Everyone shot out of their seats.I waved over to my best friend,Brianna who joined me while going to my locker.

"Hey!" "Hey."She said.I knew something was wrong,even though she wasn't my best friend.She considered me as her best friend but I had to act like that because of my habit thanks to my mother.She started talking about Dylan her crush and his other jerk friends.Really I had no interest in knowing about those jerks but I kept nodding occasionally to make her know I was interested.

She suddenly stopped talking and started stuttering.She pointed her finger in the direction and I looked to see where she pointed.I saw Dylan coming towards us with that stupid smirk on his face."Hey" he said ,agonizingly slow.I had to shake Bree a.k.a Brianna  to get her back to reality."Earth to Bree" I yelled enough loud to make her flinch.She too replied"Hey" she said  in a soft voice."So umm...I was gonna ask you if.uh..-"

"If what?" she asked

"Umm you know you could come with me to the umm.... prom..It's okay if you don't want to you know?"

"Yeah okay-I  ..I mean I will come..Yeah." she said calmly but inside she was bursting with all emotions.

They started talking about some random topic,which was my cue to leave.I reached the parking lot and unlocked my Camry.When I was about to sit in the car I heard sobbing noises which caused me to bang my head with the car frame.The sobbing stopped.I tried to follow it but it vanished.Even the person who cries knows my nature , that they are ashamed to even let me console them . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I reached my house after five minutes to be greeted in a large dog hug by my labrador Charlie which caused me to stumble a bit backwards.

"So how was our day?"  Steve , the cook asked.The house was too lonely.My mom and dad came only during their breaks , that was once every

three months.

My doorbell rung,and I shot up from the table to answer the door.The pizza delivery guy handed me the pizza . "Thanks" I said  in a way to signal him to leave.But that bloke didn't understand."So are you free?" he asked."No I am not"."Steve !" I called out."Yeah ?" he yelled."C'mere for a moment please?" He came out shirtless.I swear if he would not have been gay I would've had a ginormous crush in him."Wutt?!"he asked."Meet my boyfriend Steve,"I looked towards Steve "So are we free today? " I asked.He got the signal and acted out."No babe but why?" he asked innocently.

I looked at the pizza guy and said sorry that we were not free today and nice to meet him.I know I exaggerated the situation too much but the guy wouldn't leave at all.

It was already evening and was I feeling sleepy .I changed into my nightclothes and settled on the bed.I was occupied with the thoughts of the mysterious sobbing and soon fell asleep.
