The next day I didn't want to go to school. I was so miserable. My mom came upstairs to wake me up, but all I did was just moan and roll over with my face on my pillow.

"What's wrong? Aren't you gonna see James today?!" She said it as if it was a good thing.

I let out a even bigger moan and started to whimper.

"Ok. What happened?" She asked me. I rolled over and told her.

"Aww it's ok sweetie." She gave a big hug.

"He probably has a good reason I'm sure!" She kissed me on the top of my head.

"C'mon get ready for school." She got up and left. I just moaned again and pulled off the covers.

When I got to school I saw Victoria and started to whimper a bit. She opened her arms and I threw myself on her and started to cry on her shoulder.

"There there honey." She hugged me and I kept on crying trying to not let anyone notice. I pulled back and took out my mirror.

"Oh god my mascara. I got it on you too!" I sniffled.

"I'm sorry!" I said.

"It's alright now we have ten minutes till class, let's go to the restroom get you cleaned up and talk ok?"

"Ok. Let's go." We went to the restroom and I got my makeup fixed again. We talked the whole ten minutes trying to get me to relax and not start to cry when I thought about James or see James. I relaxed and walked out of the bathroom with the fakest smile I have ever worn in my life. I was walking to class when I saw James, my eyes got watery. He started to walk towards me and I ran off trying not to cry. It may be something small, but it really hurt my feelings. I was sad for the rest of the day, and what really disappointed me was when 3rd period with James rolled around. I walked in and just walked past him. He grabbed my hand and slid a paper in it. I didn't pay attention, but I balled up my fist with the paper secure. Before Victoria walks in I decide to read it or see what it was. I unfolded it and it read,

"Dear Katy,

I'm soooo sorry I didn't text you last night I feel horrible. My phone died on my way home and my charger was in my dads truck and he went to the store before I came home and he didn't come back until 9:30. I would have texted you there, but I know you sleep at 9:00 and I didn't want to bother you. I apologize for not texting you! You probably hate me now, but I'm sorry! I hope that date is still on? This Friday? I will pick you up at 6:00? Tell me during lunch." I smiled and mouthed to him from across the room.

"Okay." he smiled back.
