JESSICA
All I wanted was for SUPERCUTE Damon Ross to notice me. Did he? Of course NOT.
But geek-extraordinaire Ronald Rheece noticed.
And he’s been acting like he’s my BOYFRIEND--gross!
But nobody actually thinks he IS, right? RIGHT?
OH, NO!
I leaned back against the lockers, feeling sick. I was the one who’d started this--who’d screamed out the secret I had sworn I wouldn’t tell.
Out of the corner of my eye I could see Damon standing there. He’d seen the whole thing and was probably more convinced than ever that I was Ronald’s girlfriend, or a nutcase, or just the meanest girl at SVJH.
Blindly I broke into a run, heading for the safety of the girls’ room and wishing I could run away forever.
I’d ruined Ronald’s life and lost all hope of ever going out with Damon--all before first period.
