Jane

chapter 5

The day is finally over and I head to my locker to take my books before I go watch Dan train in the basket ball court. Yes, he is a basket baller, one of the best in our school. So far the day has been pretty good since I haven't bumped into Nathan. Thank goodness we only have one class together. Okay, maybe I concluded that the day had been good too early. You see there's an empty locker next to mine and apparently, they gave it to Nathan. So as soon as I close my locker I am met by a tall figure standing right in front of me.

I want to walk past him but he holds my hand and pulls me back. Oh God!  Electricity rushes through me by the touch of his masculine arm. Why is he doing this to me?
"Jane ,we need to talk," he says and I feel the familiarity of his wonderful deep voice .
"We have nothing to talk about, Nathan. Now if you don't mind I have somewhere to go,"I answer sounding much stronger than I expected .

"You can't keep avoiding me like this, we are in the same school now and whether you like it or not we are going to meet, somehow," he says sounding kinda sad. But I don't want to listen to him. He made himself very clear last time I remember.

Jane, i was not serious,it was just a little dare... I hope I didnt hurt you
Those words echo in my mind. The nerve of him to want to talk to me again.

"I haven't been avoiding you," I lie.
"I saw you in chemistry, you were clearly hiding from me," he says.

"It doesn't matter, Nathan. Whether I was hiding or not, you and I have nothing to talk about. It was just a game wasn't it?" My vision is becoming a little blurred but I don't want him to see me cry. I wipe off the tear that to my dismay fell down my cheeks and walk away.

He was looking at me the whole time, nothing to say clearly. Maybe I should have given him a chance? No! I deserve better than him. I feel his eyes on me as I walk out towards the parking lot.

I get into my black convertible and let it all out. I cry so hard, memories of my first, and last heartbreak flood my mind. There is no way on earth I will ever let a guy hurt me again. Nathan was just too much.

I decide against going to watch Dan practice. I just wanted to go home and think.I wipe my tears and drive home. It was only a five minute drive so I was home soon enough.

When I get home no one's in the house and I thank God for that. I head to the fridge and take a large bowl of vanilla ice cream. I go lock myself in my room and stuff myself with the ice cream. I always feel better after a nice bowl of ice cream.
