I DON'T CARE!

I heard a gasp, and a bit of a squeal. I knew she would do this. Why would she want to go with me… I grabbed my backpack and began to walk. She didn’t need to drive me, it was only a couple blocks down.

I heard her running to catch up to me. “Wait. So he said yes? You’re not kidding?! I’m really going with Warren to the prom?” She said. I rolled my eyes.

“Thank you so much Drew! See, this is why you’re my friend! I love you so much!” She hugged me. I didn’t get excited at the “I love you” because I know it’s just in the friend way…that’s how it will always be.

The rest of the day went like that. Everytime I saw Macy she thanked me. At lunch she sat with Warren. But I don’t care. I don’t care that Macy sits with him, and hugs his arm and looks at him with the lovey face and I don’t care that he looks at her like that back!

“I don’t care!” I yelled, not meaning to. I found myself staring into my locker and Macy looking at me confused.

“Don’t care about what?” She asked.
