Demi's POV

I get home and I have a shower. Then, I put my pajamas on, my hair in a little ponytail and I head to the kitchen to cook my dinner. The house is so empty without Cameron, but I'm already getting used to it because nobody wants an asshole at home.

When I'm about to get into the kitchen, I see the red light of the voicemail and I click the button to listen to the messages.

"Hi, Demi! It's mom! I have called you to ask if you wanted some chicken soup and croquettes... you didn't answer, but I have cooked it for you anyway. Come to take it! Hope you had a great first day at work. Love you!"

"Demetrioussssssssssssss! It's Marissa! How was your day? It must have been too busy 'cause you aren't answering me! Call me back! Kissessss!"

I take the phone and I call my mom to thank her while I fry meat and some fries. Then I decide to call my friend Marissa.

—Hello! —Marissa picks up.

—Hi Ma! It's Demi.

—Heyy you! How was your first day? How was your new mate? —Marissa asks full of curiosity.

—Ughhh, don't talk to me about him —I reply to her annoyed.

—Wooooooo! It's a man!!!!!!! What happened girl?

—Well, let's say your friend is quite a dumb girl and that she has told her break up story to her handsome new work mate and...

—WHAT? Did you say HANDSOME? And why the hell do you think that's a bad idea? —she interrupts me too excitedly.

—Marissa, calm down! —I shout upset— I told him that Cameron cheated on me and he just started the same speech every man does to get into the girl's pants —I roll my eyes.

—Demi, I must be very tired 'cause I don't get you... —Marissa replies me confused.

—You know Marissa, he just told me he didn't understand why my ex boyfriend cheated on me because I seem to be very nice... blah blah blah —I tell her, getting angry again while I remember it.

—Come on, Demetria! Don't be so overdramatic!!! I'm sure he was just trying to be nice! He's new at the school and he probably just wants someone to talk to or to go to when he needs help —Marissa tells me.

—Ughh! I'm going to have dinner Ma! Talk to you tomorrow —I say to her ready to hang up.

—It's ok Dem, bon appétit! Rest to be at your best tomorrow and I'm sure you'll see everything from a different point of view at morning! Love you!

—Thanks! —I reply, still upset— Love you.

Next morning...

Wilmer's POV

I woke up at 5:30 this morning to go jogging. I put some sweatpants on and a tank top, I took my phone and my earphones and I went out.

It was dark yet, but the sky was cleared soon. I went to the village's central park, which is close to my home and I worked out there for 30 minutes approximately.

At 6:20 when I was about to leave home to get ready to go to the school, I stopped to see the girl who had been jogging in front of me. And I was right. It was Demi.

I increased my speed and I went behind her. When I got to reach her I put my arm into her back to wave at her.

—Good morning, Miss Lovato! —I said.

Suddenly she turned around and she slapped me on my face.

—Oh my God! —She shouted— I didn't know it was you!

—I see you're still angry at me —I replied to her still with my hands on my hit cheek.

—No! But it's still dark and I am listening to music, so you scared the crap out of me! —Demi justified— I'm sorry. —She chuckled.

—Believe me, I'm sorrier. —I laughed too.

—You didn't tell me you are a sporty man yesterday! —She told me.

—Well, you didn't give me much time to talk. —I joked.

—Don't be so funny! —Demi said ironically.

—Anyway, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I didn't mean to hurt you. —I apologized.

—Ugh yesterday's... let it go! I was just too irritated —she replied— I'm sorry for acting so stupid to you.

—It's okay! —I said— Well, I'm leaving home to have a shower to get ready for school! I hope it doesn't appear any bruises into my cheek! —I teased her.

—I'm heading home too! See you then at school! —she said goodbye to me— and take care of that reddened cheek! —she added jokingly moving away.
