Lost and Insecure
Chapter 4
“You should have listened to me Bailey,” Mackenzie said coming up behind me at my locker, “I was trying to protect you, but now it’s too late. He broke your heart and there’s nothing any of us can do about it.”
“Who said he broke my heart? He didn’t talk to me for one day, I think I’ll live.” I said.
“Oh, you didn’t hear?”
“Hear what?”
“He asked me to go to the homecoming dance with me today.” She said trying to sound like she felt bad when she obviously didn’t.
“Well I hope you have fun.” I said and walked out to Spencer’s car. When I got there she wasn’t there yet, but I could see her walking this way with her boyfriend, Logan. When they started to get closer I saw that Logan’s brother, Jason, was walking with them. Great, I thought. I didn’t like talking to people in the first place and I really don’t feel like talking right now. When he got in the car I put my head against the glass and didn’t talk to anyone.
“So was today as bad as I said it was going to be?” Spencer asked, obviously talking to me. Worse, I wanted to say, but I didn’t.
“Yeah pretty much.” I answered.
“Did he talk to you?”
“Nope, and guess what.”
“What?”
“He asked Mackenzie Kane to homecoming.” I said and Spencer gasped.
“No he didn’t!” she said in disbelief.
“Yes, he did.”
When I got home I went straight upstairs and did my homework. After I finished I went on the computer and went on Tumblr. I kept thinking about how Mackenzie said Sebastian asked her to homecoming and I wondered if she was lying. Should I text him? No, he probably wants nothing to do with me now. He’s too embarrassed to be seen with you. I picked up my phone and then set it back down right as it started to vibrate, it was Sebastian. “I’m sorry about today.” It said.
“It’s ok I guess.” I answered. I waited a few seconds and then he said,
“I don’t know why I didn’t talk to you. It just seemed like you didn’t want to talk to me.”
“How did it seem like that?” I answered
“I don’t know.” Was his response.
“So Mackenzie came up to me again today.” I told him.
“Oh great, what did she say this time?” he asked.
“Um, she told me about how you asked her to homecoming.”
“Oh, people know about that already.” He said, confirming that Mackenzie was not lying, but he was last night.
“Oh, well I hope you guys have a good time together.” I lied.
“Bailey it’s not what you think. Mackenzie’s family is friend with mine and my parents told me I had to bring her or else I couldn’t go. I had no choice.”
“You always have a choice Sebastian.”
“No, you don’t know my parents Bailey.”
“I don’t have to know them, everyone has a choice, and you just made yours. Goodbye Sebastian.” I stood up and put my phone on my dresser and then went down stairs. My parents went out for a dinner with my dad’s work so it was just Spencer, Logan and me. I went into the kitchen to get a drink and when I turned around I saw Jason sitting on the couch watching TV.
“Oh you’re still here?” I asked sounding a little startled.
“Yeah, my parents think we’re out with our cousins so I can’t exactly go home without him.” Jason explained.
“Oh.” I said walking into the living room and sitting on the other couch.
“So what happened with you and Sebastian?” he asked, as if he didn’t already know.
“Well I fell for him, he said he fell for me then he kissed me and now he’s moved on to the next girl.” I said, trying to leave out the pointless details.
“I’m sorry about that. He must be a real jerk to let you go.”
“Thanks. But the worst part is, I knew it was too good to be true but I believed it anyway.”
