You were dating the very cold but popular guy at your school, James.

You were the many first people he could warm up to, but he still had his issues.

You were now at school, sitting with his friends in the cafeteria, something you’re still not used to.

They were playing truth or dare, you didn't bother joining. “James, truth? Who's your bestest friend?" His friend Dexter questioned.

"Probably Danielle!" James shrugged. Oh... the other popular girl at your school.

"James, what do you mean?"

"Baby.… you're just clingy, childish... sometimes. She gives great advice."

You untwined your hand from his. "Yeah, no... I get it." You mustered up a smile. But it hurt.

James knew it was your biggest insecurity but saying it to your face? You sat there silently the whole game.

The next day at school, you were In the cafeteria by the vending machine. "Hi baby, coming for Ice cream down the block?"

"Oh. not today, James." You smiled. "Really? It's your favorite." He asked confusedly.

"But we can stay here." James smiled... you were gonna give him the usual kiss on the cheek..but.

You were being clingy and childish? Right? You thought as you tried to hide the stinging in your eyes.
