Sunday
Michelle's Pov
Jasmine opens the curtains just when I was about to sleep which made me groan. The past night was torture and I couldn't sleep.
Why would I when two thoughts danced around in my mind?
"Hello?" I hear Jasmine say, she only talks to him this time in the morning. Why was every guy such an asshole??
"Nothing much, there's a yard sale. My mom said it would be a good bonding moment" she said to the other end of the phone.
"But I think I'll cancel and spend time with you instead" Jasmine said with giggles which made me frown.
Two options: Tell my best friend the boy she loves so much kissed me or Forget everything and give Blake the sense of Victory?
Did he even love her?
"Michelle?..." Jasmine called checking if I was still asleep.
"Yeahh?" I answered half asleep and half my mind wondering what decisions to make.
"I'll be going to Blake's in a while.... You coming?" Jasmine asked.
"Not really, last night was exhausting.. I think I'll stay in more" I reply her. The thought of seeing Blake again today made me want to puke.

I walked down the stairs and Find Aunt Marisa in the sitting room. Her hair packed in a neat pony tail showing off her beautiful face, good genes does run in this family. She looked 20 years younger and could pass as a young adult.
"Oh Michelle? I thought you and Jasmine had plans?" She asked giving me hug and going back to packing her purse.
"Oh no, I stayed in a little bit" I sat staring at her with a smile.
"Well the neighbors who packed in two weeks ago are organizing a yard sale, care to join?"Aunt Marisa ask and I nod not because I wanted to go but because I needed something to clear my head and mind.
I missed the old times, Jasmine would go bowling with Uncle Martin and I would spend the whole Sunday with Aunt Marisa, cleaning the house together and then we would watch one of those reality shows they showed every Sunday. Uncle Martin and Aunt Marisa took me as their child.
"I'll go change" I say and go back upstairs I change into a blue sweat shirt and pants and head back down after putting my hair in a pony tail just like Aunt Marisa's

"New girl..." I hear someone say. I turn and see a guy with blonde hair bouncing perfectly on his head, he looked liked he was just on the cover of vogue.
"Huh?" I say stuttering. Who was this God sent angel?
"Your new.... English class?" He asked and I remember seeing this face in class.
"Yeah..." I say awkwardly looking at the piece on the table. Did he catch me staring at him? He probably did.
"That's a dog Skeleton" The Guy from school says pointing at the sculpture placed on the table I was intrigued by.
"I beg your pardon?" I say confused.
"Don't worry, it's not real" he says chuckling which made my heart collapse. His smile lit up every inch in my body.
"We have a whole collection inside, would you love to see them?" He ask and his voice hit every bone in my body.
"Umm..... I don't think....my aunt....."
"Oh no it won't take long" he says and I nod looking at his brown eyes.
He takes me inside his house and shows the other collections of skeletons.... All in different colors.
"Looks cool" I say looking at the skeletons while trying to resist the urge to stare at his face.
"It looks so real" I say
"Yeah, we've had this forever. My mum got a bunch of it from a foreign friend.... As a wedding gift..." He say and I laugh.
"I'm Justin" Justin says looking into my eyes making me blush.
"And you?" he says bringing me out of my trance. Feeling embarrassed "Michelle... I'm Michelle." I just wished the ground swallowed me.
"Nice to meet you Michelle" Justin said shinning his perfect set of white teeth.
"You can have this if you like it" he says handing me a blue dog skeleton.
"No it's okay, I'll just buy the one outside" I reply him trying so hard not to sound rude.
"Take this as a gift, a welcome gift"
"You guys just packed in?" I say looking at the hardly furnished house filled with boxes.
"We lived across the streets in another neighborhood" Justin replied like I've lived here all my life.
"That's impressive, I moved in with my best friend two weeks I think"
"Yeah, I've been seeing you guys together" Justin says smiling which made my heart skip a beat.
"I have to go" I stutter and he grabs my hand and stare into my eyes.
"Maybe we can hang out later?" Justin ask and I nod trying to hide the blush on my face.
************
I wrap my hair in a towel and walk downstairs.
"Honey, Blake would be join joining us for dinner" Aunt Marisa said setting the table and I see Blake sitting in the living room chatting with Mr Martin.
I help aunt Marisa set the table and everyone sit round the table. It felt awkward having Blake here, probably only to me.
My phone rings and I look at it, it was a text from him..... Justin. I smile and quickly give him a reply. Jasmine noticing my smile quickly grabs my phone and runs to the living room and I run after her.
"It was nice to meet you Michelle, I hope you like the Skeleton" Jasmine reads it out loud confused and Blake and Everyone stare at me.
"What skeleton?" Jasmine says scrolling through my phone and I quickly grab it from her.
"Do you and Justin have a thing!?" She pins me down to the sofa and ask me.
"Not during Dinner" Aunt Marisa said with a stern and we both come back to the dinning table.
"Michelle is in loveeee" Jasmine teased and everyone smiled, I blushed feeling embarrassed. I feel Blake leg gently touch me under the table and our eyes meet.
He looks back at his food and I shrug.
Why did he look at me that way?
After dinner, Blake kiss Jasmine good bye and I quickly retire to my bed.
I won't tell Jasmine.... She was happy and I wouldn't want to be the one to ruin that. What are the chances she would believe me anyway??
I lay down thinking about Justin, I stare at the Dog skeleton I placed on the dresser and smile. The reaction of Jasmine when she saw it made me laugh again.
I probably was going to wake up and not find it again.
