"Ash, this isn't cool." Ellie said as she twirled her multi-colored
pigtail. Ashley looked away, not wanting to make eye contact with her
friend.
"Come on Ashley. What happened to you yesterday? You come to school today and don't say a thing and expect me just to sit here and wait for you to decide to talk? It's not cool." Ellie said exasperated.
Ashley looked at her untouched lunch. It's as if she had cried out all of her feelings last night, and now all she wanted to do was watch people around her, people that had feelings, people that were happy.
She looked around the room till her eyes landed on Jimmy. She felt numb. Everything around her melted. The only thing she could see, could ever see, was him.
"ASH!!!"
Ashley snapped back into reality.
"Ashley, you look really pale. Come on I'm taking you outside to get some fresh air." Ellie said as she grabbed Ashley's arm and led her outside.
Jimmy took his lunch tray over to the garbage can. He checked his watch and noticed he was late. He went into the hallway and started towards the front steps of the school.
"Dude, wait! I have a great joke I got to tell you!" Spinner shouted from down the hall. Jimmy jumped and looked behind him.
"Spinner, your scared me."
"Dude, this joke is so funny! Ok so there's this monkey right? And he."
"Spin, I gotta go to the bathroom, could you tell me later?"
"But I want to tell you my joke!"
"But I have to.poop."
"Dude, you're on your own!"
Spinner turned and left. Jimmy sighed, he was finally alone. He walked outside and sat on the front steps and waited.
Ashley and Ellie sat beside the big bushes that lined the front steps of the school. Ashley drew in a deep breath and slowly let it out.
"Wow.Jimmy and Hazel? Didn't see that one coming." Ellie said, after she heard the full story of the events that happened the day before.
"How do you think I felt?" Ashley said staring at the sky. She wondered in her own thoughts until they were interrupted by voices. Ash and Ellie looked at each other and then turned and peered through the bushes to see Jimmy and Hazel on the front steps. Ashley caught her breath. She felt numb again. She then leaned in closer to hear what they were saying.
"Thank for the help yesterday Hazel."
"No problem. Any time you just need to make out, I'll be here!"
"Uhm.yea.thanks."
"So you want me to meet you today after school?"
"Uhm, no. I got all the help I needed."
"I don't really get this. Yesterday you ask me to help you with something, but you never say what. Then we have this great make out session, and now you don't want to do anything with me any more."
"Well, Hazel, just.I'll see you later." Jimmy turned and started walking.
Oh no, Ashley thought, he's coming right towards us!
"Run!" Ellie whispered. But it was too late. Jimmy stopped and stared and Ashley. Ashley froze. The three of them stood for a minute frozen and in an awkward silence.
"How could you?" escaped from Ashley's mouth. Ellie, thinking it was a good time to leave them alone, slipped away into the building.
"Do what?"
"Make out with Hazel!"
"How do.You were listening to me!"
"Well you were loud enough! Why don't you just go tell the whole world you have a new girlfriend!" Ash said as she felt hot tears forming in her eyes.
"She's not my girlfriend!"
"Yea right!"
"I promise you! I promise you with all my heart she IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
"Then why did you make out with her!!!"
"I had to make sure!!!"
"Of what???"
Jimmy grew silent.
"Ashley, can you please sit down?" he said in a low voice.
Ashley slowly sat down and he sat with her. He stared at her, their eyes meeting, encircling each other. Ashley felt warmth in the eyes that she had known so well.
"Ash, you're a great friend. But.you can never be.anything more then that."
"What?" Ashley's world turned upside down. "Why not???"
"Ash, I'm gay."
Hee Hee, hope you like the series of secrets being revealed! There is A LOT more to come! Sorry I was late getting it out but I hope this chapter makes up for it!
