Brittney's POV
I was awoken by the sound of Nick's voice saying my name. Confused, I opened my eyes to see that it was actually his ring tone from when he called. The screen of my silver razor flashed saying that I had three missed calls. All of them were from Nick.
I sighed and deleted all of them, not bothering to hear what he had to say. Then I turned it off. I didn't need to hear his voice all day long. It would just remind me about how pathetic I was. I was so pathetic that a celebrity took pity on my and became my friend.
Suddenly I heard someone knock on my door. "Brit, wake up! You don't want to be late for school." Jazz shouted from the other side of the door. I could hear her retreating footsteps just a few second later.
I sat up and pushed the covers off of me. I had a headache from crying so much last night, just one of the many side effects of being depressed. Luckily I had had enough sense to finish my homework last night so know one would ask any questions. I wasn't able to answer them yet.
I got out of bed and threw on light blue jeans and a red t-shirt that said 'I'm random' in white cursive letters. I put my hair in two braids and looked at myself in the mirror.
The outfit looked totally cute on me. It didn't show that I was depressed at all, which was exactly what I was going for. It was my face that gave me away. My eyes were puffy from crying, and my face was tear streaked.
I turned and opened my bedroom door and stepped out into the hallway. Hoping that I wouldn't see Jazz or my mom I bowed my head and hurried toward the bathroom. Once I was safely in the bathroom and I closed the door and locked it. I starred at myself in the mirror for a few minutes before getting to work. First I splashed some cold water onto my face; one to wake me up more, and two to get rid of the puffiness. Then I began to wash my face with warm water and my face cleanser. I dried my face and applied some eyeliner (my sister had taught me how to do it on Sunday) and clear lip gloss. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. Perfect.
I stepped out of the bathroom and headed for the kitchen. I looked at the table and saw oatmeal, hot chocolate, and toast with butter on it. My sister sat next to the food eating a bowl of cereal. When she saw me enter she grinned. "Is the for me?" I asked pointing at the food.
"Yep. It's something that I like to call comfort food, comes in handy after you have a fight with your boyfriend." She said motioning for me to come over and sit down. At the word boyfriend I winced, but didn't bother to correct her.
"Maybe I should break up with Jerry. I mean, I don't think we're gonna work out." I said trying to figure out a way so that she won't wonder why I'm not speaking to Jerry anymore. Jasmine just laughed.
"Brit, that's a silly reason to break up with Jerry. Fights happen all the time, relationships aren't perfect." She said and stood. She walked over to the sink and rinsed her bowl out. "Now, we have to go to school in five minutes and I still need to do my makeup. You get ready and try to make up with your boy, kay?" She asked and walked out before I could reply.
Great, I though. I'm stuck going out with a boy who doesn't even like me.
I sighed and finished my breakfast and rinsed my dishes. I put all my homework into my backpack and slipped on red flip flops. "Jazz, come on! We're gonna be late!" I shouted my voice echoing around our quiet house.
Suddenly Jasmine appeared from the hallway. Like always she looked gorgeous. She had straightened her hair and wore a striped light yellow and white tunic with black leggings underneath. She slipped on white ballet flats and grabbed her backpack. "Ready!" She sang and we walked out the door.
All of my friends knew that Jerry and I were in a fight. They didn't know why, and what the fight was about and I was going to keep it that way. I just told them that I wasn't ready to go into detail, only that Jerry had said something very mean and rude to me. This was partly true.
"Brit, you and your friends should sit at my table today." Jasmine said. Even though what she said was a suggestion, the tone of her voice made it a command. I just nodded my head and got into the lunch line.
School lunches are almost never good. We have a fast food line, and a hot lunch line. On Wednesdays both lines serve the same lunch, which is always a really nasty lunch. Today it was chicken finger and tri tators in the fast food line, so I was obviously in it. Chicken fingers and tri-tators was one my favorite school lunches. I grabbed a banana along with three chicken fingers and one tri-tator and headed toward my table.
My friends were already there. History, my class before lunch, was always let out late because Mrs. Gregory loved to go on and on about it. "Hey." I said in a quiet voice trying to fake happiness. "Jazz said we're sitting with her today." Instantly my friend's faces lit up. They were going to sit at the popular table. It was every persons dream.
They all stood up and followed me down to the bottom level where Jasmine was. "Brit, Trisha, Megan, Cass! Over here!" Jazz said waving us over to her. It sat on her right, Trisha sat on my right and Megan and Cass sat across from us. Trisha, Megan, and Cass couldn't stop grinning.
"So, how are you feeling?" Jazz asked me putting her arm around my shoulders and giving me a slight squeeze. I forced a smile.
"Better." I said and took a bit of one of my chicken fingers that had just been dipped in ketchup.
"That's good because I hate seeing my sister sad." She took her arm back, but leaned against me to let me know that she was still there for me. I smiled a genuine smile. My sister really did care for me, even if she did show it in a weird way.
Suddenly I heard Nick's voice. I forgot that I had turned my phone on right before I came to lunch. I took my cellphone out of my pocket and flipped it open. "Hi, Jerry." I said letting him know that I was at school. He just ignored it.
"Look Brit, you have to listen to me…" I stood up and mouthed 'be right back' before turning and walking into the girls bathroom. Nick was still talking and finally I spoke.
"Sorry, I didn't catch that." I said and heard Nick let out a frustrated sigh.
"Please, just let me explain." Nick pleaded and I shook my head.
"I heard enough of your explanation yesterday. Do you know how embarrassing it is to know that some celebrity was being your pity friend?" I asked harshly.
"You don't get it though!" Nick said with hurt in his voice.
"No, I get it. And I just wanted to let you know that I'm not ready to talk to you. So could you just leave me alone, Nick?" I said, and when he didn't say anything I hung up.
I sighed and whipped some stray tears off of my cheeks smudging my eye liner. I stayed in the bathroom a bit longer fixing my makeup before walking back out toward my friends. God, I'm sad all over again! I thought to myself before taking a seat between Jazz and Trisha. They both looked at me and I shook my head. I sat there for the rest of lunch just picking at my food.
Nick's POV
I was lying on my bed tears in my eyes. All I could hear was the dial tone that my phone was making. I can't believe Brittney had just hung up on me. I had really messed up.
"Nick?" Kevin asked softly knocking on my door before stepping into my room. I sat up wiping my face with the back of my hand.
"Yeah?" I asked tiredly.
"Is something the matter? After you and Brittney had that fight you don't seem like yourself. Do you feel guilty about her knowing why you were hanging out with her?" He asked, and I finally burst.
"It's not that! That was a total lie! I actually really liked her a lot, but I chickened out every time I was about to ask her out." I said holding back tears. Kevin sat down on the edge of my bed. He had a sympathetic expression on his face.
"Why didn't you tell us?" He asked, he was sure nosy about my love life.
"Because I didn't want you guys teasing me in front of her. It was just going to make me even more embarrassed about asking her out. And now she hates me?" Kevin opened his mouth to say something. But just then Joe walked in.
"Hey bros." He said casually jumping onto my bed and stretching out. We weren't working today so today was just chill day.
"Hey." Kevin and I said in unison.
"What's up?" Kevin looked to me and raised his eyebrow as if to ask 'can I tell him?' I nodded my head and Kevin told Joe all about the whole Brittney situation. Joe sat up his dark brown eyes huge.
"Nice going Nick! You probably scared her away." I felt my eyes fill up.
"I know!" I said miserably and Kevin slapped Joe in the back of the head.
"This is not the kind of pep talk Nick needs. We need to help him figure out how to get Brittney to forgive him."
Joe nodded and stood up. "I'm hungry." He announced. Kevin and I just looked at him with confused looks on our faces.
"And that is gonna help Nick how?" Kevin asked and I laughed. Joe just glared at us.
"Food will fuel our brains and make us smarter." He said simply and walked out of my room.
"Huh, I though school made you smarter." I said before getting up and following him down to the kitchen.
We decided to make lunch. While Joe is crazy and can't sit still for a second he was the one running around getting the ingredients for the food that we were making. Kevin and I were the ones actually making the food.
By the time we were actually done making pasta, ham sandwiches Joe was tired out. We all sat down at the table and dug in. I took a bit of my ham sandwich suddenly wondering what Brittney was at the moment. I knew she was at school but was she in class, or the bathroom, or the hall? I sat there for a few seconds thinking this over before snapping out of my trance.
"Well, I get girls by…" Joe started to go on and on about how he would get girls. They were all by using cheesy pick up lines, but I wasn't like that. I was more of the sweet guy who would just casually come up to them and start talking to them.
"Joe, we are trying to make Brit forgive me!" I said exasperated.
"Fine, then let's call Many and ask her what she thinks we should do." Joe said pulling out his cellphone and calling Mandy. He put it on speaker phone so we all could talk. She picked up on the fifth ring.
"Hey Joe!" She said into the phone.
"Don't forget about Kevin and Nick!" Kevin shouted so she could here him. We heard her laugh.
"And Kevin and Nick! So, what's up?" She asked, we could hear the radio on in the background.
"Well, Nick is having some girl troubles. So we though we should ask a girl to see what he should do." Joe said.
"It's nice to be recognized as a girl. I remember one time when your mom started teasing you about liking me and you're just like, 'Mandy's not a girl! She's just Mandy!' I was so mad." Mandy said laughing. Her voice got all dreamy as she thought about the past. Joe laughed.
"Yeah, I remember that. Anyways, so Nick liked this girl, but accidentally hurt her feelings. Now she won't even talk to him. What should he do? Joe said in the phone after Kevin had nudged him with his elbow. Mandy was silent for a little while then spoke.
"Have you tried apologizing?" She asked and I rolled my eyes.
"I already tried that, but like Joe said before she won't even talk to me." I said feeling miserable again.
"Ooh, I see. Hmm…" She said and I knew she was tapping her chin with her index finger. "I have an idea!" She exclaimed happily after a few minutes.
"Really?" I said feeling myself grin.
"Yep! Now listen up closely because I'm only gonna say this once." We all leaned in and listen to Mandy tell us about her plan. It was perfect.
"Thanks Mandy. You've been a real help. I'll call you tomorrow, kay?" Joe said into the phone.
"Okay. Bye." Mandy said before hanging up.
"Well, I gotta go and start setting up for the plan." I said and ran up to my room. I close my door and suddenly had the urge to call Brittney. I didn't do it, though, because I knew Brittney wouldn't pick up.
She was mad at me, but she wouldn't be for long.
