Misunderstanding
A JordansGirl original...



Catie Roth walked slowly down the gray echoing halls as she let her hand slide against each locker side. Think, she knelt down next to the storage room, her stomach turning.

No, not this again, she thought. She felt so sick. She fell against the locker, holding her knees. The bell rang. Loads of kids burst into the halls.

The dark haired, young man emerged from his Science classroom. Glancing over at Catie, holding her stomach chanting words to her self.

Jamie Waite walked towards his scared friend. He knelt down and lifted a hand to her shoulder. "Catie? What's wrong."

She looked up, scarce, "Huh? What? Nothing, no, I'm fine. Seriously. Go." She said putting her head back into her knees. Almost crying, she finally stood up after Jamie stayed there for awhile, refusing to leave.

"I have to go." She began to walk down the hall, but being held back by a pair of arms, "Jamie, let me go! I have to get to class."

Her crossed his arms after she went to the place he wanted her too be, "No. Tell me what's wrong first." He demanded.

"No. I'm fine, really. Besides, it wouldn't be any of your business, now would it?" Catie said looking to the ground but looking back up on the last of her words.

The young man rolled his eyes, "Well, we're friends. I care. And, well, I deserve to know." He walked towards her. The second bell rang.

"Look, NO, I'm going to be late, now bye!" She said trying to go, but once again, being held back by Jamie. He could hear he almost rolling her eyes.

"Tell me. Or I won't let you go." He said, making her smile. Letting her know he cared. But, letting it fade after a while.

"Okay… the truth is," She said began, "No, no, no, you just can't know. You'll get mad."

He moved his mouth to talk but nothing cam out, "I won't say it. I know you can't be…" Jamie began, "Your not.."

"What Jamie?" He looked scared.

"You're not, like, huffing, are you?" He asked, seeing the expression on her face, knowing what was about to happen. Friendship. BROKEN like a chicken bone.

"JAMIE!! NO! WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM1?!" She screamed. She stomped off.

"Hmm.. Didn't think so." He said walking off. "I'll just let her calm down."



After a few days she forgave him and everything was back to normal.


One day when Jamie was in the 'Common Room' at the EMT Station working, Catie came bursting in.

"Jamie! I can't believe you!" She screamed, he was eating a box of Eminems.

He looked at her for a moment, "What did I do now?" He was puzzled. She rolled her eyes.

"You know what you did! I hate you!"

"No, really I don't know." He said standing up, wiping his hands off.

"You." She began, "You said that I was.."

"Say it."

"Smoking." She entered.

"What? No! Who said that?" He jumped up.

"Look, Ali told me. She said that when you were under the bleachers you were talking and that came up. Yea knows when Carlson busted us for smoking. when we weren't." She said, "Anyway, she said you and I were smoking and we got caught."

"I wasn't. Neither were you." She said calming down.

"Huh?" Jamie asked, "I never said anything to her! Ali Lust. Eww. Hate her. Always did." He had a disgusted look on her face.

She grabbed Jamie, and hugged him closing her eyes tight. He stood there after a few seconds putting his hands around her waist.

They stood there until the bell rang and he had to go on a call.
