Three

Well, he is completely gone now. It's such a funny thing though. First I was eating a burger with him, and the next moment he had to go. I mean, that's really strange, like, like he left me without saying goodbye, but he did. Well, yeah. It's hard to explain how that feels.

Anyhow, when I went home, Lucy was waiting for me, and said:' Well, what happened between you guys? You guys made up again or what?'

So I sighed, because the last thing that I need is more talking about David. I mean, David is… gone. So I said:' Lucy! I don't need you to follow everything about me and David! I need some rest!'

Then I ran upstairs to my room and put on the newest CD of Gwen Stefani. All those songs sort of reminded me to David, since I only listened to these songs when I was dating David. I heard the doorbell rang, and it probably was Jack, since he hangs out here almost every day. He's got nothing else better to do, right? Or does he? Well anyhow, an hour later, Jack came up to my room. I mean, MY ROOM! I mean, couldn't he just knock on the door first? I was like self-pitying on my bed when I saw the door flinging open. I screamed:' JACK!'

And he was like, looking really confused. 'What? Did I do something wrong?'

No, except for that you came rushing into my bedroom, taking the risk to see me about to cry.

'Yes! You came into my room without knocking! You scared me to death!'

'Well, sorry for that, but it's not that you were changing clothes or did you?'

'No… But… Some people, like me, need some privacy now and then. Especially when their boyfriend have broken up with them'

'So you guys really.. are… uhm, done?'

'What do you mean with "done"?'

'Well, you know, you guys broke up.'

'Oh you mean that, yeah. Duh'

I tried to be really cool about it, like I didn't care. You know. But too bad he knew that I was pretending.

'You don't have to be all chilly about it. I know you were upset when he broke up with you.'

'Well. I am not anymore then.'

'Uhm. Okay. I just wanted to check if you were okay. Being alone in your room, usually we talk about art and stuff… It's just so strange…'

'Well, I just need some time alone in my room. And I am doing okay.'

'Ok. Well then. I'll just eh… go to Lucy.'

Well, that was a GREAT conversation, or not? I couldn't imagine any conversation could go worse than this. So he went downstairs. After that I could only cry.

The next day Catherine was worrying about me 'because I look so depressed'. Well, I don't think I do. I am doing okay, really. She probably head Lucy talking about me and David again. I think she didn't dare to ask me if it's true. Well, I wouldn't dare either, if she was not my best friend. BECAUSE BEST FRIENDS ARE SUPPOSED TO TELL EACHOTHER EVERYTHING! Even their biggest secrets. Well, maybe not that much. So I went: 'Cath, have you picked up some of Lucy rambling about me?'

It took a little while for her to answer, but then she said: 'Yes, I did. So is it true?'

'That David and I broke up?'

'Yeah.'

'It's true'

'You didn't tell me!'

'You didn't ask…'

Well, after that some students in the cafeteria must have heard that too, because everyone, I mean EVERYONE knows about it now.

I am so dead. Toasted.
