"Homework huh?" I ask. He steps closer and closer. I don't back away though, that just shows that I'm week.

"How much do you think you're gonna get? A 100? A 98? I don't know. You seem like a smart kid." I smile.

Oh who am I kidding.

It hurts so bad. He lied to me so he can hangout with the prettiest girl in school.

"Rose, it's no-" he starts.

"Amy. It's Amy. But it's okay if you didn't know. I mean, someone like you shouldn't waste their time with someone like me." I say.

I look down at the curb and kick the tiny pebbles there, getting my Converse dirtier than they already are.

"I know it's Amy, just let me expl-" he starts, but I cut him off again. "Explain what?" I look back up at him.

"There's nothing to explain. You didn't do anything wrong. I get it. You don't want to spend time with me. That's fine. Go get you're girl dude. Don't let me get in the way. Don't worry. I was just going to a friend's house that's all."

My voice cracks. Signaling that I'm already crying. I sniffled as I wipe the tear away and smile up at him.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I say as I get back on my skateboard.

"Amy," he starts. I look up at him one last time and he looks...hurt?

I skate away with a wave and a smile on my face.

Why would he be hurt? Did I do something? Should I go back and apologise? Did I offend him?

Oh God I feel so bad.

No.

I shouldn't go back. He doesn't wanna see me. He doesn't like me. He just wants me to leave him alone.

The pain in my chest returns and this time it's unbearable. I fall off of my skateboard with a loud thud.

I groan as I get back up. I get back on my skateboard and head home. When I'm opening my door, I hear a door open.

I turn around to see Ethan walking towards me. I pretend like I didn't see him a and open my door.

"Amy!" He calls out. I sigh and smile. I turn around and face him.

"Hey buddy, how's it going?" Crap. Stupid stupid. I shouldn't have called him buddy. We aren't friends. He doesn't want to be friends.

He doesn't want to be friends.

"I'm sorry for lying to you. It's just that-" he starts. I can't deal with this.

"No it's okay. I get that you where just trying not to hurt my feelings by saying no. I get it. Psht, I've done it a bunch of times." I say.

"But hey, at least you got to talk to one of the cutest girls in school right? How'd it go?" I ask.

He looks at me and sighs. "It was fine Amy, listen, I'm just trying to tell you-" he gets cut off by someone calling my name.

"Hey Amy Rose. I got you're message, I came as soo- oh you're not alone. Is now a bad time?" He asked.

Yup.

I texted Justin and Judy to come help me with my non-friend problems, though Judy was nowhere to be seen.

"Um, no, it's okay, my friend here was just going to tell me something but you can wait in my room." I say.

"It's upstairs, the last door to you're right." I explain. He goes into the house, greeting Ethan properly and then closing the door.

I look back at Ethan and he looks mad. Oh Lord, what is it now?
