So like I said earlier, Matthew is a pretty predictable guy for a person as popular and handsome as he is cause he hangs out at the splat-burgers everyday at 5pm sharp so June and I were hoping that he'd keep the routine today when we got there ten minutes early. I'd made June sit in Matthew's special seat by the window( Just too predictable hunh?) While I hid behind a large black sun hat and glasses half the size of my face and waited with my fingers crossed. June gave me an extremely worried look while I gave her a thumbs up and a smile. She shifted worriedly and played with her soda straw. Matthew walked in at 5pm sharp and ordered a cheeseburger and choco soda like he always did
( I think I should seriously consider a career in the FBI. Like that's ever happen!) and sauntered down to his booth. When he saw June, he moved to sit behind her when June held his hand and stared at him in surprise.
" Hey aren't you Diego Sanchez?" She asked, sounding like cruella. I was like 'go girl!'. When he smiled at her.
" Yeah. And you are? " She held out a hand.
" June Walls. We have the same Eng.Lit AP classes" " Is that so? Well then that's nice right?"
" Yeah. Guess so. Hey why don't you join me"
" If you don't mind"
" No not at all." He drew out a seat beside her and they talked about some BORING William Shakespare theories or something. At 5:10, Shayna walked in, looking all flushed and excited. When she saw June, she DIDN'T look happy. As she made to attack and probably destroy, Dawn and Carlizza walked in, glaring at each other.
" What the heck are you doing here?" They all asked each other all at once. Shayna pushed her hair back in the perfect Cathy walker style( What...a heck?) and rolled her eyes.
" Well I'm here to see Diego Sanchez so you better behave yourselves you jealous losers" She sneered. She even sounded like Cathy! Goodness I could kill that witch's soul RIGHT N0WWWWW!!!
Dawn shoved her aside, glaring.
" No you don't! Diego called me here. He gave me a letter himself"
" What? He gave me a letter too!" Carlizza shrieked, pulling a crumpled note from her purse. Dawn, Shayna pulled one out too. They stared at each other and then at Diego. Shayna turned massively RED!!! Carlizza gasped while Dawn stared in horror at someone else.
Obviously I hadn't thought the consequences of making June talk and flirt with Diego cause Dawn gasped at pointed at June in shock.
" Oh my God is that June?" Shayna and Carlizza screeched, looking hard. They shrieked.
" Oh my goodness the back-stabbing boyfriend snatching prat!" Shayna screamed, looking wild in fury. Uh-oh. I tried to wave at June and beg her to run for her life but she was too engaged in a conversation with Diego that she barely noticed me. I could see it all coming. The moment when Dawn ruins June with her awful mouth, Shayna causes an extremely dramatic scene and Carlizza makes a dramatic I-was-betrayed-by-best-friend moment. And I just couldn't do anything about it. Dawn, Shayna and Carlizza marched to the oblivious duo, determined for June's blood and probably her soul. Dawn cleared her throat in her most dramatic fashion ever and the duo turned to stare at her.
" I believe we've met before, June" June stared back, speechless. Shayna scowled at her and folded her arms angryily, giving her a disgusted glare.
" I can't believe you'd be such a conniving little bitch! Snatching my boyfriend behind my back? Not cool Ju"
" He's my boyfriend you guys and June, that is so NOT cool" Carlizza added, nodding in shame. Diego just stared at them, VERY confused. Dawn spoke next.
" I mean look at yourself you slut! I can't believe that you'd go through all this trouble just to get my Diego. That is SICK June. so VERY sick!!"
" I can't even..."
" What the heck are you girls talking about?" Diego asked. Looking at in confusion. Rage filled me and I shot out of my seat and grabbed Diego by the shirt.
" Stop acting stupid and tell them you miserable cheat!" Diego stared down at me, shocked. Everyone was watching now. Literally. Feeling self-conscious, I let go of his shirt and glared at him.
" Say the truth you asshole! It's so shameful to toy with a girl's emotions. Didn't your mama teach you that?"
" What the heck are you even talking about? What is all this madness?"
" Isn't it obvious freak? You've been fooling my friends with your stupid declarations of love and somehow, they have this crazy notion that you're in love with them"
" What?"
" Yeah Diego. You sent me letters and texts, texts that said you really liked me"
" You sent them to me too" Carlizza and Shayna said all at once. they glanced at each other.
" So you guys weren't just fibbing." Shayna said and gasped in horror. Her horror grew into despair and then rage. She shoved Diego backwards " You bastard! How could you do this to us? How could you try to pull us apart? You're a son of a bitch! An asshole!!!"
" That's exactly what June and I have been..."
" June" Dawn growled, glaring at her " So you've been seeing June all this time?" She shook her head at her in shame " I can't believe this June. What happened to Max? What happened to the love of your life?"
" This isn't what it looks like guys I can explain..." June began. Carlizza looked away, tears dripping down her cheeks. Shayna tore out of the building in rage while Dawn shoved June even closer to Diego.
" There you bitch! You can have him all to yourself now!! Happy? "What..."
" Dawn stop! This isn't what it looks like. We'll explain..." I said but she was already out the door before I could say Jack. June crumpled down against the seat, sobbing. I glared at Diego who still looked shocked. Shaken even.
" What are you staring at? Hope you feel good now. You've ruined our friendship"
" I don't know what the heck's going on here but I think I'm gonna leave" He said, backing out.
" You'd better!" I hollered, watching him hurry down the street with a sick feeling of dread pitted against my body. I sat down beside June and comforted her.
" Don't worry June. I'll explain eveything to them and they'll come around ok? I'm so sorry" I glared at Diego's fleeting figure " What a prick! He deserves a good showdown. A punch'll be ok..."
" Summer..."
" June I promise to clear your name ok?"
" Summer" She said weakly but I was obviously too excited to listen.
" And once were all back together again, we'll organize the homecoming howl again. It'll be a blast!..."
" Is that really all you care about? Homecoming? You don't care that our friends probably hates us now and that we've been accusing an innocent guy all along" June said, not even looking at me once. I stared at her, confused.
Ok say what now?
