Everyone started to rush down the hall. They pointed and laughed, I then knew that they knew about the note on my locker. Why does Sarah always do things to my locker. I didn't care what the others thought, I was going to sit there and cry. By the time almost everyone was out of the halls someone came up to me. I could feel the shadow over me. I knew it was Matt so that's why I looked up and said...
"Matt-"
But it wasn't Matt, it was Sarah. Sarah was the last person I would ever want to see right now. But just my luck today it was her.
"Sorry I'm not Matt. But I have a question."
"What is it? What is so important?", I snapped.
"Wow rude much!"
"Ask the question or don't."
"Were you really so desperate that you dated a teacher?"
I stood up and started to walk away. But of course she shouted after me.
"Lola you're such a slut. You know that right?"
"How about you shut up Sarah.", shouted a voice from the end of the hallway.
I turned and it was Matt. He always shows up at the right time. It's like he has an alarm that signals him that I'm upset.
"Matt! When did you get here?"
"You know what? I'm tired of your cruel jokes that you pull."
"Matt I-"
"Just stop Sarah."
And as that was said he took my hand and walked me outside. He walked me all the way to the picnic tables where he took me that one day for lunch. He sat me down and paces back and forth in front of me.
"So we need a plan to stop her jokes."
"Matt...I'm fine."
"Stop saying that Lola. You're not fine. I'm sick of her jokes. They're going to far. People should have the common since to know that you aren't dating Mr.Henry. It's just so annoying. It's just-"
"Matt. Calm down. I know the truth and so do you."
"Why did they even come up with the idea of this prank. It's sick."
"They probably saw Mr.Henry and I leave the school together."
"Wait...you left the school? Where did you go?"
"He brought me to some karaoke place. One day I stayed after and he heard me sing and he wanted to hear more."
"Sounds...like a date."
"Matt! Stop joking."
"I'm not. Did he pay?"
"Yes. Why?"
"It was a date."
"It wasn't."
"If a guy pays its a date. I can't believe you."
"I didn't go on a date with Mr.Henry!"
"Sure you didn't."
"I'm getting tired of this."
"I'm getting tired of you lying to me."
"I'm not lying. You just don't believe a single word I say."
"I guess that's true. You just use your condition to get out of school to go on dates with teachers. Now that's just flat out sick Lola."
"I can't believe you just said that."
"I said the truth. Your just mad that I know what your plan is."
"I don't like Mr.Henry. You think I like being different? Not being able to understand what the teachers are saying because the students are being to disruptive. It's not fun Matt. Not fun at all."
"Get over yourself Lola."
"I thought we were friends what happened?"
"I'm not friends with lairs Lola. When I met you I thought you were different. I guess I was wrong."
"I don't like Mr.Henry."
"Then who do you like?"
"I don't know Matt."
"I'm done Lola. I'm sorry but I'm done."
And as he said these last words he turned around and walked away. He left me. I had a friend for what...three days. It was fun while it lasted. But I hate to see him go. He made me feel like butterflies were in my stomach. I've never felt this way about anybody. I don't understand what it means. But I do know that the minute he left I felt a tear in my heart. A hot salty tear ran down my cheek. It was followed by a stream of a hot river made of tears. It made me think. Then it hit me. I like Matt. I like the guy that just left me.
. . .
That day I walked home from school crying and thinking. My tears started to dry but then memories came back and the river started to flow again. That day there would be a soccer game. I wanted to explain my feelings to Matt. Now that I got my feeling figured out, maybe he will stay. All I had to do is tell him. That's going to be difficult. So I turned back around and started to walk back toward the school to go see the game. By the time the game was over the score was 3-6. We won. I started to walk up to Matt but I saw Sarah running to him. She ran straight into his arms and kissed him. But that wasn't the worst part. Matt held her tighter and kissed her back. He spotted me and his expectation turned from being happy to being confused. He knew I never go to school sport events.
"Lola!",he screamed.
But I didn't listen nor did I care. I turned around and ran home. The tears came back. They were boiling. I couldn't believe Sarah won. But the thing that bugs me most is that I didn't do anything. What happened today didn't seem like Matt at all. But I didn't care. He hurt me. But for some reason my feelings for Matt are only getting stronger. I know that there is a huge difference between like and love. And I knew for a fact that I no longer liked Matt. I loved him. But that doesn't matter now because he obviously likes Sarah. I mean you don't just kiss someone because they kissed you. I knew that this is a nightmare that I can't run away from, and that's because I'm living it.
