We were joking around and acting dumb.
While doing this, one of our classmates had walked to our table.
"Hey...." they said to me.
"Um, hey?" I questioned.
"Rumor has it that Asher is going with Katie to the dance tonight."
"Um, no, they're not going to the dance together anymore after what happened. He's going with me now." I said.
"That's not what I heard."
"People just probably don't know they're not going together anymore, it's no big deal." I brushed it off.
"Whatever you say." They walked away.
The girls looked at me in question.
"What? They probably just didn't know what they were talking about. I don't need to worry." I smiled, but deep down, I had a bad feeling telling me otherwise.
Our next class after lunch was science.
I sat where I always did and was drawing before class started.
One of Ashers friends, Alex, came up next to me.
"Hey, so Asher wanted me to tell you that he's going with Katie to the dance tonight.."
I go silent.
"Are you serious?" I ask.
He nods.
Tears well up in my eyes.
They start rolling down my face as I wipe them away, trying to hide them.
Alex looks at me with pity and sympathy.
"Please go away..."
He doesn't ask anymore questions, and does what I asked.
More and more tears start rolling down my face.
It gets to the point where I can't stop them and let them flow.
I let out whimpers and put my head down, not wanting everyone to see me like this.
But I know Asher does.
The class continues.
I cry to the point where I can't breathe.
The girls finally notice and run to me.
"Hey, hey, are you ok, what happened? Look at me." Paulina asks, wiping away my tears.
At this point I have trouble speaking.
Paulina asks the teacher if they could take me to the bathroom.
She nodded and let us go.
In the bathroom, they cleaned me up and wiped my tears.
I told them what happened.
Ani hugged me while Paulina was furious.
"I don't think I want to go to the dance anymore guys....I think I'm going to just ask my mom to pick me up."
"Nonono you can't do that! Don't let him be the reason you don't go! You need to show him what he's missing out on. Don't let him ruin your night."
"You are amazing. He doesn't deserve you" Ani reassured.
I nod, "ok, ok I'll think about it."
"Good, because you're going to look amazing in that dress." Paulina says.
"Are you ready to go back?" Ani asked.
I slowly nodded and we walked back to class.
As I entered, I saw Asher in the corner of my eye.
I walked past him and went back to my seat.
Adelina had left earlier that day, so she had no idea about what was going on.
I shakily grab my phone and ask my mom to pick me up.
She questions it, but eventually agrees.
The moment I heard my name on that speaker, a switched flipped within me.
I grab my stuff and slammed my hands on Ashers desk, looking him right in the eye.
"Seriously? You're going with her." I yelled at him.
Everyone went silent.
He wouldn't make eye contact with me.
The teacher came over to us.
"Can you two take this outside."
I move and we both go outside of the classroom.
"Please don't hit him." She says, before going back inside the classroom.
I look at him, tears and fury in my eyes.
"Are you serious?!" I yell.
He flinches.
I felt anger in every inch of my body.
"Are you really serious?" I repeat.
He stays silent.
"On the day of the dance you're going to ditch me to go with her? Asher she tried to get you jumped?! You know how I feel about her!" I exclaimed.
"And for what? Just because she's pretty? Because I know goddamn well it's not because of her personality!"
He looks at his feet, refusing to make eye contact. Something he always does when he's guilty.
I notice this, and it sets me off even more.
"Look at me!" I scream.
He immediately looks up.
"Look at what you did to me...."
"What am I going to tell my mom? Huh?"
"After everything I've done for you, you're going screw me over like this?" I let out a cry.
"Im so sorry..." He says.
"I'm such a bad friend...." He whispers. Regret in his eyes.
"Yeah, you are." Tears continue to roll down my face.
I stand there, sobbing.
"Bri, I-" he goes to hug me.
I step back.
"No, don't touch me."
A surprised look spreads across his face.
I had never rejected one of his hugs before.
He puts his arms down in defeat.
Knowing he had messed up big time.
I shake my head and walk away.
I never told my mom about what happened.
I told her that he was going to meet me there instead.
I didn't want her to hate him.
Even though he hurt me, I still protected him.
By the next week, I had forgiven Asher.
