Chapter 16

Brendon was waiting at my locker after school, and he asked me how things were going. Maybe it was because the moon was in Taurus, which was always a bad time for me, but something inside of me just let go.

“Like you care. You didn’t even take a minute before you started seeing someone right after we got into an argument, so excuse me if I don’t take you seriously when you ask how I am,” I said.

“Seriously? You didn’t return my calls. I tried.”

“That was you trying?”

“Oh please, I tried to talk to you again and again. I threw my dignity away, but I could never do anything right—”

“—I’m sorry you feel being genuinely sorry ruins your dignity. You never got it at all. You didn’t understand why I was mad. How was I supposed to be okay with you saying you’d go to a dance with another girl?” I said.

“I know exactly why you were mad, and I had no idea how to convince you I wasn’t with Lauren—” He stopped and ran his fingers through his hair. “I tried to make it up to you a million times, and you just wouldn’t let me. Emme, I can’t talk about this right now because I have a meeting. I have to go,” he said, walking away.

I had wanted him to turn around and tell me every day without me had been awful and to swear he’d never take me for granted, but he didn’t. Instead, I went to meet Kylie and Zach.

“Emme? Where were you? C’mon let’s go,” Kylie said. “Geez, what’s the matter with you?” she asked after I brushed past her.

“Nothing,” I said, and we walked out to the parking lot. She switched the radio on in the car and flipped through the stations. She stopped on a Sweetie Gals song. What were the chances I’d hear a four-year-old song that reminded me of Brendon today? I leaned across the seat and changed the station. She raised her eyebrow at me, but didn’t say anything. She didn’t speak to me until we got to my house.

“So what’s wrong? I’m sorry I was such a jerk before, but I’ve been PMS-ing today,” she said.

“Trust me, she’s yelled at everyone today,” Zach said.

“It’s okay. I was late because I ran into Brendon and he—ugh! I mean you realized you were rude and apologized, so why can’t he ever apologize? Why are guys so insensitive?”

“I thought he did apologize,” Kylie said.

“Only because I got mad at him,” I said. “He doesn’t even get why I’m still upset. He thinks he can just say ‘sorry,’ and I’ll forgive him because he’s cute.”

“Did he say it like, ‘oh well, sorry,’ and then expect you to just forget about it, or did he say it like he realized he had messed up and wanted to fix it?” she asked. “The dance thing—yeah, it’s major, but maybe he wasn’t thinking.”

“He claims he tried to make it up to me, and I wouldn’t let him.
