After hours of waiting for the bell to ring finally it did.
I met up with Jewels at the bus port and saw James and Marcus walking near so I panicked and pretended to be on the phone.
"Hey Bloom."
James awkwardly waved to me trying to get my attention but I ignored.
He was literally too cute.
"Bloom we all know your not really on the phone."
He laughed and I put my phone down.
"So we all sit on for tonight?"
We all smiled and nodded.
"Hey I've got to go to my bus."
I awkwardly said directed towards James.
"Alright take my number."
He through me a small piece of paper.
I smiled and walked off.
I looked down at the number and copied it down into my phone when some ruthless idiot ran into me.
That ruthless idiot was my girlfriend.
"Hey Boo."
She turned and gave me a peck on the cheek.
I blushed embarrassed and I hoped that James hadn't seen it.
She bent down and grabbed my phone and the piece of paper.
"Who's number?"
"Oh uh just a friend."
"Bloom I asked you who's number."
"......James......."
She stormed off tears in her eyes and I instantly felt like jerk.
"ROSE WAIT ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK!"
"Y-you are writing down the number of the cute poetic James Smith aka your old 7th grade crush.....
WHY SHOULDN'T I FEEL BETRAYED?"
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU."
"Well I don't believe you."
A tear slipped down my cheeks and I realized that in the process I had missed my bus.
I began walking home alone and slowly tears started absolutely streaming down my face.
No one would see them so it didn't matter.
It didn't matter to Rose so why would anyone else care.
But someone else did care.
James cared.
