Mr Player vs The bad boy.

CHAPTER 31

-KASEY'S POV-

I heard she cheated on Brad.

I heard Brad dumped her because she is pregnant.

No, I heard its her friend that got pregnant by an old accountant.

We know Ricky never even liked her.

She is not even pretty and now James is her next victim. I heard they even slept together.

The gossip in Preston High never stopped and this time they were all about me. Usually they died after a day, but unfortunately for me its been a week and they kept getting hotter by the day.

Although I wasn't guilty for that kiss. It was very difficult to look at Brad. The person I never expected to be there for me was actually the person giving me strength to cope and also gave me rides to school.

There he was, with his warm smile walking down the filled corridor heading in my direction.

"Hey." He greeted.

"Hi James." I returned the smile.

I could hear hushed whispers behind me and also two pairs of lobes burning holes behind my back as I went to exit the doors. I knew exactly whom they belonged to, Brad Davis and Ricky Parker.

James was taking me home just like he has been doing for the past week. He has been nothing, but a complete sweet heart, but he could never replace what I have for Brad and I just saw him as a friend.

Danny did come around and him and Tracy were going to tell Tracy's parents about the pregnancy tonight. I just hope everything goes well.

Wendy for the first time was really in love and I was jealous of her happiness glow. Her and Martin are getting stronger by the day.

"Kasey?" I snapped my head at a concerned look James was throwing at me.

"Mhm?" I asked confused. I totally spaced out and I felt guilty because James has been listening to my problems all week.

"Umm..nothing, absolutely nothing. " he gave me a forced tight smile. I could tell what he had said was important, but I wasn't going to force it out of him either.

I got into his car once we arrived where he had parked. For some reason the ride always felt suffocating. It was dead silent and very uncomfortable. I wasn't used to
James at all and that was probably the reason.

"Want me to put the music on? "

"Can you please put the music on?" I asked the same time he had asked. We both shared a small uncomfortable laugh because we both wanted to have music on to cover the awkward silence.

He then switched the radio on and Battlefield by Jordan Sparks stated playing . He gave me a concerned look before changing the station and right here by the pussycat dolls was playing. He changed the station and keep bleeding by Leona Lewis was playing on the next station.

"Maybe we shouldn't play the radio." I let
out a nervous laugh. Its like all those songs matched my emotions and I didn't want to crash down in front of James...this time.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the support James has been giving me, but there was just something about him I didn't trust. He has never gave me reasons not to trust him, but I can not ignore my gut feeling.

We drove in boring silence. I found myself counting the lampposts which was far more interesting than the conversations I held with James. We finally arrived at my place and I was very excited to escape from him until...
