I walk through the halls searching for my locker. I find it and put in my combination, getting it wrong, of course. I try again and again. It doesnt work. I scream out in frustration and I feel someone come up from behind me. Wesely pushes me aside and does a weird little trick. I roll my eyes and push him away from me. Then put my shit in my dingy locker, close it, then walk away.
Wesely follows me. "Hey", he says. I sigh and stop and turn around to face him and cross my arms. He doesn't say anything. Just looks really confused.
"Look, if you're interested in Jamie, go talk to her your fucking self, got it?, I say rudely. "I'm done being used because of her. So leave me alone!". I turn back around and run off. I feel tears fill my eyes and I'm really not sure why. I've never give a shit before, so why start now?
I go into class and take a seat in the back. A few minutes later Keaton comes in and takes his seat beside me and smiles at me. I blush and smile back, then hide my face in my hands. He chuckles lightly and class starts.
The teacher tells us that there is a dance going on this Friday and we have to come. I groan and look over at a smiling Keaton. Maybe he'll ask me to go! After class I get up and walk out. The day finishes quickly and Wesely drives me home.
"Drew had band practice and Keaton had to do something", Wesely says. I didn't ask but I was wondering. Damn mind reader. I turn on the radio and it's a pretty good song. Wesely starts singing when it gets to the chorus.
"Boy you can say anything you wanna
I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Uh
I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin'
Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Uh".
I laugh and sing the next verse with him.
"Please, this ain't even jealousy (jealousy)
She ain't got a thing on me (a thing on me)
Tryin' to rock them ugly jeans jeans jeans
Uh
You clearly didn't think this through
If what I've been told is true (is it true?)
You'll be crawling back like boo hoo hoo
Uh
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
And now you're doing them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
You got me, got me like this
Uh
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
And everywhere we went, come on!
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
You got me, got me like this
Uh".
We both laugh and he drives up to my house. I thank him and run into the house. My sister squels when she sees me. "CHLOE GUESS WHAT?!", She yells. I shrug.
"KEATON ASKED ME TO THE DANCE!". I feel my heart break and my stomach drop.
