My alarm goes off and I get up. It's 6:30am and I'm not late for class thankfully. I grab a cute light pink top and a white skirt with my white chuck converse. I put my hair in a ponytail and put a little makeup on and head downstairs.
"Good morning Elle" my mom says.
"Just call me Ellie mom please"
"Oh whatever. I gave birth to you so I can call you what I want" my mom says laughing.
"Ok I got to go. I love you" I say as I walk out of the door.
I head over to the coffee shop and grab a small black coffee.
"Good morning Ellie" I hear behind me and turn around.
"Oh... good morning Jackson" I say startled.
"You never texted back and said goodnight last night" he says.
"Sorry I was tired and fell asleep" I say.
"I guess beauty sleep is a real thing" he says.
"... what?" I ask confused about what he just said. Did he just call me beautiful?
"Never mind" he says rudely seeming mad and walks away.
I grab his wrist to try and stop him and ask what's wrong.
"Move your hand" he says jerking his wrist from me.
What the hell was that about. I didn't do anything this time. He came up to me and started talking not the other way around! He has no right to be mad at me.
I run outside and yell for him "Jackson wait" I say.
"What Ellie?" He asks harshly.
"What did I do?" I ask.
"Nothing. I just don't want to get too close to you. I have to go" he says.
Too close to me? What does he mean?
"I just want to be you're friend Jackson. Why are you being rude to me?" I ask.
"That's the problem. You want to be my friend" he says.
Why is that a problem?
"You don't want to be friends?" I ask.
"I don't want to just be you're friend" he says as he gets in his car.
"What do you mean by that?" I ask.
"Just forget it I said shit to you" he says and drives away.
I stand alone dumbfounded by our conversation. What is wrong with him and what does he mean he doesn't want to just be my friend.
I shake the thoughts out of my head and go to class.
"What do you think Ms. Parks?" Asks my professor.
"I'm sorry what was that question?" I ask.
"What do you think about Jane Austen?"
"I think she's amazing. She's the most famous and sensible author in English literature" I say.
"Very good" my professor says.
I can't keep my mind off of Jackson and what he said! He doesn't want to just be my friend. Maybe I should text him.
"Hey are you okay?" I ask and send to him.
No reply. What did I do?
Maybe he will be at the party tonight. It's held at the same house it was last time. I'll go and see if he's there.
