Every since that day Ive been, distant, and just too tired to do anything.
I wake up everyday and go to school to see Payton with the same girl he cheated on me with. He looked unaffected by the way whole situation.
???: hey so sorry about the whole thing with Payton
I turn around to see the girl he was with the night at Chick fe A.
L: no its fine. Sorry we haven't officially met my names Lizzie you?
???: Avani nice to meet you!
L: wait how long have you and Payton been... you know.... talking?
A: since like the beginning of the school year.
She giggled making the anger grow faster. Thats when I was in the hospital. Since the beginning of the school year. Since Payton said he loved me. Why? Why did he lie to me?
J: hey Lizzie you ok?
Joey snapped his fingers in front of my face, snapping me out of my trance. I look at him and give him a sheepish smile.
L: yeah just thinking
J: your not thinking about what Avani told you yesterday are you
I totally was but I'm not gonna let him know
L: no no Im fine Joseph Matthew Birlem
I loved calling him by his full name. It always got him mad. But he loved me so it didn't matter.
I got up from the lunch table and threw my lunch away.
J: hey umm.....
L: yeah?
J: do you wanna umm......
L: what? *giggle*
J: umm maybe wanna go to a party
L: with you? Like a date?
Joey nods and looks down. I watch as he shifts from one foot to another. I giggle at how nervous he was acting.
J: what *giggle*
L: nothing. Sure!
J: sure what?
L: god do I have to explain *laughs*
J: oh right. Saturday. 7:00. Ok?
L: got it Birlem.
Joey walks away backwards almost tripping over his feet. I start to laugh as I look around. The cafeteria was empty. Only me and a clumsy Joey. I look back at where Joey was to see him gone. Well only me I guess.
