"Please just give me until Wednesday at least!" I begged Trevor,but he wasn't having it.
"I gave you a whole extra week. Either you tell him today,or I will." I stared at him for the longest.
"What made you like this?" I said,my eyes tearing up. He looked at me a second,then wiped my tears,but I snatched my face back.
"Don't touch me."
He looked down. "I-I'm sorry." He scrunched his eyebrows as if he were confused.
"I shouldn't be blaming you for this. You're right." He chuckled a bit.
I looked at him like he was crazy,due to the fact that he's just changed moods that fast.
"You go be happy with Jacob. I just want the best for you." He looked down like what he'd just said had hurt him deeply.
I grabbed his hand. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry I put you through all of this." I said,truly.
He looked at me,then smiled a little. "Yea,I'll be fine. Just say that we can be friends. It would kill me if not." His voice cracked a little,and I instantly felt sorry.
"You're right,Trevor." I said,sighing.
"What do you mean?"
"It's my fault all of this happened,so I need to step up to the plate and take the blame for it. I'll text you later." I said,standing up. He stood up and gave me a hug,kissing me on the forehead. It felt comforting somehow.
I left and got in the car,driving back to the house. My heart was nearly beating out of my chest,but I had to do this. I cant live with a guilty conscience.
When I went into the house,Jacob was sitting on the couch eating popcorn,flipping through the channels on tv. He looked up at me and his face lit up,making my heart break even more,knowing that his would be crushed any minute.
"Hey babe. Our favorite movie is on,look." He smiled,pointing to the screen,and "White Chicks" was on. I smiled a bit then sat beside him,taking the remote and turning the tv off.
"What? You dont like the movie anymore?"
"Jake we need to talk." I said,holding back tears best I could.
He saw how serious I was,then he put the popcorn down,facing me.
"What's wrong?"
"I..." I choked on my words,and he grabbed my hand,urging me on.
"I don't deserve you." I said,and he put on a confused face.
"What are you talking-"
"I cheated on you."
The room got quiet for the longest,then he let go of my hand and sat back on the couch. He thought to himself for a long minute.
"Who is he?" He asked.
"His name is Trevor.."
"How many times have you cheated?" He said,clearly mad.
"Couple months..." I said quietly.
He stood up,storming out of the room,and there was nothing I could do to stop him. I stood up,running after him,then he walked in our room and slammed the door.
I knocked. "Jacob please open it. Please." I said,tears streaming down my face. He didn't respond,and I just sunk down to the floor,running my hands through my hair.
I fucked up. And there's no turning back.

The next Monday at lunch,I looked around Craig for a bit until I could find him,sitting with his new "crew". I sighed,then walked up to him,meaning to apologize about how I snapped on him the other night.
We haven't talked to each other since then,and I was starting to feel bad for what I did. I had bought him his favorite candy ,Twix,just to make it up to him.
I walked over to where he was sitting,and him and the boys were talking lowly,but when they noticed me sit down,they got quiet.
"Hey guys." I said,smiling. They all gave me funny looks,so I just shrugged,turning to Craig.
"Hey. I got something for you." I said,placing the Twix in his hand. He looked up at me.
"What is she,nigga? Yo momma? Baby I got something for you." A dark skinned boy said,mocking my voice,then making kiss noises.
"Yea. Penny,you can give it to someone else. I don't want it." Craig said,and I raised my eyebrows,then slumped my shoulders.
"Look,can you come back another time? We're discussing important business." He said.
"Are you sure you dont want this?"
"Craig,you aint got yo bitch in check? I wish one of mine would talk back." A boy with some dreads said,frowning a bit.
"Yea,Penny. I SAID leave. Now. I got business to take care of."
I raised my eyebrows,then got up,throwing the Twix in the boy with dreads' face. He jumped back,then started waving his finger.
"She something else. It don't take much to break em though." He said,winking a bit.
I walked off disgusted,then stormed out of the lunch room. I decided to just go to my locker and get my books a little earlier,and just sit in the class until it started.
"Woah,slow down. Did the locker rob you or something?" I heard a familiar voice say,and I turned around to see EJ. He chuckled a bit at how I had slammed the locker.
"Sorry." I said,chuckling.
"No need to say sorry to me. I think you owe him an apology." He said,pointing to the locker.
I chuckled. "Sorry locker." I said,and EJ smiled.
"What's wrong with you anyways? You seem upset." He said,walking beside me as I walked to my classroom.
"YOUR friend Craig got a lot of balls talking to me like I'm some kind of dog. He let his little thug friends just encourage him to do that! And he did it! Can you believe it!" I said,frowning.
"Yea,I dont too much like that crowd. Why does he hang with them anyway?" He asked.
"Long story." I said. "But can you believe he was so rude as to turn down his favorite candy cause it made it seem like I was babying him?!" I asked,and EJ chuckled.
"You bought him candy?" He laughed.
"What's wrong with candy?" I asked defensively.
"Eh. Nothing. I've just seen it the other way around,is all. You know,the boy usually gives the girl candy. But there's nothing wrong with what you did." He said,and I mugged him.
He chuckled. "Well,if I was Craig right about now,and I'd fucked up like that,I would be showering you in apologies and all kinds of gifts." He said,smiling.
"Yea,that would be nice. He needs to be more like you," I said,not realizing what I'd said until it slipped from my mouth.
"I-i mean still Craig. Just your personality. No. I mean,I love Craig,and-"
"Its fine,I know what you mean." He chuckled,then pulled out a bracelet that was purple with fake white diamonds on it. It was really cute.
"I found this in the courtyard,and I was gonna take it to the lost and found,but you need it to brighten your day,so here." He said,placing it in my hand. I smiled.
"Thanks EJ. You're a really good friend." I gave him a quick hug,then we said our goodbyes,and I walked into my classroom.
I smiled at the bracelet,playing with it a bit. Yea. Craig definitely needs to be more like him.
