My left hand held a small bag which contained a gift for Joe. One that I hadn't let see when I bought it. In my right, I held Joe's hand. We walk down the left side of the mall. There where many people here today. People of all ages. Some, even from our school. Some looked and laughed at us. Others turned and whispered. 

But I pushed all of them out of my mind. I was here to have a good time with Joe. With my boyfriend. I didn't care for there opinions. Then suddenly I was jerked to a stop. Joe wasn't walking anymore. 

And someone else was standing to his right.

~Tofuu~

I saw Leah, walkin along alone. Then she saw me. I stopped walking and she came over to me. "Hey Joe!" She said, her smile making me warm inside. I releases Zach's hand and went to hug her. She hugged back. "Long time no see." She giggled. "Haha, yup." I smiled back at her. 

That's when I noticed Zach standing awkwardly with his hands in his pockets a few feet away.

"Oh uh, Zach! This is Leah." "Hi!" Leah stretched out her hand, but Zach denied it. "...Yeah...I know who you are. You where the girl in 8th grade who helped the other girls put makeup on me." Leah's cheeks turned pink. "Oh uh.. y-yeah..About that, sorry." "It's what ever. A past thing I guess." He shrugged and kept looking down. Leah's hand fell to her side. Then she clasped them both together at her chest. "Oh yeah! This friday is the big Fall Dance. I wanted to know if you would be going?" "Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I don't know. Maybe." "Okay well," She pulled a small piece of paper from her purse pocket and handed it to me. "Call me if you figure it out!" "Oh, okay!" "I guess I'll be going now. See ya' Joe! Bye Zach!" "Bye!" I smiled as she waved and walked off. I stuffed my paper in my jeans pocket and turned to look at Zach. Who had already started walking away. Arms crossed.

Obvioulsy not okay.

What the frick. Our day was going so well untill Leah. All amazing and mighty Leah came! And she had to flirt with Joe like that? I was right fucki- I-I mean fricking there! She has to know we are together yet she still acts that way? Ugh. So annoying.

I started walking away the moment Leah gave Joe her number. I was going to ask Joe to the dance, but then she did? What the hell! I'm so pisased, and now I have to listen to Joe explain to me how it's nothing.

When it is something.

"Zach?" He was getting pretty far away. "Zach, wait up!" I jogged up to match his semi-fast-walk pace. I reached for his hand, and he pulled it away, out of reach. "Dude, what's wrong?" I asked. "Are you stupid?" He hissed at me, as he slowed to a stop. "What?" His tone was so hurtful. "Why would you agree to go on a date with another person!" He shouted at me. "Z-Zach, people are around..Keep your voice down." "Oh, shut up. Here," He thrust the bag he was holding at my chest. I grabbed it so it wouldn't plumit to the ground. "Give this to your new girlfriend." He martched off. I stood in shock.

What the frick just happened?
