    I screamed out loud.

   "I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THIS!!!!" I yelled.

   "What?!?" My mom and dad looked worried.

    "I HAVE 115 THOUSAND FOLLOWERS AND THIS TWEET ABOUT ME GOT 10,000 RETWEETS!!!" I jumped up and down, smiling.

   "Oh my goodness! You're famous!" My mom laughed.

   "Wow Mrs. Popular!" My dad seemed impressed.

    "I have to call Ava!" I ran downstairs and into my room and dialed Ava.

   "Hello?" she answered.

   "Ava."

   "Paige."

   "I have 115 thousand followers and a tweet about me got 10 thousand retweets."

    "WHAT? OH MY GOD!!!" She yelled.

   "I KNOW RIGHT!!!"

   "YOU'RE SO FAMOUS."

   I laughed. "It wasn't even my intention!"

   We talked for about 5 minutes. After hanging up with her, I decided to give Jack a call.. if he's not done with me.

   "Hello?" He answered.

   "Hey! Guess what!" I said excitedly.

   "Jaaaack hang up and come back here!" I heard a girl say in the background.

   "Hold on babe." He said to the side of the phone.

   "What?" He finally replied.

   "Who are you with?" I questioned.

   "Layla." He said.

   "Why?" I said, annoyed. My heart was in my stomach.

   "Jaaack. Baby come heeeere!!!" She whined.

   "I gotta go." He hung up.

   I sat there motionless on my bed. I dropped my phone to the ground. The room became blurry as tears filled up into my eyes. I picked up my phone and threw it at the wall as hard as I could. I shut the lights off and went under my covers.

   I couldn't stop crying.

   When I woke up the next morning, my eyes were puffy. I checked my phone. 11am.

    I decided to go on a run to get my mind of things. I put on a T-shirt and exercising shorts with Nike shoes, and put my hair in to a ponytail. I didn't even bother to make my face look decent. I ran upstairs and out the door, not caring where my parents were.

   I jogged past about 7 houses before I saw him. Jack was driving down my street in his Jeep, and he was coming to my house. When he spotted me, he pulled over. I kept jogging, faster this time.

   "PAIGE." He got out of his car.

   I started running as a tear fell from my face. I could hear him running after me. There's no way I can run faster than him, so I stopped. I didn't turn around to look at him.

   "Paige, please." He walked to the front of me.

   "Are you okay?" He looked at me. I probably looked like I got punched in the face.

   I looked up at him, and put both lips inside my mouth, trying not to cry.

   "Can we talk?" He asked.

   I bumped into him as I continued jogging past him.

   "Paige, I know what happened with Cameron." He said.
