My breaking heart

I sat there, at 3.30 on a Friday afternoon, with my friend Alice. We leant against the front gate of the school. The sun was shining, everyone was in a brilliant, cheery mood, talking about their plans for the weekend: the perfect Friday afternoon. The one we'd all been waiting for since we walked in the front gate at 8.30, Monday morning.1

"Alice! Alice!" I squeeled, shaking her arm.2

"What? What?" she replied, laughing.3

"It's Joe! He's on the other side of the street!"4

"Oh.." said Alice, a little smile playing on her lips, "Joe!" she called out, he turned and looked around until he spotted us.5

Alice and I waved frantically and he waved back at us, grinning.6

"He is SO cute!" I exclaimed.7

"Yeah, he's not bad.." 8

"Bus!" called out a random voice, I looked down the road and sure enough, the bus was coming. I jumped up and walked up to the bus stop, incredibly happy after sighting Joe, the boy that I was in love with. 9

Alice and I sat together on the bus, gossiping about the most important things in our lives: Joe. Alice's boyfriend, Jacob, where we were going on the weekend, what we were going to wear when we went there, what movie we could hire to watch that night, who was coming, how it was going to be awkward because Luke was coming and he's just broken up with Kate; who was also going to be there too.. the list goes on.10

Almost twenty minutes later we got to our stop said "ciao!" and went our seperate ways. I walked home, down the straight, dry street, rejoicing when I reached my house.11

I collapsed onto the couch, watching an hour of the Buffy marathon that was currently on TV- to my delight!  My phone beeped and I recieved an urget message from my friend Bec saying: "Come online now! I need to talk to you!" 12

So I sat up, wandered over the computer and waited for it to load, frantically typed my password and signed into msn.13

"HAYLZ! I HAD A FIGHT WITH SAM IT WAS SO BAD! OMG!!" she exlaimed.14

"Bec, darling, calm down and tell me all about it"15

As she told me her long story, I couldn't help but notice Joe sign in on the corner of the computer, he then popped up and started a conversation with me.  I comforted Bec and helped her talk to Sam whilst listening to Joe (much to my heartbreak) tell me about a girl that he likes.16

Warm tears slid down my cheeks as I replied telling him that a girl I know likes him, but is too afraid to tell him.17

"Who? Tell me! Please" he said.18

"No," I replied, "because she knows you like someone else, and knows she has no chance"19

It went on... and I informed my friend, Rohan about it.  Rohan opened a conversation with Joe and said:20

"She's talking about you"21

"Oh."22
