Not That Big of a Diffrence

Sete

I spent another two weeks in Los Angeles before having to come back to Colorado. Once summer was over and I had gone back to school, I had been to LA once more and JJ came to CO twice. We had also already been dating for 9 months... At school, people were giving me a hard time. I was a sophmore and he was a freshman in college. I was starting to get sick of it.

"So what's it like dating a famous guy?"

"Not that different, what I've heard" I replied, continuing to take the science materials I needed for this lab.

"How would you know? You've dated other celebrities and boys?" Edgar, the kid who I hate BTW, kept taking things from my hand.

"Are you calling me a slut or a gold digger?" I flicked him and went back to my group. His posse always tried to make me 'admit' that I was only with jack for the money or the attention but I knew I wasn't and he knew I wasn't so I didn't really care.

"They're at it again." I told the girls as I sat down at our table.

"Just ignore them"

"Kinda hard to do when they're in my ear and taking things from me. Thanks for helping by the way Chris."

"What?! I was writing our procedure!" She threw her hands up

"Yeah and flirting with yet another boy! Who was it this time again? Oh Mateo huh! Your ex boyfriend's best friend!" I said rolling my eyes.

"You know what you probably are with him just for the attention. Finally someone gives you attention and you were just lucky it was a famous guy. Hes probably a jerk and sleeps with other girls!"

"I can't believe you are saying this! You met him, you told me he was awesome! What, were you trynna get at him too?"

"NO! Is that what your cheating boyfriend tell you, or did he tell you that he came up to me and asked me to out with him!"

"You know what? This is stupid. Don't ever talk to me about my relationship."

"Maybe I just won't talk to you" and with that she got up and left. Tears were stinging my eyes and the other girls right away came to my side to comfort me, most likely taking my side since Chris has been really jerky. The girls told me things and I felt better and was laughing so hard that my stomach hurt in under five minutes.

"So uh. I heard you got in a fight with Chrisanthum" We were in History and only half of the table group was here today. Just me and Paulo

"Um, not really, just a disagreement."

"That's not what she told me."

"Oh she told you did she? What did she say then" I put my pencil down and turned to look at him.

"She said that Edgar was teasing you again -"

"More like harassing" I inturupted. Paulo smiled at me and continued

"I'm just repeating what she told me." I nodded and he continued "so you were getting stuff for your science thing and she stayed at the table with Matt to write the procedure and at lunch you were mad and so she told you to ignore him and you said it was hard to when he was in your ear and then you said something about helping you and the-"

"Okay breath. I already know that part, I was there, I lived it!"

"Okay well let me get to the good part." He smiled and continued. He never stops smiling it seems. He has a nice smile. "She said that you accused her of flirting with him and she told you that he asked her out. She told me that he told her that she was the most beautiful girl he had seen and that they should get together some time"

"Wow that is juicy. Too bad its a lie. Jack was with me the whole night. " I shrugged and went back to working

" so was she calling you a slut or a gold digger?"

"Hey! Thats what I ask myself anytime a person makes fun of me or my boyfriend." I say sarcastically

"What do you think?"

"I think that they need to get their facts straight. That I am not with jack because of money that he doesn't really have. I am not with him for the attention of anybody except for his. I am not a slut because Jack is the only boyfriend I've ever had and I haven't even kisssed him, less am I letting him get in my pants. Nor do I hookup with Jack G nor Carter nor Nash nor Matt nor anyone!"

I sighed and closed my eyes trying to calm myself. He put his arm on my shoulder. "Thanks but don't. Then people are gonna say that I'm hooking up with you too. "

After school I went to the coffee house I work in. I don't start until 4 so I have half an hour to do some homework. As I was walking in, I got a call from JJ.

"Hello?"

"Hey babe!"

"Hi Jack!" I laughed. I walked to the counter where one of my coworkers made me my regular.

"How was your day"

"Please don't make me recount"

"That bad?"

"Worse. Chris was calling you a cheater and me a slut"

"Chris your friend chris?"

"Chris my friend Chris. And Edgar was giving me a really hard time too."

"Oh. I'm sorry baby, I wish I was there to make you feel better."

"I wish you were here too"

"Soo, um have you been on twitter?" Jack puts me in his pictures and what not but he doesn't tag me. Few girls follow me knowing I'm Jacks girl friend and they're really sweet. We talk on DM sometimes.

"No, why?"

"Just because there is a rumor going around about you and Jack" JJ was always honest with me and that was one of the many things I loved about him.

"What happened?"

"You know when you went shopping with him? And you were walking out and he had his arm around you and you were laughing at me ?"

"Yeah, so?"

"So someone took a picture and out of context it looks really flirty..."

"Great, even more hate to deal with. Jack I'm sick of it. I'm tired of people making assumptions and being mean"

"I know baby me too. I'm sending you a really big hug" I giggled

"And I am recieving it. I have to go. I'll call you after my shift."

I didn't call him back that night. I just kept thinking to myself this couldn't go on. I loved him, but I couldn't stand this anymore. 'No More' I said over and over in my head. Jack doesn't deserve this and I don't deserve him. This is for his own good. I tried to convince myself that but I knew I had to break it off, for my own selfish reasons
