olivia

school just ended and I'm walking to my locker to get my stuff. I opened it and put my backpack down.

I grabbed my books and closed my locker. as I turned around, there they were. smiling at each other. everyone was in awe at the sight if them having a good time with each other. but i, on the other hand, was not. I mean that should be me! not her! oh god... I'm jealous. oh well. GO JEALOUSY!!

I rolled my eyes and started walking to the bus. as I go onto the bus, all the seats were taken. great.

"olivia! I saved you this seat." I heard someone say. and of course that someone was grant. I sighed and walked over to him and sat down next to him.

"hi" he said smiling at me

"hey" I dryly responded.

"what's wrong? you haven't talked to me all day." he said

"maybe you've been to busy with your girlfriend to realize that your the one who hasn't said a word to me all day." I spat

thank god we were the first stop

"well maybe you shouldn't have been so un-supportive of your best friend!" he said back

"why would I want to support someone that throws me to the side when he finds someone better" I said harshly looking out the window.

"why are you acting like this? your being selfish! are you jealous or something?" he snapped. as soon as he said that his eyes went wide and he looked like he wanted to take back every word he said.

"wow" I said.

thank god the bus pulled up to our bus stop. I sprinted off the bus to my house. I heard footsteps behind me but I didn't really pay attention to them.

I ran inside and slammed the door. then started crying.I slid my back down on the wall until I was sitting on the floor.

"hey liv! how wa- woah are you ok?" cameron said, rushing to my side.

"no" I said

"what happened" he asked

"grant" I said dryly

"oh my gosh! olivia I know he must've did something wrong but you can't let your emotions towards him control your every move. it's like he's taking up your life. and you need to fix that." cameron said

he was completely right

every emotion I had revolved around grant. I need to let go from him.

"thanks cameron, you always know how to make me feel better." I said giving him a hug

I then heard a knock on the door

"you want me to get it?" cameron asked and I shook my head.

I walked to the door and opened it. I saw grant. I stepped outside then closed the door behind me.

"what" I spat

"olivia I didn't mean all those things I said on the bus. I was just mad. really! please please don't be mad at me I didn't mean for any of it to come out like that. I love you, your my bestfriend and I could never loose you. I didn't mean any of what I said and as soon as I said it I regretted it. you have to believe me." he breathed

"ok. I forgive you." I said

"great. I feel so much better now. wanna hang out" he smiled

"no" I said

"what?" his smile dropped

"I said I would forgive you, not that I would be your friend again"
