Chapter 5

"Chapter 5"

◆Jemma

The door burst open, as me and Michael frozed at our spot. Shane walked in, a casual smile on his face, but his smile faded when he saw me and Michael hugging each other, I stood up, walking up to him.

"How did you get in?" I asked him, "You hide your key under the mat." He simply replied. I nodded, "I came here as quick as I could when you texted me." He replied.

"Yeah, let's talk somewhere else, in private at least." I walked to the kitchen, leading him there, as he sighed, leaning on the kitchen counter, waiting for me to speak, I let out a breath.

"I-I can't do this anymore." I choked out, he looks up at me. "What? Why?"

"Is it because that rockstar bestfriend of yours?!" He snapped at me, I flinched, gazing at Michael, who's casually typing away on his phone. "I'm sorry Jems for snapping at you." He apologized, immediately.

"It's okay, I have to explain a lot aren't I?" I asked, he nodded, crossing his arms, as he ushered me to tell the story.

"Wait, so we just broke up?" He asked, I nodded confused. "Uh, yeah?" He shrugged, how can he be so chill about it.

Here we go.

I was looking for a book that I need to read for our English class, so I searched shelf by shelf. A boy with pink dyed hair, was staring at me, I just smiled at him, and he looked away.

Well, that was rude.

After a few minutes I found the book, that I was looking for. "Romeo and Juliet" the book reads, I don't even know why our teacher decided on this book, but I know it's a great story.

I sat on the only empty table left, as I started to read the first part. Then, the pink dyed hair dude, walked in front of me, "Is it okay if I sit here?" I nodded, as I plugged in my earphones, blasting out Sleeping With Sirens, my favorite band. He must heard the music and got curious.

"So you like Sleeping With Sirens too?" He asked me, "Yeah, my favorite song is Feel." I replied, shyly putting a strand of hair at the back of my ear.

"Mine is Fire." He said, "I'm Michael by the way, now I feel like a creep." I chuckled, "I'm Jemma." I said, as I smiled at the boy I had just met, Michael.

"You two met in a public library? How romantic Jemma." Shane asked, rolling his eyes, I know he's annoyed. But, he needs to know everything.

"Oh shut up and let me continue the damn story." I said, making him zip his mouth shut.

"Jems, look who's going to ask you out.." Luke muttered, his eyes pointing out to Michael, as I smiled at him, and gave Luke a confused look. He shrugged, "Everyonr was gossiping about it. Jems, do the right thing." and stayed beside me.

Michael belonged to those druggies, jerks, pricks, or  douchebags. But, he's nice to me. Luke stayed probably to make sure I'm safe.

"Uh, hey Jems? Can you uh- please go on a date with me?" Michael asked, his eyes at the ground, and he's biting his lip. I smiled, Michael's a nice person, it's just his reputation that's why he's with those druggies shit. He told me that. We became bestfriends even if we have a different kind of people we hang out in. Luke, Calum, and Ashton doesn't want to be friends with him, and doesn't want me to be with him as well.

"Jems, you just broke up with Ashton." Luke whispered beside me, as I nodded. "Yeah, it's fine, Ashton told me to chase the person I really like. And it's Michael."
