Invisible
Chapter 6
I seriously didn't know what to do. I stood in the hallway for ten minutes, staring at the address written on my hand.
63 eighth street
How could I live so close to a person, and never know they were my neighbor? My house is 60 eighth street. I live like 2 houses across the street from him.
The bell rang, interuppting my train of thoughts. I had to go to study hall in Ms. Richard's room. She was really easy going so I doubted I even needed to show up, but I needed to stop thinking about Jake.
What did he mean when he said he'd "never treat a girl that way. Especially a girl like me?"
A loser? He'd never be mean to an ugly girl? 
I walked into Ms. Richard's room and took a seat in the back corner. Never again would I sit in the front. Kate ran into the room with Dylan hanging on her left arm. They sat in the two seats to the left of me. I wonder if Dylan had the right intentions. I wasn't even sure if I should doubt Cam yet. Jake said all the perfect things, Cam said all surprising things. Who to beleive?
The way Kate was lost in conversation with Dylan made me realize she had NO idea about the Cam situation. She would have been very, very mad if she knew what might be going down. I figures since she wasn't paying much attention to me I might as well text Lauren and "plan" out what to do with Cam.
"Hey Laurie it's Maura. Plan time. Now"
I waited a good 30 seconds before getting a paragraph sent back.
"Okay here's the deal! You can't let Cam know that you know ANYTHING. You have to go looking hot. Like no jeans anymore. You are wearing my purple dress I wore to Mark's graduation party okay! I will come over and we will plan everything out. You can drop the bomb to him later on. Now you need to make him wish he never told anybody he didn't love you okay? And if he stands you up, I'll break his face." 
Sounded like a simple plan. I could deal with that. 
I started thinking about Jake again, and his gelled blonde hair, and perfect white teeth. He was too perfect, but I think that might be what I needed.
The rest of the school day went by as a blur. When I got home I changed into a really pretty violet crop top, and skinny jeans with flats. I scrunched my hair a bit and put on some makeup I had bought with Kate. I looked decent enough to go to Jake's house.
"Mom, I'm going out, I'll be back." I yelled while I opened the door.
No response. Typical from my workaholic mom. 
I ran into the winter breeze over to Jake's house. I really should have put on a jacket. 
I got up to the door, and after much debating, I rang the bell. 
A familiar face opened the door.
"Hey Maura! What brings you over?" Said Mrs. Collins my algebra 2 teacher. 
Jake Collins. I am so stupid not to be able to think that one through.
"I'm here to see Jake," I said smiling at her.
"Oh he's upstairs go on up!"
I walked past her into their warm house and walked up the stairs. I went to the only door that was closed in the hall, assuming it would be his room.
I took a deep breath as I entered.
"Hey Maura!" Jake said laying down on his bed throwing a ball at the ceiling. 
"Hi Jake..." I said standing awkwardly by the door.
"Sit down Mar. It's time to talk"

Hmm... talk? about what? What will Maura do? I'll post later tonight<3 Feedback rocks:) So does requests? I'd love to hear from ya
