Those Worse Off Than You
Part 97
Later on that week, Amanda showed up at my front door and asked, "Are the rumours really true?"
"What rumours?"
"Is your boyfriend really in the mental hospital? Did he really... uh... hurt you?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Your boyfriend... that creep from our school."
"You mean Ace? Ace is just a friend. He's not in the mental hospital and he never did anything to me!"
"Oh... because you know, Alex was saying-"
"Screw Alex, that kid is absolutely crazy! Don't listen to anything that comes out of that kid's mouth- it's all lies!"
He turned her face around so that in looked demented in discust. "Jayden- what's ahppened to you. You're turning weird... Alex was right."
"Get out of my house," I screamed. "AND DON'T TALK ABOUT MY FRIENDS! In fact- don't talk to me again.... I never want to hear from you. I hate you... you... you.... argh," I slammed the door in her face and stormed down the hall in into my room where I pouted like a five year old child in time out.
