Best Friends Forever? by thepurplebutterfly (acx book reading TXT) 📕

for her?" He asked.
"Because I'm loyal. Something you have none of." I said.
"You know nothing about me."
"You're right. I don't. You can tell me you actually are loyal but your actions," every bad thing he had done flashed through my mind, "speak A LOT louder then your words." I turned around and we finished the walk to the office.

Sure enough when I pushed the doors open my parents came rushing towards me. They showered me in hugs and kisses. I saw Cameron glare at us enviously before barging in between us saying "EXCUSE ME!" very loudly. I rolled my eyes and walked up to the office desk.
"Um, excuse me I was just wondering if there was anything I had t fill out about yesterday?" I asked politely.
One of the office ladies looked up. I wasn't sure what her name was so I just smiled at her weakly.
"Ah, are you the one that was hit?" She asked.
"Yes I am."
She walked over to the front and passed me a sheet of paper and a pen. "Write down what happened in your words and then give it back to me." She said walking back to her desk.
I wrote down everything I could remember about the incident until my head began to hurt. While I was doing that, Cameron had gone in with Mr Grebert.
"Excuse me? I'm done." I said kindly.
The lady came up and thanked me and took the sheet from me. Cameron came out of Mr Grebert's office.
"He wants to talk to you." Cameron said on his way out. I walked over to his office and knocked on the door.
"Yes?" He looked up from his glasses. "Ah, just take a seat."
I did so and quietly.
"Okay, um have you filled out an incident report?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell me why he punched you?"
"Yes sir, I can try but I have a really bad headache so I'll do my best." I said. He nodded. "Well it all started when I went to go to my locker to get my maths text book after putting my pencil case down on a desk. I walked pout of the room ad accidently walked into him. I apologized and told him I would try not to do it again and he said you better never do it again EVER! I said to him we all have accidents and this was just an accident. Then he called me an accident and it really offended me. I told him he should never tell anyone that because that is the worst thing you can call a person. He said to me not to tell him what to do. So I asked him what his problem was with me and he told me to stop poisoning Jess's mind with the truth which is that he is all about status and reputation. I said I can't lie to my best friend because that is just mean. So he began insulting me and I kept saying that they didn't hurt me. He got really really really pissed about that so he stopped and just went WHAM! and I was falling over and getting concussed which I have the proof to by the way." I said.
"Oh okay." He murmured writing something down. "You can leave." I got up and left. I saw Tom waiting on the couch outside.
"Haha are you here because of what happened today?" I asked
"Hah yes... Bye!! I'll talk to you tonight!" He said.
"You better!" I smiled. He smiled back and left me to go home and hopefully sleep.
The walk

I tried to get a few z's in on the way home but seriously when you have a headache like mine the best place to get reasonable sleep isn't in a moving car. We pulled up at our little wooden two storey house and I managed to clamber out of the car and into my amazing bed with the hour.

I woke up god knows when but I know it was dark... The only light was my iPod and the ominous glow from my iPod dock. I slid the icon along the bar and typed in the password and went through all the messages from my dear friends. Skype had many messages, as did Facebook and kik was going off continuously anyway because of Sammy.

I opened Skype and there were so many messages! From the group chat and my personal chat with Tom. DAMN! Bloody sleep! Bloody iPod! I sent him: Hey I'm so sorry but sleep called!

Facebook.... Eh they'll be fine I want to sleep more! I thought. I turned off my iPod and fell into a desired sleep.

"Sweetie! Jasi!" A kind voice said.
"WHAT!" I groaned.
"Time to get up."
"MUM! The doctor said not to go to school!" I complained.
"Doesn't matter. Get your lazy butt out of bed now!" She said pulling my blanket off.
"NO!" I pulled the blanket all the way up over my head.
"You need fresh air!"
"MAKE ME!" I shouted from under the blanket.
"Okay." She pulled the blanket all the way off the bed.
"Why?!" I said pulling myself up out of bed.
"That's better." Mum smiled and walked out of the room. I glared at her and picked my blanket up off the ground. I hopped back on the bed and hid under the blanket with my iPod. I unlocked it and went through my Facebook messages. I laughed here and there as I read through. I glanced at the time on top of the screen.
10:30
I wish I was at school.
I started going through my Skype messages from Tom. HAY! Where are you!! I need to talk to you!!!
HAY!! I got suspended! Get yo' lazy arse out of bed!
JASI JASI JASI JASI

Bloody hell! I thought. :0 YOU GOT SUSPENDED?!?!?!?! Get yo' lazy arse online and talk!!! Sorry about last night but I had a killer headache :'(

I typed quickly and pressed send.
"JASMINE!"
"COMING MUM!"

I ran down the stairs because I realized I really needed to go to the toilet.
"What can I have to eat?" I said.
"Toast? Eggs? Up to you." Mum said sipping her coffee.
"Okay... I'll just have juice." I said.
"Lazy..."
"I don't care." I replied with my back to her entering the bathroom.

Once I had washed my hands I got a glass out of the cupboard and poured the delectable apple and mango juice. I stood at the bench and gulped it down.
"Why did you wake me up?" I asked putting the glass down.
"Because I-"
"You didn't think I was dead, did you?" I asked curiously.
"Dead? No..."
"LIES!" I pointed at her accusingly.
"Don't point its rude." I just shrugged it off and started back up the stairs.
"I don't care."
"Bad attitude."
"SLEEP!"

I walked up the wooden stairs half asleep. It was so hot upstairs. This is why I dislike summer......a lot. I fell onto my bed and landed on my iPod. The Skype notification noise went off. It was a message from Tom.
HEY! YOUR UP! Anyway yeah suspended... Lucky me.... On my second day... My mum got pissed off...

I sent back a message Well DUH! You got suspended on your second day haha :'( :D Sorry.. hehehe :3 Are you at home today??
Wait ner duh you are...

He sent back Hahaha how smart of you. I was gonna say that. Hay wanna go for a walk along Pearson and McKenzie rd with me? I mean we both have nothing to do.

I sent back idek mum woke me up because she was worried I was dead... She probably won't let me out of the house

"HEY MUM?" I shouted
"YES?"
"CAN I GO FOR A WALK?"
"HOW FAR?"
"JUST UP AND DOWN THE ROAD."
"OKAY!"
Okay I can go.

I sent again.
Right I shall meet you at your bus stop

He said
Okay see you soon

I said. I rushed through getting dressed and brushed my hair and put it in a high ponytail. I waved and smiled goodbye to mum and started the treacherous walk up the hill.

I turned right at the top of the hill and started up the slight slope. I thought about Cameron as I walked. about how he seemed nice and alright but how he then tried to get Jess. About how he punched me. About how he glared at my family and I enviously. He is odd. He is two face. But really we are all people. Maybe he does what he does because of personal problems maybe because he is an only child, I had these thoughts all the way up the road. I went around the bend and then my bus stop was in view. I saw a person wandering back and forth.

As I got closer to the pacing figure I saw it was Tom. I Reached the intersection I looked both ways before crossing to get to the bus stop. I smiled at him when I caught his eye.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey. Hows the face?" He asked sincerely.
"Sucker headache but that'll teach me to aggravate an egomaniac with anger management issues." I joked.
"Hah yeah." He laughed.
"So which way first?"
"Which way gives you more talking time?"
"Pearson road..."
"Down McKenzie we go!"
"If you want talking time why not go down Pearson road?"
"Because we don't need much..."
"Um, okay...."
We crossed the road in silence and started down the hill. I didn't quite understand what was going to happen but I have a feeling that something will.
"Okay, what is the need of talking time?" I asked breaking the silence.
"Um, I wanted to talk to you about something that I have been feeling and I want to tell you but I don'k know how you'll feel about it...." He answered.
"Um okay." I felt the butterflies wake up in my stomach. "What is this feeling?"
"Um I don't really know, well that's a lie I do know how, to put it into to words."
"Oh of course! If it helps you I may feel the same way if its the feeling I'm thinking, actually hoping, it is. If that made sense.."
"REALLY!" He sounded so excited and happy.
"Yes.."
"Okay well I'll just say it quickly then. I like you..." He mumbled.
The butterflies grew fiercer. I felt my breath catch in my throat and I started coughing wildly. I doubled over and fell to the ground. By now we had reached my driveway and I scuttled to under a tree that was nearby.
"Hey, are you okay?" He said rushing to my side.
"Yeah," I said, breathing normally again. "Just choking on air, as you do." I smiled at him.
He smiled and laughed. "So its not because of what
