S-*Looks over at him*
G-*Whispering* Were you scared? *Laughs quietly*

G-*Whispering lower to them so I couldn't hear*
UAJ-*Starts laughing a lot and whispers to Gregory* Dude.. That's hilarious!

S- K. Thanks Liby.
L- You're welcome Liby! *Runs to soccer feild and get's Gregory to talk to her*
G & L- Blah, blah blah. I wish I could talk to him... *They both look at me*
S-They're too far away to see. (Talking to Briana)
B-Yeah.. I wish we knew what they were saying...
S- Yeah... *Getting a depressed feeling*
Ger- SHELALABIIIII!!!! (Another nickname from people)
S- Hey Geraldine.
Ger- What's wrong? Why aren't you hanging with Gregory?
S- He won't talk to me...

L & Ger- *Runs over* Hey...
L- Shelbi.. just be calm ok. He's not mad.
Bell rings-10:50- Next class
Ger- *Tries to calm me down* Hey.. You know you don't have to cry over him. I don't know what's gonna happen. But if he breaks up with you, just be calm Ok?
S-*Starts to cry* I can't help it Geraldine. It's been 2 years since I started liking him. He finally asks me out and some people are saying he's gonna break up with me? I can't take it.
Ger- Look.. Shelbi.. If you cry and he sees you, he's gonna think you're crying for him and then he's really gonna not like that.
S- Ok... *Breathes* I'll try to keep my mind off of him. *Whipes tears*
Ger- Ok. It's time for class to go to CL and see you at lunch. Bye.
(CP means computer Lab)
11:20- Universal access-
S-*texts Gregory a lot* No answer...
11:50- Bell rings- Lunch time
Ger- Hey.. Are you Ok?
S- Yeah. I've texted him so many times. No answer.
Ger-*notices my binder* Omg.. You still have those?
(I had two papers that I wrote about him. They were all about how great it would be for him to notice me and how geart it would be if we were together and right then how happy I was... Ect.)
S- Yeah... Why?
Ger- C'mon. Let's eat first and I'll tell you.
(we're sitting down at a table by ourselves)
S- I don't know what to do.. I think he doesen't like me.
Ger- Shelbi.. Stop. Remember the spanish soap Opera i told you about (title protected for safety)? Beautiful on the inside, ugly on the outside?
S- Yeah...But I don't think he watches it like us.
Ger- So what. Okay.. Imagine her as you. (Okay) And now Imagine Gregory as one of the guys. (Nice..) And now some other guy as the last guy (Oookay.) What happends here?
S- (Speaking as the girl in the soap) I'm the ugly girl with the heart of gold. Two hott hott guys really like me. I really like them back but I don't know who to choose. (Even if I do know who to choose.) Omg... (Speaking as myself) Geraldine, that's right.
Ger- Exactly...Shelbi you and I both know that you are so nice and you have a heart of gold. That's probably why he likes you.
S- I hope so. I would choose him over any boy in the world. Even if the most famous, hottest, best voiced boy asked me out, I would choose Gregory.
Ger- Even if Greg was poor?
S- *Nods* Yeah. Two years... 2 years is a long time. I wrapped my mind and life around him. Now that we're together... I just don't know.
This part is important
Ger- Let's go show him those papers you wrote. You never told him.
S- I guess...
(we leave the lunch room and head towards the feild)
Ger- GREGORYYYYYY!
G- *Ignores her*
S- Gregory! (casually yells loud enough to hear me)
G-* Runs over* Yeah?
Ger- *Gives him papers* Be serious Greg. She wrote these for you so long ago.
G- Alright. I'll read them right now.
S- *Smiles at him* (He smiled back. I love his smile.)
G- Wow. *Kinda laughs*
Ger- GREGORY STOP LAUGHING! Read it without laughing.
G- OK! *Reads it*
S- I wrote the colored one before we were together, and the other one while we are
Ger- Hey be right back. *Runs over to some people*
G- Hey.. Shelbi?
S- Yeah?
G- You know... This is really swwet in all but...
Ger- *Comes back.* Ok what now?
G- Never mind.
S- NO NO! Continue... (Uh oh... Here we go. )
G- I like you.. But I don't like you, like you. You know? I like you as a friend.
S- Oh...
G- Can we still be friends? I like talking to you and stuff but.. You know.
S- Yeah..(pause) Sure.
G- Alright. Cool.
S- *Walks away (To Geraldine) with harldy noticable tears* Geraldine?
Ger- Omg.. What's wrong Shelbi?
S- *Starts to cry* It's over between me and him.
Ger- Aww. Dude. Okay. Stay strong Shelalabi. I'm gonna play soccer so I'll see you in class.
S- K. *Walks away to the biuldings and sits down*
(It was about 1 minute before I looked over in the feild. It took me a while to take in what just went on. I seen him and I just burst into tears.)
FS- OMG! What's wrong Shelbi? What happened? (All of them were gethered around me hugging me and asking what's wrong.)
S- (drowning in tears. I couldn't see, couldn't hear, couldn't breathe, couldn't even stand. That's how bad it was.) He broke up with me you guys! I knew it! I knew it! I wasn't pretty enough. I wasn't good enough for him! I knew this would happen!
(Everyone was panicing and Jazzee seen everyone around me and she seen me crying.)
J- Shelbi! What's the matter girl? What happened?
(everyone told her what happened)
J- Omg dude. *She ran over to him and started screaming at him*
I couldn't hear or understand what they were saying... Just then Jazzee came running back.
J- He said he's sorry and he wants to go back out wit chu.
12:30 -Bell rings- Last period
S- I don't know anymore. I'm so confused.
(We all went to line up.)
Ger- I can't breathe... (She ran over to me from half the feild and all of the blacktop as fast as she could. That's a long way. She panicked.)
S- Uh-oh. Rhonda! (The safety person) Geraldine can't breathe!
(Rhonda came over and led us to the office. She was telling me about getting over guys. When I told her about the 2 years.. She stopped. We were all over the place until Geraldine could breathe again. And we went back to 5/6 CL for the rest of the school day.)
2:15- Bell rings- End of the day
S- *Rushed off to the bus so No one could telk to me.*
L-(on the bus) Shelbi... He's not worth your tears.
S- Liby.. I think he is. I can't believe this happend.
L- Liby... I'll text him Ok? Just to see what's wrong.
S- Ok. (The bus stops where I get off.) Gotta go, Liby. Bye.
L- Okay. Text me later, Liby.
--Ever since then (May 11) I've gotten this depressed feeling. I called him 100 times. I texted him 100 times. I don't know what else to do but wait until Monday...
Depressing story, huh? I've never had this bad feeling before... See you.--
