*****SLASH'S POV*****
"okay, just be nice about breaking up with Nancy. That's all you have to do," Slash said to himself.
Breaking up with Nancy is going to be really hard. I just don't want to hurt her. And I hope she still wants to be friends.
I picked up the phone. I started to dial her phone number but I hesitated. Maybe I should just wait until after school today since we have a big math test. Maybe that would be better. I wouldn't want her to fail her test because she's upset over me.
I set the phone down and the phone rang.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hey Slash, its me, Nancy."
"Oh, HEY."
"Is something wrong?"
"uh yeah, I just don't know how to tell you."
"Are you breaking up with me, Slash?"
"Nan, I don't want you to feel bad.."
"No! it's cool. Don't worry about it."
"Are you sure? I feel really bad, but I just think we should be friends. It's been fun."
"Right. Bye."
"B-"
CLICK! She hung up.
I threw the phone across the room in a fit of rage. "GOD WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS? I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT HER FEELINGS AND SHE JUST CALLED ME AT THE WRONG TIME! I WISH SHE WASN'T ALL WHINEY EITHER. I KNOW LINDA WOULDN'T HAVE ACTED LIKE THAT."
Linda.
Linda.
Linda.
Why am I thinking about Linda? Do I still like her? I wanted to ask her to the dance almost a year ago, but have I gotten over her? Jesus.
I picked up the phone again. This time I was calling Linda.
"Hello?" Linda said.
"Hey, its me again."
"Oh.. Hey Slash. Look, I told you not to be upset about last year. Its totally cool."
"Linda. I need to tell you something."
I could tell she was uneasy. "Yeah.?"
"the reason I avoided you for almost a year now, is because I really liked you. Well I think I still do. I have been thinking a lot about you lately. And I wanted to tell you that last year I wanted to ask you to the dance but instead Nancy asked me. And I figured you never wanted anything to do with me that way so I didn't bother telling her no."
"Omigod. Slash. I was crazy about you last year. But now I am totally over you. I hate to sound like a bitch but I just don't feel the same way about you anymore. If you didn't like Nancy then why did you stay with her for almost a year? It took me almost a year to even get over you and now that I have I am thinking about going out with Jam. So yeah, you should have thought about why it was a huge mistake to go with Nancy instead of me a LONG time ago."
"Linda. If I had any idea that you liked me I would have dumped Nancy in a heartbeat! I am crazy about you. I really am. Please give me another chance."
"NO SLASH! I AM SICK OF YOUR GAMES! I AM NOT GOING TO JUST GO CRAWLING BACK TO YOU LIKE SOME SICK PUPPY! AND YOU AREN'T GOD'S GIFT TO THE WORLD SO DON'T THINK THAT EVERYTHING COMES TO YOU LIKE ITS NOTHING! IF YOU WANT ME TO FALL FOR YOU, YOU NEED TO GIVE ME SOMETHING WORTH FALLING FOR."
And that was that. She hung up.
