A few days later…

I’ve been trying to take my mind off my mother’s hospital visit. I made a ‘will you be my boyfriend’ card for Dave yesterday. After our kiss, I really got the courage to finally go after what I want in life, instead of wasting all the opportunities. I’m going to give it to him today in class. Anxious doesn’t even describe how I feel right now, sitting behind my desk, waiting for the teacher to disappear so I can give it to him. Blowing off some steam by sighing loudly, I shift in my chair as the teacher goes for a drink. Dave’s sitting only a couple of tables away from me, so now’s my chance.

I get up from my seat and walk toward him, my legs shaking underneath me. Every time I look at him I get butterflies in my stomach. The kiss we shared is still swirling through my mind, making me deliriously happy.

Standing in front of his table, I mentally prepare myself before handing him the card. With quivering fingers I let it go as he looks up at me with a confused look on his face. His eyes dart down to the card and for a moment my heart stops. What will he say?

A smile forms slowly on his face, his eyes glistening from amusement. Then suddenly, loud laughter escapes his mouth. It becomes louder and louder as he taps the card and beckons his friends to look at it.

“Oh my god,” he says, “Look at this.”

His friends start laughing too, and a flush spreads across my face. I don’t understand why they’re laughing.

“She’s asking me to be her boyfriend?” he asks, laughing out loud, completely ignoring the fact that I’m standing right in front of him.

“Pathetic!” one of them yells.

I frown. “What?”

“Oh honey,” Dave says, a pitiful look on his face, “You didn’t actually think I wanted to be with someone like you?”

“What do you mean?” I say, tears welling up in my eyes. “You kissed me.”

“That was all for fun.” He laughs. “You really don’t get it, do you?” Suddenly, he rips the card to shreds and throws the paper in my face.

“It was a joke. It was all a joke!” he yells, laughing hard.

Everyone in the class is looking at me, my face red from anger and shame. Tears stream down my face. The guys grab pieces of paper that have fallen down to the table and throw them at me again. My heart shatters, visibly, as I cry my eyes out and run out the classroom. Some students follow me to the door, laughing the entire way, laughing at my misery.

Storming to the bathroom, I slam the door behind me and lock myself inside a stall. Emotions overwhelm me as I fight desperately to control this mess. I can’t handle the negativity, the hurt, the pain of betrayal, and the mere fact that I was used for their amusement. Dave tricked me into thinking he liked me so he could make a fool out of me in class.
