HE'S MINE

.5.

So uhm. How's the book been so far? I hope it's capable of gaining your interest, but yet again I think a large percentage of the world's population would rather be out playing games.

So here it goes, chapter 5...
******

Don't listen to the tabloid. They are lies.

I stared at the message, I'd received at two in the morning, with confusion.

Surely this was a wrong number put the curiosity got the best of me as I opened my web browser and searched latest gossip.

My eyes widened when I saw the picture. It wasn't a fake. .

Jade stood there all in her beauty wearing a knee length flower printed gown, Brown wedge adoring her feet making her talker by an inch or two.

Her hair was curled into perfection and she actually coated her face with light make up. This wasn't my Jade.

How she was dressed didn't bother me that much. What did was the boy who had his hand wrapped around her shoulder in a comfortable but fashionable hoodie and and to pair it up.

I read the post underneath.

After a two year disappearance, jade Collins is seen with one of her friends and ex-boyfriend Matt Eylde. Could old flames be rekindled?

the jealousy that coursed through my veins could not be mistaken for anything. I stared at the phone tempted to just throw it out the room, instead I settled for just clenching the phone tightly.

I glared at the phone. My eyes drifting to the time. It was a few minutes after ten on a Saturday morning. No one would like to be awake by now, especially not Jade.

I shook my head of the thoughts. She wasn't my girlfriend. I don't have any right to be overprotective or jealous.

I laid back on my bed, my legs hiring the side my eyes wide awake.

The week passed and no sign of Jade. I'd actually settled for texting her but my jealousy was getting the best of me and it took a lot of restraints not to ask her of the man in the photo.

Officially, I hadn't seen her face since almost a month ago. I'd tried face timing her but she always found an excuse. Maybe she was cruising with her boyfriend and didn't want us introduced yet. Just the thought of that seemed to send anger through my veins.

On Monday, after stuffing the necessities in my Locker, I stumped to Raymond's class. When i entered, some people were packing stuff on top his desk.

"Yo Andrew" he greeted. I looked at him and gave him a smile. He walked from where he stood and came, standing in my front. He placed a hand on my shoulder, gripping it tightly.

"Hey" I responded back.

"Here you go" he said shoving a hand into his pocket. He gave me a platinum card which I rejected.

"No thanks "

"Use it and buy her a gift after School. She'll appreciate anything a normal girl wouldn't have." He said. Hesitantly, I took the card and stuffed it in my pocket.

"Well I'm off" he said and left, the people who followed him at his back carrying some boxes.

"Oh, and don't tell her I came here alright? "
To late

I stayed in the room for a while, knowing he wasn't having classes till the third period. By the time I stood up it was already some minutes to eight.

I rubbed my eyes from any possible sleep accumulating and walked outside.

A girl wearing a sleeved off-shoulder black top and a white skirt that stopped bellow her knees along with a simple pin earring and a bunny chain pendant. Her hair was curled and she had make up on, black flats adoring her feet.

She looked beautiful.

Jade walked, a woman obviously to old to be a student and to professionally dressed to be a teacher was walking beside her, talking rapidly while Jade seemed uninterested.

She caught my eyes and gave me a smile, then stopped, making the woman stop. Jade glared at her and said something. The woman looked annoyed and then nodded, turning back to the exit.

She walked to me and stopped at my front latching me in a hug.

"Hey" she said, a silly smile on her face.

My cheeks turned red at her cute gestures. I cleared my throat.

"Hi " I greeted. Her smile widened if possible and she took of, holding my hand sending fuzzy feelings down my spine.

"Lets go "

"Do you really want to do this, I'm lousy at keeping watch" I told Jade as she shuffled from inside the closet.

"Yeah, gimme a minute more" she said. I grimaced and waited patiently for her. When she came out she had changed.

She still wore her black top but for bottom, a light blue shorts and some vans. Her hair was still curled, but she obviously used her hand to scatter it a bit and her purse was replaced with a black bag with stones adoring it.

I assumed the items of her would be in the brown paper bag.

"Lets go" she Said . I snapped out of my trance and followed her. Whispers surrounding her as she passed, some people looking at their phone then back at her.

She didn't seem fazed. She strolled with confidence to our next class, dropping the paper bag with her clothes in a trash.

She abruptly stopped when we reached the door of art class, a frown on her expression.

"Lets skip" she said. My eyes widened to a fraction. Had I been so hypnotized by this girl that I couldn't realize she was bringing out the side of me that I tried desperately to hide after the incident.

"I can't " I said. I found it funny that only the pursing of her bottom lips and cute rapid blinking could do so many things to my chest.

"Please"

"You just got back. It's your first day since almost a month" she snorted, rolling her eyes at my pathetic excuse at reasoning.

"So? "She asked. The last time I'd gotten into trouble was my second year of high school. I really didn't, but she was doing weird things to me.

Her face suddenly scrunched up and she groaned, leaning on me, her breath coming out in soft pants.

She let out a gasp and clutched her sides, blinking back tears. Her pupils dilated as she began to lose focus.

"Jade? " I called out. She turned to look at me her eyes seemingly unfocused.

She leaned into me closer, her scent invading my nostrils and then she blacked out.

I held her limped body in my hands for a while, my face parking as I tried to come into terms with what just happened. I ignored the curious stares from nosey passerby as I scooped her into my hands, carrying her bridal style. She was light and her head came to rest at on my chest almost automatically.

I carried her to the clinic just as the ate bell rang. I ignored the pang on my chest knowing, I was right in front of class yet I was missing it now.

I'm turning into a nerd.
