Jenny POV

The next day after the last bell rang, I ran upstairs to meet up with Garret and Angela. The whole day I had been feeling sick and I just felt nauseous. So I told Garret and he asked me if i wanted to do it ,I had told him that honestly right now I didn't want to. So me and him ran down the stairs through the back stairs since we knew Luke didn't pass by there but as we ran down we saw him pass by with some people. Garret noticed and when we made sure Luke couldn't see me, we ran off to the front of the school. I'm pretty sure he saw us running but I didn't turn around to make sure. When Luke came outside he looked at me and shook his head, I walked towards him and said "Sorry, I just couldn't do it." 

He grabbed my arm and pushed me away. I went to him and was going to give him a kiss on the cheek. "Not now,my mom's already here." I shook my head and said "Just text me." He nodded and walked off. Angela and I went to our Spanish club,while we were messing around in the back, he texted me. I explained everything to him and he understood. He said something to me that had Angela and I freaking out so much,that our teacher noticed. "So what are you up to babe?" I read that and squealed,Angela saw and said "Oh my god!" I texted him back as if that hadn't just freaked me out. After that he called me beautiful and a couple other things that had me freaking out but this time I was with my parents so I couldn't show that much emotion.

From then on, we acted and talked as if we were basically a couple , he even gave me a necklace and said that he didn't care about what happened in the future ,as long as I was there by his side.I guess my feelings for him just got bigger and bigger and I guess I fell so hard into his arms and listened so much to what he said that I kind of forgot it was possible for him to move on and barely look back. But first lets concentrate of the good parts of that year. We held hands in secret ,which made everything much more thrilling. We talked every single day and said "I love you". One day he asked me something that I think I'll never forget. I said that I had to go because it was late and we had school the next day but before I left he asked me "How much do you love me?" I was confused by his question,so i asked him what he meant like on a scale from 1-10 or what. He answered and said yeah so I answered him" From 1-10 ,its a 9/10"I guess he was happy with my answer because he said "Alright not bad,gotta get that last one, night love you" I laughed and just said it back. The next day when I saw him he said "That one doe." I looked at him a bit confused but he raised his eyebrows and I knew. I laughed and shook my head. He hugged me and we walked to our little group.

At the end,that was an inside joke between Luke, Garret ,Angela and I. Things were good between us for a while, I was happy and he seemed pretty happy too. We were never an official couple but we were happy. Then all of a sudden it all crashed down.Like in most stories there has to  be a part where the two main characters fight but then they look for each other and everything is fine. But that's not exactly what happened. Our problem was that he got grounded so we didn't talk anymore and we became a bit distant. We talked in P.E and our classes together but it just wasn't the same.

In about mid-November, I heard something that i didn't think I would dread so much. Someone asked Luke ,who was the person he liked and he said "Maria and 10th grader Kiara." My fork stopped midway while i looked at Angela and opened my eyes wide. She did the same and looked at him but he didn't spare her a glance. I stayed in shock for a couple more second but then recovered before anyone could notice. 

As the month went on I noticed that me and him were just at each others throats all the time, its like we couldn't stand each other.I still liked him but he was such an asshole and i'm so sarcastic ,that I just couldn't stay quiet. We weren't like that all the time but there was a lot of the time that we were, I wasn't happy with it but I couldn't really do anything ,every time I tried talking to him  like we use to he would cut me off or say something rude and I would lash out. 

Around the same time I found out who Kiara was ,turns out I already knew the chick. She happened to be a drama club student and I knew her from the year before because she was a total bitch to me. From the beginning besides the fact that he liked her, I just didn't like her. I tried telling him to move on but as usual, he didn't listen. He got a lot closer to her and drifted away from me and our friends. In December I took a road trip and I barely talked to him,he texted me once for Christmas and we ended up fighting. For our birthday in January, we got into another fight because he lied to me and I got so mad at him. 

Through all of this,I found out that he had asked out Kiara a couple of times but she rejected him every single time. In February things calmed down between us and we were sort of back to our old selves.

March 3

As I was sitting with my sister ,watching the Internship,my phone rings. I check and see that its a message from Luke to call him. I groan but get up anyway. He answers and says "Guess what?' I roll my eyes and answer "What happened?" From the tone of his voice I was guessing it was something good with Kiara, but with him you can never be so sure. "Kiara said yes!" I stared at the mirror with my eyes wide and mouth open.It seemed to me as if everything came crashing down in those three words. "Oh really?That's great! Congrats!" I answered with fake enthusiasm. He spent the rest of the time of how it happened but I wasn't really paying attention. When he said bye and we hung up, I walked towards my room and just sat there , I was still in shock, I didn't actually think she would ever say yes to him. 

My sister came to me." Jen,whats up? Whats wrong?" I look at her and smile,halfheartedly. "Luke and Kiara started dating." She nodded and sat next to me. For a while we just sat there,her hugging me. "I need to stop moping about this, it shouldn't concern me anymore. I'm just his friend nothing else so I just need to stop." I got up,hugged her one last time and left. I grabbed my earphones,keys and walked out my house.Though I knew what i needed to do ,I still had to think. I jogged around my neighborhood for a while and then found the perfect place where I could see the sun setting. 

"I need to put distance between us,to move on completely. That's easier said than done. But I can do it ,it cant be that hard." I thought about it to myself and thought of a plan to help me move on from this. On Monday, I said hi to him and acted as if nothing had affected me. All my friends asked if I was ok and I nodded and said I was fine.

The week continued and the only day that I was actually close to breaking down was the day we had lunch for our Spanish period. Luke took French but we all had lunch together ,even Kiara. This was the first time I actually saw them together after it became official. He didn't sit with us at lunch like he use to do ,and the whole time he was by her side like if he was glued there. He had his arm around her and would kiss her temple. Since they sat in the table right in front of me and I had a perfect view,it was kind of hard to ignore it. There was a point where I just couldn't take it anymore, so i went to the bathroom. 

Angela came to find me and asked if i was ok, i shook my head an said "not really." She nodded and didn't ask anything. I silently thanked her for it and then walked back. When I walked in I saw him look at me with concern,since I had my head down. I looked away,sat down and tried ignoring it while talking to my friends and pretending to have a good time.
