Misunderstandings || A TMF Drake Fanfic

Chapter 1

Jake's POV:

I walk to school with the jomies. Henry rambling about his lettuce craving while Liam arguing about Stacy's mom.
I wasn't listening to exactly what they were saying because I was spaced out in my own world. But all I could comprehend was "blah blah blah blah". I was thinking about the competition and about how well it was going to go. It's getting very close to the day, Zander and Hailey seem so nervous. I feel like.. they're doubting us. Do they really think we aren't able to win? We seem to play really goo-
"JAKE!"
I blink and snap back into reality. I look up at Drew. "What?! What's on fire?!"
Henry laughed at me.
"Nothing's on fire dumbass," Drew rolled his eyes. "We just called you 10 times and you didn't respond."
"Yeah, what's up with you, Jake? You've had your head up in the clouds lately." Liam added.
"Sorry, guys. I just.. have things on my mind." I respond.
"Like what?" Henry asked, looking up at me.
"Erm.." I chuckled nervously.
"Let me guess, those music freaks." Drew said, rolling his eyes once again.
"What?! Nooo!!" I say, slightly panicking. I feel bad that I always have to leave them for the music club. But if I want to ask Daisy, this is the best way I can without having panic attacks.
"Then what?" Drew crossed his arms and raised one eyebrow.
"Erm... The science project?" Real convincing, Jake...
Drew glanced at me with a look of disbelief. He might be gullible but he can tell when I'm lying, because I sound extra stupid. And that was definitely a stupid excuse.
"Mhm. Let's just go inside." Drew rolled his eyes once more.
"Aight" Liam said as we all headed inside to our lockers.

Drew's POV:

We walked to our lockers, unlocking them and taking our books out of them. I look down at the ground, thinking about Jake's excuse. I knew for a fact he was lying about thinking about the science project. Jake hardly thinks about school.
Was he lying to me? I mean.. He is my best friend, why would he ever lie to me? Then again.. He has lied to me a lot ever since he started hanging out with those.. Music freaks. Do I even matter to him anymore? Or are those freaks more important than me?
I shut my locker a little hard. The boys look at me with confused looks on their faces.
"Drew? You alright there buddy?" Jake asked.
"I'm fine." I say with a serious tone of voice.
"Jeez dude, what did that locker do to you?" Henry asked me.
"I said I'm fine god dammit!" I shouted.
Everyone stayed quiet from that moment. The bell rang, thank god. We headed off to our class, quiet the whole way. I really wasn't okay. How could I be okay if there was a chance Jake would choose those music freaks over us?
We walked into our class, Jake sitting next to Zander, I sitting next to Hailey, and Liam and Henry sitting next to each other.
I wasn't really focusing on the work. I was more focused on Jake leaving us for those freaks. All for Daisy? I don't see him joining the clean up crew at our school for any one of us. Jeez, he really is leaving us.

Jake's POV:

I sat beside Zander, waving hello. He had his arms crossed with a grumpy expression on his face, no surprise. I mean.. its Zander. Considering he didn't like me very much, I can't be even the smallest bits of surprised that he doesn't wanna be nice to me.
"So, you coming over again to complete the project?" I ask.
"I guess." He muttered.
I smile at him. "We are almost done, just gotta work on the lab part, the graph, the procedures, and the conclusion. Which should take two days including day or more."
"Okay." He replied, not showing much emotion.
I sigh, I can't help but glance at Drew who was working and talking with Hailey. What was that locker slam for? He was clearly upset about something. But.. what? Drew doesn't usually slam his locker like that. And he sounded so irritated when we asked if he was okay.
I wonder if he was angry about my little lie about thinking about the science project. But.. he's used to me making stupid excuses. So I can't see why he'd be mad. Drew can be confusing sometimes..

Zander's POV:

I stare at the ground then happen to glance up at Jake, I notice he's looking at something so I turn my gaze to what he's looking at. To my surprise, he's looking at Drew. I smirk and turn back to Jake.
"Hey, simp boy. Why are you looking at Drew?"
"Huh?" He turns to me. "Oh! Just um.. Thinking about things.."
"What 'things'?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
"Something that happened with Drew earlier, you wouldn't care." Jake answers.
"Uh huh, I can't help but notice you glance at Drew every five minutes everyday."
"What? No I don't!" Jake said, in a offended tone of voice.
"Right." I roll my eyes teasingly. "So explain why you're always randomly spacing out while we're working during class and I catch you looking in Drew's direction."
"I just daydream a lot about Daisy and happen to look at Drew!" He said, blushing.
"Mhm.. That blush says otherwise." I say, laughing at him.
"I like Daisy and you know it!" Jake slightly shouted at me.
I roll my eyes teasingly once again. "Whatever you say."
