Chapter 1
“Party. My house. Tonight. And you all are invited”
Tony told our group of friends.
“Are you sure your parents are okay with this? Last time we got caught”
“Yeah bro, I'm not getting in trouble”
There were ten of us at a lunch table.
“I'm in”
I told him.
He high fived and fist bumped me.
“What I'm talking about man! Jess come on, your best friend is coming!”
She looked at me, she grined.
“Fine, only if she wears pink for once”
The group laughed.
“Good luck with that!”
James yelled. I smiled at him.
“Good luck with what? What are you guys trying to get my girlfriend to do this time?”
I turned to see Mike. My boyfriend, he kissed me and sat down next to me. There's another guy and he sat down next to Mike.
“Oh, guys this is my cousin Jake, be nice”
He said.
“Nice is my middle name”
I told him. He kissed me and tickled my side and I squealed and laughed.
“I know you well enough to know that's a lie”
He said. I kissed him to get him off of me. It worked.
“Dude! Party my place! You in? Your girlfriend is coming you better not say no!”
I nugde him playfully.
“Yeah! It's been a while since I've had a good date night with you! Come on baby! Come with me!”
He through his head back groaning.
“I can't!”
He said.
“What?! come on?! It's only going to be us 10, maybe 11 even the new kid comes! And your the life of the party!”
“Yeah, you always know how to have a good time”
I whispered in his ear. He chuckled Swolowing food.
“That's why I can't come, that and I'm being shipped off, for 2 to 5 months, I gotta go to New York”
No. He can't. I'll miss him to much.
“But, by then we'll be out of school”
I said. He looked at me with pain in his eyes. He took my hand and took me out of the cafeteria. He let go of my hands.
He turned around and my heart dropped.
He's breaking up with me.
I started crying.
He knew why.
“We've been together since 7th grade! Why are you breaking my heart now?!”
I asked.
“I'm moving, Maggie, they have better paying jobs there, and I'm not coming back, and I don't want to be in a long distance relationship, you know I love you it just has to be this way, I'm sorry, take care of my cousin for me, please?”
He kissed my forehead.
He ran out as soon as the last bell rang.
He didn't even say goodbye.
