I walked out of my classroom ready to join the others for a ride to Lillian's house, but a certain dirty-blond haired boy stops me from doing so. He was leaning against the wall on the opposite side of my classroom, so there was no avoiding him now.
"Hey." Carter says catching me by surprise. I was the last to get out, so not much people were in the hallways anymore.
"Hi Carter." I say giving a weak smile
and walk towards my locker.
"You uh, wanted to tell me something?" He says and I feel my shoulders tense up and my heart beginning to beat faster. I hadn't completely thought this through and obviously, I was a nervous wreck.
"Yeah!" I said too loudly and cringed mentally. "I uhm.. Just... HAHA." I laughed nervously and mentally kicked myself.
"Blair? Are you okay...?" Carter asks reaching for my shoulder, but before he could reach it, I take a step back.
"I'm okay." I reassured him. It was silent for awhile and we stood there staring at each other. I could feel the tension between us and god it was killing me. He cocked his eyebrow and waited curiously for my reply.
"Look. I'm going to be brief here alright?" I said and he nodded. I took a deep breath and cleared my mind. "What I said yesterday... wasn't exactly true."
"What... what do you mean?" He says confused. I gulp nervously and I felt my heart hammering my chest, and sweat forming at the coast of my forehead.
"I mean..." I trailed of. Jesus save me. Why did this have to be so hard? "I'm saying maybe we are... I mean... We could work it out?"
He stared at me in disbelief. For a moment, he looked happy and hopeful, but the next he looked confused and nervous. I couldn't read his eyes or look into his thoughts, although it seemed as if his mind was flooded with thoughts.
"Well say something." I said softly, biting my lower lip. It was quiet again and he stuffed his hands into his pocket.
"I have to go." He says and averts his gaze away from mine.
"Wh-what?" I stutter, taken aback by his words. I felt tears form in my eyes but I blinked them away and kept my chin held high.
"I'm sorry." He mumbles and walks past me, out the doors and into the parking lot. I stood there dumbfounded and still processing what had just happened. He left me.
"Blair?" I hear a soft voice behind me, and a hand rested on my shoulder. From the corner of my eye, I saw that it was Lillian.
"He... uhmm... he left." I say. My voice was shaky and I was unable to face her, for tears were threatening to spill from my eyes.
"Oh sweetie." She said walking in front of me and wrapping her arms around me. I laid my head on her shoulder and began to sob as she rubbed my back, attempting to comfort me. I couldn't hold back anymore and soon enough the tears came streaming down my cheeks. "Shhh Blair it's okay. It's gonna be okay." She says tightening the hug.
She pulled away and I averted my gaze to the floor and fiddled with my feet. Her hands were on my shoulders and mine were in my pocket. "Hey look at me." Lillian says and I look up at her. My eyes felt swollen and my nose was clogged and runny. I felt awful.
"Everything is going to be alright okay? So a boy rejected you. It isn't the end of the world!" She smiled, trying to cheer me up.
"I was just so... stupid." I croaked. "This is probably so dramatic right? I mean he wasn't even my boyfriend." I laughed but I sounded vulnerable and weak.
"No boy is worth your tears Blair." She said rubbing my arm. "Remember that okay?" I nodded and we began to walk towards the parking lot.
We both get into her car and I feel the car vibrate under me. I stare out the window and rest my head on my palm.
"Blair?" Lillian asks before we drive off. I turned to look at her and she smiled warmly at me.
"Keep your chin held up high princess. Your tiara is falling."
