Rejected

I walked into the gym with my friends. We did our class of gymnastics for that period of time for P.E. Shortly after we were allowed to have the rest of the class to ourselves. I looked at the Australian boy and blushed, because, well...he was my crush. I laid down on the mats with my exhausted friends.My best friend looked at me blushing, and whispered in my ear.

"I'll go ask him for you...to the dance." she whispered. I stood up and looked at my other friends for support to stop her, but they all were too tired to stop her. She walked to the bleacher with all the boys of the class, and just had to ask when everyone was there. I laid back on the mat and covered my eyes, my friends came over to comfort me. I felt a jolt of pain, would he say yes? Would he reject me?

By the time I lifted my arms from my eyes, I battled with the bright lights in the gym. She came to me and sat down, she was prepared to tell me some news, though I had no idea what she was going to say.

"He said...he wasn't going to go. All his friends laughed when I asked for you...I'm sorry." she said. I told her not to worry, truthfully, I expected as much, I knew that nobody would ever say yes. I knew from the beginning that I was going to regret even liking him. Luckily we continued to be friends...well kind of. I couldn't help but think that we couldn't ever be friends again. Have you felt the pain? Have you ever experienced this kind of punishment? I definitely have, and I don't want to experience it again. If I don't ask anyone, I can't get rejected, at least not again.
