I've been here for hours now but to be honest it only feels like 5 minutes. I didn't want to leave. I didn't want to go home. I didn't want to go back to school. I wanted to stay here with my mom.
Why did you have to leave me?
Why mom?
The tears started again and I curled up in a ball in front of my moms' grave.
I remember the days we spent at school, the days at home and the family vacations. I remember me being nervous for school and embarrassed that my mom was the guidance counselor but that was the best thing to happen. We had lunch together she was the only company I needed after Xavier stopped having lunch with me and stopped talking to me. She was my best friend.
London hated me she was jealous of me and Xavier friendship. She was happy when we stopped talking.
She was jealous because the teachers loved me. She said because my mom works here I'm a teachers pet. She also thinks the teachers allow me to cheat so that's why my grades are high. Dumb I know.
She hates me because once she was friends with me or pretended to be my friend then made me do her homework all the time. I was stupid once I refused and she did all kinds of things. She wrote bad things about me in the girls bathroom. She tripped me anytime I was walking past her. She once hid my clothes when I went to P.E class. She poured paint in my hair and the list goes on.
I got tired of this and told my mom instead of hiding it.
She spoke with London the other day and even got the principal involved.
London got after school detention for the whole week. Yeah only that because she was such a good liar. She cried saying how she was just jealous because my grades were high and she tried so hard to get her grades up. She also says how I was pretty, perfect and she was just so jealous.
Blah Blah Blah.
They even wanted me to tutor her, the hell no way. My mom told me to do it. But of course London never came to me for help.

It was 6:30 when I arrived home. The drive home was quiet and when I parked my car, I just sat there. I finally decided to come out. Then I heard someone whistling cheerfully. I looked over to the Blakes'. It was Xavier taking out the trash. He was so cute. London doesn't deserve him neither do I. His hair was messy and he was in a white shirt. I just wanna run my fingers through his soft hair.
Do you not remember how he left you?
Was he there for you when your mom died?
Was he there for you when you were getting bullied?
Wasn't he your bestfriend ?
I was in love with him and I think I still am. I should get rid of these feelings he's not worth it. He wasn't there for me when I needed him. He never was there for me. Now I was angry at him and I also wanted to cry all over again. I turned and jogged to my front door. I turned the knob and then.
"Yasmin"
