Before I start to the present time. I'll introduce the backstory.
5 years ago, In (Gr6) Elementary School Riley and Jamal met and we're great friends.
2 years later(Gr8) they started "friendship" dating relationship.
Another 2 years(Gr10 + March) later they started having heated arguments but managed to stay together and work things out.
2 Months (Still Gr10 + May) Later Is Now The Present:
Jamal has been treating Riley really badly and this time Riley thinks she's had enough they've been fighting and work things out for 2 years out of 4 years of a relationship. Literally half of it was spent fighting and loving again. So Riley did something about it, At the school lockers during class they both ditched class just for this.
Riley POV:
Jamal: There better be a good reason for me to ditch class because of this!
Me and Jamal would never skip class but I sacrificed so that no one would see us since I guess no one knows we're in a "relationship" since we're always fighting and if we talk about this in front of them well let's just say that's a bad idea because well he's one of the most popular boys here and honestly that annoys me even if he says I'll stay loyal when I meet him in Gr6 he wasn't like this why now!
Riley: Being with me is not a good enough reason? *crossing my arms*
Jamal: That's not what I meant
Riley: F-fine!
I always stutter around him, because even if we knew each other for 5ish years straight Gr 6 to Gr10 Im still really shy and awkward with everyone honestly I can't talk to anyone I don't know why he loves me either if I can't even talk straight most times.
Jamal: So what?
Riley: J-Jamal I want to t-talk about our relationship...
Jamal looked at me confused
Jamal: What relationship?
And I was just crying inside what the hell does he mean?!? Don't we act like we're together or was that a lie or was I just thinking this whole time that we we're together even if we weren't and I JUST LOVED HIM WITH MY WHOLE HEART FOR NOTHING!
Riley: U-us?
Jamal: Riley we're not together?
Riley: What do you mean?
I felt a little more confident now because I was on the verge of crying but then again I've never cried since My parents almost divorced which was literally Gr5 so....... I predict that this is just a feeling and I won't cry.
Jamal: We're just friends.....
Im trying to be strong here, but he makes my heart weak! Jamal I'm trying to break our connection together and I'm trying to break everything I don't wanna talk to someone who makes me feel weak anymore!
Riley: Jamal im sorry, Im breaking up with you, or I mean I'm not friends with you anymore starting today.....
I felt one tear fall but that was it, I wiped it off.
Jamal: Why?!?
Riley: Remember what happened these past years! Im done! J-Jamal im done......
Jamal: I know, but I thought that we resolved all that....
Riley: LOOK INTO WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK!
I don't know where my confidence is coming from, but Jamal was shocked and didn't seem to pleased Knowing him I probably triggered the bullet to far....
Jamal: FINE THEN! I don't wanna be your friend anyways!
He walked away slowly, I thought he would walk away fast or even run like in dramaa but he was walking normally and I guess kinda slow.
Riley: Wait! That's it I-I thought you liked me!
He turned around and walked back to me.
Jamal: Whatever you think!
Riley: Fine leave I don't care anymore!
Jamal: Your the one that asked im going to class!
Riley: O-okay!
And he left. I decided to stay in the girls bathroom. Then the bell rang last period is over we can go home now. But I forgot my friends Aslay and Pure is in my class which means she'll be mad I didn't come and I walk with them HOME!
I walked out of the girls bathroom and took my stuff and quickly tried to get out of the school. But then I heard,
Pure: Rile where are you going?!?
And then while I still tried walking out both of my hands we're locked, I finally decided to look back and I saw Jamal with random girls already he's popular so not a surprise but I noticed he doesn't keep his distance anymore well it doesn't matter im nothing to Jamal. Then I looked down at my hands and saw Aslay and Pure holding onto both my hands, and since I was stronger I pulled my hands out of theirs, my friends and family (not all my family) are the only people im not awkward with. And Aslay and Precious also another friend I don't really hang out with is Zoey are the only people that know about Me and Jamal no one else well unless Jamal told some people that piece of ****!
Aslay: Ok Sorry!
Pure: Yah! Why didn't you come to class!?
I told them, they do have a right to know anyways.
Riley: I finally cut all ties with Jamal the only times I'll ever talk to him is if my life depends on it!
And Pure and Aslays faces just went from smiley to a frown. I thought they'd be happy don't they think he's annoying?!
No one was speaking between us and we were stuck in place for the last 5 minutes until Pure spoke up,
Pure: Your not gonna regret this?
Aslay: You have a really big crush on him since Gr7 Are you sure you can get over it that easily?
Then I noticed No I can't but I'll try..... And it's gonna be hard too if it took me 2 years to get over one of my best friends before and we only knew each other for 1 Year how long will this take?!?
I looked down,
Riley: No, I can't
Aslay and Pure just nodded and changed the subject. I suddenly started feeling all sad and mad at myself and Jamal I don't know why!
I wanna cry!
