!KEVIN'S POV!
Monday when I went back to school I avoided Jake, Alyssa, and Sarah all day. I tried to avoid Audrey, but she made some effort to talk to me, but I didn't want to talk to her either. She could've stopped them. Sarah was the one with the idea. Alyssa did it. And Jake, my former best friend, knows I like her and he did it... he kissed her. I still couldn't believe it! I was hoping that any minute my mom would wake me up and none of this would be real. But deep inside I knew that would never happen...I knew it was all real. The love, the hate, the tension...the pain too. It was almost unbearable, I NEEDED someone to care for, I NEEDED someone that cared for me... I NEEDED Alyssa.
!AUDREY'S POV!
I woke up Monday morning, really groggy. My eyes felt swollen because the night before I had cried myself to sleep. Luckily no one heard me because Alyssa and I have our own rooms. I tried my best to cover up all my flaws with make up, but unfortunately I wasn't graced with the talent to do make up. I gave up on that idea and just threw on a light pink shirt, black jeans, and my black and pink Etnies. I wish I could tell Alyssa how I feel, but I just can't. She's so happy now and I don't want to ruin it for her. I walked downstairs and skipped breakfast and walked outside to the bus stop. I was early and no one else was there, do I just sat on the curb. Finally, Alyssa, Sarah, and Jake were coming down the sidewalk. We hung out for a little bit until the bus came, but I couldn't help but notice that Kevin wasn't there.
At school, Kevin wasn't talking to anybody. So I thought I would be nice and go say hi, but he just blew me off. This kind of upset me. I ran to the bathroom, and I couldn't help it. I had to do it. I had to cut myself.
!SARAH'S POV!
I woke up late on Monday morning. I woke up to Jake pounding on my door and him telling me to get up. "Sarah! Get up! We're going to be late!"
"Hold on a second," I yelled back. I shot up and got dressed quicker than I had ever gotten dressed before, and then ran out of my room. I grabbed a piece of toast on the way out of the door with Jake. We met up with Alyssa on the way down to the bus stop. We saw Audrey sitting on the curb when we got there. She looked unusually sad, but she got up and hung out with us anyway.
At school Kevin didn't speak to any of us. I didn't know why he was mad at me. I didn't do anything to him. Oh well, he can get over it. But Audrey was just trying to be nice to him and he totally blew her off. He's being a real jerk about it. Jake and Alyssa are starting to hang out a lot more at school. They wrote notes to each other through the whole class. It's cute, I guess, but yeah. I guess they're together now. I don't know, I'll have to ask them about that. Anyways, after Kevin blew Audrey off, she disappeared. She wasn't in Math. I asked Alyssa about it, but she didn't know either. After Math, Alyssa disappeared too.
!JAKE'S POV!
My life is great now! It couldn't get any better, aside from losing my best friend. But I technically have a girlfriend, and she's great! I woke up early Monday because I couldn't wait to go to school and see Alyssa. I made sure that I dressed my nicest. I wanted to look good for Alyssa... and smell good. Sarah woke up late and I had to wake her up. We ran out of the house and when we got outside we ran into Alyssa (not literally). We walked the rest of the way to the bus stop together. Alyssa looked extremely good today, she was wearing a light blue polo, a short navy and light blue squort, and her Etnies shoes. At the bus stop, Alyssa, Audrey, Sarah, and I just hung out. But Audrey seemed unusually quiet, I just thought that maybe she was tired. But, finally the bus came and Kevin wasn't there.
Kevin was at school and was ignoring all of us. Me, Alyssa, Sarah, and Audrey. I didn't care though. If he was going to be all mad at us because Alyssa likes me and I like her, then he can go right ahead. Audrey tried to talk to him, but he totally ignored her. I think that upset Audrey because she wasn't in Math.
!ALYSSA'S POV!
During Math Audrey wasn't there. It wasn't like her to skip classes. Sarah asked me where she was, but I really didn't know. I knew that Kevin was being really rude to her, but other than that I had no idea. It was great though, because Jake and I got to pass notes in Math. But after the bell rang, I started to look for Audrey. The late bell had rung and I was still looking for her. I finally found her in the 2nd floor bathroom. I heard sobs and I walked down to the end stall.
When I opened the door Audrey was sitting on the floor. She looked up at me and stuffed something into her shoe. She had been crying a lot, I could tell because her eyes were really red and swollen looking. She has never really cried that much and I knew something was wrong...
!AUDREY'S POV!
Yes... I have resorted to cutting myself. I really am upset. I know I shouldn't be... it's just a boy. But I feel worthless. Totally worthless. I had gone to the 2nd floor bathroom, the one where no one goes to because they think it's haunted or something. I ran back to the last stall swung open the door and fell to the floor. I started to cry hysterically. I put my head in my arms and cried for a while. The late bell had rung a long while ago, by then. I opened up my backpack
And started looking for my straight pins. I had these because I was taking home ec. this semester. I finally found them and then opened the case and pulled one out. I pulled up my pant leg and slowly started carving into my skin. I could feel the pain from inside slowly going away. I never thought I would start cutting myself, but I have resorted to it. I did this for the rest of the period and then I heard the bell ring. I couldn't believe I had spent a whole period cutting myself. That was my first time.
It's scary thinking about it. I heard footsteps come into the bathroom after the late bell rang. They started to come back to my stall and then they swung open the door. Alyssa was standing right there looking down at me. I shoved the pin into the tongue of my shoe. "What are you doing?" Alyssa asked.
"I was--I was just... crying"
"It looked like you were doing something else..."
"Oh no. Nothing else... just crying..."
"Why were you crying?"
"Because... because Kevin was being really mean to me. I know that's stupid, but I really do like him. But he likes you. And I can see why... you're pretty and nice. I'm none of the above."
Alyssa looked at me puzzled. "Audrey, you're a pretty girl... any guy would be lucky to have you."
Alyssa always knew how to make me feel better. "Thanks Alyssa." We then hugged. "Don't worry about me though, I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'll be perfectly fine."
!JAKE'S POV!
I saw Alyssa walk down the steps from being on the 2nd floor. She was looking so cute in her little mini skirt. She looked around and then spotted me. "Hey Jake!" I let a grin creep onto my face and said," Hey Alyssa! What's up?" a little too enthusiastically. She returned the smile and fell into step beside me. I had been thinking about asking Alyssa to hang out, just the two of us all day. This was the perfect time to do it. " Alyssa what are you doing tomorrow after school?" " Nothing... yet, what did you have in mind?" she replied. Perfect I thought. " I was just wondering if you would like to meet me at the mall so we could hang out just the two of us...it wouldn't have to be a date...unless you wanted it to be that is." Alyssa smiled at me with that smile that I love. "Yeah, that sounds great. I'd like that." I couldn't wipe the smile off my face! I couldn't believe it! I finally got the only girl I ever wanted! I felt like the luckiest guy in the world...seriously if I didn't have a reputation to keep, I would jump up and down right now. I finally had her. I had the perfect girlfriend.
