MY SO-CALLED LIFE [SLOWLY BEING EDITED]

CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER 6

The whole day I could not concentrate in most of my classes. I've been thinking on who could it be that left me that note. Originally, I thought it was Brandon but clearly it was not him. He's the only one I could think of since he's the only one that knows where I live.

The bell rang cutting me from my train of thought.

Ok this is it. I grabbed all my stuff and made my way towards the football field. As I approached the field I noticed one thing, a person standing in the middle of the field. James.

See, James is Mark's best friend. They've known each other for a very long time. His one of the most loyal friend of Mark. If Mark jumps on the bridge, chances are he would too.

He must've heard me coming because he looked over his shoulder and turned around.

"James? You're the one that slipped the note inside my locker?" I asked him

"Why of course I did."

"But why? How?"

"I have a proposition for you." he said completely ignoring my question.

I started getting uncomfortable, scared and nervous at the same time. I'm sure this can't be good.

"What is it?" I asked

"You see, incase you don't know Brandon and I go way back. I knew him from my sister. She used to date him. They dated for a while, she ended up getting pregnant and that ass hole dump her. Abandoned her and the baby.Wanting for her to get an abortion"

"Oh!" was all I said.

I can't believe it, Brandon? I didn't picture him as the type of guy.

"Yah oh! So, here's the deal. I want you to make Brandon fall in love with you and when he says the three magical word to you. I want you to dump him."

"Why me? And what secret are you talking about?" I lied.

"Really? You're going to try and play dumb with me now? So you mean to tell me, your dad didn't beat the shit out of you yesterday? After Brandon dropped you off at home?"

I froze. I tensed up, I honestly have no idea how he could have found out.

"Uhm...H-h-how did you know?" I asked

"Plain and simple, after school yesterday I followed you two. I've known you for a long time Angela. I may not personally know you but I know that you just don't simply talk to anyone. And him dropping you off yesterday seemed kinda off. After he left, I was about to drive away but I saw you dad grabbed you and shoved you down the floor."

I felt my cheeks wet. I didn't even know I was already crying.

"Please James! I'll do anything, just please don't tell anyone. You don't know how much will complicate things once this comes out in the open." I begged him.

"Don't worry Smith, your secret is safe with me.  Only if you make that deal with me."

As much as I hated to agree with his deal, I had no choice. I'm trapped. I took a deep breath and said.

"Ok deal!"
