Chapter 5 - Meetings & Greetings

I instantly stepped back and the mystery person's breath hit me. Oh.

I knew who it was. I recognized the smell of his breath. The smell of peppermints merged with refreshing spray only belonged to Jarred.

He had a bruised jaw, my hand mark was still there from when I slapped him, and he was slightly slouching down probably because of Makeyla's kick, he had a hickey on his neck, we know who that's from.

"What the heck!" I shouted, grabbing the attention of the rest of the kids. But right know I didn't care if I was the center of attention, I didn't even care if people would later talk about me. But I was used to it right?

"Lyn?" He seemed surprised it was me.

I rolled my blue eyes before turning around, not really wanting or ready to see his face. But of course he had something to say, so he grabbed my forearm. I didn't turn around but I stopped walking.

"Look I'm sorry, Lyn. Alicia forced me to kiss her, she practically pressed her lips into mine real fast and I didn't-" He tried to explain himself to me but I cut him off. Lyn was his nickname for me. I used to love hearing him say it. I couldn't bare with these memories, all of them were good. I mean yeah, we had fights but it will usually end up with us cuddling.

Maybe that's why he chose Alicia. I didn't give him fun. I was boring him. I was boring. Our relationship was boring to him. Maybe that's why everyone chooses Alicia. Maybe that's why boys don't like me. I'm boring. Ugh I hate relationships.

"Honestly, shush! You didn't even have to kiss back. It's so easy to just push her away!" I yelled at him, feeling the tears weal in my eyes but I tried to push them back. "It doesn't matter because I don't care anymore." I wiped my mouth and crossed my arms. So much tears pooled in my eyes that Jarred's face began to become blur.

I didn't want to cry though. I'm not going to cry. I'm not.

He then looked at the ground and deeply sighed "Whatever." he mutters trying to hide his emotions. Why did I care so much?

Oh, right because he was the only guy I thought actually cared for me the same way I cared for him. I thought we would be together forever. But it's just like what Makeyla says, that forever love is a forever lie.

I hate how Alicia always wins. She always gets things her way. She always wins.

Just like this time.

"Please just forgive me Roslyn. One more chance is all it takes for me to change!" Seriously? He went with that line?

I have never been so happy that I didn't let my walls down with him. It would've hurt more than it does now.

I will never forgive him for what he did. I'm not a girl who would lock herself in her room and cry every second of the day. I read and watch a lot of books and movies based on the lives of teens. I watch it live at school, when girls get their heart broken by players, particularly Drake. Girls get cheated on. Most boys date innocent girls, use them for sex, and move on to the next girl. A boy will hurt you whether he doesn't like you or whether he does. It will come.

It was expected, I mean, how can a girl like me score such a hot guy like Jarred. And with Alicia hating me, it's like excepting pain with open doors.

Before all this 'drama' it was only Jarred, Makeyla, Alicia and I. The old Alicia.. the one that always liked me. That promised we'd be best friends forever. Sooner or later she'll have Makeyla turn her back on me, or any of my other friends!
