Craig's Point of View

I was a little confused as to why Corrine would ask me if I would get back with Ashley, but I don't love Ash. I fell in love with Corrine and no one come between us, so I thought. A week after school started, the bell had rang to let school out and I went to my locker to put my books away. Around the corner came Ashley, I was expecting her to ask me out like Corrine said. She came up to me.

"Hey Craig."

"Hi Ashley."

"So how are you doing?"

"Okay Ash, just cut to the chase,"I was getting fed up.

"Craig, I still love you and I think we're meant to be. What I'm trying to say is that I want to go out with you."

"Look Ashley, we're over, I thought I loved you but I don't. And I'm with someone who I truly love."

"Craig, I know you still love me and I won't stop at anything to get you."I don't know what the hell happened next, but she pushed me up against the lockers and started kissing me. And then that's when the worst, most horrible thing happened, Corrine came around the corner. I didn't think Ashley noticed, she was pretty busy. Corrine dropped her books and ran. I pushed Ashley away and ran after Corrine. God I felt so horrible. She even warned me, I'm so stupid.

After about a mile or so, I couldn't feel my feet or legs, but we kept running. Corrine ran into her house and slammed the door in my face. I could hear her crying against the door."Corrine please open the door!"But all I heard was crying. So I gave up and left for home, she probably already hates me. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Corrine's Point of View

Right now I'm crying my eyes out into my pollow in my room. How could I have been so stupid. I hate Ashley and I hate Craig. Everyone warned me about him, I should've listen then maybe I wouldn't be in so much heartache right now. I guess we've broken up and I could actually picture myself getting hitched to him, how lame am I. The phone rang and I saw the caller I.D. it was Craig. It keep ringing for some time until I picked it up."Stop calling Craig, I never ever want to speak to you ever again!"

"Corrine? This is Marco."

"Oh, I'm sorry for shouting at you, I thought you were someone else."

"You mean Craig?"

"Don't ever say his name infront of me again."

"Why? What happened?"

"M-Marco, h-he cheated on me!"I thought I cried myself out, but it came back.

"What do you mean cheated on you?"

"I saw him kissing after school with Ashley!"

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry Cor. I thought he wouldn't do it again. I mean he loves you."

"Well obiviously he doesn't, how can I have been so stupid to fall in love with someone who cheated on their girlfriend before." I could taste the salt in my tears as they ran down my face. I was so not looking forward to school tomorrow.
