The year passed by in a breeze and I ended up dating Angel. Turns out, Aniza, another girl in the class, was Roman's girlfriend. Roman was "hers" and was strictly "off limits" so i dated Angel. For about 4 or 5 months and I broke up with him. I guess the feelings I had for him just died out. He was sad at first but I think he got over it.
We could go to both the classes because it was the last week of school and, I had a new crush. I call it a crush because I've only liked him almost 2 days. His name is Josh.
His friends pushed him towards me and- he tried backing up but this random kid Anthony yelled, "Will you go out with Josh???"
I was completely shocked because I didn't even know something like this could happen. As far as I knew he didn't have any feelings for me.
I turned into a new friend of mine Daniela introduced me to, Paulina and asked her what to do. She told me to say yes.
So I complied.
I gave a swift nod of the head and all of Josh's friends went insane. I didn't know for what reason though, I didn't think, I didn't have any clue as to the heartbreak I would experience just the following week.
-------------------------------
Josh and I didn't talk the entire time we were dating. I tried to, but to no avail. Its fine though because he at least liked me...right?
On the last day of 5th grade, I wanted Josh to come into the classroom since some of Mr. Ram's kids were here in ours. Michael, Daniela's boyfriend at the time and, Roman. They were sitting in the back on some chairs talking to Alex, because they were his friends. Aedon was back there with them. Natalie, Daniela, Paulina, Aniza, and I were sitting just a little ways in front of them.
We talked, looked though our yearbooks and chatted about totally random things. I asked Michael to go and get Josh because it was the last day and I wanted to at least talked to him once.
"Okay." Michael told me. He headed off to the other classroom and came back about 5 minutes later and told me,
"He said he'll be here right now. But- Come here."
"Okay..." I sulked, disappointment evident in my voice.
I followed him away from all our friends and he turned to me and flat out told me,
"Josh doesn't like you, he doesn't care for you at all. It was a dare."
"Pfffft," I scoffed, "No he's not..."
I walked back and sat down not caring to heed the warning he gave me.
Michael went over there multiple times to get Josh, but he never came.
---------------
Two girls from the other class came over, Nadia and Diana. They told Ms. Harry that Josh wanted me and I reluctantly got up. Before we walked into the door, I paused.
"What?" Diana said, turning around to face me.
"Is he gonna break up with me?"
"No no no, nothing like that. He just wants to talk to you thats all."
I refused to look at her face. If I would've never made that mistake, I would've easily saw through her right away. Instead I hid my face, and walked forward into the classroom.
I politely said hello to Mr. Ram and advanced towards Josh where he was sitting on the floor by the back wall next to some girls. When I got near him, the girls kept saying to "do it already".
He smiled a little bit sheepishly and said,
"No, i can't. I can't do it."
"Do what?" I said getting somewhat annoyed with the lack of information.
Diana spoke up,
"He's going to break up with you." She said all to happily.
I stood up a bit straighter not trying to let her think she got the better of me and said,
"You lied to me. Wow."
"It was all a dare, he never really liked you."
I narrowed my eyes as tears started to form, I gave her the dirtiest look I could muster at the time, and my heart was beating so fast I could hear it in my ears.
"Okay..." I said trying to keep my voice as steady as possible and succeeded although it came out as little more than a mumble.
I stormed out of the room and before I could leave Nadia said,
"Do you need a hug?"
I didn't want to seem more vulnerable than I already was so I replied with rather harsh "No."
I kept on trying to leave so I could hurry up and let the tears fall freely from my light brown eyes and turned to see the person who called me. Mr. Ram.
"Boys, am I right?"
"Yes. You are. They all suck."
I finally made it into the hallway and was about to get back into my classroom but before I did, I took a deep breath and wiped my eyes. I begged myself not to cry and to save it for later, and I turned the cool handle and walked into the door.
All my friends stood up or looked up and asked,
"What happened."
I sat back down in my seat and shortly said,
"He broke up with me."
They immediately asked things like, "Why?"
I couldn't stop the river of tears and just began reciting what happened. I got the yearbook that I had bought and crossed out the faces of Josh, Diana, Nadia and a few more girls that were there. It was purely out of anger from what just happened. I could see Roman, Michael, Alex, and Aedon watching out of the corner of my eye and I called Michael over to the side.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Not believing you about Josh. He did exactly what you said. He never liked me. You were right, I should've listened to you." I looked at my feet and refused to meet the intense gaze I knew he was holding on my face.
"It's fine. You didn't know any better and you liked him. I would've done the same for Daniela." I threw my arms around his neck and buried my face into his chest. He put his arms around my waist and I just stood there hugging him crying a little bit. He didn't complain and he didn't move or anything until I pulled away, seemingly satisfied with the hug.
Michael and Daniela had been together for about a month now, and I really shipped them. Well- Michael was a good guy to her. He loved her and he tried talking to her all the time. She was the problem. She would find any excuse possible not to talk to him. And whenever we would try to get her to say something to him, she would change the subject or talk to us and purposefully avoid speaking directly to Michael. It was unfair. He was giving his all to that relationship and it sounds rude to say, but- she wasn't acting like a girlfriend towards him at all.
------------
We spent the rest of the day talking and laughing and enjoying the time we had together.
Natalie's at the time, ex-boyfriend Daniel, was acting kind of distant but it was really funny when he put on these joke glasses with a fake mustache and when we started wondering where he was during lunch, he spoke up and said,
"Guys im right here."
He was standing some distance away from us and wasn't doing anything but standing there with the glasses and fake mustache on and I don't know why but we just found it so funny.
---------------
The end of the day came too quick and that was the end of 5th grade. Just the beginning of our little "love story" here.
