Chapter 3
I do not own anything. The only things I own are a pen and 223.5 pieces of paper. The only characters I own are Juliet/Jewls, Charlotte, and Dalton. By the way, shout out to any people who live in Selkirk, or go to ESJH. Go Suns! Lol, like I would be on a team.
I pretend to listen as my mother goes on and on about how mean I am, and how I don't deserve to live in this house, and blah blah blah. Finaly, she finishes and I leave for school where I get to see my friends and boyfriend. For me, school is the best place to be. I go to Ecole Selkirk Junior High, a.k.a ESJH, home of the Selkirk Suns. Not like I'm on a team or anything. Dalton is on the basketball and volleyball teams, and Charlotte is on the volleyball team. Most likely they'll be on the Royals vollyball teams when we go to the high school called the Comp.
Once I finally get to school and off the bus, I immediately see Charlotte and Dalton together by the flag pole. I run over to them and say hi.
"Hey Dalton, hey Charpie." Everyone calles her that because she has really dark hair, like it was coloured with a sharpie.
"Hey Jewls." they both say. For some reason they looked guilty. Suddenly it dawned on me that they were talking abou Dalton's surprise for me.
"Are you guys talking about the surprise?"
Dalton looked at Charlotte and asked nervously "You told her?"
"No! Of course not!"
"Don't worry guys, I don't know what it is."
Just then, the bell rang for class and we ran to our home-room. Honestly, I don't remember a single ting from any classes. Everyting's a blur. I cannot wait untill I get to the park!
As soon as I get to the park, I go to our usual spot by the ice-cream stand. I wait for about five minutes, then I see Dalton walking over. I go to the little shop and ask for two cookie and cream cones, which is our favorite.
"Hey Jewls." he says.
"Hey. I got our favorite." I say with a smile.
He looks at the cone and says "Thanks, but you might want to keep it untill I'm done talking."
"Oh, okay." I say uncertanly.
"There's no easy way to tell you this, so I'll just say it. The reason I asked you to meet me here is that I wanted to tell you...to tell you I don't want to go out with you anymore."
I can hear him, but I'm not really listening. He doesn't want to go out with me anymore? Why? Did I do something wrong? I would gladly change for him! Maby I'm not good enough for him. I'm not listening, but suddenly I hear him say "someone else".
"There's someone else?" I whisper. I didn't realize it before, but tears are streaming down my face.
"Yes, there's someone else."
"Who?"
"You don't want to know."
"Damnit Dalton! At least tell me the truth about that!"
He mumbles something, but I don't want to believe I heard it right. "What did you say." I said in a hoarse whisper.
"I said Charlotte."
"Why?"
"I don't know."
"You said you loved me! I thought you loved me!"
"I thought I loved you too, but that was before I met Charlotte."
I remember that day perfectly. We were at Dairy Queen, and we bumped into Charlotte while we were eating our banana cream pie blizzard. She sat down and we all talked. When I got home, she called me and said that I had good taste in boys. I laughed it off then, but Charlotte always got what she wanted. Including boys.
"I'm sorry Jewls-"
"Do not call me Jewls! Only my friends call me that."
"Come on! We can still be friends, can't we?" Listening to that is like getting slapped across the face.
"Friends? Hmm, let me see. You've been cheating on me for almost a year with my soon-to-be ex-best friend. You said you loved me, when, really, you love Charlotte! No Dalton, I'm pretty damn sure we can't be friends!" I look at the cones and see that they're melted. Perfect. I take the cones and shove them in his face and run.
"You go girl!" the womand at the ice-cream counter yells.
"What the hell was that for Juliet?" he yells.
"For just being you." I yell back.
