A Time For Change

I walked through the hallway with a smile on my face and happiness in my heart, excited for next period where I would get to see Jack. Jack was my boyfriend, and even though we have only been dating for about two months I really liked him. The only problem though was that he mostly hung around other girls; most of whom had a crush on him. Being infused with jealousy never felt good, but he made it worth it.

I turned the corner into our math classroom and took my seat behind Jack. The whole time during class I couldn't stop thinking about how attractive he was; even from behind. He had neatly swept shaggy hair that could keep me mesmerized the whole class.

When the bell rang I tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey cutie how's it going?" I grinned at him and stared into his piercing blue eyes.

"Pretty good now that I can see you." He replied a little lethargic, but I just pushed that thought aside.

We got up out of our desks and walked alongside each other to go to lunch. Since I was working on being less shy, I glanced down until my eyes caught sight of his hand and I reached my hand over to his and wrapped my fingers through his with a smile on my face.

"Becca, you are so lame but also cute."

I ignored the slight insult and let the compliment soak into me. It made me happy that out of everybody that liked him, he chose me.

After lunch the day seemed to drag on until finally I got home. I decided to start messaging Jack, and being me I asked him why he seemed so distant during math class that day.

Becca: What's going on? Why did you seem so distracted today?

Jack: It's nothing that big, but I don't think you'd want to know.

Becca: Alright, now I have to know.

Jack: Well I like you but I kind of also like Kim. You're definitely my first choice though.

I'm his first choice? I wouldn't consider myself an expert on dating, but I'm pretty sure that you're only supposed to like one person. I can't believe that he actually thinks this is alright. Well, at least I am his first choice, I mean that's a good thing right?

~~~~~~Next Day~~~~~~

When I went into computers class the next day I saw Jack talking to Kim as well as a bunch of other girls that surrounded him. Kim was a year younger than us, but she was in a couple of our classes.

Feeling a knot in my stomach, I walked over to my seat and logged into the computer. It felt like something was bubbling up inside of me, and I realized that I was jealous of Kim now more than ever. It didn't even occur to me that I'm supposed to be with Jack since he was deep in conversation with the other girls.

When I got home that night I felt more alone than ever and really wanted to listen to music and not have to communicate with others. I was just about to plug in my music when all of a sudden my phone buzzed.

Jack: I need to tell you something.

Becca: Alright I'm listening.

Jack: I think that we should go back to being just friends. It felt more natural that way.

Becca: Wait why are you breaking up with me then, is it because you want to be with Kim?

Jack: You just haven't acted like much of a girlfriend.

Becca: What does that even mean?

Jack: I'm not sure but I want to break up with you.

My stomach dropped down to my feet, and it felt like my heart had just been squeezed until it ceased to beat. The only thing that I could think of doing after that was going into my room, eating ice cream, and watching Netflix. This seems like the typical teenage girl response, but being alone has always made me feel better for some reason.

I kept running the words through my head. "You just haven't acted like much of a girlfriend." What was this even supposed to mean? What was wrong with me that I couldn't show the right amount of affection that was apparently associated with being a girlfriend?

As thoughts like this kept popping into my mind I couldn't help but think that now the only way to make him feel this bad was to make him jealous. I hadn't worked out all of the details yet, but I knew what I would have to do.
