Why was Junior staring at you?

Why was he even looking at you? Did you do anything to make him feel pissed off? You barely knew him, what could you have done? You felt uncomfortable though, and turned back around. Jake noticed how uneasy you were.

"y/n, are you alright? He asks. "you seem uncomfortable." "First day nerves, You lied, biting your lower lip.  He sighed. "Look, i know when someone is lying-"

"Ms. L/N, Mr. Wheeler, what is so important that you have to talk about?"

You were so embarrassed as people began laughing around you, great, you wanted a nice first impression but clearly that failed. "No, Ms. Fairchild, Jake said, saving your life. You mouthed a thanks as she continued on. 

You wished you hadn't moved in the middle of the year, at least finish the year, right? But your mother was so excited to move she could not wait at all. You knew that now people saw you as a loser already, which was super embarrassing. 

After class, you decided to stick with Jake, it was already bad enough that people started to spread around you and jake were a thing, when he was gay, and pretty much, no everyone knew that. 

"Ugh, total assholes, You muttered under your breath as people kept reminding you of that incident from the first period. "They normally are, Jake piped in.  You sighed. "My Mom thought this would be a good school for me, so far it hasn't."

"That is a shame Y/n, Jake said. "But i felt that way too, when i first started in sixth grade." You felt horrible for him, he probably got picked on for his sexuality, you felt bad since he had a rough life at home.

"How come you let them be rude to you? You asked, genuinely curious. "I mean, i'm used to it, He replied casually. "Plus, i don't care anymore about what they think. I'm being myself now. "

Whoa, note to self, be like Jake, You thought to yourself. I want his confidence so bad. "Good mindset Jake, You said. "I don't think we have this next class together, so see you around Jake!" He smiled and waved at you.

Unknowingly, Junior was staring at you as you walked to your next class, there was something about you that made him go all warm inside...

He decided to hide that though, and pay more attention to Lexy.

You entered your next class and sat next to a boy, he looked nice, you decided to say hi to him. "Hi, you whisper. "Hi, he whispers back. "are you new here? i've never seen you around before."

"Actually, i am new. my name's y/n, you?"

"Devon, nice to meet you Y/N."

--

At lunch, you noticed Jake sitting alone, you sat across from him. "Hey y/n, didn't expect to see you at all, He laughed. You chuckled. "What kind of person would skip lunch? not this girl." He smiled, then Devon, the boy who you met earlier sat down.

"Y/N, that is super funny, Devon said. "You've met each other? Jake asked. You nodded. "We met in the period before lunch, actually." You saw that only two tables down was Lexy and Junior, and of course their group of friends.

You hoped this year would be easy, but would it? 

You stared back at Devon and Jake, talking to each other like you have known each other for your entire lives. You felt so lucky to have 2 friends now. You had a close group back at your old town, but your friendship ended terribly. 

But here, you kind of felt like you could tell them anything and wouldn't judge you for it, Devon and jake went through similar experiences as you, which might be why you three clicked. Your phone beeped right as you were saying something. 

"Wait a second! You say, seeing it was a text from your mom, she sometimes got paranoid for no reason. 

M/N

y/n, i want to apologize. 

Y/N

Okay, look Mom, i am still pretty mad at you for marrying someone i didn't even know about until we moved here. Let me guess, he is moving in with us soon?

M/n 

Y/n... please let me talk. 

Y/n

Fine, talk Mom. what do you have to say?

M/N

Matthew is a very nice man, and we have been dating secretly for 2 years, i never told you because of this. He IS moving in this week and i am sorry... really am, for everything. 

y/n

OK OK, i wanna get back to lunch, love you! 

M/N

Love you too! 

You sighed in frustration, your mother never filed to make you annoyed, thinking that dating another man could replace your father, which wouldn't ever be the case. "You okay? Devon asked. You shook your head. "My Mom.... She moved on so fast from my Dad, who died."

"I'm so sorry Y/n."

"It's not your fault, it is my mother's that she is replacing my father so quickly."

You would admit that you loved your mother, but she sometimes made you feel like she would do things she thought were the best for you when they weren't, for example, marrying another man. 

"Everything will be okay y/n, Jake said. "I promise." You smile, his assurance calmed you down, making you less annoyed.

After school, your mother drove you home like always, and the tension was there. Your mother seemed to be sad in a way. Was it because she felt bad? You couldn't tell at all. You managed to get Jake and Devon's numbers though, so that was good.

"I am very disappointed in you, M/n randomly blurted. You sighed. "Mom, I did nothing. You replaced Dad."

"I still love your father, Matthew is a very nice man and i fell in love, we both did. What is so wrong with that?"

You entered your house then sighed. "Mom, I get it. But I fucking hate that you think i can forgive you for moving on so quickly!" You stormed up to your room, not seeing the guilty look on M/n's face.
