Chapter Six- As They Grow Distant.....
Walking to school Friday morning, Jennifer felt extremely happy. Happy that she didn't have to work as much, so she could spend time fixing things with Simon, and happy that she could just be herself around Lucy. Everything seemed to be going great now that she had revealed her secret to her best friend.
Lucy saw Jen walking up to school and walked over.
"Hey girl, how've you been?"
"Better, Mr. Fredrickson finally hired some more help so I don't have to work every waking moment of my day. What about you?"
"I can't complain."
"That's good. Do you know if Simon's still mad at me? I really want to try and explain things to him."
Lucy looked seriously at her friend, "Are you going to tell him about your mom?"
"Not yet, I just want to work on getting our relationship back in shape."
The bell rang, and both girls hurried to class. Jennifer thought about what to say to Simon all that morning, and when lunch arrived she hurried to there usual spot. But Simon didn't show up. Half of the lunchperiod was over before Jen spotted Simon walking down the sidewalk, away from her. She ran to catch up with him.
"Hey Simon. Why didn't you meet me for lunch?"
He kept walking, looking at the ground and away from her.
"Simon, please don't ignore me. I......."
"Why should I talk to you? Why should I meet you for lunch? You didn't seem too concerned about talking to or meeting me in the last few weeks." She could see the anger in his eyes, and a hint of sadness. Neither one of them noticed Lucy walk around the corner, then stop, not wanting to interrupt.
"Simon, I'm sorry. It's just I had to work, two of the waitresses quit and everyone was sick and........"
"You still made time to call my sister, spend time over with her. You didn't hardly say two words to me."
"I'm sorry.....I couldn't....Simon...." She looked at him, tears in her eyes. The only way she could make him understand was to tell him the truth. She couldn't. Not yet.
"Yeah, that's what I thought." Simon looked at Jen, his emotions racing. He was so angry, but he was really more hurt. How could he have been such a fool.
"I forgot why I'm still standing here." he said sarcastically, and walked off towards his next class. Jen stood there, not able to move, and she saw Lucy walk from around the corner. They hugged, and Jennifer cried.
"He hates me, and I can't fix it. There's nothing I can do."
"I'm sure he doesn't hate you, just give him some time. Let's go inside."
Both Lucy and Jen walked inside, and the rest of the day went as normally as it could. Jennifer went "home" to her room and sat alone, thinking about Simon and what he really meant to her. That night she fell asleep early and dreamt of Simon and Lucy, her two very best friends.
