Short Story

Heart Break

Sheila was unusually quiet on the phone as she listened to her boyfriend Mason going on about how she flirts with other guys. As he was talking Sheila processed these thoughts and quietly whispered, “What a jerk, I haven’t done anything.” Mason replied in a stern tone “What did you say?” There was an awkward silence between the two. “I didn’t say anything Mason,” Sheila said. As Sheila heard nothing on the other line she said “Hello.  Ummm Hello are you there?” Sheila had figured Mason had hung up on her. Many thoughts raced through her mind and Sheila was helplessly confused.

The next morning Sheila walked into school going the long way so she didn’t have to pass Mason’s locker and make any contact with him. Sheila quickly hurried because the one minute bell was quickly approaching. She raced down the hall and made it just in time before she would have been marked tardy. Sheila looked around and met eyes with Mason. She had totally forgotten that her 1^st hour class was with him. Sheila just reminded herself to keep a positive attitude and not think about what had happened last night.

Finally the bell rang and Sheila briskly walked to her locker with her best friend Ally. “Is something going on with you and Mason? You guys didn’t talk at all and were acting very strange,” Ally asked Sheila in a generous tone. “How about I’ll explain it to you during lunch because we have to get to class,” she replied. “Alright,” Ally shook her head slowly as she agreed. They both made their way down the hall as Sheila’s phone went vibrated. Completely thrilled, Sheila pulled out her phone to share the news that Mason had texted. “Alright I got to go. I’ll see you at lunch Sheila,” Ally told Sheila as she walked down the hall. Sheila looked at phone for this was a big surprise considering they just got into a fight last night about Sheila flirting with other guys. As she read the text her eyes started getting watery and a crying emotion started coming over her. The text read “Sheila I want you to know that you deserve the best your beautiful, but I can’t continue this way. I can’t keep seeing you flirt and mingle with other guys it breaks my heart. I guess this is goodbye for now.” Sheila quickly ran down the hall and went out the back doors of the school as she had tears streaming down her face.
