Deeper than a cut
Chapter 11
Simon was stood outside principle Talbot's office waiting for the answer to his knock on the door "come in" Talbot called out, Simon then entered the room, closed the door behind him and sat down opposite Talbot "ah, Simon, so what brings you here"? Talbot asked "well I was wondering if you would allow me to leave school early today" Simon responded "and why do you need to leave early" Talbot wondered "well I errr I have to go and collect a very important package" Simon answered "and what might that be…if you don't mind me asking"? Talbot said "well sir…it's an… engagement ring…I am going to ask Jeanette Miller to marry me" Simon told him "ok then…I give you permission to leave school early today" Talbot said as he signed a slip saying that Simon could leave school early. Once lunch had begun Simon said his goodbyes to everybody and rode off to the mall where he picked up Jeanette's engagement ring and raced back home to put it safely away.
Alvin and Theodore had just finished their lunch and were about to leave when they saw Jeanette, looking in a complete state walking towards the lunch line, Alvin and Theodore grabbed her, dragged her away and planted her in Simon's recently vacated seat "Jeanette what's the matter"? they asked "oh nothing…it's just been a bad day…all of the snide comments all of the time and all of the mood swings from the hormones and on top of all of that…it's my time of the month" she told them dropping her voice to a whisper, Alvin and Theodore then spent the rest of lunch cheering Jeanette up, when the bell rang to signal the end of lunch, Jeanette hugged Alvin and Theodore and thanked them for their help, Jillian who had been watching turned to her friends and told them to go and start a rumour that Jeanette is cheating on Simon, by the end of the day everybody in school had heard the rumour "right…that is it" Eleanor screamed when the ninth different person told her the same story "hiya Simon, listen you seriously need to speak to that demented ex-girlfriend of yours as she has started this rumour about Jeanette and also the past few months Jillian has been giving Jeanette a load of shit" Eleanor told Simon when he answered his phone "ok then great see ya later" she finished as they hung up.
Later that night Simon was sat out on the rooftop with his phone in his hand, "Jillian…no I am not…well let me see, because of you….you keep trying to split me and Jeanette up…all of these rumours and bullying her…all because I learned from the mistake of dating you that Jeanette is twice the woman you are and will ever be…you are a sick and fucking twisted little bitch and I fucking hate you…JUST FUCKING STAY AWAY FROM ME AND STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY GIRLFRIEND…I'LL GIVE YOU A REASON WHY….YOU ARE SICK, TWISTED, POISIONOUS, EVIL AND A VENOMOUS LITTLE BITCH…JUST FUCKING STAY OUT OF OUR LIVES OR YOU WILL LIVE TO FUCKING REGRET IT" Simon screamed down the phone.
