
