Oh, Him? We're Just Friends

𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑇ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑒;

I walked into my English and took my seat at the back. I didn't even know why I was mad, which made me chuckle. But I probably looked psycho, laughing with a killing look on my face. Actually. I did know why I was mad.

I was jealous that Bella was stealing my man—I mean best friend, and she was probably flirting with him and trying to get in his pants and take his v-card and then I nearly got killed psycho Tyler Reynolds. If he never was talking to Bella, that never would have happened. Therefore I have a right to be angry, even though I left him in the first place, but I doubt he remembers that.

It makes me think. As the days go on, I literally get mad and jealous so much these days for literally no reason. I'm surprised Samson hasn't lashed out on me; cause I would've lashed out on him. Lol, I'm such a bad friend.

"Eden." I heard a voice say, knocking me out of my deep thoughts. It was Samson. I smiled. He didn't. I stopped smiling.

"What is up with you?" He asked, taking his seat next to me, I could tell he was annoyed. I gulped before speaking.

"I don't know," I said.

"what? —what do you mean you don't know?" his face softened.

Honestly. This has been happening for so long, I don't even know what's going on in my brain.

"I don't know. I just—I've been like this for weeks now, I don't even know what my issue is." I said innocently and honestly. Samson giggled. I pulled a confused expression.

"Are you... jelly?" he giggled, hitting my arm. I thought. Well yes, I was, but why on earth would I tell him that.

"Psh, in your dreams Sammy." I hit his arm playfully.

"I know when you're lying, you know." He looked in my eyes with a deep, sweet look. I wasn't sure what to say. But thankfully, my teacher ruined the moment.

"Okay class, I need 2 volunteers to take some things to the office. Samson and I looked at each other, smiled and both of our hands shot up.

"Thank you, everyone, Samson... and Tyler." The teacher said, signalled for them to come up to the board and turned around. Samson clenched his fist. I grabbed his hand and put it in mine.

"Hey, you're okay, okay? If you don't want to do it just stay." I looked him in the eye and rubbed my thumb over his hand. His grip softened and he looked me in the eye.

"Nah, it's good. As long as he doesn't do anything it should be fine, I don't wanna cause a scene. If I'm not back in like 10 minutes, you better come after me." He chuckled gave my hand a squeeze and rose from his seat and started walking to the front of the class. His face tightened. A girl spoke.

"Miss, I think you should let someone else do it, you know, not Tyler- "

"shut up Addison, no one asked" Tyler shushed her, took the paper's from the teacher and walked out the room. Sam sighed and followed seconds after.

I had a bad feeling about this.

Samson's Pov –

It's cool Samson. Everything's cool, it's been months since he last did something to you—to Eden.

Was all I was telling myself as I walked behind Tyler. I wanted to get this done quickly so I didn't have to engage in conversation with this pile of trash.

"Sammy, it was literally months ago, get over it" Tyler snarled. I ignored him.

"I never even did anything to you, so I don't get why you're being such a baby about it. It wasn't that deep." He chuckled as he stopped walking and turned to face me. I ignored him again, even though I wanted to punch the living daylight out of his soul.

"I'm surprised you haven't punched me yet."

"Trust me, I'm fighting the urge to."

"do it."

"shut up, Tyler."

"I don't get why you're still mad, I didn't do anything, only your hot bestie, who you probably f*ck all the time anyways—"

"Don't." I really was about to sucker punch this guy in the middle of the hallway, but a classroom door opened then closed, bringing both of our attention to the door and the person who was coming out. Eden. Thank god.

"Hello, hottie" Tyler smirked at her. She ignored him and walked closer to us, I knew she hated him, as did I, so gave her the look. Don't.

"it's fine." She whispered, even though she looked terrified.

"Miss said I could help because you were taking ages, s-so, can you give me some Tyler?" she questioned, with that cute innocent look on her face.

"I think we're good," I said to her, not in a mean way, I just don't want anything to happen to her again.

"here Eid, take some of mine" Tyler smiled creepily. What is wrong with that dude. She said nothing. We all started walking to the office, Tyler was far ahead, and Eden was right by my side, as she should be.

"It hasn't been 10 minutes yet," I joked

"I knew something happened though, so I came out to check on you." She smiled, "so, what happened?" she asked curiously. In all honesty, nothing happened, but I didn't want to tell her.

"Nothing, Tyler was just being Tyler," I said with a straight face. She knew I was lying, but she said nothing. I kind of wanted her to ask, but I would have said the same thing again anyway.

"Oh, by the way," I began, "at break me and you are gonna have a conversation," I said.

"about what?" she asked, turning to me.

"a lot of things."
