One More Minute With Him

Just the Crush

“I can’t believe this is happening. I mean come on are you for real on the Gale?” Cody asked.

“Yes I am sure about this. I do know that she doesn’t like people seeing her that way, they were hidden in a false wall that I came across when I fell. I didn’t let her know that I had found them and I’m sure that if we want to use them against her then I can get back into the house and get them.”

Kaylee and I calmed down some and were getting back up to stand next to them.

“We have to use them. I mean what else would we have on her if we don’t?” Bandon asked.

“That’s the thing, we have nothing else.” I answered.

“Then Gale when can you get back into her house?” Cody asked.

“Tonight I pretty sure that I can.” Gale moved from one end of the room to the other. “but I would have to go now if I going to make her think she won.

“Okay but what are you going to tell her?” Kaylee said.

“I don’t know what it is that I’m going to tell her, but I’ll think of something. I’ll see you guys around.”

I watched as he walked out of the house.

“What are we going to do now?” Kaylee asked.

“Watch a movie?” I point out.

                    After that night to weeks past and I didn’t see much of Bandon. Kaylee would tell me that she would see him after school when she was with Cody. I was freckling out over winter finals so I told Brandon that I need study time. At first I was studying with him but that would soon turn into us removing our clothes and added a bed. I’m sure you can figure out the rest of the problem. After five days of that happening I told him that I need to study and he was really upset about that.

 When I would up I was alone in bed.

I looked around the house and found no one. There was no one besides me here. I looked at the time. Nine. It was Friday and school was would be in second hour. I rushed around like a mad women getting ready.

I drove to school five mile over the speed limit. I rushed into the school and found Brandon with Michelle. They were laughing about something when I walked up to them. They stopped once I was next to them. I looked to Michelle first. She recovers well. I couldn’t tell that she had a black eye. You cant see it. I wouldn’t even know that she did if I wasn’t the one to give it to her.

“Arianna what is it that I can do for you.” She asked.

“Nothing. Brandon can we talk?” I asked.

“Umm well sure what is it?”

“Without her.” I raised my noise to her.

“Umm Ari sweetie what every you need to talk about you can say it in front of her.”

“Well then, this is how its going to be. I want you to come over tonight. I want to spend some one on one time with you. I miss you.”

“Arianna.” That was the second time that he called me that, something isn’t right.

“I was going to go with Michelle to the movies.”  Yes now I know nothing was right.

“Yes see Arianna you thought you could steal my boyfriend and get away with it your wrong.”

Michelle was in my face. Oh how I wanted to hit her again. But being in school I wasn’t going to.

I turned and started walking away when I was stopped.

I turned back to see Bandon holding my arm. “I’m sorry.” He said. I looked from his hand on my arm to his eyes on me. The look in his eye told me that we had to talk. And that scared me to death. I didn’t like the feeling.

I walked away after that. I wasn’t going to cry beside. I know that it was the end to the happy ever after. I walked to three hours and as I walked in to the class room I was push from the door way. I was flipped around to see Brandon.  I looked down the hole to see Michelle watching.

“I’m sorry Ari but Michelle and I are still two together.” I need nothing more for this not to happen right now.

“Bandon I understand. I was just a crush, she is the love.” I pulled away from him. I was just about into the class room when again I was pulled back. I turned and slapped him across the face. I stood there as his face grows red with the spot. I cover my mouth with my hand. I just slapped him. Why?  

                    I stepped back and ran.  I didn’t know where I was going but I had to get out. Bandon and I were over and Michelle had won. Gale was never able to get the photos of her from her house and Cody and Kaylee went back to fighting. Everything that we planned off was over and not going to happen. Michelle had won once again and I was now the one kissing the dirt. I was down at the bottom of everything again. Kaylee was my only friend again. I was just that girl that was friends with Bandon back in sixth grade.

I couldn’t be at school for another minute. I was skipping. I walked out to my car and got in. Once in, I let the tiers fall. I had nothing. No one to love me, and for me to love.
