Unexpected Love.

Chapter 5

As soon as I got home I called Jaden and told him mostly everything. I didn't tell him about Clyde's brother, that was personal and I knew I couldn't say anything about that. I only told him of the small peck and the kiss that came after, also said I took a picture and he seemed over joyed with that. The conversation with Clyde came back to my mind right before we hung up so I decided to ask him about it.

"Hey one more thing Jaden. Clyde told me that the two of you used to be friends awhile ago." I said and waited for him to answer. It took longer than I thought it would. I could hear him breathing on the other end of the call.

"Yeah. That bastard and I used to be friends before he got all into sports and those idiot friends he has now. We grew apart and he never spoke to me again." He told me, he sounded off for some reason and I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Well if we want this plan to work you have to make it seem like you forgive him and let him apologize and become somewhat of a friend." I told him and I heard him laugh on the other end.

"Only for the plan. I want to see him get what he deserves for what he has been doing to us for the past two years Lyn. He's hurt you and me so much we can't just let him get a free pass after knowing what he is planning on doing in the future." He told me.

"Yeah I know. I know what he is planning. But we need you to get along with him also for him to fall for what we have planned."

"I get it. I will go along with it. Gatta get to bed. See you in the morn Lyn." He told me.

"Night Jaden." I hung up after that and laid in my bed staring at the celling. I ran my fingers over my lips remember the kisses I shared with Clyde that night. everything he said was running around my head wondering if it was all true or just all lies. How did he come up with all that stuff to say if all of it was just a lie. Why would he make something like that up about his brother and his parents. Did he want me to believe he was gay so bad he had to go that far with it. I finally was able to fall asleep while having all sots of dreams, good and bad, about Clyde.

The next day while at school I could see that Clyde was trying his hardest to keep looking at me and smiling. It brought a smile to my face every time I saw him trying to hide it from his friends. I was sitting in class thinking about the conversation I had with my parents before I left for school. It went alright. They accepted that I wanted to be friends with Clyde but severely cautioned me on trying to date him. They think that he is straight and just didn't want me getting hurt by being rejected by him.

During science I sat in the back like I normally do and watched as the rest of the class came in. Usually the last person in was stuck with sitting with me so I never knew who my partner for that day was. I continued to watch and noticed that Clyde hasn't shown up yet and when he was the last person to walk in the room I saw him grimace and look at his friends. They all laughed and joked with him before he made his way over to sit next to me. Once he sat down I felt a hand on my leg as he looked over at me with a smile on his face.

"Sorry bout that reaction. The guys were right there." He squeezed my leg as he talked and I nodded at him.

"I get it. Why are you so late today." I asked because normally he was one of the first ones in class.

"I did it on purpose so I could sit with you." He smirked at me and I laughed, making everyone look back at us and he quickly moved his hand from my leg. That did hurt a little knowing how fast he moved away from me, but I knew it was all an act and I had to play along.

"Sorry." He whispered.

"You don't have to keep saying it, I get it alright." I snapped. I couldn't help it. I was starting to see this was going to be harder than I planned. I had to learn to close my heart off before I really did get hurt from him.

"Oh, um alright." He whispered back and for the rest of the class we didn't talk. I felt bad for that when I saw how upset he seemed. Right before the bell rang I slid my hand over to his leg and squeezed it to get his attention.

"Come to my house after school we can hang out." I told him and saw him nod his head before he got up to leave. I quickly grabbed my things and went to meet Jaden at lunch. He was sitting at the table alone when I got there with my food. He looked up at me and smiled as I sat down.

"He's coming over tonight to hang out." I told him before I started to eat my food.

"Really and what do you plan on doing today?" He asked and I told him I was probably going to record us just in case anything happens and I don't have to try to take a picture instead. It would be easier to look through the footage to see what we got. I didn't know what was going to happen but just in case something did I wanted to be prepared. Jaden loved that idea. He told me it would be easier to humiliate and destroy Clyde with video proof instead. He got this look in his eyes that was making me nervous for some reason.

"I know you over heard them talking about the bet and wanting to set me up for humiliation, but what if you misunderstood what they were saying?" I asked him and his head snapped up to me, looking me in the eye.

"He is not a good person and if his friends were talking about that he is in on it with them. I told you because I am your friend and don't want you getting hurt in the end from what ever it is they have planned. Please don't fall for his tricks Lyn. Please." He grabbed my hand and gently rubbed his thumb on the back of it. I have never seen him like this before and it worried me.

"I get it. I know you are worried for me. I will keep my heart closed and keep an eye on what he does. I will let you know what happens. And thank you again for looking out for me. I am glad you are my friend Jaden." I told him. Later that day I went home and set my camera up to catch everything that was going to happen in my room. Then I waited for Clyde to show.
