We Are Alright

Chapter 7:

I really did not want to get ready for school. Everyone is going to still bug me about what happened. This is just great...

Theresa of course made me get up and get ready and so I did.

"Hey Anthony wants to talk to you." Gabi said running up to me once I got to school and past everyone teasing me about yesterday.

"Well hello to you to. Haha where is he?" I asked.

"Oh yeah. I don't know. He just said he wanted to talk to you. Guess I should've figured that out before I told you...oops."

"Wow Gabi. Whatever it's probably not important anyway."

"Well, maybe. I don't know. Hey do you want a cookie?" Gabi said pulling out a bag of cookies.

"What-where did those come from?"

"From my kitchen. Are you going to take one or not!" She said forcing me to eat one.

"Okay then. You are so weird, Gabi, you know that right?"

"It has been mentioned." She said taking a cookie for herself. We ate our cookies in silence. They were actually pretty good. The cookies were chocolate chip and that's my favorite, well probably a lot of people's favorite. I love cookies. And unicorns. Wow I'm as random and weird as Gabi.

Once we had like 3 cookies Anthony walked over to us and grabbed Gabi and talked to her aside from me so I couldn't hear. He didn't even look at me. What did I do?

Gabi comes back to me but Anthony stays where he is. Still not looking at me.

"Hey Jess, well Anthony still wants to talk to you. He is um right there." She said awkwardly.

"Yes Gabi. I see that he is there." I said. I got up and walked over to Anthony. I walked right in front of him but still he forced himself not to look at me. I feel so hated right now. He seems so bad but I didn't do anything to him.

"Hey Anthony." I said though the awkward silence.

"Sorry." He said, still not looking at me.

"Sorry? Sorry for what?" What in the world could he be sorry for? Oh I don't know ignoring me when I need his help to get through all of that people are saying.

"Sorry for what happened yesterday with Jake. I know it hurt you." He said looking at his feet.

"It's okay I guess but yes it did hurt. Especially since you didn't help me..." I said mumbling.

"I'm sorry it's just that. Well. Nvm. I didn't know you liked jake, though."

"I liked him for awhile-wait what were you going to say? Please tell me."

"It's nothing."

"No, please."

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does. Tell me." I said. It was quite for a couple seconds and then he finally looked up at me with his huge brown eyes.

"I like you Jessica. I mean I like like you. You are amazing and such a great friend. It's just that I got jealous and let my emotions effect our friendship." He said not taking his eyes off of me now.

"Oh Anthony I am so sorry." I said chocking on my words. I never knew. I feel so bad now.

"It's fine. We should get ready for class." He said when the teacher told us to take our seats.

I sat at my desk staring at the picture of the eye. I couldn't tell if it looked sad or happy. Usually you can tell the persons emotion if you look closely in the eye. But I couldn't tell what this eye was feeling. Just like how I am right now. I don't know if I am sad or happy or what. My emotions are all around the place and won't get together. It's not a fun feeling because I want to cry yet laugh.
