The Old Scars Still Come Back

The Old Scars Still Come Back (Part 2)

*where we left off in Part 1*

"she's so adorable"

My stomach rose up to my very fastly beating heart. "Oh my gosh did he just call me adorable? No-one's ever called me that before."

"Mary did he just call me adorable?"

"yes :)"

"Oh my gosh this is happening so fast." I thought to myself. "But remember why you went to homecoming alone? Because you were too fast."

I laid on my bed, waiting for a response. I had just asked my friend, whom I had gone to school with for four years, to my homecoming. He had been my "boyfriend" in grade school and I went so far as to kiss him on the cheek in 1st grade as we were walking in from recess. I had just reconnected with him a few days ago, and he was looking pretty good. He was taller then me and had his freckles and dark hair from grade school still. But that face had matured so much. I swore he was flirting with me when he asked for my number. It went like this:

*looking at my phone*"So I see you have a phone. Can I have your number?"

He was looking at me kind of weirdly, and I was just like "boi your such a playa."

"Do you want it?" I asked him.

"Yeah."

Then my phone buzzed. It was from him. I read the text; he hadn't really answered my proposal. I knew it was too early, and so I waited a few more weeks until it was closer to ask him again.

"Im okay with whatever you say." I told him at the end of my proposal. I waited nervously, shaking a little. Then my phone buzzed.

"Okay"

"Honestly I don't feel like going"

That crushed me. He didn't FEEL like going with me. That offended me so much. I tried to hold back the tears. This was my only chance at getting a date, and a boyfriend. Realizing he was trying to be nice in letting me down, I let the tears drip down my face. It took me a few minutes to write a response that didn't show my emotions.

"Okay thats fine." was all I could come up with

"kewl" he replied.

I suddenly felt a tear trying to come out of my left eye. I had started to cry remembering that rejection. "Oof he texted me." I said. Jack had responded to my text a few minutes ago and I hadn't read it yet. I read it and replied.

We continued texting all day. He was so nice and understanding. I couldn't believe how lucky I was. I was definitely in debt to Mary. It was nearing the end of the day and I was falling so hard for Jack. Mary texted me a screenshot of her and Jack's messages. He wanted to meet up with me!!! I was so happy. I also found it extremely cute because he was too scared to ask me himself.

"Hey, Mary just sent me the screenshot u sent her"

"Yea I just sent it to her and said I thought you were cool"

"Lmao thats cute.U could have just asked me were u scared?"

"Asked u what?"

"To go out with y'all"

"Yea well I figured it would've been better coming from Mary"

"LOL why would u think that? I would have said yeah if u asked me."

"Idk I mean I just met u and didn't want to make it weird"

"Honey I also just met Mary. But I am flattered this has never happened to me before, hbu?"

"What? This whole kind of situation? Hell no"

"lmao lmao same"

"Well it looks like we have something in common"

I decided to get flirty with him because I wanted to tell him of my recent rejection.

"Hey have you ever got rejected before?"

"Yea but it was like beginning of 8th grade. hbu?"

Yes, this is what I wanted. I wanted to tell him about what happened with the homecoming rejection. I wanted to make the guy who rejected me feel bad.

"happened a few weeks ago🤣" I held my breath as I pressed SEND. I wondered how he would react.

"Aww Im so sorry" (I squealed when he texted that)

"Nah its fine. Now there is u and u r way nicer then him so yeah"

"Aww thank you"

"omg you have no idea how happy I am"

"Im glad ur happy"

"That makes me happy"

I was so elated when he said that. I swore I was about to vomit from nervousness. I just couldn't believe this was happening. (And I know y'all are judging me real hard right now cause this happened so soon. Fun fact as I am writing this me and him are having serious problems so I don't blame y'all. We might break up and this is right before the 1 month anniversary on Friday so idk if it will last that long. I am so sad looking back at all these messages. #preyers. *Smiling through the tears and pain*)

Back to the story, it was getting pretty late and tomorrow was Monday, which meant school (yay). My mom told me to get off my phone and get ready for bed.

"Hey I gtg I gave you my email and tomorrow imma call you bai!"

"Byee"

(Hey guys it me. So if you read above in the parentheses I said we were having problems. He ended our relationship b/c of his personal problems on 10/29. So I don't know if I want to continue writing this I hope y'all will understand why. Im having trouble getting over him and writing this is making it worse. Thanks for understanding:)
