Lesson Learned

With a tiresome sigh, I reclined back in my seat; trying to look anywhere but at the mushy, lovey-dovey coupe sitting at the table next to me. I guess since we’re in the back of the class Mr. Dorson doesn’t notice the obnoxious baby talk and Emily’s little giggles, but I sure could. For the past half an hour Paul and Emily have been at it and seeing how it’s only 1st period, I know I have another four periods of mushy ‘head-over-heels’ in love couples mucking up the air around them. I’m starting to think that it may just be me who’s annoyed by them since everyone else seems to be paying attention to the lecture Mr. Dorson was giving. Sad part being: I wouldn’t be surprised if I was.

Anyone else will probably say it’s sweet that two people at the young age of 13, pushing 14 have found joy in one another’s company. I on the other hand, see the heart break that will follow and wonder why they even bother wasting each other’s time as much as they already are. Having heard this, seen that; I know that the girl will most likely end up wanting more from the guy because she’s egger to find young love.

Seriously? Gag me.

When she doesn’t find it in the guy she’ll get disappointed, come down from the ‘he asked me out’ high, realize she doesn’t like the way he talks, becomes even more disappointed, want to give up on love, and then they’ll break up. Through all of this the guy probably won’t even be phased since he’s not old enough to truly even try to understand girls and the way they think in relationships and he’ll just move on quickly. And it will be that exact moving on quickly that’ll break the girl’s heart.

Oh yeah, young love and relationship sounds like so much fun.

The shrill sound of the bell ringing echoed throughout the classroom as everyone rose and I realized that all of my stuff was still sprawled out on my desk. Silently cursing myself for losing track of time, I threw everything into my bag and rushed out of the science room; just barely managing to not slam the door into the face of some poor unsuspecting sixth grader’s face. Outside in the quad, well it was a whole different story for couples.

Left and right there were people hugging and giving each other quick peeks when they were sure teachers weren’t looking. There were lovey-dovey eyes and soft grabbing hands that held one another as they walked off to class. I seemed to be one of the few people who didn’t have someone else but that all changed when my best friend Mina came running up to me and practically tackled me into a hug. I laughed out of pure joy of seeing her and hugged her back, ignoring some odd stares from people walking by. They were just jealous, after all, that they didn’t have a friend like her.

“Hey Rae, what’s wrong? You seem a little off today,” Mina pointed out and I blinked a couple times before returning my attention to her with a forged smile on my lips

“Nothing to worry bout babe,” I assured her, but she just raised her eyebrow as a hand went to her hip and the ‘you’re lying to me; spit it out’ look took over her lovely features.

“Alright, alright; I give. I’ll tell you at lunch, k?” I was already walking backwards as I spoke to her, looking down at my Hello Kitty watch and realizing I’d have to run most likely to get to math before the bell. The sound of the warning bell hit my hears just as Mina nodded and then I was gone; taking off down the halls to get yet another class filled with sickeningly sweet couples. Joy.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Second period went surprisingly well seeing as we switched seats and I was no longer around the ‘I love you’ couple but instead some of the idiots of class. Sure they could be somewhat annoying and distracting, but it was better than being in front of Casey and having to listen to her giggles as she text messaged her latest fling of the month. That girl goes through more guys than pairs of socks and after having to sit next to her for the whole second semester I’m relieved to be away from her.

As for third period, well nothing much goes on in PE since we were all too busy trying not to get yelled at by Mrs. Smith. Today, seeing as it’s Wednesday (run-day-fun-day), she’s in full blown drill sergeant mode; telling us to run faster or she’ll drop our grade a whole letter. Seriously, that woman is a total monster when it comes to running. From third period PE on the way to fourth period band, I met up with Mina, a smile bright on my face as I hugged her.

“What are we doing in PE?” she asked as I walked towards the locker room, waving and smiling at people walking by. I saw David walk towards us, talking with Steven about something he saw on TV the other night and I smiled at him, a quick hug from him leaving me warm and a light pink tinting my cheeks.

“You like him, don’t you?” Mina asked me and I stumbled over my footing which made her laugh. “Well, do you?” she inquired with a smile that screamed out she knew me all too well.

“Well I guess. Maybe a little,” I muttered shyly, the timid behavior from my younger years coming back in this moment of weakness.

“I’ve heard from some people that he likes you too,” she told me in a sing-song voice and my head perked up which made her all-knowing smile only grow more.

“Really?”

“Yeah and I even heard him talking about you a couple of times. If you want I can talk to him about you and see what he says,” Mina offered and I smiled brightly at her. Now not even the annoyingly bright, clear skies could get me down.

“Mina, you’re like some love Guru. I love you babe.” It was my own way of thanking her, saying those words. I guess that even if I claimed I didn’t need anyone and thought that young ‘love’ was useless, my heart didn’t stop beating harder as I thought of the maybes.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

As if school wasn’t bad enough, then I had to go home and deal with Danielle and her boyfriend. It’s not like I’m not happy for them because I honestly am glad that they make each other happy. I simply sometimes wish they didn’t have to express it so much and all the time. No matter where they are, they always have to be cuddling each other and are always so seemingly happy and easy going around each other and I guess It makes me feel kinda lonely.

It sucks to feel lonely when all around you; you’re surrounded by happy-go-lucky people that have ‘fallen’ for each other. Really it makes me wonder if maybe something is just wrong with me. With the height running through my family it can make it hard for me to find someone, but as Mina’s mom told me; it doesn’t matter the guy’s height as long as he can still be confident standing next to me even if I’m in heels. Luckily for me though, there’s no problem with my height and David because he’s actually taller than me. In all honesty it was probably his height that attracted me to him first and then as I got to know him better and we became friends I realized just how much more he had to offer.

He’s sweet and caring and can be funny, almost always bring a smile to my lips

Like a giant teddy bear. I thought before hearing sweet whispers of ‘I love you’ coming from the couch and my smile fell. With an annoyed sigh, I left the kitchen, walking past the couch and trying not to roll my eyes. There they were, Danielle and Chetan, curled up on the couch with the TV on but they weren’t watching it; too wrapped up in one another to notice much else. I headed up stairs with a book in hand; planning to read the day away.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

The next morning, just like the others, brought smiles, hellos, and warm hugs that provided a short escape from the bitter winter chill that ran straight to my bones. My fingers were well past numb and I knew that walking into science would make them sting from the sudden change to warmth. A grimace took over my expression as I thought of not only how my fingers would ache in the first period, but also how I would have to deal with Paul and Emily.

“What a lovely expression so early in the morning,” Mina joked, a smile on her face as she looked up at me. All grim thoughts went void from my mind as I embraced her in a hug, my smiled actually reaching my eyes.

“Mornin’ babe.” Well fell into a conversation, the number of people in the quad adding up as the minutes went by.

“Oh! So I talked to David!” Mina suddenly announced, making me and the surrounding people jump. I shot her a look and gestured to the people around us which made her blush before dragging her away to a more secluded area.

“Well?” I implied, checking my watch and realizing that we only had a couple of minutes left before the bell rang.

Mina paused, looking around and checking for people that may be listening as if the topic we were discussing was a top secret. This made my eyes narrow slightly as I held back my annoyance. As much as I love this girl, sometimes she just doesn’t know when to spit it out especially if the clock was ticking.

“He says he likes you,” Mina finally told me before the bell rang and everyone began to slowly walk towards class as if it were a contest to see who could get to their first period class last. Mina slowly began to join the crowd, promising me that she would tell me more at lunch before she was lost in the crowd and I was left to walk to science.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

The wait for lunch was much too long, leaving me way too much time to my thoughts. Scenarios were rushing through my imagination, all of them hopeful which made me wonder just what was going on in my head. Just a couple of days ago I was ready to be done with all of this mushy lovey stuff, but now that is affected me… well, I wasn’t sure I was happy. I know that despite the crush I had on David I probably (*cough* definitely *cough*) wouldn’t be falling in love with him so part of me wondered why I should even try.

To see if maybe you an make this relationship thing work. I wondered before sighing and walking over to Mina.

“Come on, lets go for a walk,” she said before we turned away from the benches and headed out towards the black top.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

By the time 6th period had rolled along, I knew everything that was going on with David and couldn’t help but blush whenever I looked at him. Mina had told me that he liked me, but didn’t want to rush anything which I found to be extremely sweet. The more I thought on the matter though, the more I realized that my head was turning to mush just like Emily’s had. Now she’s some love sick girl that ‘can’t live without her baby’ for even a couple of hours. With a shudder, I cleared my mind and turned my attention back to the front of the class. I’ll chew off my left hand before I let thinking about some guy drop my grade.

For the rest of the period, I paid all attention to the teacher; trying not to think about David and how nice he always was to me. When the bell rang I joined the mad rush of people trying to get out of the classroom and we all filed o out into the quad. Like always, I met up with Mina, both of us glad that the day was finally over. We were walking towards the front of the school when David came up to us and asked if he could talk to me… alone.

My heart started beating harder and in a loss of words, I nodded; Mina giving me two thumbs up and goofy smile as I followed behind him. David led me away from the crowds of people, the friends I passed by smiling and gesturing towards the guy in front of me. This made me face grow hot with embarrassment and I’m sure that by the time David came to a stop my face was bright red and I pretty much refused to look at him.

“You okay Rachel?” he asked, looking at me curiously which only made my face grow hotter. Once again my voice failed me and I was left nodding at the ground. My lack of talking and him wondering if something was wrong with me made the situation rather awkward and all I wanted to do was get away from this area and talk to Mina. Being around her always helps clear my mind and just let loose and forget about things if only for a while.

“So I was uh… wondering if maybe you’d like to um… go out with me,” David finally said and my head shot up so fast I heard it crack. Shock was written all over my face and he was rubbing the back of his neck nervously. I couldn’t help but laugh at how shy he looked before nodding my head.

“Yeah,” I said. “I’d like that.” David’s whole face lit up with a smile and I could tell he was pleased with my answer almost as much as I was pleased that he liked me. He hugged me before pulling away and checking the time on his phone.

“I have to go to practice now, but I’ll text you tonight since I know you don’t like talking on the phone,” David told me which a small laugh and I smiled before walking back towards where I knew Mina would be; the smile still on my face when I reached her. Of course she was happy for me and when I got home I was still happy; for once not bothered by Danielle and Chetan. Later that night, just like he promised; David sent me a text message.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

It took a couple of days for everyone to realize that we were going out so by the time the weekend was over and Monday had come along, they had finally stopped asking if we were or not. That was probably the most annoying thing, everyone coming up to us and asking if we were going out and then asking for how long. Well, seeing as David had asked me out Wednesday, it was now day five and people still couldn’t keep to themselves. Worse part being, everything seemed to be moving in some slow mode for me which just made the days longer and the people coming up to me and asking that much more irritating.

By the time the day was over with I was snapping at people which made David laugh before telling me to calm down. I’ve never been Miss Popular, so all of the attention was kinda like a rush for me and it was annoying. Really I don’t see why people live to always have people with their noses up your butt; monitoring everything step they took.

I listened to David though, or at least, I tried to listen and take his advice in calming down. Whenever someone asked, I would just ignore them, letting him answer for him while my grip on his hand tightened slightly before letting up when the person was gone from my eyesight. Did these people have no life? Was there nothing more interesting for them to do aside from swarm around me and David and ask every question possible?!

Usually I would go home right after school so I could escape the madness of the situation, but today I’m staying after and have a feeling the dull ache in the back of my head was just beginning

“Don’t look so happy to be spending the afternoon with me,” David teased and I smiled weakly for him, tired from the long day and ready for a good night’s sleep.

“Sorry it’s just been such a long day. I’m not used to all of this attention,” I admitted with a blush, looking down at my hand that was clasped in his. The other hand was left cold and feeling empty so I shoved it into my pant pocket.

After laughing, David spoke with a smile. “Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it. Come on, lets go sit down.” We moved towards a couch that was off to the side of the room where we could talk and avoid the masses. There was on other couple on the couch opposite to us, but they were too wrapped up in each other to bother us. For the rest of the afternoon, or at least until around 5:30, we just sat and talked; a smile never leaving my face even as I rode home later that day.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

The next morning was very similar to Monday. In fact, so was Wednesday morning except now people were starting to leave us alone and stopped coming up to us to ask if we were going out. Honestly it’s been a week and with the way news travels around this school; pretty much everyone should’ve known by Friday.

“What’d you get on the mile?” David asked, wrapping his arm around my shoulders as he walked me to my next class. My skin was still hot, my face tinted pink, and I really didn’t want him adding any more heat, but it wouldn’t do a any good to nudge his arm off in case it upset him.

“Uh, ten something,” I mumbled, slightly out of breath. My head felt light as we walked on and I was glad to be able to lean on David even if it was just slightly.

“Dang Rachel, think you could run any slower?” he asked with a laugh and I felt my eyebrow twitch up in irritation.

“Well excuse me for not being on steroids like you,” I spat out, walking faster and out of his grasp. I heard David sigh before taking a few quickly steps to catch back up with me; causing me to stop.

“I’m sorry babe, I was just joking around. I know you haven’t been feeling well and It’s been effecting your running and stuff,” he apologized with a smile. He was right about me not feeling well and how it’s been affecting me. Lately my stomach has been bothering me, kind of like a gut ache and sometimes a sharp cramp here and there.

I simply nodded tiredly in response to his apology before he gave me a quick hug and was gone Practically dragging myself there, I made my way to fourth period; glad that at least one more period was over meaning this horrible school day was coming to an end as well.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

By the time Friday had rolled along, I was simply glad that the week was finally over with and I would be able to get away from all the stress of school and just relax for a couple of days.

“Hey, Rae!” David called after me, gripping my hand in his when he finally caught up; always walking close to me.

“Trying to run off,” he teased and I let out a weak laugh that was painfully fake.

“Never,” I assured him dryly and David simply smiled. When I didn’t return the smile, his fell off his face as a look of seriousness fell over him.

“What’s wrong babe?” My fingers twitched upon hearing him call me ‘babe’. I do have a name after all.

“Nothing, it’s just been a long week,” I lied, hoping that David would buy it and just drop the subject.

As of late, he hasn’t been making things very easy on me. “You’re a horrible liar,” he pointed out and I sighed, pushing my bangs out of my eyes.

“Yeah, I know,” I agreed with a small laugh as well which I could tell made David lighten up if only a little.

“Would seeing a movie tomorrow make you feel any better? The Unborn came out and I hear it didn’t totally suck so we can see that,” he suggested and I felt my heart beat quicken.

Oh my gosh. He’s asking me out on a date.

I scrambled for something to say and finally nodded, a smile spreading across my face. “Yeah, that sounds great,” I told him an he too smiled. I saw my mom pull up out of the corner of my eye and told him good bye with a hug.

“I’ll text you tomorrow around noon so we can set up a time,” David said as I was getting into the car. With a nod, followed by a quick wave, I pulled away from the school. The moment my seat belt was buckled, my fingers were typing away at my phone; egger to tell Mina the great news.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Since the movies tonight is technically my first date and it’s to a dark movie theater; my mom has my sister and Chetan tagging along just to make sure me and David don’t do anything. Really I don’t see what good Danielle and Chetan will do ‘watching’ us since the last movie they went to see together; they were making out the whole time. Honestly if my mom wanted them to set some kind of ‘example’ of how to act in a movie theater she picked like some of the worse people possible to do so. Though if David tries to pull anything like that on me, I’ll push him away an say no because it’d be moving way too quickly for my taste.

For that reason alone, I’m glad Danielle and Chetan are coming because at least then I don’t have to worry about being completely alone if David does try something. I don’t think he will though since he himself did say that he didn’t want to rush things. Still, it doesn’t hurt to take some precautions.

As my mom pulled up in front of the movie theater, my heart started beating faster when I spotted David waiting for me a couple of feet away from the line.

“Now you all behave,” my mom ordered somewhat sternly, but the smile still stayed on her face. I knew she was happy for me being on my first date and all. We all got out of the car and I led the way towards David, a smile spreading across his face when he spotted me.

“Hey Rachel,” he greeted me with a hug before turning to the other two people behind me.

“David, this is my sister Danielle and her boyfriend Chetan. They’ve been wanting to see The Unborn as well so it just works out t have them come along,” I explained; leaving out the fact that I was slightly nervous about being alone with him. I’d love to say that if David tried to kill me I’d know what to do whether it be pull back or kiss him back; but I really don’t know.

Swallowing my nerves and trying to ignore the butterflies corrupting my stomach, I took David’s hand and followed him into the theater.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

When Monday rolled along I was ready to begin a new week, having gotten a good night’s sleep. Mine and David’s movie date last Saturday night had gone well, not really any awkwardness except for when Chetan started asking some odd questions or when him and Danielle would start kissing and my mind when into over-drive on what David though of them. Through the movie he only had his arm wrapped around my shoulders which was comfortable enough for me.

Really I’m just glad that things like our date didn’t get spread around the school so I didn’t have to worry about putting up with a million and two games of 20 Questions.

“Hey Rachel! So at lunch you totally have to tell me all the details on the movie date,” Mina warned me as we started heading towards our first period classes after the bell had rung. I simply laughed and told her I would before heading off to class. I felt arms wrap around me from behind and was going to let out a small scream of surprise when a familiar warmth spread through me and I recognized who it was at once.

“Morning David,” I greeted him, turning around to smile at him and give him a hug.

“How do you always know it’s me?” I had to think about this one for a moment because how was I supposed to tell some 8th grade boy that just being around him made butterflies stir in my stomach like none over had ever before and his touch made me feel warm and content. So, to spare him some long explanation, I simply smiled and told him that his hugs were soft like a teddy bear and unlike any other.

“A teddy bear? Do me a favor and don’t tell the guys that, k?” David asked and I just laughed before nodding. We parted ways to head to class and I made it just before the bell rang. For once though, I wasn’t annoyed by Paul and Emily but actually glad that they were so happy together.

My god, what is being with David doing to my head?

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Wednesday came quickly and I found myself slightly surprised that David and I had made it a whole two weeks especially without running into any seriously relationship drama. Seriously I thought some guy would’ve gotten bored of me by now or thought that I was too much to handle since I do have a lot of personality, but he was still there; holding my hand and sitting with me at lunch. It was while David was walking me to third period, however, that the relationship drama finally caught up with us and like a smack to the face.

Turns out that someone who I thought at one point had been my friend was spreading rumors that I had done some stuff with David. Even better, she’s his ex girlfriend. To say that I was mad would be an understatement since I was fuming.

“Rachel, baby, you need to calm down,” David tried to tell me, a hand placed on my shoulder reassuringly. But I just shoved his hand off me, turning to glare at him.

“Don’t tell me to calm down. I’m gonna be mad if I want to be mad and I have every right to be mad!” I snapped, not caring that some people were looking over at us. I quickly turned from him and began storming off towards the girl’s locker room; knowing that his ex was changing at the locker right next to my own.

“I’m sorry babe, I just really think you’re taking this too seriously,” he apologized, jogging slightly to keep up with my fast pace. I froze upon hearing his words and spun to glare daggers at him. My mouth opened, most likely to give him a piece of my mind on taking something like this too seriously, but instead I just closed it again and kept walking; not even bothering to wave.

No, I had bigger problems to deal with than just waving good bye to my boyfriend.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

“Can you believe it Mina?! She just came right out and admitted it!” I yelled, pacing back and forth on the grass while said friend just sat down and stared up at me.

“She’s obviously just jealous of you being with him. She is his ex girlfriend after all,” Mina reminded me.

“Yeah, ex as in no longer. As in like: that was three months ago! Get over it!” Even yelling however, was not getting out my anger and I just wanted to hit something really really hard.

“And then David has the nerve to tell me to ‘calm down’ because I’m ‘taking this too seriously’! Are you freaking kidding me! Ugh sometimes he can just be so irritating!” I stopped pacing then and sat down on the ground with a huff, arms crossed and eyebrows furrowed together as I glared at nothing.

“Then break up with him,” Mina stated simply as if we were talking about the weather. I opened my mouth to argue with her and tell her a hundred reasons why that was a bad idea, but I found myself closing my mouth again in a loss of words.

“Can I do that? Just break up with him because him trying to control me bugs me?” I asked softly, still not completely sure on how relationships truly worked.

“Well sure you can Rachel! You can end a relationship any time you want and for any reason. It doesn’t matter what the guy wants if you’re not the happy one. You being happy will always come before him being happy,” Mina told me with a soft smile before adding in, “Besides, he’s been kinda annoying me too. He’s always talking about you and really it’s just sickening now. Not that I don’t love you, I just don’t need to hear about you all the time.”

“He talks about me a lot?” I asked, really beginning to think over my relationship with David.

“Yeah and he won’t stop. That boy is like a love sick puppy; clinging to anything he can get a hold of and not letting go for dear life,” Mina said off handedly, looking down at her nails and examining them. All the while my mind was reeling with all of this new information and I found it hard to really wrap my mind around it. The bell eventually rang and I walked to my next class in silence, not even bothering to lie to David to tell him I was fine when he asked me at least a million times on the way to sixth period; one thought going through my mind on reply:

Is being with David really what I want?

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Thursday I devoted to studying the way David acted around me compared to how he acted around others and I found that he almost acted the same except more cuddly and hand holding with me. He still told everyone to calm down except they would actually do it which honestly bugged the crap out of me. Have some back bone people! He’s just one guy and doesn’t have the right to tell you what to do!

At lunch when I was staring off into nothing and tapping my foot against the ground hurriedly in some unknown beat, David came up to me and told me that I needed to calm down. Not even bothering to hold back, I turned towards him and snapped.

“No, I don’t need to calm down. In fact, I don’t want to calm down and I’m tired of you telling me to.” He looked slightly taken back, but I didn’t care actually. I didn’t care if I was hurting his feelings or not because I was sick and fed up with playing all nice and ‘nothing you do annoys me’ because it’s just some lie. Sure when things started out with David I really did like him, but now that I’m seeing things in a new light, I’m not so sure about those feelings anymore.

By the time I got home, I was wondering what really attracted me to David in the first place. Well, sitting on the couch was my reason and for once I was glad he was here. There was Chetan, curled up next to Danielle and holding her hand as they watched TV together and I noticed how happy he always made her.

I guess that seeing them always so happy together made me wonder if I could be happy like that with my boyfriend. When it comes to cute, cuddly, and always by your side, David certainly fit the bill. Throughout the two weeks we’ve been together, he’s always been by my side; but now I’m realizing that maybe it was a little too much. After all, he was teaching his little brother to say my name and at the time it had been sweet; but looking back now I see that it’s a little weird since I really do doubt that I’ll be seeing his little brother any time soon. He was always holding my hand, but now I realize that it was kind of annoying since I like talking with my hand and am usually pulling up my sleeves which I need two hands for and couldn’t do with one of them stolen.

With his arm always wrapped around my shoulder it made it hard to get away sometimes or do something and looking back, I feel almost as if I was being held back from doing something by his grasp. As for telling me to calm down, well I’ve already explained how that makes me feel. All in all, David is, well, clingy and the perfect boyfriend for a girl who wants her guy by her side at all times. It’s just too bad that I’m not that kind of girl and that I’m going to have to end things.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

All Friday lunch was spent with Mina, explaining to her my reasons for wanting to break up with David and making sure that they all were good ones. No matter what she said about the reasons not mattering, I still wanted to have good ones so I could answer any questions David might throw at me. And as the end of the day grew nearer, the hoard of butterflies in my stomach grew worse and worse as the break up drew nearer and nearer. Through most of the day, I wondered if David was catching any of the signs that I was planning on breaking up with him. Like me staying away from him and shying away from his touch. Always staying quiet but when I talked it came out in harsh words.

It was when I was walking towards where I heard he was that I began to get cold feet and really feel bad about what I was about to do. Technically David had done nothing wrong, it just wasn’t the right treatment for me. I know that he’ll say he can change and a part of me really does want to believe him; but I just know that he won’t. A caring and kind type of guy is probably what David will always be and he’ll make a great husband, just not that great of an 8th grade boyfriend for me.

With that thought in mind, I pulled him aside and broke the news; noting that his eyes started to shine with wetness as I told him that I’d rather just be friends and that things just weren’t working out. No questions were asked, and instead he just nodded. I hugged David good bye before walking over to where my mom was waiting, feeling a weight life from my shoulders as I let out a sigh of relief.

“Well, I’m single again,” I announced to my mom when I got into the car and it actually felt good to say those two words again. Guys are just too much baggage in my go-go-go life anyway. Still, it was nice while it lasted.

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Yeah so I wrote this for school and figured that I might as well post it. No there will not be another chapter because this is a one shot of some type. Hope everyone enjoyed and this was actually written based off my last relationship so it’s too awkward now for me to even try to read through it since my feelings for my ex have changed so much.

Please review!
