Addiction: A Jemi Story

Chapter 32: Annoying

Demi's POV

We get out of the car and start to walk into an old school that Joe said he had went to before he moved. We were hoping that they would let us in so we could walk around and see where Joe had spent a lot of his time. Joe says that school should've ended an hour ago, so there would be no students. 

" Ready? " Joe asks opening the door for me making me smile.

" Yup. " I respond walking through the doors noticing the blue and yellow lined walls representing the school's colors. As soon as you walk in, you are in the commons where there is a lot of space, there is hardly any other people here except for a teacher and a janitor. You can hear cheers and music coming from a hallway to the right, there must be cheerleader practice or something. 

" So this is where you went to school? " I ask stating the obvious just trying to start a conversation.

" Yup for three torturous years. " He says smiling and throwing his arm around my shoulder, we then start to walk around hoping we wont get noticed since technically we are not supposed to be here.

" Does that mean you like our school better? " I ask curiously, our school did seem cleaner and nicer than this one.

" Yeah, our school is way better than this one. Our school just is nicer I guess, its safer and just less drama. " He responds taking me down the hall where the cheers are coming from.

" Oh just wait until Ashley's end of the year confessions, trust me you will see drama. " I say laughing remembering all of the girls tears from that list.

" What the hell is her end of the year confessions? " Joe asks chuckling yet curious, he sure was in for a surprise this year.

" Well at the end of every year, our school usually has an Assembly and Ashley always gets a speech. We call it her end of the year confessions speech since she always starts to confess her feelings on certain people. Like how she hates so and so, or how this person has no sense of style. Or how one year, she said how Mr. King was like the ugliest person shes ever seen. He quit that year. " I say thinking how absurd of a person she is, how could she do that? 

" Your joking right? " He asks making me laugh, only if he knew all of her other crazy traditions. 

" Nope, you know that burn book in that movie Mean Girls? " I ask thinking this is the only comparison I can think of.

" Yeah. " He says as we continue to walk down the hallway. 

" Well its like that, but shes just reading it out to the whole school. " I say thinking of how big of a bitch she is.

" Wow, I didn't actually think that she was that crazy. " He says making me smile, she sure is that crazy.

" Yup shes the queen of mean girls. Her speeches have actually caused fights and other crazy things. " I say remembering all of the chaos that shes created before.

" That's crazy, she needs help...wait...has she ever talked about you in her speeches? " He asks curiously making me wish that he didn't.

"...She leaves me for last. " I say remembering all the tears shes brought me, I still don't understand why she hates me so much.

" Demi i'm sorry." He says bringing me into a hug that makes me smile, hes so amazing.

" It's ok...lets continue the tour. " I say looking up and smiling, he smiles back and walk some more down the hall drawing nearer to the cheers. When we get closer, we look through the door to see the gym. Cheerleaders are lined up practicing cheers and routines.

" Do you know any of them? " I ask Joe who is looking at the line of girls, I hope he didn't date any of them before.

" Yeah a few of them are familiar. " He says squinting to see better since they are farther away, one of them then looks over and has a shocked expression on her face. That's when Joe grabs my hand and starts me to lead me away from the door.

" We should really go now. " He says looking panicked, he starts to drag me away making me even more curious.

" Who's that girl and why are you running away from her? " I ask curiously wanting to know, I won't be jealous if they have a past, but I just want to know.

" I'll tell you later, but we have to run like now. " He says walking fast down the hall, I have to start jogging to catch up to him.

" Joey! " I hear a voice behind me scream in a high pitch voice, I turn around to see the cheerleader that had noticed us running towards us. Joe turns around slowly not happy to see her, it makes me worry more about their past.

" Joey! " She says crashing into him with her arms spread, Joe tries to get out of her grasp but can't.

" Hey Camilla. " He says through clenched teeth trying to get her off, but shes attached like a squirrel. When he can't I tap her on the shoulder hoping she will notice, which she does. She looks at me with a look of disgust, that's when Joe pulls away from her grasp obviously happy to be away from her.

" What? " She asks me continuing with her glare, I smile and just go over to Joe and place my hand in his.

" Who's this Joey? " She asks looking at our intertwined fingers angrily.

" My girlfriend. " He says looking bored, I can now see why he wanted to get away from her before. I think anyone could notice that.

" Oh, well...what are you doing back here? I thought you moved to Canada or someplace. " She says looking down at her nails, I don't know how Joe could have dated a girl like this if he did.

" I didn't move to Canada, and we're just visiting. " He says apparently not wanting to give away where we actually lived.

" Oh...Cool I guess." She says apparently looking bored as well still glaring at me, I just glared back not going to give her satisfaction.

" Well...Joey, you should really come hang at my house and catch up with me, but don't bring this. " She says pointing at me with disgust. Was she really going to play this game with me?

" I rather not...um...nice seeing you Camilla, we have to go now. " He says starting to back away, she looks angry as he says this.

" But Joey. " She whines like a little girl, why would she think that that's attractive? 

" Bye. " He says smiling an obviously fake smile, she glares at me making me smile. Before I can let Joe walk away, I throw my arms around his neck and give him a fat kiss on his lips making it intense. His hands move to my hips pulling me closer playing along, his tongue touches mine and that's when I hear her scream in anger. I release and look to see her storming off back to the gym.

" Please don't tell me you dated her. " I say laughing because of her reaction taking his hands, we then start to walk back towards the doors.

" Yeah, I was for sure stupid then...why do you think I was telling you to run? " He says chuckling, I smile. I feel bad for every guy that has attempted to date her. 

" I now understand I should listen to your advice more often. " I say grinning, he laughs and so do I. Wow what a day.
