It was ninth period, and was Valentine's day. "Today's the day, Today is the day you'll finally ask your best friend Alex out..." I thought to myself while trying to calm myself down. My leg even started to shake vigorously, I tried to use a breathing technique (still didn't help). Then the announcements came on. I cant believe I got scared by a stupid ding. "Teachers, you may now pass out the valentine grams." said the vice principal. That was all they really said, other than that" to have a great weekends" and all that stupid bull shit. I was hoping that Alex got me one I wasn't surprised that she didn't, but that didn't really matter to me. Then the bell rang I was so nervous that I practically tripped over nothing. I Was the first person to get to my locker, I did see Alex on the way there, she looked so cute. Anyway I looked down the hallway, and saw her talking to her best friend Skylar. But I just went on with my day. A rose fell our of my backpack and I remembered that I was going to give it to Alex when I asked her out. I then coughs up to them, and said in a nervous tone "Hey Alex, can I talk to you please." I held the rose behind my back. "Greyson, not now I'm talking to Sky." Replied Alex. I took a deep breath and said "Alex wia-". "GREYSON, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. Just... Go away" yelled Alex. I was shocked for what Alex had just told me. " I-I'm sorry I just-" I said in a quivering tone. "Greyson. Please. Go away" said Alex as she almost cried. I then drop the rose and walked away as I pulled up my hood. I decided to walk home rather than taking the bus. All I could think about was what Alex had said to me, ad how much it hurt. To hear that on the day that I wanted to just say a simple question. When I got home I went straight to my room rather than saying hi to my foster parents. I go to my room. I started to cry. It was the first time ever, that I've been hurt. I decided to listen to The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars (because I always listen to it whenever I have a bad day). I then start to actually listen to the lyrics while also thinking of what just happened at school.
