            Thankfully my next class was French, so Adam wasn’t going to be in there. I would be free of wanting to look at him every five minutes to see if he was feeling anything. During class, I just spaced out, and luckily I wasn’t called on to speak out or answer any questions. I sat in the back of the class, which is probably why he didn’t notice me spacing out.

            After fourth period was lunch. I normally pack my lunch, so I went into the cafeteria and sat down with my group of friends at our table. Some days our table would be totally over crowded, even though it could seat like twelve people.

            Sitting down, I lied my head on the table, not really in a mood to eat. The table shifted a bit and I heard a frustrated sigh as someone sat across from me. Looking up, I saw Lennie sitting there with her head in her hands.

            “Rough day?” I asked, shaking her arms.

            “All girls are bitches. Tiffany broke up with me last night, and now she’s flaunting it in my face. I hate them all,” she growled. Yes, Lennie was a lesbian, but she was one of my good friends, besides Layla. With her dark brown hair, lanky limbs, and her beautiful green eyes, she was the envy a lot of girls in the school. The guys all hated her because they thought she was hot, but they couldn’t have her.

            “I’m sorry Len, but stuff happens. I’m sure you’ll find another person sooner or later,” I said patting her on the back.

            “Are you open for the position?” she joked. We always had this joke after she had just broken up with one of her girls, or she would try to cheer me up after a guy had just dumped me.

            “You’re proposition sounds nice Lennie,” I started off looking her square in the eyes, but I saw Adam came into view. “But I am actually taken,” I said as he passed by without glancing at me, “even though he’s totally ignoring me at the moment.” I cast my eyes downward, and tried not to be upset.

            “So, all the rumors about you and him are true then, eh? I’d say congratulations, but I can’t when he’s ignoring you. Don’t worry chicka; I’m sure that you two will work it out. You’re best friends, and nothing can change that. Even if you two are now dating,” she said reassuringly.

            “I hope so,” I muttered, casting a glance at him. He was laughing at something that John pr someone on the other side of the table said.

            I spent the whole lunch period talking to Lennie and other people who were on the side that I was sitting. Every once in a while, my gaze would go to Adam, but he never once looked over at me. It was upsetting me a little that my best friend was ignoring me, so I didn’t touch my food at all.

            “No wonder you’re so skinny D, you’re not eating anything,” Kenny scolded me, while looking at my lunch bag that was still closed.

            “I’m just not hungry Kenny. I don’t feel too good today, and eating would just make me feel worse,” I said with a fake smile.

            “But you need to eat girly. We have a soccer game tonight, and you need all the strength that you can get. You’re one of our best players, and you’re also our Captain. What kind of model would you be for the younger players?” Lennie scolded me. Yes, Lennie was also on the soccer team with me, which is another reason she’s one of my good friends.

            “Don’t worry. After school, I’ll go home and eat enough to get my energy. I promise I won’t let you down,” I said giving them my best smile.

            “You better not. Remember that we only have a few more games until we play our biggest rivals,” she said waggling a finger at me.

            “I know,” I sighed. “Hey Len, can you do me a favor and give me a ride home from school today?” I asked hopefully.

            “Sure, I guess,” she said confused. “But why can’t you drive yourself home? Is your car broken or something?”

            “No, it’s not broken. Adam gave me a ride to school today, and he has cross country right after school, so I have no way to go home. That’s why I asked,” I said hoping that Adam didn’t hear me talking about the car situation.

            After that, they left me alone about not eating anything. I just laid my head on the table on the bell rang, waiting for it to be fifth period. I was listening to what they were saying, but I wasn’t really paying attention. My thoughts just drifted, thinking about what all had happened yesterday and today.

            First Adam wants me to pretend to be his girlfriend, and now he is completely ignoring me. If I knew this would happen, I could have told him no, and went on the date with Justin instead. Speaking of Justin, I’m just glad that he hasn’t confronted me yet today. Next thing I knew, I was being shaken.

            “Come out of your thoughts D. The bell just rang. You don’t want to be late for fifth period, do you?” I heard Lennie’s voice enter my head.

            Shaking my head, I gathered my crap and got ready to head to my locker to put my uneaten food in there, grab my books for English, and then head to class. Standing up, I noticed that Adam was still sitting in his seat, also spacing out. Not knowing if he heard the bell or not, I waved my hand in front of his face, snapping him out of his thoughts.

            “What?” he snapped, looking at me.

            “The bell rang. I didn’t want you to be late for class,” I said coldly, and turned away without glancing back at him. Quickly, I walked away from the table, unable to believe that Adam had just snapped at me. I don’t know what’s happened to him. Ever since we started this lie, our whole friendship has been going down the drain, and it’s tearing me apart. A tear slowly escaped my eyes, and I wiped it away before anyone could see it.

            After going to my locker, I made it to class and sat down in my seat and just stared off into space, waiting for class to start. Unfortunately, this was another one of the classes in which I had with Adam, and he sat right next to me. He sauntered in and took his seat next to me a few moments after I sat down.

            “Dev, I’m really sorry that I snapped at you,” he said as he leaned over next to me.

            I just slightly nodded my head, accepting his apology, but refusing to actually look over at him. It still hurts, and just one apology can’t change that. He turned back in his seat as the bell rang, and Mrs. Morris started class.

            Our class was currently reading Shakespeare’s “The Twelfth Night” We were told that we would be put into groups, and we would be given a scene to act out in front of the class for a grade. She told us that she was allowing us to pick our groups, or in some cases partners, and all at once voices flooded the room.

            I just sat in my seat, waiting for someone to ask me to be their partner. As the voices quieted down, I slumped in my seat, wondering what to do now. Looking about the room, I tried to see if anyone still needed a partner when I felt a tap on my back.

            “I still need a partner Dev,” Adam said, looking down sheepishly.

            “Fine,” I said softly. Adam nodded his head and sat back down into his seat.

            “So, does everyone have a partner?” Mrs. Morris’s voice rang out through the room. All across the room there were murmurs of “yeah,” and people nodding their head. “Great. Now, there is a scene that is only done with two people. Do we have a group of two in here somewhere?” she asked hopefully.

            I shrugged, and Adam and I raised our hands.        

            “Oh, how wonderful. You two have my favorite scene in the entire play. Your scene is found on the following pages,” she said pointing to the board where she had written all the scenes, along with their page numbers.

            Flipping through my book, I stopped at the scene we were told to do. My eyes widened, as I realized that it was one of the love scenes. I gulped and looked over at Adam, who was showing no signs of emotion, just like he’s been doing all day.  After all of the groups were assigned a scene, we were to talk it over with our group/partner. Yay, I actually get to talk to Adam while he hopefully wasn’t upset.

            “So, what do you think of the scene?” I asked softly.

            “The scene shouldn’t be any trouble for you two, since you’re a couple,” one of our classmates joked, and poked his friend in the side.

            “Ha ha, that’s so funny I forgot to laugh,” I said sarcastically while rolling my eyes.

            “Dev, just ignore those idiots,” Adam said trying to calm me down.

            “Just like you’ve been ignoring me all day?” I said softly, holding his gaze.

            He let out a sigh of frustration and grabbed onto one of my hands. “I’m sorry about that, I really am. But after our talk earlier, I just had something on my mind and it was best if I didn’t think of anything else. So I couldn’t really talk to you.”

            I nodded my head as if I understood, but I could tell he wasn’t telling the whole truth to me. “Don’t worry, at least you’re talking to me now,” I said with a half-smile.

            “What was going on earlier? You walked out of the coir room and then came back in looking like you cried. And then at lunch you didn’t touch your food at all. Are you okay?” he asked with concern.

            “I’m fine. I was just really upset that you weren’t talking to me. I thought that you were mad at me for some reason, and we’ve never been that mad at each other before that we ended up not talking. I was upset at the thought that I was losing you. You mean the world to me, and I didn’t want that to happen,” I said softly.

            “You’ll never lose me Dev, I promise,” he replied, just as soft. “So, you’re really going to get a ride home with Lennie then, huh? I was going to let you drive my car to your house and then drive it back when you came up for the game, but I guess not,” he smirked.

            My jaw dropped. “You were going to let me drive the Charger? But Adam, that car is basically your baby!” I exclaimed.

            “I know. But now that you’re riding with Lennie, just forget about it,” he said as he leaned back in his seat, watching my expressions.

            “This is so unfair,” I said slapping my hand on the desk. “Do you think that I could drive it if I told Lennie that something else came up?”
