What Love Means, Janet Nenni [good books for high schoolers TXT] 📗

Chapter 1


When I saw you, my mouth was watering and my body felt like it melted into a puddle of love. Until I saw you kiss her. It was like it was dream and then I woke up. It was as if the world stopped just so I can have enough time to run to the girl’s bath room to cry. I couldn’t breath and I couldn’t think, because the third period bell rang right when I started to wipe the mascara dripping down my face from crying. As soon as I walked into science class I took my seat and started to pull myself together again. I could feel the tears coming again. When my best friend Anna came and sat next to me she said "what’s wrong?"

I couldn’t help but say "love" .At first Anna thought I meant I got dumped. Then I told her what happened and she told me she was sorry. I started to cry and everyone stared at me. The teacher told me I could go to the bathroom. Anna came too.” Only if I knew love was so painful!" I said. Anna said I could come over after school to tell me more. I could tell that she wanted to get to class, so I told her to go back and I will be fine. She said to come and get her if I need her. I said ok.

When school got out I went to Anna’s house. When I knocked on the door Anna’s mom answered, she said "hello Joanna! Welcome in, Anna’s up stairs.” When I reached Anna’s room I heard her talking to some boy. I was hoping she didn’t ask Marc to come over to talk. As soon as I walked into her room, Marc was there sitting on her bed. I was so angry, but I held it all in. When I sat my bag down on the flour I tripped over a cat bowl so I landed on my butt in the corner. And Marc helped me up. I said thank you and sat on the dresser right across from him. Then we started to talk. First I said calmly "who was she and why?” Anna said it didn’t matter who it was but why. I said it did matter and surprised to find out that he kissed Anna! I was so sad and angry. So I just grabbed my bag and ran down stairs out the back door. I couldn’t comprehend it. So when I got home I called hunter, Anna’s boy friend to tell him that his girlfriend kissed my boyfriend. He said good to know and hung up.

I didn’t know what was going to happen, but I knew it was going to be a major heart throb for both me and Anna.


Chapter 2


The next day at school I went to the consoler and told her everything. She just said to talk to them both at different times. So I can get both stories. I told her that is what we tried the first time and that’s the reason why I am here. So she sent me on my way with no tips and nothing to help. I am going to have to figure it out myself.

I just found out that Hunter just broke up with Anna. I feel really bad. It’s my entire fault I called him to tell him she kissed Marc. But she made me. If she wouldn’t have kissed Marc than they would still be together. So I think I should forgive Marc. My mom says all men are worth less. Only because my dad divorced her on their honeymoon, when I was 5.
