Ch. 5
Dana silently read the note Josh gave her. It read:
I don't think that this friendship is gonna last. I'm sorry.
Josh
{A/N:Kinda like the letter my bf wrote me when we broke up .}
One word screamed through her mind at that moment. Bastard. Couldn't even include her name. She looked up at him. He was staring at the surface of his desk. She noticed that he was fixing to say something to her but the bell rang. She didn't care if he was going to apologize a thousand times she just had to get out of there. And that is just what she did. Dana ran down the halls tears threatening to fall. She ran to the girls bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She saw a teenaged girl with mascara smeared across her face. Why is she letting him get the better of her? What did she care if he didn't want her as a friend? But she did care. She wanted him as a friend. She sat in the corner of one of the stalls. She thought about it for a moment. Though as much as she wanted to she couldn't stay in a bathroom forever. She had to face him sooner or later. Dana dreaded the thought of having to sit with him at lunch. Suddenly it hit her. Literally it did because the door swung open and hit her, hard. Standing in the doorway was a red headed girl with a pink tank top and white capris on. The girl smiled warmly at her and offered her a hand.
"Sorry 'bout that. I'm Cherri Valance and you are." Cherri said, helping Dana up noticing the tears.
"I'm Dana Mathews." Dana said kind of brightening up.
"Why the long face? Buck up a little why don't ya." Cherri said.
"It's a long story." Dana answered, slightly frowning.
"Sit with me at lunch and we can talk about it." she said kindly.
"I couldn't." Dana said, shaking her head.
"It's the least I could do after whacking a door into your head." Cherri said, chuckling at the end.
"Well I could use some company." Dana said, emphasizing the word 'could'.
"Your problems that bad, eh? No worries. My friends and I can cheer you up." Cherri said, beaming.
"Great! Just let me wash up first." Dana said, pointing at her face.
"OK. I'll wait for you." Cherri said, giggling slightly.
Dana splashed water on her face getting off the rest of the mascara. Then ripped off a paper towel and dried off her face. Then she joined Cherri and they walked down the hall together. Dana then remembered. 'Oh my God I forgot about Zoe and Amber. I promised I'd sit with them. Oh well they'll understand hopefully.' Dana thought shrugging it off but somehow it kept coming back but she let it go when she arrived at the doorway.
When they entered the cafeteria Cherri lead Dana to a table across from Zoe and Amber's. She could sense that they were staring at her. 'Probably wondering what I'm doing with these girls. They will understand why I missed this one lunch.' Dana said mentally taking a seat next to Cherri. Cherri was already talking about some stuff that she probably didn't care about. What a day it turned out to be!
Across the table a wide-eyed Zoe and an open mouthed Amber looked on in disbelief. They hadn't done anything to her that they had known of. JP and Tommy aren't in her classes. Taki wouldn't make her mad. And Koichi barely sees her along with Koji. So that left..
"Josh what did you do to Dana!" Zoe exclaimed, only loud enough for her table to hear.
"Nothing." Josh muttered.
"Then why isn't she sitting with us?" Amber asked.
"She made some new friends. I don't know ask her." Josh said.
"You did something." Zoe said accusingly.
"Zoe, he might be telling the truth." Takuya said, trying to calm the blond down.
"So your not going with me on this one. I don't have time for this." Josh said getting up.
"What's your problem, Z?" Takuya asked." He could've been telling the truth. You need to stop accusing people of something they haven't done." Takuya got up and left the cafeteria.
"Wait Taki!" she screamed, then sat back down.
"It'll be okay Z. He'll come back and forgive you." JP said, hugging her.
"Thanks JP. You're the best friend a girl could have." Zoe said, hugging him back as tears formed.
"Go after him Zoe. I'm telling you this now. Go to Taki before I change my mind." JP said releasing her.
"Thank you." Zoe said, as she hugged him one last time and ran after Takuya.
JP soon got up and watched as she ran out of his sight. 'Takuya, you deserve Zoe. I wish you the best.' JP thought smiling.
Over in the corner Koji had dragged Amber there. They were talking out of sight from anyone else.
"What's gotten in to you lately?" Koji asked.
"Nothing it's just that Josh must've done something to upset her." Amber said.
"That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying what has happened to you that you don't wanna talk to me?" Koji asked, staring at her closely.
"Nothing. What are you talking about Koji?" Amber asked.
"We're best friends always will be right?" he asked as she nodded telling him to continue. "Then how come something inside of me is telling me that I want to be more than that."
"I don't know, Koji. Where are you getting at?" Amber said, avoiding his eyes.
"I'm trying to tell you that I love you, Amber." Koji said, waiting for a response.
Instead of answering she she kissed him just for a few seconds. When she finally stopped he was turning a pink color. She giggled at his reaction.
"I love you, too." Amber said as Koji smiled at her.
