After the incident that afternoon, There was a lot of awkward tension between Jake and I. At this moment, time passed by slower than a tortoise. I could not bear the awkward silence any longer so I broke it out by saying "so" (emphasizing on the "O")
In the midst of using his phone, he directed his gaze towards me.
"lets do something fun! I'm totally not bored if you can tell" I said sarcastically .
"Sure". He suggested we watch a movie. I agreed. We both decided to watch Frozen 2.
It was nearly the ending of the movie when Jack's mom called and asked him to return home. It was already dark and the sky had become overcast, purplish with little streaks of white.
I walked him out till the entrance of my house gate and we said our goodbyes.
Jack looked and even felt uneasy. Probably of what happened earlier today.
It was getting late now so I finished up my leftover homework and began using my phone. I ranted to Elizabeth about the events that unfolded earlier in the afternoon. Elizabeth had long straight hair that fell beneath her shoulders and had a body figure for days.
It was getting late. I got ready for bed and I laid there thinking about today. Whether Jack was going to tell his friends, or if his friends would just laugh and shrug it off like it was nothing. All that thinking made me fall fast asleep.
I woke up the next morning and carried out with my usual morning routine.
***
In school, at break, Jack had made a circle that consisted of his friends.
I started to panick because this scene has never happened. At least not before my eyes.
My head was pounding. I could feel my heart hammering against my chest and my palms were clammy. I told Jane about it today morning.
Elizabeth patted my shoulders and said "Calm down Betty! Maybe they aren't even talking about that."
"Yeah! They're probably talking about a football match that was going on yesterday." Jane said as she ran her fingers through her hair.
" Yeah" but deep inside I had a feeling something bad was going to happen that moment. I could just feel It.
As we were passing that gang, my thoughts were all over the place. I thought everything was going to be fine until one of the boys turned back and said "Hey! didn't know you were that desperate that you banged him!" They all start laughing hysterically.
At this point i did not know what to do. I stood there dumbfounded as I was at a loss of words at how Jack twisted the entire story!
"No! That's not what happened!" I defended.
Both Jane and Lizzie exchanged confused looks as they shook their heads dissapprovingly. "LIAR!" Jane exclaimed and shot me a look of disappointment .
"Lets go, how pathetic and sad are you?" Jane continued.
How could my own best friends not believe me?!
Tears were streaming down my face because that is not what happened. I felt flabbergasted as the crowd of other students stood there and watched.
I hurriedly walked out of the scene. I could feel a lump forming in my throat and the parameter of my view was blurry.
At that moment I shot Jack several times in my head.
The bell rang, which indicated lunch time was over. I was the first one to reach class and was put at ease at the thought of remembering it being Commerce class. I was very silent and was still sobbing away.
I felt like digging a hole and burying myself inside as those group of boys just could not stop staring and laughing at me.
"Thank god" i said to myself as the final bell rang. I was happy to leave as I felt insecure and awkward in class. My bus has arrived early today. Finally something good that happened today.
But i still could not belive that Jerk. How could he?!?
I was pretty upset the whole day. It was already time for bed. My phone buzzed "New group message from besties" I opened it to be faced by;
Jane: LIAR! LIAR!
Elizabeth: PANTS ON FIRE!
Jane: HANGING ON A TELEPHONE WIRE!
I threw my phone at one corner of the bed and I rubbed both my hands against my face. My mom decided to walk in that moment- perfect timing. Why is the universe conspiring against me?
"Oh honey, are you okay?" My mom asked sounding concerned.
"Yeah it was just a bad day at school." I waved my hand dismissively. "But I'm okay" I assured her.
"Alright then, you go get some sleep now." she said as she kissed my forhead. "Goodnight." She dissappeared out of sight.
I got up to charge my phone when it suddenly buzzed " New message from Blocked ID"
I opened it
Anonymous:"Hey beautiful :) <3"
My eyes widened and my heart hammered against my chest. I asked myself who could this be and who would text me this late at night?
