This is a story I've made up, so please comment, rate, and read! Please, if you have suggestions, share them with me.
Dearest Jessica,
I have missed you, dearest love. I've been waiting for your answer to my question, and I will be needing a reply soon. I will not wait forever.
If you can't remember my question, here it is:
Will you be my girlfriend again?
I don't have much longer here in Pennsylvania, since my family is moving to Colorado two weeks from now. I will be expecting your answer next week.
Yours truly,
Michael
Jessica read the note that had been stuck to her locker door that morning. The 16-year-old pushed her bangs out of her face and sighed. It was the second note from Michael this week. "How are we supposed to be together if he's all the way in Colorado and I'm here in Pennsylvania?" Jessica pondered aloud as she pulled her long, dark-brown hair over her shoulder with the hand that wasn't holding the note. When will he realize that I'm not as interested as people say I am? Jessica thought as she frowned at the note.
"He just doesn't give up, huh, Jessica?" Jessica jumped at the voice next to her. As usual, Maria, the most popular and snobbish girl in school, had decided to get into Jessica's buissness. "Maria, what's this got to do with you?" Jessica frowned at the tall, skinny blonde who always seemed to appear out of nowhere. "Oh, just noticed that you were here and I thought I'd drop by to see what you were doing." Maria said in her sickly sweet way. "By the way, you're going to be late for lunch." Maria smiled her snobbish way as Jessica glanced at her watch in surprise. For once, Maria wasn't joking. She WAS going to be late for lunch. "Oh great." She muttered. "Well, catch ya later, Jessica!" Maria flounced off towards the cafeteria. "I sure hope to catch you later, Maria." Jessica said sarcastically. She walked into the large, smelly cafeteria and headed for the lunch line. Jessica's best friends Anna and Kayla slipped in line behind her. "What's the poison today?" Kayla jokingly asked Jessica. "Looks like green mush, sticks, and a log in bread." Jessica told her friend. "What is it REALLY?" Anna asked. "Spinach, french fries, and a hot dog." Kayla told her with a flip of her short, black hair.
"Um, Jess, I saw a piece of paper stuck to your locker door this morning. Was it from Michael?" Anna asked as the the lunch line moved forward. Jessica nodded "yes" as she grabbed a lunch tray. Kayla grabbed her tray and frowned at the spinach, which DID look like green mush. Anna picked up her tray and stared at the burnt french fries. The lunch ladies placed on Jessica's tray a mountain of spinach, a very small amount of french fries, and a hot dog. As soon as Anna and Kayla had their lunches, the trio sat down at an empty table. Michael walked up to them with his lunch tray. "Hello ladies," He said with a hint of an Austrailian accent. "May I sit with you?" Michael eyed Jessica as he said this. "Sure, Michael." The three girls answered in unison, though Jessica would have liked to say "Get lost." Or something to that effect. Michael slid into the chair next to Jessica. Anna and Kayla giggled like second graders as they watched Michael. Jessica shot them a look that said "Stop it NOW." Kayla stared down at her food and picked at it, while Anna shoved some spinach into her mouth.
"So, Jessica, what are you doing this weekend?" Michael broke the silence that had settled over the table. "Um, this weekend? Well, I was, um, thinking about, er, going over to my grandparents' house to spend the night, because my grandfather isn't doing well and, um, my grandmother needs all the help she can get with caring for him, so I thought I should go and help them." Jessica lied, blushing. "We'll be right back." Anna said, and with a flip of their auburn ponytail, she was leading Kayla to the restroom. Some friends, Jessica thought as she frowned at her hotdog, Real friends wouldn't leave their other friends with a guy who is flirting with that friend. "Oh. Well, did you get my note?" Michael's voice interupted Jessica's thoughts. "Uh, the one that you stuck to my locker? Yeah, I got that one." Jessica bit her lip as she said this. She knew what he was going to ask next. "Well?" Michael asked her. "Huh? Oh, look at the time! Sorry, can't answer your question now, Michael. Bye." Jessica got out of the chair and speed walked to the trash can, leaving a bewildered Michael sitting at the table. This feels like second grade all over again! Second grade with 16-year-olds, that is. Jessica thought as she threw her food into the trash can and made a beeline for the cafeteria door.
