A Highschool Cliche.

Chapter 17.

Irene's POV

I haven't been talking to Jason much but everything is been pretty normal between us.

Maybe i am the who is thinking about all this too much.

I sighed and made my way out of the school halls, i saw Jason talking to a group of girls.

Sometimes i forget he is so popular, i thought as i looked at his way he didn't notice me as he was too immersed in the conversation.

"Huh! Look at him talking and laughing! must be fun being so popular" I scoffed

"Good for him it's not like i care" i shrugged as i was about to pass by the group.

"Excuse me Jason? Don't forget today we are suppose to meet for the project" i reminded him casually.

I don't care i am just reminding so he don't forget, he can have fun after we are done. I told myself internally.

"Oh yes sure!" He replied and quickly returned to chatting.

I nodded as i made my way outside i closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"You are not jealous you are just angry because he is being casual about our final project! And he thinks talking to bunch of girls is more important!" I sighed after speaking to myself in one full breath.

"I do not care!" I stomped my feet as i made my way towards the bus.

*************

I was at home as i heard my phone ring. I saw the caller ID.

Jason? Maybe he is at the door it's already 5.

"Hello?"

"Hey! Listen um.... I have to cancel today I can't come to your house i actually have something planned" Jason spoke and i could feel myself being disappointed.

"What plan?" Immediately regretting asking i face palmed myself.

I don't care! I am not supposed to feel disappointed it's not like i was looking forward to meet him. No way!

"With some friends, we actually went somewhere after school and I don't think i will be able to come as I am still here" he explained with no guilt at all.

"Yeah, okay enjoy!" I said as i disconnected the call and banged the phone on my desk lightly, I don't want to break my phone because of a jerk!

Why do i care!

I showed my tongue at the phone as if making a face at Jason.

"God! Why am i behaving like a child?" I sighed and plopped on my bed.

"Jerk!" I whispered at the ceiling.

Next Morning

"Hey grumpy bear!" Samuel came and hugged which i happily returned.

"Hey" i gave him a big smile just then Jason approached us.

"Hey you two" he said with a small smile.

"Hello" i answered casually along with Samuel waving his hand and giving him a big smile.

"Yesterday was fun, i enjoyed" Samuel spoke and looked at him confused.

"You went somewhere?" I asked.

"Yes didn't Jason tell you?" Samuel answered.

"Ahh you two were together, i see" i smiled at both of them.

"Oh hey? We can meet today since yesterday we couldn't" Jason chimed in.

Whose fault was it exactly? I wanted to say that but i didn't because i simply do not care. Yes.
