Jess was annoyed that Derek just ignored her like that. She was even more annoyed at the fact that he was hitting on another girl right in front of her. This was going to be Blake all over again and she really did not want to repeat that. She quickly said, "Well nice to meet you too, I'm just going to go."

She stormed out of the gym as fast as she could, without looking uncool though. She dashed towards the music room where she knew her drum set would be. Pulling the drum sticks out of her pocket, she began to bang furiously on the drums, not caring if she was disturbing anyone or anything in the room or even out in the hall. She was loud, yes, but it wasn't pointless banging. She was upset, really upset. She shouldn't have gotten her hopes up even a little bit. She should just drop out of school. This wasn't worth it and she wasn't going to put up with anything anymore. 

After playing the drums a little bit, she began to feel better, though she still couldn't help but feel hurt. Damn it, she just met the guy. This was stupid. It shouldn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. It was probably just her pride anyways. Yup, that was it, her pride was hurt. This had nothing at all to do with her emotions or anything like that. She took a deep breath and sighed. [i]What now?[/i]
