Chapter 12

Written By Degrassicutie1

Angela sits at a table by herself at lunch time.

I can't believe how harsh Jordan was, Angela thought. A part of me hates his guts, but still loves everything about him. I've lost everything, my friends and my so-called boyfriend.

"Angela." She heard Sharon.

"What do you want?" asked Angela.

"To, uh, see how you're doing." said Sharon.

"I'm fine!" replied Angela, nastily.

"I'm sorry that Jordan hurt you, but we warned you—

"Jordan and I are still together, I know we are."

"Angela, Jordan hurt you and embarrassed you in front of everyone and you think you're still together? Haven't you learned anything about him? You are such a late bloomer."

"You think you know everything, but you don't."

Angela gets up to find Jordan, who is waiting for her in the boiler room.

"Hey Angela."

"Jordan, we need to talk—

Jordan grabs her and starts to kiss her.

"Jordan, let go! We seriously need to talk."

"About what!?"

"What happened today? You totally humiliated me. Aren't we a couple?"

"Yeah, we are. But only when we're alone."

"What's that supposed to mean, Jordan?"

"Don't you get it Angela? Do you want my rep to be ruined?"

"Oh I'm sorry; I guess your rep is more important than what we have."

Angela leaves in disgust.

"Angela. Wait." But she's gone already.

When Angela gets home, she goes straight to her room and buries her face into the pillow.

"Angela, honey. Can I come in?" asked Patty.

"No, please go away!" Angela screamed.

"I'm coming in anyway." said Patty. "What's the matter, honey?"

"My life is so messed up." said Angela.

"Tell me how." said Patty.

"I was seeing this guy that I liked that I thought like me back. But he doesn't want anyone to know because of his so-called rep. I've lost my friends because of him and what sucks the most is that my friends were right and I was wrong."

"Is this Jordan, by any chance?"

Angela was silent for a moment.

"Yes, it's Jordan Cattalano. I wish I never met him."

"If it makes you feel any better, I dated a guy like Jordan back when I was your age."

"Really? I've got to hear this. You're not just making it up to make me feel better, are you?"

"No, of course not."

"Okay, so tell me."

"He was quite a charming boy. His name was Randy Phillips, every girl wanted him. I wanted him. The day he noticed me and asked me out, I had such beautiful dreams the same night."

"Sounds like you were deeply in love."

"I was. Everything was going so well. He told me he loved me and that my eyes reminded him of a shooting star."

"So what went wrong?"

"It turned out he had said the same thing to a whole bunch of other girls. And I had to dump him."

"Well, Jordan is kind of like that, only he doesn't compliment me or tell me he loves me, he just wants to make out all day. So what should I do?"

"Honey, I think you need to do what you think is right. You're a big girl and you can make your own decisions."

"Thanks Mom, that story of yours really helped."

Patty leaves Angela alone to think.

What should I do now, thought Angela. Should I dump Jordan Cattalano?
