I Was Wrong

"You look like you needed a friend," He said eating his pizza. I pushed my pizza aside. I look really disgusting when I eat, it is really embarassing. I hated sitting across from Jason and eating, but I bet he didn't even notice.
"Well, thank you, but I'm fine," I said hoping he would believe me.
"Really, because just last week I saw you sitting with Samantha and Jason and today I see you are sitting...alone," He said not sure if I was sitting with the "nerds" or not.
"Fights suck," I say sipping on my milk.
"Yeah, they do. Do you want to talk about it?" I do want to, but I didn't want to tell him about my crush on Jason.
"Well, my friend is mad at me because I didn't want to talk about Jason saying I love you to her," I shortened it up and I left out why I didn't want to talk about it.
"Why didn't you want to talk about?" Really? He just had to ask that question, didn't he?
I lie, "I'm just jealous because I never had a boyfriend," Well that is sort of the truth, but falling for Jason did not help the whole situation.
"I understand," he said putting down his pizza.
"So, you've never had a girlfriend," I say really hoping he says he never did.
"No, I have had a girlfriend. We had a long relationship and we exchanged the I love you's, but she cheated on me with more than one guy," He said almost about to cry.
"I'm sorry, but I'm always here to listen if you want to talk," I say patting him on the back.
"Thanks," he says.
"You're welcome," I said with a small smile.

After school, I rushed home to clean the house. It was a mess and Mom never did anything to clean the house because she is usually out of the house doing something.
I clean the living room for about an hour, the kitchen takes about two, the bathroom was only ten minutes and every other room I just closed the door because I'm to tired to do the rest of the house. Since the doors are closed, I hope he gets that he shouldn't go in there.
The phone rings and it's Sam's mom.
"Hello?" I ask. Why would she be calling?
"Hi," she says.
I couldn't think of anyhting else to say other than, "Why are you calling?"
She says, "You haven't been over in a couple of days and I was just wondering ifevery thing was alright between you and Sam. Sammy isn't telling me anything," Sam's mom is the only one that calls her Sammy, she has been calling her since Sam was a baby.
"Yeah, it's just Yolanda's has been busy lately and I haven't had the time," Lie, lie, lie.
"Oh, well come over whenever you want, okay?"
"Sure," I said and then hung up. Yeah, I'm not coming over any time soon that's for sure.
