Chapter 12: Jealousy? Help With A Boyfriend?

§Jealousy? Help With a Boyfriend?§

~*~ I TOLD YALL I WOULD POST IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS!!! It's in the same day!!! And you didn't believe me.~*~

I walk down the halls the way to the cafeteria with Jessi telling her the story and she practically faints.

"Awe he saved you. See I need a boyfriend that can save me in times of need."

"Really Jessi? You punched your locker so hard, you dented it, and broke two fingers," She opens her mouth to interrupt me, but I continue, "When Sharon Brayden tried to date your older brother just to get in his pants you intimidated her so much, whenever she would see you in the halls she would fall to the floor to try and become less visible. As if. You don't need anyone to protect you in times of need, everyone else needs someone to protect them from you."

"Well...yea..but it's the effort that counts."

"Don't you mean thought?"

"No if any guy THOUGHT I couldn't take care of myself, then I wouldn't date them, I would pummel them to prove it." I chuckle at her as she holds her head triumphantly. We turn another corner and see Derek and the boys standing in the hall by Seth's locker. They turn and smile when they see us. I've forgiven Sam and we're friends now. We walk to lunch together, but go our separate ways. A pair of arms wrap around my waist and I'm pulled into a muscular chest.

"Hello beautiful." He whispers in my ear.

"Hello Cole." I chuckle at my nickname for him.

"You know you're the only one that knows my middle name."

I put a hand over my heart and gasp, "Well don't I feel so special!" He chuckles at my accent. Most people that know me well enough know that I can go into a different accents at any time, but it's usually southern or British. He grabs my hand and I lace fingers with him as we walk through the doorway. All heads are turned our way jaws ajar.

"*cough*Scum*cough*" Someone muttered from the crowd. I scoff and roll my eyes.

"Y'all are just jealous that you can't do this," I turn to face Ashton and pull him down to me. We kiss and he wraps his arms around my waist, growling into my mouth. As we part I smirk and he chuckles, "Awe....close your mouth Hun, your gonna catch flies." I smile at Karla as she starts to fume. I walk outside to my normal table under the grove of trees.

"I love it when you act rude," Ashton whispers in my ear as we sit.

I chuckle, "Well its my specialty around you." I gasp as he places his hand on the top of my thigh near my hip, his warmth seeping through my bare skin. He smirks and rubs his thumb in circles. I lean into him and peck his lips.

"Awe.... You guys are too cute!" Jessi squeals sitting down with her tray of disgusting school lunch. I roll my eyes and Ashton's chest vibrates against me as he chuckles.

"So who would look good with me?"

"Whoa, Woah, Woah. Wait. What are you talking about?" Ashton says looking at Jessi wide eyed.

"Boys, duh." Jessi replies turning back to me.

"So, you can either stay with us or-" I begin, but get cut off by Ashton quickly kissing my cheek and walking away backwards. He blows me a kiss, 'sorry' he mouths. I chuckle to myself as I turn back to Jessi, "Okay....hmmm....well Sam is out of the picture..."

"WHAT?! Why?!" She screeches eyes wide.

"Really? You still like him after he showed no interest in you and kissed two girls back to back?!"

"Yea....it's just he was so...so...sexy." I scoff and roll my eyes.

"Get over him. There are so many other hot guys in the school. I think our school has a record for most hot guys at one place." I look around the crowded lunchroom in search for a cute guy, good enough for my best friend. My eyes land on a pair gazing behind me at Jessi. Her being the oblivious person she is, just keeps eating her gross food. I catch the boys eye and wave him over. Immediately I recognize him as Ricky. He was sweet, outgoing, and cute. He had crystal blue eyes, blonde hair that he puts into a quiff, and was pretty fit. He sits next to me and looks at Jessi with admiration in his eye. I clear my throat obnoxiously and she looks up with spaghetti noodles hanging out her mouth.

"What?" She asks. She then proceeds to look beside me and her eyes widen as she spits out the excess noodles and wipes her face with her sleeve. I dare to glance at Ricky and expect to see disgust written on his face, but instead see amusement. I smile to myself and come up with an excuse.

"Well I-uh I've got to go-check on my locker....uhm....make sure it's okay?" I sigh as Jessi rolls her eyes. We have a conversation with looks- 'way to go' 'I couldn't think of anything better' 'thanks' 'be safe' and with that I chuckle, send her a wink, and walk off smirking. I turn the corner and run right into Karla.

"Well, if it isn't the attention hog herself." Karla says glaring.

"Takes one to know one." Someone behind me replies.

"Stay out of this. God! Why is everyone standing up for her?! She is such a fugly pig!" She stomps her foot throwing a mini temper tantrum.

"Sorry are you looking in the mirror again?" I smirk at the comeback. She screams in frustration and sharply turns on her heals, stalking off.

"I never would have been able to come up with those comebacks. Thank you Derek."
