Twelve

Valentine's Day the day of love and broken hearts. Personally, I dread this day every year, except for the years when I was with Kameron. After he cheated on me it just made this day worse for me. I have this habit of getting jealous and lonely when I see couples I don't remember what this certain habit is called but I know it's a pain in the ass to have.

I get up out of bed, not bothering to make an effort to look nice. I did my daily routine lazily. I put my hair in a messy bun and changed from my pajamas and wore sweats and an over size hoodie!

I walk down stairs and grabbed an apple and started my car. I connected my phone to the car blasting BTS. I was not in the mood to dance to any of the songs, which is not usual. BTS is my sunshine when I wake up, but today my mood is really low.

I arrived to school and parked in the student parking lot. I turned of my engine and sat in my car. I hopped onto Instagram and saw everyone was getting hyped by their lovers. Sigh.

I walked out of the parking lot into the school still playing on my phone. Even Khole has gotten gifts from Julian. And like every year Karma has love confessions and love notes given to her.

The twins get a lot of hype on this day. They both are very good looking people and they show it off every now and again. I'm proud of them that's for sure, but I get really jealous form the attention they get.

I sat on the bench near the tree and took a look around. Love is everywhere. There was a couple at every turn of the head. Sigh.

Oh look another promposal. How creative. Maxilana rolls her eyes at the people in front of her. It was Lillian and Yonah. A junior-senior couple.

I feel bad for rolling my eyes, Lillian has always been there for me when my other friends weren't around. She always with me when we have a class together.

She has 5 classes with me in a roll. She sits next to me in Ag Earth science. We're always gossiping about boys in that class.

Yonah is the boy she's been crushing on for the pass year. He's a senior but she doesn't mind. He just asked her to prom and it was kinda cute. I would enjoy this more if it wasn't on Valentine's Day.

I really don't know why but Valentine's Day is the most traumatic day in my life, ever since 1st grade. Can you guess what happened. Of course you can I got rejected, by tiny Remy. Hahahhahahahah okay okay I'm kidding!

Okay, but what happened was a small little boy asked me out and I kindly rejected him, and he pantsed me. He was so embarrassed from getting rejected he wanted me to feel hurt too. So what else do you do as a small child that just got told no. You throw a tantrum. He threw one alright, he also flipped tables and made the teacher cry, you know just normal 1st graders. No big deal.

When I got pantsed that day my crush saw it happen and of course to fuel the fire. He looked at me and said "ew" and walked away.

It was a very eventful day. A lot happened and I remember every single detail. On the plus side of that day I got candy, and threw away all the notes that came with them. Oh and that little boy, I don't even remember his name, I'm pretty sure I've never met him.

I get a message from Khole.

"Girls instead of spending time with my man, I'm inviting you to come hang out at my house."

I replied to her with an okay and a heart. To be honest I want to lay in bed and cry, but I guess going out would be just as good.

3:45 at the Venett household

"Okay so I've planned to spend the day watching movies and eating, lots of eating."

I grab a jar of chocolate and stuff my face with the food from heaven.

We watched all types of movies, I had a few scares and a couple of tears here and there. After we watched To All The Boys I've Loved Before, I decided I wanted to leave. They urged me not to go but I really wanted to be alone at this point.

8:36PM at the diner

I arrived at the diner in my beautiful car. I sat there making sure my hair and face looked okay and got out of the car slowly. Locking the car behind me I entered the diner. Walking to my usual spot. The place was crowded couples everywhere. "Can I just be able to enjoy my food without seeing a couple"

When I walked up to my booth, I noticed that someone was already sitting there. I didn't want to sit somewhere else so I tapped on the persons should- Holy trinity he's HAWT!

"Oh um...yeah"

"What?"

"Oh I mean hehe...can I sit here, this is where I usually sit and um" I point around the diner showing him there's no where else to sit.

"Okay, just sit here I haven't ordered yet so...yeah"

"Thanks" I slide into the booth and looked at the menu.

"Hey since you are sitting here why not get to know each other"

"Sure, I guess"

"Okay how 'bout we play 20 questions?"

"How 'bout 10" not wanting to tell a stranger my personal life.

"Well okay"

"You first"

" okay what's your name"

"Maxilana my friends call me maxi, you can call me Maxilana"

" oh I see!"

"Okay how bout you what's your name"

"It's Grey, but you can call me your lover"

"Okay I knew you looked familiar, and your name"

" oh so you know me?"

" Who doesn't know you, I might be the only girl that knows you that hasn't been defiled by you"

"Ouch, how can someone like muah defile anyone"

I chuckle.

He smiled. " you're pretty cool"

" hahaha you're just saying that because I could be your next victim"

" wait a second, I wouldn't call the victims, they lined up to be with me"

"I could understand why, I won't lie you're good looking, but lining up to have sex with you isn't something I would do"

The waitress walked up to our table looking drained.

" can I take your order"she gives us a half smile.

"I'll like a hamburger, and a root beer"

She looks to me. "I'll have what's he's having"

"A big eater huh"

"Is that bad?"

"No it's a good thing actually."

"Well thank you then."

We eat our food in silence getting to know one another. Grey isn't a total bad guy, he's actually pretty cool. I think he gave up trying to impress me, instead he just wants to get to know me.

I get a message on my phone...it's Remy.

Lana are you on a date?!

What no are you crazy you psychopath!

So that isn't you sitting in the next booth from Nina and me?

I look up to see him giving a stern look.

I am not on a date, what does it matter to you anyways!

It does matter, you're my friend I should care...

Care about what exactly?

The guy you are with is a total man whore and you're just gonna give yourself up like that!

You really don't know me, I have enough self respect to know not to throw myself at some random guy, is that what you think of me? As a girl who is so easy I would sleep with anyone! Wow Remy, real smooth!

You know that's not what I meant!

Fine.

I continued to get messages from him but I really didn't want to deal with him. I look up to Grey, he has a curious look in his eyes.

I chuckle and tell him it's nothing. The bill came and paid my half. I got up a left to my car parked outside. Grey came out of the diner and walked to his car which was right next to mine.

"Ooh nice ride!" I say when I see his car.

"Yours too,hey do want to maybe go watch a movie sometime. I really think your cool!"

" um sure why not, here call me" I give him my number.

He smiled genuinely

I waved goodbye and entered my car first, and drove off.
