�Can you believe she has the nerve to do that in front of you?� Venessa�s best friend Courtney asked looking at what almost everyone�s attention was focused on.
Venessa felt like she could cry. This was her boyfriend, why was another girl flirting with him. Could she do anything? She didn�t want Justin to feel like she was telling him what to do after all they were talking. But they were talking to close.
Courtney looked over to Venessa. �why are you just standing there? Go get your man.� Courtney said.
Venessa was silent. Courtney put her bleach blonde hair into a ponytail before walking over to Justin.
�Can I talk to you.� she interrupted Justin and Amber�s conversation.
�We�re talking.� Amber spat out at Courtney. She was about to continue the conversation with Justin but Courtney pulled Justin away.
�What�s wrong.� Justin asked stopping in the middle of the hall and looking at Courtney.
�Justin I don�t get you.� Courtney folded her arms across her chest. �You have a girlfriend and you know Amber likes you, so why do you flirt with her when you damn well know your girlfriend is watching.�
Justin looked down the hall and Venessa turned away from his stare. He let out a sigh and then walked down the hall to Venessa.
�Hey babe.� Justin leaned against the lockers.
�Hi.� Venessa looked up at him. He was really gorgeous. Maybe that was why when he flirted with other girls she didn�t do anything. She felt special that he picked her.
�Listen, I�m sorry about the whole thing with talk to her Amber. If you like I won�t anymore.� Justin compromised looking down at Venessa. To him she was beautiful, and to every other guy in school. Justin and her were one of the popular kids.
�It�s okay.� Venessa shrugged her shoulders. Why couldn�t she stand up for herself when it came to Justin?
Yeah she wanted Justin to stop talking to Amber and basically every other slut that was after him, but she couldn�t come out and say it to him. He was sweet to her, but sometimes she felt that he was just as sweet to other girls.
�You sure.� Justin asked raising her chin up to face him. Venessa nodded her head and smiled up at Justin.
�Ok.� Justin quickly kissed her on the lips before the bell rang for 2nd period. �I�ll see you later Bye.�
�Bye.� Venessa said as Justin joined his team members from the football team. Venessa let out a sigh and closed her locker before walking to 2nd period.
The bell rang after 2nd period for lunch. Venessa was walking with her friend Tisha when she saw Amber with Justin again. Amber had her arms around Justin�s neck and Justin looked as if he didn�t want her to do that. He was trying to pull away with being as gentle as possible.
�Why is she always all over him?� Venessa said stopping to watch them without them knowing she was there.
�Because she knows you won�t do anything about it. Girl, you�re going to lose Justin if you don�t tell that girl off, and you don�t want to lose him.� Tisha explained looking at her.
�I know.� Venessa looked down at the floor and then walked with Tisha to the lunch room. Every clique had their own table. Venessa sat at the �prep� table which wasn�t just preps but the most popular kids at the school. Everyone got along with everyone else except with the girls like Amber. They were the type of girls that only were popular because the guys liked them because they were easy, and only got along with the real popular kids.
�Hey.� Justin said pulling out a chair next to Venessa and kissing her on the cheek.
�Hi.� Venessa lightly smiled, before Amber sat across the table from Justin. She looked over at Venessa and smiled one of those bitchy smiles, like I�m going to have your man whether you like it or not. Venessa looked away at her and continued her conversation with Tisha.
�Hey Nessa come with me to get some lunch.� Courtney said dropping her pink Jansport backpack on the table and then unzipping one of the pockets to get her lunch money.
�K.� She scooted her chair out from under the table. They walked into the lunch line and waited behind about 20 kids, waiting to get their lunches.
�So, what did you and Justin talk about?� she asked nosily.
Venessa shrugged her shoulders. �He wanted to know if I wanted him to stop talking to Amber.�
�And, you said?� Courtney asked. This was such an easy answer. Venessa better have said yes. All of her problems with Amber would go away.
�I.. I didn�t want him to feel like I was like trying to run his life.� Venessa said biting down on her lip. She knew what her friend�s reaction would be.
�Venessa!!!!!� Courtney practically screamed attracting everyone�s attention towards them.
�Sorry.� Venessa said, letting everyone go back to their own business.
�What is your problem? You had the perfect opportunity. What�s wrong with you?� Courtney asked looking dead straight in Venessa�s eyes.
�I�ll deal with it myself okay.� Venessa said.
�You better.� They got to the cash register and Courtney got a water and a bag of chips.
They walked over to the table and Amber�s hand was on top of Justin�s. When Justin noticed Venessa�s presence he pulled his hand from underneath Amber�s and smiled up at Venessa. She rolled her eyes and sat down back in her seat. At that moment Venessa felt the urge to do something. She kicked Courtney who was sitting in front of her and Courtney leaned across the table so Venessa could whisper her plan in her ear.
Courtney nodded and whispered into john, her boyfriend�s ear. 5 minutes after that John looked at Venessa and Courtney.
�Hey, Justin come with me I need to talk to you about the football game tonight.�
�Ok.� Justin stood up from the table and once he was far enough everyone else from the table left except Amber.
Venessa sat in Justin�s seat so she was sitting in front of Amber. Amber looked scared.
�Listen, you little fake bitch. I don�t know what you think you�re doing by flirting with Justin but it�s not working. He�s obviously with me so why do you keep trying. There are other guys that would want an easy bitch like you, so why don�t you get them?� Venessa asked keeping a straight face with scared Amber even more.
�Because, Justin has you and I don�t like you.� Amber said staring a battle.
�Well you need to get over it, because what ever you have planned is not going to work, and you�re lucky I�m being nice about this whole little situation but if you keep doing it I promise I won�t be nice.� Venessa moved back over to her seat just as Justin came back over.
�Where did everybody go?� he asked suspiciously.
�I don�t know, they all just left to get food I guess.� Venessa lied, but convincingly.
�Oh, okay.� Justin responded looking over at Amber who was staring down at her fruits trying not to look up at him.
The bell for 4th period rang and everyone scattered from the lunchroom.
Amber was in Venessa 4th period class. They were both on opposite sides of the classroom.
�Pass this to Venessa.� Amber said passing it to a light skinned black girl. The note passed through 10 kids before it got to Venessa. Venessa looked over to Amber who lightly smiled at her and then opened the letter.
Hey,
Um.. I don�t really know how to say this. I am really sorry about flirting with Justin and saying what I did before. I flirted with Justin I guess because I wanted to be like you. All the guys like you, not because you�re easy, because you are attractive to them and have a nice personality. You are so lucky to have Justin and I�m glad that you stood up to me because it made me realize that I was doing was wrong. I hope you can accept my apology. I�m sorry.
Amber
Venessa looked up from the letter and over to Amber and smiled. A half an hour later the bell rang and Venessa ran over to Amber.
�Hey, I accept your apology.�
�Thanks.� Amber smiled and they hugged.
They went to 5th period and after that Venessa saw Justin and Amber in the hall. Justin was talking to some of his friends by his locker and Amber was approaching them. She just walked by them without saying anything to them. Justin didn�t even notice, because he didn�t care.
Venessa smiled and walked over to Justin who noticed her. He pulled her into a hug and then kissed her. He looked into her eyes. �I love you.�
�I love you too.� she giggled before they engaged in another kiss.
