Chapter 1: Broken Hearted

From the Diary of Lori Baxter

Ever since Merton turned into stone everything has changed. Tommy won't even talk to me at all. I try everything I can, A simple "Hey Tommy," or "Whatz up?" but nothing seems to work. Nothing. And it's not only that. Tommy doesn't even practically talk to anyone. I call him almost all the time and he won't even answer to that, I know that he's there. I leave messages on his answering machine but he doesn't reply back. It wasn't like this before. Even after we broke up we would spend countless nights talking to each other. If not, we would be hanging out at places like The Factory, The Hungry Bucket, or taking long night strolls in the cemetery or in the park, talking. Talking about the past, the present, and the future. I bet we would have never guessed that it would ever come to this. It's all my fault. If I had never kissed Merton in the first place, nothing of this would have happened. Who knows? Maybe Tommy and I could have had another shot at our relationship…

From the Diary of Tommy Dawkins

I am so confused right now that I feel as if my head could explode. That makes me wonder…why isn't it? I feel so full of emotions at this time. Sad, worried, scared, sorry, ashamed, disappointed, mad, angry… you name it. Lori keeps trying to be nice to me and friendly. She tries talking to me, but I just can't talk to her. That makes me mad. Why can't I talk to her? I wish Merton was here. Probably this wouldn't be happening. I am also still mad at the fact that Lori and Merton kissed! I just can't get the playback of it out of my head. Why am I so mad at them? Why do I keep thinking about Lori? Do I still have feelings for her even after we broke up before the kiss? Why am I writing this down?

From the Diary of Lori Baxter

Another day has gone by but nothing. I caught a glimpse of Tommy's face today. But he can't even force a smile. He looks so pale and tired. He practically fell asleep in math class today. He always does come to think of it. Anyhow, I went up to him in the hallway but no response. I'll try again tomorrow. At Tommy's Locker

"Hey Tommy. Nice weather we're having today, huh?" Lori asked as she came up to him and greeted him. There was no response from him except for a small and quick glance at her.

"Tommy, you know. I'm really sorry about the whole thing and everything. No hard feelings, right?" replied Lori in a soft tone.

"No hard feelings, huh? I lost my best friend and you're saying no hard feelings! Who do you think you are? If you had never came here to Pleasantville High in the first place, none of this would have happened! Why don't you just get out of my life!" replied Tommy in an angry tone. Lori stands there shocked, water swelling in her eyes, rolling down her cheeks as she quickly runs away down the halls of Pleasantville High.

"No…wait…Lori come back…I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to …" Tommy gets caught off as we hear a loud bang behind Lori as she shuts the girls bathroom door.

Lori leans her head back to the door and sits on the floor and cries for the remainder of the day.

Tommy slams his locker shut and hits it with his head against it many times. A few people stare at him.

From the Diary of Tommy Dawkins

How could I do such a stupid thing? I really hurt Lori's feelings. Why couldn't I just think before I spoke? I came to realize that I still have feelings for Lori. I miss her. I've missed her since the day we broke up. I miss the spark we would have when we were together. I miss everything about her. About us. Just when things were looking good again between the two of us, all this has to happen. First, I lost one of my two best friends and now I lost my other. I feel so alone.
