THAT WASN’T THE PLAN


               She then paused, swallowing her words.
               “Okay, what happened after?” I rushed her.

               Nellie blinked as her long eyelashes curled up. “I told him what

          we were doing in Literacy class—and also what you were doing with
          Chris. But he didn’t seem a bit happy about it. I mean, I don’t know, he

          just frowned, slammed his locker, and left.”
               I pulled back into the seat, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion.

          Why  would  he  be  upset  about  that?  Jayson  barely  cared  about  my
          feelings for boys or even talking to them. He used to take videos of me

          crushing and having a meltdown whenever my crushes talked to me

          and told me he’d show them to me when I grew up, and I’d just cringe.
          I knew it was a joke—we were very young, and we didn’t care. He still

          has those videos, but now… he acts so weird when I’m around boys.
