Michael and I both turned our heads toward the barely lit street. Crap! It’s really not my day today.
JOSTINA
Just hearing the name sickens me to the core. I’m not catching a break today
Michael breaks the silence.
“Hi Jostina… You look beautiful tonight.”
He is obviously trying to get back on her good side again. She actually looks decent. She is wearing a purple dress, exactly the same shade of purple that Michael has on his tie. She is wearing a dress that actually covers the knees. Maybe she has changed.
Jostina just blows up. There is screaming echoing through the street. Even the neighbourhood cat has moved from his normal spot on the curb.
Jostina comes up to the veranda, grabs Michael by the collar and drags him off, down my path and up the cul de sac.
I’m frozen. I can’t believe what just happened.
Jostina didn’t yell at me, nor did she look at me. Hmm… I’ll get it tomorrow at school.
What an eventful evening, and I didn’t even go to the dance.
I just pick up my purse and walk inside, stopping for chocolate on the way up to my room. I pull off my pumps that I bought especially for tonight, and leave them at the bottom of the stairs.
I trudge up the stairs and crash onto my bed.

I wake at 10:03 to hear the unmistakeable tone of my phone, when Michael texts me.
Soz bout tonite. Walk 2 skool with me 2moro?
I didn’t even want to discuss any events that happend tonight, but obviously Michael did.
Sure.

I hit the ‘stop’ button on my alarm clock, knowing that I have to face a day of awkwardness. I get dressed in my uniform, eat breakfast and go out the door to meet Michael.
As usual, he was playing his guitar that we customised together ago. It was an old second hand thing that he bought for taking to school. We sprayed it a deep blue and stuck photos on the back from when we were kids. He was sitting in his usual spot, on a brick breaker in the fence. I remember years ago we used to sit and talk about people at school all day on that same breaker.
Michael was playing ‘Gives You Hell’, his angry song. Great.
He hears the usual creak of my old wire door, and his head flicks up.
He walks over and slings his guitar over his shoulder and meets me at my front gate. We greet each other then it was silent. It was the most awkwardest 2 minutes I have ever been involved in, but then the both of us shouted “AWKWARD TURTLE” and made the turtle gesture with our hands.
“Listen about last night-“, he said, like he was apologising
“Oh don’t worry about Jostina, I can handle her”, I interrupted.
“No, it’s not that. Uhm… When we almosted uhh.. you know”.
“Kissed.” I blurted out. Idiot.
“Yeah, that, well me and Jostina talked and we both think that-“
I cut him off again and said “oh you broke up? That’s so sad…” YES! YES! YES!
Unfortunately my rejoicing was cut short.
“No we didn’t…” NO! NO! NO! “We both think that you’re a problem in our relationship.”
WHAT? Did I just miss something?
“You cannot be serious”
“Yeah, I mean you’re always all over me. Complimenting me, talking to me…”
Was Michael really describing me? You know what I’ll tell him who it sounds like.
“Me?! Michael, I’m sorry, but I don’t compliment you half as much as you compliment me!”
“Hayley! What the hell? I don’t- WHAT? This doesn’t- ugh! Just back off my life with Jostina. She’s my girlfriend, you’re just my-“
“bestest neighbour!” I screamed at him and ran into the green area that was near us. I don’t think Michael would have caught up with me even if he wanted to.
When I was certain he was not behind me, I just fell to the floor and started to cry. How could he do this to me?
