Jo's POV.
As soon as the bell went I ran straight home as fast as my own two feet would carry me. Never In my life had I felt so stupid and humilated. I was soo naive. Taking a photo of someone and putting it on your wallpaper does not mean that they will fall in love with you! It was in class during free time when I took Gabe's phone and he wrestled me to the ground for it. My phone slipped out and then Eva saw it. Great! Everyone knows that I have a crush on Gabe including Gabe himself. But the worst was yet to come when he said that he didn't know he liked me and then kissed me! Infront of the whole school and then his girlfriend came along and kissed him. I felt like I had just been punched in the stomach.
The guy I like has a girlfriend. And now everywhere I went for the rest of the day their were people laughing at me. I felt like a loser. I carried on running further and further looking at the ground and not where I was going. With one swoop I slipped and landed face first on the ground next to a puddle. Could life get any worse? Apparently it did when some stupid idiot swerved his truck close to the pavement at full speed leaving me splashed with muddy water all over.
I looked down at my jeans and noticed that they were almost soaked in blood. I had grazed both knees really badly during my epic fall.
That was the final straw. I had practically exploded with anger by Fury raced through my body, heating me to my very core and igniting a flame so hot within my heart that I almost screamed in anger.
Hot tears trickled down my face. Not in the sadness that I'd felt previous to this knowledge, but in an anger so strong it was clouding my common sense.I swung the door wide open and slammed it shut with such force the glass window cracked.
"Jo! Is that you?" asked my mum.
I marched up the stairs to my bedroom in the attic and heard my phone vibrate. I looked at the picture I had of Gabe. I hated him! How dare he humilate me in front of everybody like that? I am his best friend! The stupid jerk! And with that I threw my cell phone and it smashed into a thousand pieces. If mum finds out she will kill me! Then make me pay with my allowance towards replacing it. Well see if i care.
"Jo! Oh my-what happened to you?" gasped my older sister Hailey
"Nothing," I mumbled kneeling down to pick up my smashed phone pieces.
"Jo you're wet, you smell and you're phone's damaged! That is definetly not nothing!" she argued.
"Ok, I might tell you when I look decent," I replied mooching off to the bathroom leaving a dripping muddy mess.
I came out of the bathroom five years later and simply threw on a plain white t-shirt and dark jeans. I sat on my bed and simply stared into space. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I buried my head in my pillow and sobbed softly for ages and when I was done I had a headache and blotchy red eyes.
"Jo? Can I come in?" asked Hailey poking her head through.
"No," I replied through the pillow but she let herself in anyway and sat next to me.
"Jo? What's wrong?" she asked full of concern. "Look whatever it is you can tell me? I am your sister."
"He...'s with somebody else," I suddenly choked out the words.
"Who is?"
So I told her everything right from the start about how I had a crush on Gabe and tried on the stupid charm thing.
"That's awful," she said hugging me and letting me rest my head on her shoulder. We simply sat their in silence. At least someone cared.
"Oh and hey what happened to your phone?" she asked.
"Broke it," i replied.
"Here use my spare one. Just don't break it will ya?" she asked.
"Ok," I answered.
