The Next day

I went to Oliver's to do two things clean.
 1) clean 
2) tell him something 
I wanted to clean first so I can tell him and then leave so I wouldn't have be in a weird situation and continue to talk about it.  

Skip the cleaning part

Me: hey Oliver 

Oliver: hey

Me: I wanted to tell you something before I leave

Oliver: go on

Me: ok um you know the day you told me you had feelings for me 

Oliver: oh.. yeah

Me: well I did too and then I went to the park yesterday because I run there all the time and I see you leaning in with someone and I was just wondering if you still felt the same towards me

Oliver: I think I just really wanted to have someone to love me back and for me to have a girlfriend 

Me: so you don't

Oliver: I guess that's what I'm saying

Me: so you're telling me, you only want a girlfriend and so you think you like someone because of that

Oliver: I guess

Me: well... ok..... I'm leaving

Oliver: Cordelia don't take it like that please

Me: no Oliver, I think everyone goes though this stage you're having of just wanting a girlfriend or boyfriend but I didn't have this stage with you

*Walks out, cancels  the other house she has to clean*

I didn't go to the other house, so I stayed out for a little while. I walked to the park and just sat on the swings like it was a hammick. There were other people here but I didn't care. Most of them weren't kids but teenagers. Some were playing basketball, sitting watching, or hanging out with friends. They all went to my school and didn't recognize me or they did but they were just talking about me behind my back. I also didn't care what they were saying if they even were. I bet all they said were like it's so sad she has no friends. Well if you think it's sad, well be my friend then but people don't think of an idea like that when they talk about someone who's alone. 

I was chilling on my hammick swing until I see a basketball coming at me. I fell out off the swings and luckily the ball didn't hit me. 

Unknown: are you ok

Me: define ok

Unknown: that you're not hurt or that you didn't get hit by the ball

Me: I'm ok but my butt isn't 

Unknown: what are you doing here alone

Me: hiding

Unknown: *looks at her weird* seriously

Me: no 

Unknown: those are your friends right 

Me: no I don't really have friends but it's whatever, why did you ask

Unknown: well they were talking about

Me: I bet

Unknown: they go to my school but they seem like they know you

Me: yeah, I guess you and I both go to the same school

Unknown: oh I never seen you around. By the way I'm Dexter

Me: I'm Cordelia, I seen you around school but I never knew your name

Dexter: why haven't you asked

Me: well I was scared,  you're always around people mostly the popular ones who don't like me

Dexter: why

Me: no clue, they just don't plus they never got to know me but I'm glad

Jared: HEY DEX, COME WITH THE BALL

Dexter: OK

Me: well I have to go anyways

Dexter: can I walk you home

Me: I don't want to take you away from your game

Dexter: I don't mind, I probably need to get home too

Me: ok then
