i woke up this morning, really not wanting to go to school. that was the last thing i wanted to do today, especially after yesterday's humiliating events. as i was sitting on my bed, my phone buzzed from beside me.
sabrina
hey girl, im picking you up today so don't drive to school
my eyebrows evidently pulled together in confusion as to why she'd want to pick me up.
vanessa
um okay?
i decided that it would be a good idea if i did get out of bed, especially since she was picking me up. these past couple of days have been the most peculiar, odd, and emotional i have experienced so far in life. not even kidding.
after getting ready quickly, i examine at my outfit and wonder if this is why tyler cheated. if i just got boring to him. i mean, i worked hard on my body as i enjoy going to the gym, and we would go together. i have confidence and self-love for myself, though i am a pretty plain-jane, repetitive person. whoever the bitch was he fucked, im sure she hardly had any confidence if she did it with a guy who had a girlfriend, a girlfriend that went to the same school as her. it's low of her to do that.
i shove my feelings aside, walking away from the mirror and go downstairs. my brother was sitting at the island on his phone as he sipped on orange juice and ate a granola bar.
"hey" he smiles, looking up from his phone.
he was never this nice. ever.
"hi?" i furrow my eyebrows with a small smile. i rummage through the cupboards trying to figure out what i wanted to eat.
he sighs and set his phone down, "you know that i know, right?"
i roll my eyes and slam the cupboard shut, turning around to meet his eyes, "and why should i care, dylan?"
"because im your brother and i care about you. you haven't answered any of brandon's texts and he's worried about you" dylan states, looking at me with the most seriousness i have ever seen the kid hold.
brandon is our older brother, he's three years older than me. all three of us are coincidentally three years apart.
"i'll text him later" i state, turning my back to him to, again, find food.
"do you want me to avoid him at practice?" dylan asks, loudly slirping on his juice.
with the shrug of my shoulders, i decide on just some fruit since this conversation has made my appetite vanish.
"i don't care, dylan. i mean, you could stay friendly with him if you want."

sitting in my forth class, sabrina sat beside me as she began to almost fall asleep. my phone was sitting on the desk, as i laid my head on my hand.
the screen lit up dimly, jack's name catching my eye.
"who's jack?" sabrina asks, looking down at my phone as it caught the both of our attention.
"the son of the family that came to dinner the other night" i replied, "remember i told you about them?"
she nods and forms a smirk, "is he cute?"
my lips slightly curl into a smile thinking about jack, "why are you asking?"
she raises her eyebrows, "you're single."
my eyes automatically roll as i pick up my phone to see what he had to say.
jack
hey, did you go to school today?
vanessa
yeah why?
jack
i had to drive on your street today and your car was there.
do you need a ride home?
vanessa
you don't have to do that jack
you really don't
jack
so you do?
vanessa
no i do not need one
jack
but you want one? :)
vanessa
when are you going to stop asking me
jack
when you say yes
vanessa
fine but you don't have to, especially if you want to go home. sabrina brought me to school because she wanted to
jack
see you at 3:30 beautiful
i roll my eyes with a smile, locking my phone and placing it back down on my desk. all i wanted was to be out of here, honestly. not because i wanted to see jack, but because i wanted to leave and go home.
what felt like forever later, the bell had finally rung all throughout the school. i get up, sabrina walking with me.
"so when do i get to meet this guy?" sabrina asks, taking my attention away from my phone as i read where jack is located in the parking lot.
i shake my head, "one day."
"one day when you guys are official?" she asks, wiggling her eyebrows.
i shove her shoulder lightly, "him and i are not going to be a thing. i apologize to disappoint you."
she shakes her head, "you will, i'll prove it."
"how in the world are you going to prove that him and i will be together?" i ask, opening my locker and throwing my book in and locking it.
"i have my ways" she smirks, turning on her heel, "bye ness!"
thinking back to yesterday, i thought about the thing that jack had said.
"you'll meet someone or connect with someone who's been right in front of your eyes."
