I Was Wrong

"What?" I asked all of them.
"So, what, are you, like, going out with Ethan or something? I thought you liked Jason," Alyssa asked.
"Why is it any of your business?" Why is it, though? We aren't friends, in fact, we are far from it.
"Because it is!" Sam said stomping her feet on the ground. That was a lame reason, but I really don't care.
"Fine, no I am not going out with Ethan and no I don't like Jason," I don't know if I'm lying. Do I not like Jason anymore? I want to, but something is telling me that I don't.
"Liar," Alyssa said putting her hands on her hips on top of her short jean shorts.
"I don't really need to take this crap from you guys, excuse me," I say trying to get by them.
They wouldn't let me go so I turned around and took the long way. I pass by people self conscious that people are starring at me, but I try to ignore it. I saw a couple talking to each other by the lockers. I wish that was Ethan and me. Ugh! I have to stop. If I like Ethan, it will completely change our friendship and I really wouldn't change it for anything in the world. Anyway, Ethan probably only sees me as his friend and nothing more that than so can't really do anything about it if there isn't a mutual connection.
I see Sam and Jason walking down the hallway. When did she meet up with him? It was only like 20 seconds ago I saw her with Alyssa and her friends. When I see them together, I get a little jealous, but not a much as I did before.
I walk into Science class and see Ethan. I smile. I sit behind him and he turns around. "Long time no see, huh?" He was being sarcastic.
"Yeah, totally," I tried, but I didn't do to good at it. He laughs a little bit.
"Okay class, let's start-" The teacher starts the class, but I didn't bother to listen. I kept thinking about Jason and Ethan.
I want Ethan so bad, but I can't stop liking Jason, or at least I don't want to. What's wrong with me? I mean, people out in the world are at war and starving and I'm worried about liking two guys, poor me. I could be in a country without all the freedom or I could be drinking dirty water. Liking two guys isn't that big of a deal, there are worse things people are going through.
"Jennie?" Why does the teacher always call on me. She probably knows I wasn't listening.
Ethan whispers the answer to me, "Nitrogen," I say to the teacher repeating his answer.
"Good job!" She said pleastantly surprised. Score for me! Ethan did tell me the answer though so I should erase that, shouldn't I?
I tap on Ethan's shoulder and he turns around. I mouth thank you to him. He smiles and then turns back around.
