So Close, Yet So Far Away

Chapter Four

     The next day at school, I saw Angela and Emma, a friend from English class. We all walked into the school hallways laughing and talking like how we normally do. As I turned to my right, I saw Johnathan and his girlfriend, Stacy. I know I've spoken about his girlfriend before, but I haven't really introduced her.

     Stacy. She's classified as that popular girl at school. Stacy has it all. A big house, money, a car, lots of clothes, loads of admirers and... Johnathan. Almost every guy at school has hooked up with her. Stacy is known for that kind of stuff and she seems so proud of it. For Stacy to actually fall in love with someone would be an unbelievable miracle.
 

     When Angela noticed me looking at Johnathan and Stacy, she grabbed my arm and said, "I'll take care it. Just watch." I was unaware of what was up her sleeve. Before I knew it, Emma, Angela and I were standing right in front of Johnathan. I was getting extremely nervous.

Angela said to Johnathan, "You know, Melissa knows how to play the guitar. You should hear her play. She's amazing."
Johnathan then looked at me and smiled as if he were impressed.
"Really, Mel?" Johnathan questioned as he walked towards me.
I loved it so much when he would call me Mel.
"Ye-yeah. I've known how to play the guitar ever since I was 9 or 10." I replied with a huge smile on my face.
"That's cool. So, do you write your own songs?" He asked.
"I do. Well, at least I try to." I said.
As we were talking, I noticed Angela and Emma slowly walking away while taking Stacy with them. A couple of minutes later, the bell rang and Johnathan walked me to my class since our class rooms were near each other. I had English, he had Physics.
After three long periods of English, Chemistry and Math, it was finally time for lunch. When Angela spotted me sitting at an empty lunch table, she rushed over and asked,
"So, what did you and lover boy talk about?"
"Nothing. We just talked." I chuckled.
"Oh. Sharing secrets, ay?" She joked as she took a bite out of her apple.
"No. Not yet I hope." I played along.
"Hey. Look! There's Johnathan. Should I call him?" Angela asked.
"Uh... No. What if Stacy comes along? You know how much I hate it whens he constantly brags about herself." I said.
"I hate it, too." She said.
"Okay. Well, if I don't find anyone next to him in the next five minutes, I'm calling him over." Angela continued.
Surprisingly, Johnathan came and sat right next to me at the lunch table.
My mouth dropped.
