My New You

~Prologue

"I'm breaking up with you," my ex boyfriend, Ethan, said.

"Why?" The tears started to build up in my eyes.

"There's someone else." I immediately hated the girl he liked instead.

What if you were the popular girl? But there was nothing wrong with you? You weren't mean. You didn't believe in revenge, and your boyfriend just broke up with you.

I've loved him for at least 2 years. And he knows that.

The sleeves of my jacket get soaked as i try to wipe away the tears that kept pouring out of my eyes.

"Who is it?" I asked him not looking at him.

"Elle." This only made me more depressed. Elle was the new girl at school. She was that shy type that blushes a lot and it's adorable. Boys are already falling for her. Not that i'm jealous, the only boy that interested me was Ethan.

Why does Ethan like her? Does he like blonds? And girls who can blush easily? Maybe the ones that only wear t-shirts and jeans? My usual outfit were cute and colorful. I didn't wear make up, because Ethan didn't like it. I wore jewelry, but not those long dangling earrings or hoops. Just the studs.

She wore make up, heavy on the eyeliner. Her eyes were these cute brown ones that i just didn't have. I have curly brown hair with brown eyes. Just plain then.

After an awkward moment Ethan slightly lifted his hand as if to say good bye and walked away. Meeting up with Elle.

I let out a sob and some on the people that had been around me gave me a hug or a sympathetic smile. My best friend Chandra was the last to let go and looked at me ith her big green eyes.

"I'm so sorry Tamesa," her voice full of sympathy. I nodded as a 'I heard you' and slid down the wall as she walked away.

"Tami?" I heard my older brother Sean call for me. I looked up and blinked trying to clear the blurry vision.

"What's wrong?" He bent squatted down to were I was.

I took a deep breath after a long sob and let out shakily "Ethan."

Sean's eyes were full of fury. He looked around the halls searching for him. I always loved my brothers. They were protective me and they could beat up and boyfriend that broke my heart. But for some reason, I didn't want him hurt.

"Don't," I kind of mumbled. Sean look ed at me with confusion, but then shook it off. He knew what i needed right now was just a hug. He new out of all my brothers that I really loved him. And now he's gone.

"How about we go get some McDonald's and ice cream. This made me grin. Not because it sounded good. But he knew I hated fast food. But the ice cream sounded good.

I took the offer of his hand and he helped me up. We skipped the rest of school to just play around.

It was around the time school usually got out. I was entering the bookstore. I was sitting at a table by the window looking at a couple of books I might buy when i looked out the window. There I saw Ethan and Elle at the little diner Ethan used to take me to all the time. That was the only place I would eat fast food.

I couldn't stand the sight of them laughing together. I shoved the books back into their places on the shelf and stormed out the bookstore. I think he looked over hear but I didn't really care. I just wanted to go home.

Then i remembered, crap Sean dropped me off here. I reached into my pocket to call somebody on my phone. But it wasn't there. I let out a huge shaky sigh and started to walk.

Nothing wrong with a 5 mile walk home. Please note the huge sarcasm.

I was mad that i was going to scrape my brand new All-Star converse. I kept doing that to all my other ones so i wanted to keep these neat. That wasn't going to happen.

I started to get near the woods. The sidewalk ended so i was just walking on the side of the road. I was just going to enjoy the peaceful walk and listen to nature but then a familiar tan car pulls up.

"Tami?" Ethan's voice calls to me.
