'Befriending' Ms Matthews (gxg)

Chapter 11: Breaking apart (Jamie's pov)

So Keith decided to listen to his feelings and date the man he still loves, good for him. I just wish I could do the same. I have been taking into thought all the advice towards Keith that was given last night and can't help but think about me and Eva...

Should I just forget about our past and get with her? or just not even bother and keep her out of my life? I feel like I know what the answer is but I don't want to be making any mistakes or moves I will regret. Now that I think about all the times Eva and I were kissing, did I even feel anything? I can't recall anything special.

When we get to lunch, Keith pulls up a chair for Corey and insists he sit with us. He slowly sits down while staring at Oli and Becca who are pissed off that Keith took him back.

Tay jumps in "Will you two stop it? It's not a problem that Keith took him back! They love each other! That's all that matters!"

Oli rolls his eyes "Oh god, here we go again...you and your 'love is all that matters' bullshit!"

"What is your problem? Why are you being such an asshole?!"

"Because I know that this jerk is no good for him and he should be with someone who can give him actual happiness!"

Keith and Corey get so upset at their comment, they get up and sit at a different table.

That doesn't stop Oli from stating their opinion, "I mean if Tay were an asshole to me in the past, I wouldn't be with him!"

"Okay you can finish saying whatever is on your mind, I will be in the bathroom" Tay gets up and leaves.

A few minutes pass without any opinions being spoken, until Oli starts speaking again, "I mean, I love him but he always thinks he is so important and knows everything!" He can't be talking about Taylor...right? "All of this nonsense about love is so immature. He needs to grow up and realize how harsh reality is.

"I think I have a pretty damn good idea of how harsh reality can fucking be, Oli!" Oh shit...Tay heard Oli complaining about him. "If you really think I'm that annoying or hard to deal with, just leave me okay? I don't want to be treated like shit!"

He grabs his stuff and sits over by Corey and Keith. I look at them all eating together, Tay catches me staring at them and actually flips me off! I get it he's really mad at Oli for what he said but why is he taking it out on me? I haven't done anything to him!

Next period feels very weird, we'll for one, I have to complete a project with Taylor. And two, he doesn't seem too happy about it. We get started on it without saying a single word to each other. I get so frustrated, "I did nothing to you so why are you treating me like I did the worst possible thing to you?!"

"We'll for one, you just let them keep speaking when you clearly saw I was right behind them. Second, you didn't even bother to help me. I had such a shitty day yesterday and I don't need to be looked down on today!"

I yell, "So it's my fault your life is a fucked up mess?! Okay go ahead, blame me!"

He yells back, "You have always made my life a living hell!!!"

Our teacher starts to yell as well, "West! Evans! I will not have this go on inside my class! Go to the principal's office!"

Taylor scoffs at me, "see? Look what you did you fucking skank!"

"That's enough! Go! Now!" He grabs the both of us and moves us into the hall. As we walk out I look back to see Eva staring at me, I give her a slight wave before I leave the room, she gives one back.

We walk into the principal's office and see that my dad and Taylor's mom are already talking to the principal. She asks us to sit down and immediately we both start to blurt out our sides of the story.

She cuts both of us off, "Hold on! One at a time! Mr Evans, you may go first..."

He takes a deep breath, "So I have been having a really bad week, yesterday I was told something that I wished never came out of their mouth" he looks at his mom from the corner of his eye. "And same thing happened today, my partner told me that they find me so annoying and hard to deal with"

"That's because you are! There's nothing wrong with that!" I mumble

"Ms West! I am so sorry Taylor, continue..."

"I just needed someone to talk to and it's not making my life any better now that the majority of my friend group finds me annoying". Tears are visibly flooding from his face.

The principal hands him some tissue and asks me to say my side of the story.

"I had no idea what Taylor was going though, I mean I would have if he actually talks for me. How can I help him if I don't know what he needs help with? We have been friends for years and it hurts me to think that he doesn't trust me at all".

"Okay, so it seems both of you carry some blame for this altercation, so I have no choice but to have the two of you put in detention today after school".

We both look down and nod our heads. Part of me feels bad and wants to take all the blame for the incident, but he didn't have to be such a damn asshole to me for no reason!

—————

After the period ends, Eva meets me outside the principal's office, "What happened?"

"Well I got a detention today for no fucking reason at all! It's all Taylor's fault!" I groan. "How am I supposed to help someone if they don't tell me what the issue is?!".

She places and arm around my neck and I could feel her rubbing my shoulder. It sort of calms me down, but I know what she does that calms me down even more. I grab her hand and take her into the bathroom, I pick her up so she is sitting on top of the sink and I start to kiss her. I missed her soft lips on mine.

She pushes me off of her, "I don't think it would be the best idea to do this now. Maybe we can continue this later? In private?"

I help her get off of the sink, "yeah, that seems like a safer bet..." I give her a slight kiss on her lips and walk to my next class, obviously I am late but I can't help it that I needed her to calm me down with her soft ass lips. So I guess I do feel something when I kiss her... I feel more calm...more relaxed. But does that mean I want Eva to be my girlfriend? Could be? Maybe not...
