It was the crack of noon. I winced in pain as I applied more makeup to cover my bruise, it had come off from all the sweat in gym class. I didn't feel like eating today. I hadn't eaten breakfast either.

Ryder was nowhere to be seen. It didn't suprise me, he usually would be smoking at the back of the school. Gary I'd seen a few times however. He didn't say anything, I guess that's what I deserved.

I became increasingly paranoid throughout the day. It was the usual, a couple of boys checking me out, girls who I precived to be their girlfriends voicing their rather explicit negative opinions about me.

To make my day worse, I had to take the long way home. There was construction on the main road, which meant I had to take the train tracks.

It was actully pretty beautiful--the sun reflected perfectly on the trees. Smiling slightly, I continued to walk forward, making sure to keep looking back. Trains never usaully come at this hour, but Bethany and I had a close call one time.

Then I saw a sight I didn't want to see. Renee with her paws all over Gary. I knew they went out a couple times last year, I overheard her talking to Veronica about it, but I was unsure why they were so close now. But at the same time, who could resist that fire red hair, and her perfectly smooth skin?

Nobody. I'll admit, not even me. If she wasn't such a bitch and if I wasn't in love with someone else maybe it would be me next to her.

Shaking my head, I ran off to a side trail in the woods. I crouched down behind a bush, hoping the two love birds wouldn't see me.

Gary came alone when he had chased after me, leaning agaist a tree, he let out a sigh, I could see he was displaying a half smile. "Kennedy I know you're behind there. It's just me."

I'd assumed Renee was a few yards away, but I didn't care to ask.

"So we're just friends right?" Gary asked, even though this question completly shattered my heart, I nodded. "You seemed awfully upset there."

"Why her? Why Renee?" I cut myself off before my voice broke from pure negative emotion, Gary chewed on his unlit cigerette, he wouldn't look me in the eye anymore.

Softly, I asked "was it just to make me jelous?"
