Chapter 2

I walked into school the next day with everyone's eyes on me. I walked past the cheerleaders and they didn't even attempt to say hi like they usually they did, they simply scoffed and rolled their eyes. No one was talking to me except Kacey.

"What's going on? Has everyone already found out?" I asked kacey as I took my seat next to her in class. "Oh, it's much worse." She replied with a worried look. "What do you mean?" I asked, concerned. She shook her head. "Blake's been saying some stuff.. Stuff that isn't exactly true." She started, "like ... ?" I asked, waiting for to answer.

"Well, he's saying that he never really cared about you and that he was just using you for sex, and that you were more than willing. He said that you started to get super clingy and he felt bad so he started calling you his girlfriend, but then you started getting annoying so he dumped you." She said, breathlessly.

"WHAT?" I cried, I could feel my face reddening. "Why the hell would he say that!!?" I shouted. "Quiet Ms. darko." Mr. Benjamin said to me. I rolled my eyes at him, I wasn't in the mood.

My stomach clenched painfully why was he doing this to me? If he loved me then why would he say these things? I could feel the angry, hurt tears stinging my eyes, but I didn't let the pour. Instead, I casually wiped my eyes with my sleeve and waited for the bell to ring.

When first period ended I ran straight up to Blake who had his arm around one of the cheerleaders and was laughing with his friends. He stopped when he saw me. "What the hell Blake?" I shouted. "What's wrong? Can't stand the fact that everyone knows the truth about you now?" The blonde sneered. I rolled my eyes at her, "You don't know anything."

"I know that you're a slut, just a sad little hoe that wished you were more." She laughed wickedly. I glared at her angrily, then I snapped my head towards Blake. "Why the hell are you making up these lies?!" I seethed. He stared at me blankly. "What lies? You were nothing, we were nothing." He commented, his eyes completely void of emotion. My heart stung painfully. "You - you said you loved me." I whispered, "We were real!" I began to shout.

A crowd had gathered now, some of them staring upon me with pity, others were laughing at my patheticness. "No, I used you. And you knew It." Blake said blandly. "You're a slut."

I backed away, feeling the pain spread through me. I felt so ashamed and stupid, thinking this horrible person could ever love me, could ever really care. I was so fucking dumb, their words swirled around me like a tornado. "Boo you whore." Someone shouted from the crowd. I would've laughed if I wasn't going through this right now.

"Leave her the fuck alone," someone growled, making me turn around. Jesse was standing there, staring at Blake with venom in his eyes. "Stay out of this Lorenzo." Blake hissed warningly. "Or what?" Jesse tested.

"Ew, you're actually defending her?" Melanie Vasquez, the head cheerleader asked stupidly. "How about you go gather up your hoes and go have another one of your annual orgies or something, just get the fûck out of here." jesse snapped at her, Melanie blinked. "Babe, chill." She said. I almost laughed.

"You can have the slut for all I care," Blake suddenly said. "You're a real loser man, making up all this stupid shit about her cause she hurt your little feelings, how pathetic." Jesse told him.

"No one hurt my feelings, I never cared." Blake replied. "Keep telling yourself that bro." Jesse said with a chuckle, then swung his arm around my shoulder. "Let's go." He whispered in my ear and we turned to leave. I couldn't even comprehend what just happened.

We headed out of the school building, into the parking lot. "Woah, did you see how jealous Blake was when I put my arm around you?" Jesse asked with a laugh, his laugh was so attractive. "He was?" I asked, Blake was jealous?

"Yeah, he practically tried to use imaginary heat vision to burn my arm off of you." He said with amusement. "You enjoyed that, didn't you?" I asked,

"I hate him." He said with a shrug. Then his eyes lit up, "Wait, I have a kick ass idea."

"What's that,?" I asked, curious. "Well, you like seeing Blake jealous, and I like seeing him mad, so .. I'm thinking we could kick this up a notch and continue enjoying the effects." He started, I stared at him, pondering over his words.

"So , you want to.. Pretend to date?" I asked dumbly. He nodded, "hmmm..." I mumbled, "I don't know."

"C'mon, did you see the look on his face? He hurt you, and now it's time for revenge!" Jesse said with a little grin, a grin that I melted into. I sighed, running a hand through my brown hair. "Erghhh, fine." I finally said looking into his amazingly attractive eyes. They were green as ever, in that moment, I realized how beautiful they really were.

"There's one rule though," he said, breaking me out of my trance. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"You can never, ever fall for me."
