Chapter 2
JPOV
I heard the bell ring so I dragged my butt out of the bathroom and down to the band room. Ms. Traugh noticed me.
"Josh! You were picked to go to band camp with nine other students."
"That's great."
"Yup. Christmas break for five days in Miami."
"That's not camp that's a vacation. But what about Christmas?"
"Don't worry it's on the twenty-sixth."
"Ok"
"Here are the applications." Ms. Traugh handed me all of the applications. This just made my day. Skye walked into the room. Things got awkward and there was absolute silence.
"Josh? Can we talk?" oh god. I hate that phrase. With me things always turn out bad, like I get dumped.
"sure." We went outside of the room.
"So…" she started. It seems like she's struggling. "You like me?" my face turned red. I just nodded. "Since when?"
"Sixth grade."
"aw." I blushed even more. "Um you know my friend Jen?"
"Yeah."
"Well she likes you so…"
"Ah, I see. You dating me would be a stab in the back for her."
"Yeah maybe."
"I'll go out with her."
"Huh?"
"I'll ask her out."
"But…What?"
"Look I'll never not have a crush on you, but your obviously not going to go out with me, and someone likes me so why not give her a chance?"
"I don't want Jen to get hurt."
"Don't worry."
"Ok well… I'll see you later."
"See you." She walked away. Great now I have to ask her friend out.
SPOV
Josh took that pretty well. He's usually not that good with rejections. Josh and Jen have a class together next period. He better ask her out. Eighth period I went up to Jen.
"Hey Jen."
"Omigosh! Josh asked me out!"
"Seriously?"
"Yes!"
"Well that's… great." Why am I not feeling so happy for her? I sighed.
~9 months later~
Josh and Jen have been together for nine months. I grew tired of them so I just broke myself away. Josh and I had a huge fight, it was horrible! I don't even remember what it was about. It's June and I'm cramming for finals and regents. I miss studying with josh. We always joked around and never got anything done. I guess I do really like him more than a friend. I'm in the middle of science now, watching josh and Jen make kissy faces and pass notes. It's disturbing. Good thing this is our last day, but it will be the longest day ever. A whole summer without josh. I won't be able to live. I should talk to him. I walked up to josh.
"Josh?"
"What?" It hurt him to talk to me, but I wanted to get this over with. His response pinned through me like needles.
"What happened to us exactly?"
"I don't know."
"Well I kind of want us to be friends."
"Why."
"Cause, I miss you." His expression changed.
"You miss me? I miss you! I miss every little thing about you. That's why I fell in love with you." His voice got lower. "And still am." Josh still liked me? This is going to be an interesting summer.
