I have a crush on the dork

pink is for people in love, and i'm single

"You're breaking up with me?" I shriek. Brandon shrugs, and tries to walk away. I place a manicured hand on his shoulder, tugging his face towards mine. My mouth hits him ear.

" I'll make you regret it." I smile. Brandon gulps, and backs away.

" Ava, I-" He tries, but I cut him off.

" Shush." I quiet him. His eyes turn pleading.

" Please, Ava, dont-" He says. I start to laugh, and walk away quickly.

That night I wipe off my pink nail polish, and paint them black. I mean, pink is for people in love, and i'm single, but not for long.

" HE DID WHAT?" My best friend Monica says.

" Yeah he said I was too much-" I begin, biting my lip. I apply clear polish too my middle finger.

' I cannot even! Girl, you so have to take him down!" Monica says.

My name's not Ava McQueen for nothing. A word I say can make or break your reputation. Take my ex-best friend Ellie. I've known her since 6th grade, and when I found out that she liked my boyfriend, I started a rumour. Lets just say, that rumour has never died. Cat calls trail her daily. My ex-boyfriend Tim cheated on me, so I started a rumour that he was a drug addict. He still gets taunted in the halls. Monica's been my friend since 7th grade, and she has done me no wrong.

That night before bed, I find a picture of two guys kissing. I photoshop Brandon's face on one, and post it to instagram, tagging Brandon. Captioning it: Oops, the cats out of the bag, I laugh. Brandon is known for being all manly, and everyone will be so surprised. It's not that I hate boy and boy or girl and girl relationships, it will just be a big shock to our school. It would be like my dating a nerd.

When I wake up, I power on my phone. 348 likes, and 129 comments await me. I laugh reading them through.

I laugh, sliding into my slippers. While sipping my coffee, I read through the rest of the comments. Some are pretty brutal, but do I feel bad, heck no. I just hope Brandon learns his lesson.

I leave the house, feeling on top of the world. I wait for the bus, when I phone dings. Reaching for it, all of my stuff slip out of my hands. Well there goes my homework. Of course I won't pick it up, the floor is too dirty. Then there's a boy in front of me. He has freckles, brown-blue eyes and straight dirty blonde hair. I've seen him before, and I know that he is a nerd. He tries too hand my stuff too me, but I grimace.

" What?" He mutters. I eyeball him. Shouldn't he know that he can't talk too me?

" Geez, I get it i'm a nerd. You won't talk too me. Fine, be like that." He frowns, shoving my stuff into my hands. He walks away and I stand there confused. What the heck?
