The next day, I wake up and get ready to face the day at school. I go downstairs and eat breakfast, when my mom walks in.
"Hi sweetie, I'm going to be working late since I missed work yesterday." She says smiling grabbing an apple, then kisses my cheek.
"Okay, I might stay after school to catch up also" I say smiling up at her.
She walks out the door waving. I go into the bathroom and brush my teeth then drive to school.
Once I get to school everyone is staring at me. Wow does everyone know? I walk to my locker and grab my books I need, then go to first period. I sit in the back so no one looks at me. Then Alicia walks into the room, she spots me and walks towards me. I don't move because I got here first I shouldn't have to move.
"Carter, I'm so sorry, I didn't know this would be like this." She says, I look at her.
"Would be like what? You were fucking my boyfriend behind my back! Of course I would be pissed at you too! Alicia get away from me!" I yell and Mrs. Cunningham glares at me.
"What are you looking at you hag!" I yell then run out of the room and the school. I get to my car and drive to the park my dad used to take me to when I was a little kid. I sit at a bench and decide to get my phone out. I text Michael.
C: hey Michael, its Carter.
M:Hey Carter.
C: you're probably in school I shouldn't be bothering you, nevermind ill text you later. (:
M: actually I'm not. What do you need?
C: I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out or something.
M:sure :D where do you want to meet up?
C: the park by the river.
M: sounds good :)
I just sit on the bench until Michael arrives. I make sure my make up is okay since I was crying. He walks over to me and sits on the bench next to me.
"This place is beautiful." He says looking around.
"I know right, my dad used to bring me here all the time when I was little. Now I come here when I'm sad or feel lonely" I say looking at him.
"Well why are you sad or lonely?" He asks looking back at me.
"You probably don't want to listen to my problems, its nothing." I say.
"Sure I do, now what is it Carter. I hope you know you can trust me." He grabs my hand and squeezes it.
I feel something in my stomach, a whole feeling. Maybe hanging out with Michael won't be a bad thing.
I smile at him. "Okay..the other day my boyfriend cheated on me and today I needed space, but I figured out I didn't need space from everyone in my life I just need space from him and my old friend." I say looking down.
"Oh...well if you're up to it, I know something that might make you happy tonight." He says looking at me.
"And what is that?" I smirk.
"Would you like to go to my friends party tonight?" He smiles.
"Like as a date?" I smile back.
"No it doe-"
I cut him off. "I'd love to michael" I grin at him and he grins widely as well.
He blushes madly. "Well I will pick you up at 7:30 tonight." He smiles standing up. He grabs my hand and helps me up and we walk to our cars.
