MNL-Chapter 6

;) hehe. I love this chapter.

Chapter 6

It’s been a couple of days since Jonathan was a suspended, but he was coming back today. That really sucked for me. I’m just glad that Alex has been by my side for the last couple of days. Michelle has been leaving me alone. That is a greatest thing in the world to me. I actually think she is done torturing me, but I have no idea if I’m right. I feel the only reason was because Jonathon hasn’t been in school.

I did get to make fun of her a little bit a few days ago because she asked Alex to hang out. He turned her down flat and told her that he would never hang out with her ever. She looked so sad that it was pathetic, but I honestly don’t really care.

When I walked into the school I ran to my locker as quickly as possible. I didn’t want Jonathan to see him. He sent a text a couple of days ago. I didn’t respond to it. He told me that he wanted to talk to me, but I didn’t want to talk to him. Why should I talk to someone that slapped me across the face? After I didn’t respond for a few hours he sent me another one. He told me that he wanted to tell me something really important.

Nicole arrived at my locker a few minutes later. She always comes to my locker in the morning. I gave her the biggest smile that I could muster. She could tell that there was something wrong. She gave me a questioning look. “What’s wrong? Are you doing alright?”

“I’ll be fine. I have no idea why, but Jonathan wants to talk to me. I have nothing to say to him. He says it’s important. I really wish he wasn’t coming back to school today. I’m just a bit scared to be around him,” I responded. I shook a little bit. I really hope he’s not going to hit me again. He hopefully learned his lesson.

“I wouldn’t talk to him if I were you. It seems like he’s trying to be sincere, but he most likely isn’t. I have a feeling he is just going to yell at you. You shouldn’t let him control any of your actions.”

“I know, but I am going to run into him again eventually.”

“That is very true. Just try to avoid him for now.”

“I will try my hardest to avoid him for as long as possible. I don’t want to talk to him anyway. He is being a jerk. I really don’t deserve that kind of treatment. I’m just scared he will hit me again because he got suspended.”

“You’re right. Well I’ll see you a little later. I really need to drop off this project so I don’t have to carry it around until fifth period. Be careful, avoid Jonathan as much as you can, and hurry on to class,” Nikki responded waving as she ran off. I smiled and waved back. I was glad that Nikki was there. She always knew what to say to make me feel better. That’s why we have been best friends since kindergarten.

I closed my locker and Alex was standing right next to me. He had a really huge smile on his face. His cool calm demeanor sent a shiver down my spine. I shook a little, but I didn’t say anything for the first couple of minutes. I was still really tired and didn’t have much to say. I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night because I was nervous about today. I yawned a little. “Hey Alex, are you ready to go to class? I don’t want to run into Jonathan. He’s coming back today which sucks. He wants to talk to me, but I don’t want to talk to him. I have no idea what it’s about.”

“Sure, we can do whatever you want. You don’t have to worry. I won’t let him hurt you if we bump into him. I’m sure we will bump into him sometime today,” Alex responded. He sounded so sure that we were going to bump into him. I put a hand over my chest and prayed that I wouldn’t run into him.

As Alex and I walked to class we ran into Michelle. I rolled my eyes as she tried to talk to Alex. He was ignoring everything that she was saying. He doesn’t like her. Why would he talk to someone he doesn’t like? He may be new, but he isn’t an idiot. He could see the type of personality that Michelle has. She was bossy, pushy, and bratty. Who in their right mind would want to be friends with someone like that? If I was a male I wouldn’t be with someone like her either.

“Alex, can you please stop ignoring me and listen,” she asked with tears starting to form in her eyes. I still didn’t feel bad for her. Michelle wants every man that she sees to be wrapped around her little finger. That’s not how the world works. Sure, she’s pretty, but her attitude is what pushes men away. Most of the guys in class try to stay away from her except for Jonathan. I still don’t know what Jonathan sees in this girl.

“Fine, I’m listening,” Alex responded in a harsh tone. I was surprised when he actually responded. My guess was that he was getting annoyed with her trying to talk to him. She tried every single day and every time he refused to talk to her. Alex has only been in school for about 4 or 5 days now and a lot of people are trying to be his friend. He shuns a lot of the girls. I feel like the only reason is because he’s shy.

“I was just wondering if you would like to come to my party on Sunday. You don’t have to dress fancy or anything, but my family is throwing a party. Would you like to go,” she asked.

“Thank you for the invite, but no. I refuse to ever go to any party of yours.”

“What if I invited Aubrey? Would you come,” Michelle asked. She had tears in her eyes again.

“No, I still wouldn’t come. I doubt Aubrey would go to a party you threw. You had your boyfriend hit her. Jonathan was dating her first, wasn’t he? Why don’t you just back off and leave me alone? I don’t like girls like you. You act as if you are the best person in the world, but the fact is you are one of the worst,” Alex responded. He was right. I would never go to a party that Michelle was hosting. In fact I would never go to a party that she was also invited too.

Michelle looked completely hurt and for some reason I felt bad for her. I was surprising myself. Those words were true, but Alex probably shouldn’t have told her that. Alex started to walk away and I ran up to catch up with him. I looked back at Michelle and she glared at me. “Alex, maybe you shouldn’t have said that.”

“Aubrey, she deserved to hear those words. Maybe she will try to change her personality. I know she wants to be my friend, but I have no need for friends like that. I also don’t like the way she treats you either.”

“I don’t like the way she treats me either,” I responded and looked down at the floor. We went to first period. That was the slowest period of the day. I had a lot on my mind.

Alex wasn’t walking with me after school today because he told me he had something to do. I didn’t feel safe without him walking with me. I sighed and went to my locker alone. I could see a figure leaning against my locker. The figure was Jonathan. I really wanted to run in the opposite direction, but I couldn’t. I don’t want to miss my bus.

“Please move away from my locker,” I asked him. When he refused to move I gave him a little shove. He gave me a sad look.

“Please, may I talk to you? I know you must hate me, but I have something really important to say,” he said softly.

“I really don’t want to hear anything you have to say.”

“Please just listen,” he yelled, gripped my shoulders tightly, and then pushed me up against my locker. I looked down at the ground. I didn’t like how close Jonathan was to me right now.

“Fine, I’ll listen, but you better leave me alone after this,” I said with a little bit of anger in my tone.

“I really want to apologize to you. I know I have been treating you horribly lately. I didn’t want to hurt you, but honestly I was starting to lose love for you. I now realize that being away from you is driving me crazy. I miss you being in my arms. I miss holding you tight when you were upset. You were there for me through everything. Michelle is not half the girl you are. I should never have said that Michelle was better than you. I mean she has been there for me, but she isn’t as tender as you are. When I hold her I don’t feel the warmth that I felt with you. I am thinking about breaking up with her. I want to be with you again. I want to hold you. I want to be the first person you think about in the morning. Please forgive me. I’m sorry I broke your heart. I was stupid. I know why you have been upset lately…I know your older brother was important,” he responded. I had tears welling up in my eyes. I pushed his hands off my shoulders. I was thinking about what he just said to me. I know he was the first person I have been with, but I don’t love him as much as I used to. He broke my heart and does he really expect me to take him back?

“No, I don’t want to get back together with you. I’m sorry and I know we had been together for a long time. You broke my heart and chose someone else over me. You broke up with me to be with a girl like Michelle. You two deserve each other. You hit me because I wasn’t going to apologize to her. How do you think that made me feel? You need to leave me alone,” I said and tried to walk away, but he grabbed my shoulder again.

Out of nowhere I felt an arm come around my waist. I was being pulled away from Jonathan. I was being held in someone else’s arms. I felt the person put his lips on mine. I was being kissed!
