My Very Own Love Story (a high school romance) (on hold)

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

*Monday*

I walked into school and went to my locker. I saw Kevin walking down the hall and waved at him. He ignored me, which was odd. Later at break I found that he was dating Lydia again. I felt something hurt inside. I went through the next class thinking about anything but Kevin. Once the bell rang I walked to my locker and put my stuff away. Halia came up to me and gave me a hug.

“I’m so sorry Jackie!” She told me.

“Its fine lets just go.” I told her walking to the cafeteria.

We sat down at a table and started eating. Kevin and Dylan came to sit with us and I just stared down at my food moving it around the tray. The table was quiet and lunch felt like a drag. Once the bell rang I walked out and headed for my locker. I heard footsteps and all of a sudden I saw Kevin standing there.

“Whats your problem today?” He asked me.

“I don’t know what you mean.” I told him blankly.

“Bullshit, you’ve been ignoring me all day and-” He began.

“Oh that!” I said as if realizing something for the first time. “Oh I’m just preparing for when you stop talking to me.” I told him. “You always start to be a bitch when you’re with her, so I’m just preparing for the worst and not letting you catch me off guard.”

He responded with a simple but quite loud “FUCK THIS! I’M OUT!” And slammed my locker.

For the next week all we did was fight, we could talk to each other and then we would just start fighting again. It made me want to die, because here was this kid that I really cared about, more than a friend caring, and he was dating a girl that would only hurt him which in turn would hurt me.

*About a week later*

It was the end of first period and I was putting my stuff in my locker and getting out my gym bag. Next thing I knew I something was wrapping around my waist, I realized it was a pair of arms and put my hands around them while leaning back and closing my eyes. It felt so good to have someone wrap their arms around me, I loved the feeling. Yes, sometimes I can be a very cuddly person, its one of my favorite past times. All of a sudden I felt a pair of lips kiss the side of my face and knew it was Marc. Our relationship had been getting better but we still weren’t dating or anything, but all the awkwardness was gone. He was really there for me when I needed him most and I was grateful for that. Then Kassidy showed up pretending to be freaked out.

“Uhm, what are you doing with my uncle?” She asked looking at us still in the same position.

Before I could answer Marc replied with a “I’m giving her a hug dumbass, whats it look like I’m doing, raping her?” At this I broke out laughing. The bell rang and I headed back to gym. As always I just kinda sat in the weight room talking with Dingus and Kyle while everyone else sat outside in the actual gym playing games, everyone was afraid of both Dingus and Kyle but I had no idea why they were really nice and funny people.

After class I headed to lunch and met up with Halia. We got our food and sat alone since it was an orange day and Jasey only had first lunch on white days. I now had it all year because there wasn’t enough people in there so they put my Career Essentials in first.

“So are you ok?” She asked sounding kind of worried.

“Yeah why wouldn’t I be?” I replied sounding my best to sound cheerful.

“I don’t know you just look kind of sad.” She answered. There was a pause before she also added “So uhm hey, I kinda asked Kevin to sit with us today is that cool?”

“You what?!?!” I said trying not to yell. She didn’t have to say anything else because moments later he sat down.

There was an awkward silence until Halia said “ So Kevin, hows your girlfriend?”

“She’s pretty good.” He answered blankly looking at me.

“You don’t need to look at me!” I said sounding pissed.

“What the hell is your problem? All I ever am to you is nice, and you act like a stuck up bitch. I didn’t do anything to you.” He said looking away.

A few more minutes went by and someone walked by calling me a slut. I just looked on not knowing what that was about, oh wait never mind that would be Billy, he’s always like that because I don’t talk to him anymore.

“Don’t worry Jackalin. Kevin do you think she’s a slut?” She asked looking at him.

He nodded not even looking up, after that he got up and moved. That did it I felt sick to my stomach and walked out knowing that I was about to start crying. I went to the office and called the first number I could think of. When Kassidy’s mom didn’t pick up I called my gram. She did pick up and told me a ride would be there in about twenty minutes. I thanked them and went back to the cafeteria and went up to Dylan, no I didn’t want to go up there, thats where Kevin was, but I needed to get a number from his phone.

As I got there still red and puffy eyed I looked at Dylan and asked him for the number. He gave it to me and I thanked him walking away. I noticed that Kevin had been watching me but I didn’t care I just left.

“Hey thanks for letting me stay here.” I said to my meme (she’s my dad’s mom) and she stood up and gave me a hug.

“Your welcome dear, now why couldn’t you stay at school, and don’t give me any bull shit. After that I sat down and told her everything. She listened and then decided I was not to go to school the next day. She was gonna tell my dad I was too sick to go anywhere, she even staged the whole thing in case he went there the next day. Later I got on the computer to talk to my friend Trevor on myyearbook. I didn’t know him in person, which was good for the both of us, it meant that we had someone to vent to and we could always get advice without the other person going around our school telling everybody. He wasn’t on so I also logged onto facebook. After a few minutes I heard a noise and saw that someone was trying to chat with me... Kevin.

Kevin: how come you left school today?

Me: because of someone, and why should it matter to you anway?

Kevin: what happened? who did it?

Me: you really wanna know? you, it was your fault, im sick of fighting with you, and you made me cry today so i left. i couldn’t deal with it

Kevin: how did i make you cry?

Me: halia asked if you thought i was a slut and you shook your head yes, then got up and left

Kevin: im so sorry! i wasn’t listening to the conversation, i do that a lot and i walked off because you were mad at me, which i didn’t do anything to you

Me: no, indirectly you didn’t do anything to me kevin. but your dating HER again, and she hurt you last time and i care about you and don’t want you to get hurt again. and before you say anything just shut up cuz i dont wanna fight with you anymore

Kevin: i’m sorry, and if it helps i broke up with her today. i don’t want to fight with you anymore either, so how about tomorrow when i see you i give you a big hug to apologize?

Me: won’t work, i won’t be there

We talked for a while longer and then I got off and went to bed. Tomorrow was going to be a boring day. Not even Trevor was on so I just went back to bed and slept all day.
