She's the one

Lockers

Demi's view;
I came out of English to find Lexi & Joey waiting for me.
"How long have you been standing there?" I ask them both.
"Since the bell went, why?" Lexi asks me.
"Did you see a tall person with a coat & dress shoes on?" I ask,
"I hate it when you call them dress shoes. They are just fancy shoes & no, why?" Lexi replies.
"Oh I don't care, look hold these for me." I pass her my bag & folders as I speed walk down the hallway to find Tom standing at his locker.

"Tom." I say,
He turns away & then starts to walk away. He's left his locker open so there is something wrong with him.
"Tom. Why are you running away from me!" I shout.
"Because, I can't be drawn back into this. I can't look you in the eyes with out being drawn back into you, falling for you. Yesterday I was able to reflect on what I had done & I'm sorry. Maybe it was all too quick. I should have waited longer. I can't look into them eyes without seeing the image of you crying & punching at my chest. I can't do it Demi. I'm sorry" he says as he walks away again.

I had my back against the lockers as I looked up at the ceiling.
"I had compared Tom to Jeff & now he doesn't want to know me" I whisper to myself so only I could hear.
"If he likes you like he said he did last night he'll come back." Joey tells me. I never realised that they were standing there listening in.

I snatched my folders off Lexi & began to walk to dance. I've known him the weekend & he has already managed to hook me in to fall in love with him, compare him to Jeff, punch him & cry. I guess Jeff got what he wanted, for me not to be able to go out with another person. I blame this on him.
