Chapter 5:
RUN!
I woke up in the morning, feeling tired. BMO was shaking me like crazy saying "Quick get up! Get up!" Ellen had to leave early to help the last minute group of new kids. "What is it?" I asked still half- asleep. "I've figured out who Finn is, and you need to get to him before he gets to Roselin!" she said. I sat up straight. "WHO IS HE TELL ME NOW!" I asked her kind of demandingly. "You know that kid frank?" She asked. "Yeah," I relied. "I think that's him!" she said. I jumped out of bed and opened my suitcase. I wore a loose, black and red striped top that didn't cover my shoulders, and a tank top under it. I threw on some jean shorts and some yellow converse. I brushed my hair and teeth rapidly, and put a black bow in my hair to top it all off. I dashed out of my room as fast as I could. I ran into Polly on my way over there. "Oops sorry!" I said. I helped her up. "It's okay. I see you're in a hurry." She told me. "Yeah the guy I like is about to ask out another girl and I have to tell him how I feel!" I told her. "Well go! I know there's nothing worse than heartbreak!" she said and nudged my back. I flew off again. BMO was right beside me. "I see him there in the courtyard!" she told me. "I also see Roselin with him run!" she said. I ran for my life. I passed Jake and overheard him saying "Oh no I know what she's about to do." I ran and ran so fast I felt my skin get hotter. I got close to him. I stopped and slowed down. I flattened down my hair. I walked over there, but it was too late. I saw him take out a rose, and ask her "Roselin will you be my girlfriend?" I turned and ran away, crying. I ran into BMO. She gave me a hug, and told me it was okay. Jake and Lady came over too. "I'm so sorry FP." Jake told me. Just then Finn came over with Roselin. "Hey guys guess who's officially a thing", he said. I started crying harder. BMO escorted me away, before Finn could see my crying. We ran into Polly on our way to the bathroom. "Did you not make it?" she asked me. "No," I told her. "It's not your fault though," I told her. "Hey, it's okay," she told me, giving me a hug. "OOH you're warm," she said jumping back all of a sudden, "Let's get you to the nurse." We walked, not to the nurse though, but into the bathroom. "FP it's me Prubs," she told me. "Oh okay," I told her. "Finn is the only one who doesn't know it's you, boys are clueless," she told me. "Oh," I said. "I can talk to him if you want," she told me. "No, if you love something, let it go, and if it truly loves you, it will come back," I said. "Okay but is there anything I can do for you?" she asked me. "No," I told her. "Okay good," she said, "Let's get you some water for you to cool down," she told me. "Okay," I said. "Oh I like your top by the way," BMO told me as we walked to the cafeteria. "Thanks," I told her. I just then noticed BMO was wearing a teal hoodie, with a polka- dot purple shirt under it, with some black leggings, and blue Nike tennis shoes. Prubs was wearing a light pink top, a yellow skirt, and some black flats. "So what grade are you in here PB?" I asked her. "I'm in 8th," she said. "Cool," I said kind of out of it. Sadly, we ran into Finn and Roselin on the way to the cafeteria. "Hey guys, why'd you leave so fast after I broke our big news?" he asked. Boys are clueless. I took out my phone and texted that to BMO. She started cracking up. "What?" he asked. "Oh, we're texting one of our friends from back home," She told him. "Oh okay," he said. "Well this is my girlfriend Roselin," he told us. "Hi," I said hesitating. "Why are you so shy?" she asked me. "Oh let's just say when I was little my dad didn't let me meet very many people," I said. "Oh my ex was like that too," he said. "Oh I bet she was awesome then," I said. "I guess," He told me. I got hot headed. "I need some water," I said. I walked off, and turned the corner, but stopped there to listen. "That was strange," I heard Finn say. "Well she has a high temperature sometimes," PB said. "Oh," He said. I texted BMO "I'm around the corner listening, he is CLUELESS!" I heard her laugh. "Seriously you and Flo like to laugh, it's kind of weird." Roselin said. "Okay Roselin better watch her mouth around me or else she will be like a pancake before the end of the day," I texted BMO. Then, I walked back in, with my phone in my pocket. "So who else is going to the church service tomorrow?" I asked. "I am, duh," PB said. "I want to go to see what it's like," BMO said. "I probably will," Finn said. "I'll go if he's going," Roselin said. "Very cool," I said. "I'm going to go outside to do something, Bonnie is coming too," I said dragging BMO with me. "I guess I'll go as well, bye!" PB said following us. As soon as we turned the corner, we laughed so loud we knew they could probably hear us, but we didn't care. I knew I was in pain, but I had some really great friends to help me.
