Author's note - Don't own anything

I'd never felt so frustrated in my life. Brad was being a total idiot. School work was building up and everywhere I turn the Jonas Brothers and Stella would be there. I just wanted to scream. Luckily I had Catriona beside me to help me through it

The lessons had started to blend into one another. Days started whizzing past. Everything seemed slightly out of control. Brad and I had started talking again but It had all changed. We weren't the same . He couldn't trust me it seemed. I felt so pent up and angry that I started turning to bad habits that I thought I'd left in the past.

One day it was a English lesson. Our Teacher Mrs Wragg was talking about expressing emotion in stories. Catriona , Brad and I were sat at the back , not really paying attention , passing notes. Stella and Nick were at the front concentrating. Geeks.

"Whatever the emotion , there always need to be an outlet for it " Mrs Wragg said in the background. "The most common release is tears. You cry when you are happy and when you are sad and when you are frustrated and normally you have a reason for crying therefore a story. So class today . We're not going to do any writing . We are going to do some discussion. When was the last time you cried". Some jock in the row in front said "Never!" Everyone laughed as did Mrs Wragg until she stopped in front of this quiet girl in my class. Lucinda. "When was the last time you cried ?" Lucinda looked up thinking "I guess .. I guess when my Dog died last year" Mrs Wragg nodded "Sadness ok " She moved on to this huge jock Matt. "You" He thought "Erm I cried with laughter when that kid fell into the pool yesterday" Mrs Wragg smiled "Laughter ok "

Then She moved onto Stella "You Miss Malone" . Stella smiled "When I went to get a bottle of nail varnish but it spilt all over my coursework which happened to be white. So frustration I guess" Mrs Wragg said "Sorry for your loss" and came to Nick. "Nicholas when was the last time you cried?" You could practically see the cogs in his head whirring. Silence fell "When I said goodbye to someone last year" That coldness in my stomach returned. Blatently not about me . Catriona caught my eye and made a face. Brad just sank lower into his seat

Mrs Wragg made her way along the classroom . People said things like death, hurting themselves and silly things like breaking a nail. She finally got to me and Catriona . Catriona was first " Catriona?" Mrs Wragg enquired. I knew the last time Catriona cried. It was the night that Nick left me . Catriona never cried but that night she sat and wept with me. "When my friend was hurt" She said simply. Mrs Wragg nodded and moved to me "Out of frustration" I said and left it out at that . I couldn't say "Oh well Miss my ex boyfriend turned up ripping open old wounds and causing me to fight with my current boyfriend who happens to be sat next to me now" . She seemed happy with the answer "Bradley?". Brad caught my eye "When Dobby died at the end of Harry Potter in the books" The class laughed. I smiled and held his hand under the table. See this was more like the Brad I agreed to date. He was funny and not afraid to be stupid and there was no drama! It was then that I decided to make more of an effort with him. I'd hate to lose him too.

"Ok Class Here's what I want you to do . A description of the last time you cried. Don't involve names or whatever if you don't want to . It only has to be short but emotive to make me feel why you cried. Tuesday please . Have a good weekend" The class made its way out and I grabbed Brad's hand and dragged him to the side. "Hey Brad , You wanna get ready and stay over mine tonight for the party. I feel like we haven't spent some proper time together" I used my fingertips to walk down his arm . "Special time y'know" He smiled vibrantly and caught my mouth in a hungry kiss. "I'll get my stuff and come over yours after school" I smiled and turned to walk away only pausing to say "Don't be too long" I tried to walk seductivly knowing that he'd be watching as I walked out into the car park. Oh my goodness It was raining so hard .

Screaming about my hair getting wet I ran across the parking lot . Chucking my school bag in my car I turned my radio on . Burning up by the Jonas Brothers started playing. Oh crap . I quickly put in my mix cd labelled party and "Tonight" by Enrique Inglaisias started playing. Much better. I reversed out and came to the exit of the carpark. I turned and started driving singing along. There was someone ahead who was practically dripping. Oh shit it was Nick . Should I offer him a lift. I speed past him so he wouldn't see me but my guilty conscience wouldn't let me. I pulled in around the corner knowing that he'd walk past. I was right.

"Nick" I shouted opening my window "Nick". He turned around slightly startled. "I'll give you a lift. Its pouring" He stopped "You don't have to.." he started ."Just get in the car" I gritted my teeth resisting the urge to drive off. He got in , taking his hat off and I turned up the heat for his benefit. We drove off in silence. "Thanks I really appriciate this" He said. "Its ok" I muttered "My Mom brought me up right" . He smiled "How is Julie" . I breathed in deep "Fine, She's away at the moment in Cali" Silence.

I skipped through the next couple of songs until I got to "Kiss yourself goodbye" by the All American Rejects. It began to play and I froze. Nick had sang this to me after I said it was one of my favourite songs. He hadn't wanted to because clearly its about breaking up with your girlfriend but I begged him. At the time I like his version but now I just loved the passion in the reject version. If I remembered then surely he did. Silence once more until he began singing the words. Oh my goodness. I felt like turning the song over but that would be rude. Finally we were in his street. "Here we go" I said quietly. "Thanks" he said "You going to Meg's party?" . I nodded . "Well see you there " he said awkwardly. He turned to walk away and I started driving away. There was a car coming into the road . It was Joe and Kevin. They'd seen me . Oh great , Bet they were all going to have a nice chat about me now. I gritted my teeth and kept on driving homeward bound...
