A stupid decision made by me is going to cost at least 10 people their social lives. I know, I know, that sounds impossible, but for June and her posse of flowers (I say that because they are all named after flowers: Lilly, Jasmine, Chrysanthemum, etc.) nothing is impossible. I just had to order lasagna for lunch, and had to walk straight into Seth London (aka the HOTTEST guy on earth and June’s “boyfriend”, if that is what you can call him). Bumping into him and ruining his perfect v-neck white tee was the last straw for me, and now all my friends have me to blame for their social lives being flushed down the toilet.
“Oh my God! I am so sorry about your shirt! I wasn’t even looking. I’m so sorry I was talking to my friend and, and I bumped into you, and I’m sorry.” My voice trailed off as I said the last “I’m sorry” because I had finally looked up to see who I had bumped into. My crush, the boy I had been dreaming to go out on a date with for three years now, was standing right in front of me, smiling. Whether he was smiling at me or at the fact his white shirt now had a big red stain on it I could not tell, but he was smiling in my presence. As he reached out his arm he said,
“It’s ok. I have like five more of these at home. Don’t worry about it.”
As he said these words I felt a little nudge of reassurance, but then I remembered whose boyfriend I was talking to. June’s. If she ever found out that I was talking to him, or better yet if she found out I was the one who made that mess on his shirt, she would surely kill me.
“Umm. Look I am reeeeallllly sorry about your shirt, but I have to go now because if I don’t I am probably going to…” but I couldn’t finish my sentence because June had walked up and was currently hooking her arm around Seth’s. The arm that Seth had outstretched. The arm that held the hand that was still touching my arm. As if he were reading my mind he pulled his arm away just as my cheeks turned bright pink.
“Well ,well ,well, look who we have here. Little miss Cammie Jergen. Trying to steal my boyfriend Cammie? Now, now no need to be like that. There are plenty of other boys here at this school you can have. Just not this one.” She ends her sentence by planting a big kiss square on his lips.
“Oh no I was just, uh, well, see I accidently ran into him and um, I spilt my lunch on his shirt, and um, I was just um, saying I was sorry. I am just going to leave now.”
“Now, now, Cammie. Don’t run away just apologize to me and then you can go on your merry little way to sit with your loser friends and talk about science or whatever.”
Now this is where I make the biggest mistake of my life. I could have said “I’m sorry”, and not mean it, but I was done with June pushing me around like I was a four year old girl. So on an act of impulse; I chose to end my life before it began.
“Why on earth, should I have to apologize to you?”
June whipped her head around and looked so shocked you have thought I had just slapped her. “Excuse me? What did you just say?”
“You heard me; I said why should I apologize to you?”
“You will come to regret this day Cammie Jergen. You will seriously regret you didn’t say sorry to me when I asked you to. Consider the rest of your high school career over.” And with that June stomped out of the cafeteria with her “flowers” following dutifully behind her.
“I will come to regret this day. Oh, so scared!” I muttered under my breath
“Did you say something?” Seth replied to my talking-to-myself rant.
“Oh nothing, absolutely nothing. Just talking to myself, pay no attention to the weird girl.” I said nervously. I then let out the weirdest laugh I have ever heard and thought to myself Wow Cammie, way to stay cool!
Any comments, please.
