At first the thought of cheating on my boyfriend was a big 'no-no'. Of course I'm not saying that now it's okay, it's still very wrong and hurts the ones you love. I lost my virginity to my ex-boyfriend, his girlfriend would've freaked if she'd known. She wouldn't be too pleased if she knew that I was his first and he was mine. I was single at the time he was not.
Now I stare at the jacket sprawled out on my bed. 'Your mom took your jacket' was all the note said. Darrin, my current boyfriend, wouldn't be very happy if I showed up at school wearing Kevin's jacket. I decided not to wear it but take it to school to give back to Kevin.
"How was your night?" Darrin sat next to me on the bench outside the school. "Hope you slept well even though I wasn't there to hold you." Kevin was, I managed to keep my thoughts far away from my lips.
"Terrible, I froze to death all night long." I smiled and Darrin leaned forward to press his lips to mine. I remembered Kevin's lips, soft and sweet and I had to break the kiss between Darrin and I. the bell rang, making Darrins sentence carry away from my ears as I stood and walked away.
"Maci! Hey!" I ducked down a hall to avoid Mellissa, and found myself running straight into someone's chest. I felt their hand grip my wrist and pull me beside them.
"We need to talk." Kevin's voice was deep making me feel like a kindergartner in trouble for eating the play dough. He pulled me into an empty janitor's closet, closing the door and locking it. "Where's my jacket?"
"I put it in your locker." I mumbled looking up. Kevin's eyes darted around the small room looking anywhere but at me. "Kev I-"
"I can't, Mac. Terrah, she…I- we…I cheated on her. That makes two Maci, two girls I've cheated on for you." The words stung causing me to flinch. "I wish I could say that I want to still be friends, but that obviously didn't work out last time. Maybe if we just stop everything I... I won't fall for you again.' I held back my tears as Kevin turned to the door, unlocking it and pulling it open. "Bye, Maci."
I waited a very long time, it felt like years before I whipped my tears and left the room. "Miss Reed, hall pass?"
"No." I mumbled as Mr. Loop stopped me in the hall.
"You okay?" my eyes were probably really red from crying. "Maci, is everything alright?" I nodded slowly. "Go ahead to class, I'll just give you a warning." My footsteps echoed down the empty halls as I walked alone to my chemistry class. Kevin's words still ringing in my ears.
-chapter 2-
"Hey, are you coming over?" Mellissa asked as we walked through the crowded halls. The last bell rang, causing the students to turn into a herd of elephants scared of a mouse. Freshman moved out of the bigger kids' way, probably scared shit less of us.
"No, Darrin said he'd help me with homework, or… I'd help him. However that went down. I've got to find him first."
"Stadium bleachers." Justin spoke as he walked beside Mellissa and I. "He stayed there after PE." Justin smiled slightly before walking faster, leaving me and Mellissa.
I waved good-bye to Mellissa and headed for the stadium, passed the busses and teenage crazed drivers. "AHA! Darrin stop!' my heart pounded as I passed the door that lead under the bleachers. "When are you going to break up with her? I'm tired of being the 'other girl'." I starred quietly at Sarah whose body sat tangled with Darrin's.
"You can wait a little bit longer; I'm kinda scared to break up with her. She's funny as hell but scary as shit." Sarah smacked Darrin's arm. "Damn! Okay, okay I'll talk to her…next week?"
"It's been almost three months! Break up with her already!" I deserve this, I thought as I stepped through the doorway to let them know I was present.
"Don't bother, Darrin." I smiled. The two stood quickly, detangling themselves. "Looks like im not the only one.' I spoke aloud.
"Maci- wait what? You cheated on me?" Darrin stared, puzzled.
"Funny, cause I was prepared for you to be all pissed but you can't. You did the same thing. Though, three months? I remember us only being together for two and a half, interesting how that one works." I smiled at him, laughing bitterly. Bye, Darrin, Sarah. I have to be getting home." I turned on my heels, my smile dropping. "My day just keeps getting better."
