After the disaster that was yesterday I decided not to even think about guys for a long time. No exceptions.
I got dressed, this time not even bothering to look nice. There's no need for it now.
I slung my backpack over my back and stepped out onto the driveway.
The bus pulled around the corner and I climbed on. I slid in a seat near the back. I pulled out my phone and started a text conversation with Aly.
Me: Hey.
Aly: I heard what happened. I also heard its on YouTube.
Me: great. Just great.
Aly: what r u gonna do now?
Me: I'm giving up guys for a while.
Aly: good for u
I shut my phone and looked up. Jake was sitting next to me with a smile on his face. "How's it going?"
"Better then yesterday if that's what my out wondering." I smiled slightly.
I saw a head stick out of the isle. Ben. I frowned and Jake stared at him. "Whatcha lookin' at?" Ben's head disappeared.
"Nice." I smiled at him, disguising my pain at having to look at Ben.
"You okay?" Jake looked at me.
"No." I frowned. "I'm having some serious problems with my love life and I really wish I could just forget it all, even for just an hour, a minute even." I realized what I was saying and stopped. "I must sound like I'm crazy."
"No. You aren't crazy. I know what you're going through."
"What?" I asked. How could he know what I'm going through. He doesn't even know what I'm going through!
"Don't ask. But I know what you have been going through and I think I know a way to get your mind off it."
"Really." I'd do anything to get my mind off of this disaster and I told him so.
"There's a fair tomorrow. Nothing takes your mind away from reality like a fair." Jake beamed at me.
"Are you saying we should go to the fair tomorrow?" I asked, unsure what he was implying.
"That's exactly what I'm saying." He smiled, probably hoping I'll say I could.
"Then yes." I didn't even have to think. Maybe I'd have a good time. Maybe I'd forget about the guys. Maybe I'd even escape reality for a hour or two.
Then I remembered that I was going with a guy. Maybe I could get heartbroken. Maybe he would dump me once we got there. No! Jake wouldn't do that.
"Yeah. I'll go with you." I smiled.
"Thanks." He smiled as the bus screeched to a stop in front of the school.
No more guys? Maybe I can make an exception...
