Be Like Me
Chapter 3
It has been 2 days since the leave I have made at the restaurant. Jonathan hasn't been to school, until today..
I wake up at around 7:36 and dash around the house. My hair is a mess, I haven't picked out my outfit for today, and I haven't showered. I go into the shower and noticed my cell phone that has 4 unread messages. I decided not to look at them until I get to school.
It's around 8:24 when I get to school, and I am late. Great way to start the day. I totally forgot about the messages until lunch. "Hey, Stace" I said while putting my stuff back in my locker, "Hey." She says. "Um, Stacey, you aren't mad at me, are you?" I ask. She replies with "Of course not, but I think the way you acted was extremely unreasonable. I mean, what happened anyway?" I know I should've told her what happened then and there, but I wanted to speak to him first. Maybe I will tell her next time. So, I just settled with "nothing that I can't handle." And with that, we went to the cafeteria.
While we were eating, Jonathan was walking towards our table. I got a bit uneasy, and had no idea on how to explain. "Hey, um, Cathy, may I talk to you for a second?" "Sure." I replied. "Why did you walk out on our date the other night?" he asked. "Well, jonathan, to be honest, I didn't think it would be healthy for our friends." I said. "That's not the real reason why, c'mon, do you think I was born yesterday?" He grew really angry with me, so I decided to just tell him.
After the story I had told him, he was dissapointed in me. He thinks I should've asked him first, which I think would've been unreasonable in front of 2 of our friends. It was after school when he made his appearance again, I wasn't as jittery, but I still had those butterflies I would have when I was first seeing him. "Hey, jonathan" I said as I leaned in for a hug. "Hi, cath, about what happened earlier, I know I made a big mistake, and I have really deep feelings for you. So, can we start over?" Just hearing those words made something do a triple flip in my stomach, made me shed tears, and gleam with excitement. I then replied with "Yes," and kissed him dearly.
