Confused.

Chapter 6

Chapter 6. 

Yes.

-Cassie's P.O.V- 

Jake looked into my eyes, trying to find an answer. Hopefully a positive one. His hopeful face must have seen through me, slowly turned to a smile. His eyes filled with joy. 

'I-'' He placed his index finger to my lips, shushing me. 

''I know.'' Jake whispered. Shuffling his blonde hair. 

''Good then, it could be awkward. Won't it?'' 

''Nah. You better get used to it.'' And winked at me. 

Just as I was about to say something .

''WHAT THE....?!''   Was that... Cole? 

Jake spun around to see Cole standing just a few meters behind us. I was, too, staring at Cole. His jaws clenched. His face full of anger, he's raging. 

Me and Jake didn't make a sound, afraid of what Cole would do next, he's scary when he's furious. 

''Calm down Cole..'' I tried to comfort him, though, it never works. At least I gave it a shot, right? 

''DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.'' He roared.

''WHY ARE YOU SO DAMN ANGRY?!!'' I couldn't help it, I was never scolded by Cole like this. 

''BECAUSE YOU AND THAT ASSHOLE JAKE ARE LITERALLY FLIRTING!'' I saw both jealousy and anger in his eyes. 

''CAN'T I? I HAVE MY PRIVATE LIFE TOO!'' Everyone was quiet, including Jake, listening to our 'conversation'. 

I saw hurt on his eyes. For a moment. I'm sorry, Cole. 

I ran to the girl's bathroom. Ignoring the whispers that was barely soft. Tears streaming down my cheeks. Why? Why did Cole talk to me like that! What happened to him?! Can't I share some time with someone I love? Cole is just, over protective over me! And no one even gave him the permission to invade so much into my life! I don't need him! Just because he's close to me doesn't mean I'm his. Or whatever. He used to support with me, with Jake. Now? I don't think so. 

I was sitting on the toilet seat, covering my face with my palms. Neither of them showed up. Oh maybe it's because it's the girl's toilet....... 

I was done crying. Sick of these drama. I'm gonna talk it out with Cole, if he even would talk to me. I still have no idea why he did that. I need a explanation. 

I was washing my face with the cold, sink water. I wish I could just be home right, take a good cold bath and go to sleep. Like nothing happened. But nooooo, my mum would scold the shit out of me if I ever just leave school, like that. I mean, it's not like I'm gonna tell her what happened, right? 

~*~ 

Cole didn't come to class for Math. 

He was probably sobbing in the bathroom. Nah, he never cries.

Jake's sitting next to me, occasionally  asking if I'm okay. 

I say yes all the time, it's kinda annoying me but I guess he's just concerned.

And I could tell he was quite nervous, he never sat next to me in the classes we shared before. Cole was the one. I guess that's why Jake sat here today. He was normally with the jocks, where they were called the 'cool kids'.

I'm dying to know where Cole went, probably went home.

''Jake?''

''Yeah?'' He faced me, smiling.  

''Do you know where Cole went?''  

His smile immediately dropped and turned towards his book on the table. 

''I don't know.'' He murmured.

-Cole's P.O.V-

Where am I going? It doesn't matter, nothing matters to me now. I feel like I'm flying, on my bike. The wind blowing my dark brown hair. It's so refreshing. But so.... non-meaningful. 

Why the heck did both of them flirt?! Cassie know very well that Jake doesn't like her, well.. after the incident last year. Isn't she scared that Jake is playing around with her? Like, get in a relationship with her, lead her on, and just dump her like a piece of trash?! Haven't she thought of any of these?! 

I just hope they wouldn't even be a couple. And I will definitely not support them. 

I was so dumb last time, giving Cassie advices. What had gotten into my head? 

~*~ 

-Jake's P.O.V- 

Ohmygod. I just can't stand this anymore. Cassie ignoring me, and to know that Cole is on her mind now just gave me a indirect heartache. 

I always loved Math, with the jocks. Their like, laughing their heads off. Why did I ever choose to sit beside Cassie? Oh wait, we're a couple now. But I still can't stand the quietness between us, I had to break the silence. 

''Cassie, you know we can't go on like this.'' Finally. 

''Jake, you know it's not the time to talk now.'' 

''I know, but I have to!'' My volume rose, Mr. Joseph, our Math teacher, stopped writing on the chalk board and spun around. 

''Yes, Jake?'' 

I stood up, ''Nothing Mr. Joseph. I was just rehearsing my lines for drama with Cassie.'' 

''Okay, keep your volumes down.'' 

Phew, that was close. I sat on my chair lazily. 

''Ouch!'' Cassie pinched me, I swear girl pinches are really painful.

''That's for lying, with me inside. You didn't have to add me in.'' 

''Well, I thought adding your name in makes the whole sentence sexier.'' I smiled evilly. 

''I guess it did.'' With a wink. 

-Cassie's P.O.V- 

Jake's statement had brighten up my  mood a bit. 

But still not able to keep Cole out of my mind.

I'm still mad at  Cole for acting that way. 

Oh gosh Case, don't you understand?

I love you. 

What the heck was that? 

I must be imagining stuffs again.

Again? More like never.

This is the first time.
