Chapter 3: "Confrontation"
Jasmine was devasted. Cody has a girlfriend? How could it be? How come he never told her? All these thoughts and more rushed to her head. Now, she would never have a chance with him. Just then, her cell phone rang. She got a text from Cody. It said that she should meet him backstage. He had something important to tell her. Important? She knew what the important news was. Immediately, she went backstage to find Cody with…that girl. Her eyesight began to get blurry. She had to be strong. Jasmine couldn't let Cody know right now, in this situation, that she liked him.
"Hey Jazz, you made it!" Cody exclaimed.
Of course I would make it, you told me to come!
"I'm busy, so say what you want quickly," she lied.
"How's this for short, Carrie and I are back together!" he almost screamed.
"What?!" Jasmine blurted out.
This can not be happening. My life is over.
"I knew you'd be happy for me!" (he smiled)
Sure, I'm real happy…
"When did you guys get back together?" she asked.
Like I really care…
"Yesterday. I felt that I was missing a huge part of me," Cody answered.
Maybe you were just hungry.
"You're everything to me, Cody," Carrie said.
"You're everything to me, Carrie," Cody replied.
I am going to barf.
"What'd you say?" he asked.
Did he hear my thoughts?
"Nothing. I'm just really happy for you guys," Jasmine lied again.
Great, Cody is with his old girlfriend, Carrie the snob. She sighed. When would she ever get the chance to tell him? "Be patient," was what she told herself the first time they met. Jasmine didn't know how much longer she could be patient.
