Love Hurts

She watched Hayden walk through the hallway like a God. His hair touseled just the right way, his muscles perfect and his smile that shone throughout the hallway. He walked with such confidence and I couldn't help but stare. She sees him glance towards her and smile. Her heart starts racing as he approaches her.1

"Did you drop this?" He asks as he gets to his knees and picks up her purple pen. He hands it to her with a smile.2

"Y-y-yeah. Th-th-thanks." She stammers the words out probably sounding like a complete idiot. He laughs.3

"You're cute when you stammer." He says as he walks away. She starts gasping for air, as she has a slight panic attack. Hayden Micheals just called her cute! She smiles at him and fantasizes him asking her out and how perfect they would be together. That is until she sees him with her, She feels my heart break. There he is holding hands with Ms.Perfect Andrea Winters. Every guy worships her. She's beautiful, blonde, skinny, a cheerleader and super popular. She can't help but get angry with jealousy as they walk together hand in hand. That girl is such a fake, and he doesn't even see it. She sighs and feels like crying. Why must she be so jealous of her? Why must she make her hate herself? Why must he love her?4

She walks into history, the one class she has with him. He's sitting on his desk with all his football buds around him, chattering away cracking jokes about the latest parties. She feels like going over there but if his friends saw a band geek like her approach him, they won't let him live it down. She decides to take my normal seat in the corner by herself, probably looking like a loner.5

"Erica!" She whips her head towards Hayden who apparently called her name. "Why are you sitting over there? Come over here! There's an empty desk to my right reserved for your pretty face." He smiles his award winning smile. She hesitates but makes her way to the seat next to him, pushing her glasses up. Was he doing this as a bet or was he actually interested in her? Uh-oh. Andrea walks in and sends a death glare to her. She's obviously in Andrea's seat. Andrea sits two rows behind her and she can feel her eyes burning a hole in the back of her head.6

"Why did you ask me to sit here?" She manages to say as Hayden sits down. He goes to speak but the teacher comes in interrupting their conversation.7

"I'll write you a note." He says as he quietly rips a piece of paper out of his notebook. She can't help but blush. She wonders how Andrea feels now. She watches him write but tries not to make it obvious. He writes so swiftly and fast with his right hand. Before she knows it the white piece of paper is on her desk, folded neatly. She opens it quietly, smiling. She has butterflies in her stomach. Whose the jealous one now Andrea?8

you seem cool.9

That's all it says. She feels her heart crush. The bell rings and she just sits there as she stares at the note like some freak. Andrea walks by and embraces Hayden, kissing him gently on the lips. Erica crumples the note in jealousy as they walk off. She gets her bag and walks off. 10

"Stay away from Hayden." Andrea says to her, a red tint in her eyes. She almost growls the words out.11

"Why should I? He thinks I'm cool." Erica replies confidently. 12

"Haha. Bitch, he's only saying that as a bet. I heard him and his friend Tyler making it. Whoever befriends the most band geeks by 7th period wins. You're just another one of the geeks. I win again." She laughs loudly as she flips her hair over her shoulder. Erica can't help but rage with jealousy and hurt. She won, again.13

She sulks the rest of the day, managing to avoid Hayden the best she can. By lunch time she's trying not to let the jealous monster inside of her get the best of her. Hayden approaches her table, where she sits all alone. He sits down and kisses her on the lips. Erica looks at him in total shock and confusion.14

"I like you." He says as he wonders off. She sees Andrea glaring, it's her turn to be jealous. She approaches her and slaps her. 15

"I told you to back off." She warns. By now they are both standing up, about to go at it any second. Hayden approaches them and stands there with his arms crossed. Their eyes are green with jealousy towards eachother as Hayden stands their amused.16

"Sorry but I can't date either of you." He walks away laughing. Erica hears him high five his buddies. Love sucks. Angry with his actions and still jealous of eachother they pull at eachother's hair like five year olds and smack eachother around. Jealousy can get the best of you sometimes. . . 17
