The Blonde Moments

Chapter 6

I know why I ran. Most people don't though. When I was a sophomore I dated this guy named James. I thought I was in love with him. That was until i saw him kissing another girl. I thought maybe I didn't know something so I didn't confront him. Then I saw him kiss another girl. I was heartbroken. I don't want Luke to break my heart.

Luke isn't at school today. I wonder where he is. I hope he's okay. I'm in social studies class when Mrs.Taylor says "What is the capital of Texas, Ms.Blake?" Not thinking I answered "T." Everyone started laughing. "This is not funny, Ms.Blake." I feel my cheeks heat up. They're probably as red as a tomato. " Guess it's just another one of her blonde moments.", someone says. This is not gonna be a good day.

Me: Why weren't you at school today?
Luke: Because
Me: Because isn't a good answer.
Luke: Says who?
Me: Says me.
Luke: I don't care what you say.
Me: That wasn't nice.
Luke: Your not nice.
Me: Will you just stop being rude and tell me why you weren't at school? Please?
Luke: I think you know why I didn't go to school.
Me: No I don't.
5 minutes later
Me: Hello?
Me: Luke are you still there?
Me: Luke why aren't you answering?
Me: Fine. Bye.
Luke: Bye.

I can't go to sleep.I can't stop thinking about Luke. Why was he so rude? Was he not at school because of me? I have to talk to him. I have to tell him that I like him as more than a friend. I have to tell him why I ran. I just hope I haven't ruined things between us. Tomorrow I will fix all of this mess.

I feel like I'm going to cry. I can't believe what I just saw. I thought Luke liked me. I guess he lied. I can't believe he kissed her. Her, the person I hated most, Valerie. Valerie is a sneaky, liar. We used to be best friends. Now were enemies. He knows I hate her. I have to get out of here before I start bawling. So I run. I run home, not caring that I'm skipping school. Once I get home I run upstairs, flop down on my bed and cry. Nobody is home but me. My parents are at work and my brother's at school. I stay in my room for hours. I hear my phone go off but I don't answer it. I feel awful. This is how I felt because of James. I thought Luke was different, but he wasn't. Now I'm heartbroken.
