and stuff, but sometimes I get a little distracted by other things and end up getting bored of shopping. When I go with Katie, she keeps me in line. “ So how about after school? Go straight to the Mall?”

“Um yeah, I’d love to” I think Katie could tell that I wasn't that enthusiastic about it, but she said nothing. “ I need to go and find Jamie.” I ran out of the bathroom, straight to the principal’s office; ignoring everyone’s stares. But he wasn’t there. Out of the window, I saw him walking towards his car, I ran as fast as I could to catch him.

“Jamie, Hey! Wait up!” I started panting as I got to him.

“Gracie I’m sorry about what he said, that was really horrible.”

“Are you okay?” I took hold of his hand in mine, it looked bruised and swollen.

“I just couldn’t stand the things he was saying about you so I hit him. He’s such a jerk for not realizing how perfect you are Gracie. I can’t believe you stayed with him two years.” He squeezed my hand with his.

“ I feel so stupid.” He took my face in his hands.

“No Bug, he should feel stupid. Choosing Stacy over you? There’s no competition with you or any girl at this school, you’re so amazing.” He slowly lowered his face to mine until I lips met and we kissed. In the middle of the school parking lot. I didn’t want it to end but he pulled away. “I’m sorry Bug, I gotta go.”

He got in his car and drove off. He left me stood there, confused.

I decided I’d text my mom, I hadn’t checked my phone since this morning, and she might be worried. I had a text message from my mom: ‘Gracie, just letting you know I’m alive, I’m ill but alive LOL. Love mom. X’ I hated it when she said ‘LOL’ she wasn’t even that old she was 33 for god sake, I don’t know why she acts like she’s 50. ‘Hey mom, glad you’re alive and kicking. I’m going to the mall after school, so I’ll see you later. Love G. X’ For some reason I felt a little disappointed. Jamie hadn’t text me.  I know he never said he would, but I guess I just hoped he would.

The rest of the school day went by like a blur. It wasn't like I was excited for shopping, but at least it kept me occupied. When the final school bell rang, it was like a weight being lifted from my shoulders, the amount of people that came up to me asking about Jamie and what happened, or were me and Jamie together. I gave everyone the same simple answers, that way I know they couldn’t twist anything or make things up. This is why I hated high school, it was based on nothing but rumors. It’s like people need them to live, otherwise they can’t function on a daily basis. The amount of rumors that have been spread about me and Katie, some are so ridiculous, once someone spread a rumor that me and Katie were lesbians; I’m pretty sure that it was charlotte spread it. It soon died down when me and Dan got together. I met Katie at my car, oddly she was already there waiting, I checked my watch to see if I was late but I was on time. Katie was early for once. I decided not to tell her about the kiss until I knew what to make of it.

The drive to the mall took fifteen minutes, but it felt endless with Katie’s nonstop talk about Jakes abs. We headed to our favorite shop; Miss Selfridge. It was expensive, but boy was the clothes cute! We both separated and at met back at the changing rooms.  I had picked out Katie’s clothes, and she picked out mine. I know it’s weird but that I way I knew I’d get nice clothes picked out, and for some strange reason I could pick out other peoples clothes but not mine. She handed me 3 dress, 2 crop tops, a pair of shorts and a cute skirt. I handed her two dresses, three tops and a skirt. We chose booths adjacent to each other.

First I tried on a pink crop top that had the words ‘kiss me’ across the top; wasn't my usual taste. I also tried on the shorts, or should I say short shorts, they looked like they had been made for a 7 year old. Katie shouted to see if I was ready, so I walked out of the booth. She was wearing one of the dresses that I thought would suit her, but apparently not it was ‘way too long’. When I walked out she told me to walk back in and take it off, I took that as a misjudgment on Katie’s behalf. She did the same with the other stuff I tried on except for the last dress; it was red, and had a halter-neck  strap. It clung to my body, which I hated, but this time it felt different. I looked at myself before I went out, it actually looked good. My boobs looked great, which was a plus and it came just a little above my knee. When I walked out Katie’s jaw dropped. Usually, I’d tell her to  stop catching flies, but I didn’t mind it this time.

“Gracie, oh my god you look hot! Now I have to find a dress that’s better, otherwise I'm going to look a tool next to you!” Her eyes dropped to my boobs, and her jaw fell open once again. “Your boobs! Wow! Did you have a visit to the plastic surgeon over the summer?”  She began walking forward, her hands at the ready to test if they were my own.

“ Would you stop!” I pushed her hands away and covered my chest with my arms. “ No, all natural, but anyways this the dress I should get?” I tried my best to avert her eyes that were glued on my chest.

“YES! Of course it’s the dress, Jamie is going to be drooling over you and the fun bags that are placed on your rib cage!” She said with such amazement in her eyes, it was unreal. “ Don't worry about me finding a dress, I have the perfect one at home.”

I didn’t reply, I just walked into the booth and got changed. I had tried so hard not to think about Jamie all day, but since Katie had brought him up, he was all that was on my mind. When I get home, I’m going to text him. Yeah, that's what I'm gunna do. I paid $50 for the dress which I thought was a bargain. I asked Katie if she wanted to come round mine, but she said she said Jake was coming over to work on the science project, I haven’t seen her that excited about science, ever! I didn’t have to give her a ride either because he came to pick her up. I got home to find my mom in the living room with her clothes spread out on the floor and a suitcase and duffel bag beside them, I forgot about her spa weekend, she was leaving in the morning.

“Hey sweetie, have fun? Ooo I see you’ve been spending, c’mon show me what my cash is being spent on!” She waved her hand instructing me to come show her. I got the dress out of the bag and let it fall loose. “Oh wow, that is beautiful honey! What’s the big occasion? You better not be having a party hear missy! I swear to god if I find out you even had more than two people here I will-“

“Mom. Stop, I’m not having a party, don’t worry. Just a friends having a party that's all. Nothing special.” She must have noticed I was nervous about something, I just prayed she didn’t guess that it was Jamie having a party. I’d be the most hated person at my school.

“Oh I get it, there’s a boy your trying to impress?” I looked away,  I knew it. Now I’m going to have to transfer schools! Oh what have I done! “Aw sweetie why didn’t you just say you were going on a date. Jeeze, I’m not going to kill you, I know you’ve been with boys before.” Oh my god, did she really just say that. I could feel my cheeks burning, my mother knew I had sex! Oh no, how am I suppose to cover this one up! I covered my face; my face felt like it was going to explode. “ No don’t be embarrassed! I just want to make sure your going to be safe, don’t want you ending up like me now do we! I’m sorry.” She could barely contain her laughter. My own mother was now laughing at me. Great!

When I was in the safety off my room I decided to text Jamie. ‘Hey J, I was just checking if you were okay? You kinda left in a hurry before I could ask what that was… Text back when you can xx’ I sent it before I could changed my mind. If he text back, it would be perfect, if not well then at least I tried. Maybe I should text him again  and tell him how I feel? No, bad idea, then I have to face him tomorrow at school, and then the party. But I gotta face him sometime, right? I buried my face into my pillow. Why oh why me!

 I felt the buzz of my phone under the pillow. ‘Hey grace, look I some things to think through, see you Friday.’ What was that suppose to mean? I was so confused, it made my head hurt.

Chapter Three




My sleep provided me with an escape for the days in tales. But my alarm clock soon brought me back to reality. The first thing I did was check my phone for any messages. Nope, nothing. Maybe he fell asleep. I had to call Katie, I know I’m only going to be seeing her in an hour but it was important. She answered the second time I called her, she never said hello, just let out a little grunt. “Katie, oh I’m so glad you’re awake. I've done something so stupid. I text Jamie and told him how I felt and he didn't reply! I didn't mean to send it, you know I hate touch screens!” I came up for air. “What am I going to do, I've made a huge mistake.”
“Wait, you did what. Are you crazy! You know you have to face him at school right? And then the party! Maybe you should skip school, that way you don’t see him all day until the party and he may be too drunk to remember.” That definitely woke her up. She did have a point though, I could go and tell my mom I was ill then go to the party.
“Yeah, I’ll see you tonight, I’m feeling a bit nauseous anyways. Let me know if he’s at school!” I got a grunt as a reply too, but I knew she’d
