Monday

When I got to school, I searched for Eric everywhere.

I finally found him next to the drinking fountain with a group of guys. I pulled him by his arm so we could talk.

I took him under the stairs and started talking.

"Eric, I'm so sorry! I was talking to this guy thinking it was you." I start explaining. "And then I noticed that it wasn't you so I freaked out and said anything"

"I heard what you said « I don't even like an Eric I can assure you that ! » . Why are even trying to make things better? You already ruined everything, like you always do. I should have listened to Chloe, Emma and Betty when they told me one year ago to not trust you! The whole group should have!" He says while looking at me in the eyes.

I couldn't look at him I just looked at the ground.

Then he just left.

He left me there. And I started crying.

Chantel was texting me asking me what happened, I told her to come under the stairs and I explained everything to her.

She said that he didn't have the right to scream at me and that he doesn't deserve me anyway. I really love my best friend!

She made me feel a lot better.

"This test is so hard!" I whispered to Nancy who was sitting next to me.

"I can't think straight right now so I know I'm going to fail!" I continue

"If you want I could tutor you after school because I love math and I understand everything. For now you can just copy my work but don't do the exact same thing or she'll know we cheated" Nancy said with a smile.

"Thank you so much! I would love for you to tutor me!" I whispered back.

She just winked.

When we finished the test the school day was over and me and Nancy agreed to meet daily at the library after school starting tomorrow.

And so we did.

We quickly got along and very soon we became very good friends. She was fun, always had something funny to say, she could draw VERY well not only doodles like draw real stuff. She was awesome.

So I decided to introduce her to Chantel.
My first mistake.
