Love adventure

Mistake.

I woke up with my head pounding. I woke up earlier than usual so I had time to try and look good to make up for the way I felt. My mom walked in my room. "How did you get home?" She asked. "Just a boy named Sammy. Its nothing. Sussy was just busy with another boy so he offered." she gave me a big grin and I just shut the door. It was honestly nothing. He was just being nice. I walked to school slower when my mom dropped me off. I got there three minutes late. I sat down and put my head on the table. I didn't want to see Jack. He was with his friends in the other side of the room. Then I hear "Reddd. No way you came? After chugging that bottle?" He sat next to me and I refused to look up. "Come on red. You're still not mad because I have a little nickname for you?". I was pissed. I had a headache and he was making it worse. He went back to his friends and that's when I looked up. Amy went crazy asking questions "what did I miss out on guys? What the hell!! You have to tell me everything!" We spent the whole time talking about it. Classes dragged on to lunch time and I was sitting alone because Amy and Sussy went to the library to finish work. I could harldy eat. The vodka really did a number on me. I saw Sammy and Jack walking towards me. I wanted to block them out before they came so I put my head down again. "See Sammy. Poor red is mad at me from last night!" He said to Sammy.

Sammy sat down with Jack. "She wasn't mad at me last night. Got to take her home and she seemed fine huh Roxanne?" I looked up at Sam and nodded. "Wait what? You dropped her off? And why did you response to him and not me?" Jack seemed shocked as if we were friends and I betrayed him. I didn't even know the guy. I was irritated with everything and everyone today. I got up, looked at Jack and said "because he calls me by my name and isn't a fucking tool". I walked away pretty proud of what I did.  I don't know why I did it. I was mad that my friends were right. That he was a jerk to girls like me. Calling me names and acting like he deserves everyone's attention. Well he won't have mine.

I got home and posted a picture on Instagram of me quoting "bullshit day. Want to move back. Schools full of tools" I left my phone behind will I wrote about my day. An hour or so passed when my phone was ringing. Amy was calling. "Dude check ur Instagram. Your boy toy commented. You didn't tell me he followed you?! Anyway text me for once!" She hung up not letting me say a word. I checked my Instagram and there it was. Jacks comment. "Looking good red. (;"

What did this boy want from me? I wanted to stay away as much as possible so there was no way I catched feelings. But there was a part of me that liked his attention. The next morning I knew I was going to be bored all day. It was Saturday. I had no plans and all my friends seem to be with boys. I got up. And went for a walk. I needed to start working out anyway, even if it was just walking. Not many people were at the park. I started jogging with my music on as loud as it could go. I wanted to forget Jack. And his mysterious ways. Why me? Why is he bothering me? Doesn't he have a girlfriend? All these questions but no answers. I was pretty tired after a 20 minute jog. I laid on the grass still listening to music. I checked my notifications but nothing. I closed my eyes forgetting I was at the park. I felt something lick me and when I jumped up I saw a chocolate lab with a collar labeled "Toby" . A few seconds later someone comes running yelling his name. Of course it had to be Jack. Jack didn't seem like the type to walk his dog. Or even own a dog. Could he even love a dog? Not possible.

"Wow. We keep running into each other!" He said. For the first time he didn't call me Red. So I responded. "You mean you keep following me?" He laughed and sat down next to me like I was okay with it. Toby kept wagging his tail and licking me, he seemed super exited.

"So R-" he cut himself off before saying anything. "Look Jack. I don't know why you decided to talk to me all of a sudden or even acknowledge me. But I'm not up for it. I've heard a lot about you and I don't surround myself with those people. You're like the school jerk.". After saying that he looked at me with a blank expression. He pulled Toby away from me and said "No. You look red. I was trying to be nice to you. Make you feel less nervous. Make you feel like you belong here at school. I'm not a jerk. Just because I don't talk to certain people and date many girls doesn't mean a thing. I know who I am versus what others think of me. And if you're one of those that judge from what they've heard then okay. Have a fun senior year red. Bye" he walked away with Toby and I turned red. I can't believe that just happened. I didn't mean for it to go that bad. Maybe I had him all wrong. Maybe he's not that bad. I let others opinions drown my thoughts and now I look like the bigger jerk! I jogged back home and showered thinking of how I just messed everything up. I went from wanting to get to know Jack to pushing him away.

Please rate or comment on how I'm doing so far or how I can improve. I want to know if i should keep writing. I didn't want it to climax so fast so I'm taking my time. I like long meaningful writings. Just comment and let me know please!
