The Neverending Crush

Senior year - Part 2

Towards the mid of our senior year, I found out Jonah had a girlfriend named Pearl, sporty girl (unlike myself) with beautiful legs. I didn't know much about her, accept that she was one year our junior. I had no reason to dislike or 'one can even say, hate' her, but the thought of them together made my stomach twirl like a destructive tornado and my heart bleed as if punchered by a very sharp blade. I felt betrayed, of which I had no right feeling, but I did anyway.

School days became harder and harder to attend.

'Get over yourself and move on, its not the end of civilization' I tried consoling myself.

And I did just that........

                  ***********

It was Friday, finally school's out and it's weekend. It was a long tough day and I was most happy that it was over, besides I was tired of accidently bumping into 'Pearl'. All of a sudden she was everywhere, I think my imagination or probably 'jealousy' got the better of me.

Home**

'Hey mom, is it ok if I go with Matty to watch a football match at school later this afternoon?'
'Sure sweety, I'm going to the market also, enjoy!'

I put on a pair of denim shorts, a comfortable shirt and left with Matty.
While sitting on the bleachers at the soccer field cheering on our favorite team, I was approached by a boy I knew from class, but never associated with.

'Hey Jasmine, I'm not sure if you know me, I'm Cavin, we have a couple of classes together'
'Hi, I know' I replied instantly
'Can I......help you Cavin?'
'Sorry if I'm disturbing you, I just wanted to give you this, (handing me a letter), I heard you would be here today'
'Uhh ok, thank you I suppose'
'Uhm, please let me know what you think after reading it, see yah'

I put the letter in my pocket and continued cheering with my bestie.

'What was that all about' Mathilda asked with a smug look on her face.
'Dunno, I'll probably know after reading I guess, but not now, later curious George!!'

It was a very hot day, after the match finished, our fav team winning ofcourse, we went for ice cream to cool of a little and headed our separate ways home.
Reaching home, mom was busy cooking our dinner for the evening, I offered to help, trying to speed things up, deep down I was very curious as to what the letter contained.

After dinner I quickly cleaned the dishes and excused myself for the evening, 'I'm off mom, if you need anything, I'll be in my room'
'Ok sweety'

I jumped on my bed, remove the letter from my pocket. It was a smallish blue envelope, smelling of male deodarant. I opened it and started reading.

Dearest Jasmine❣
