Fighting Feelings

Chapter 7

Charlotte POV

I let out a groan as I feel my shoulders being violently shaked, and I open my eyes to see Jasmine standing over me.

"Good morning" She smiles while I rub my eyes.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I mumble as I sit up, and she jumps on my bed beside me. "Ive been up since six and I was bored" Jasmine shrugs, and I chuckle before standing up and walking over to my closet.

"Im picking your outfit. Go shower" Jasmine tells me, and I groan but listen since I'm too tired to argue.

I shower and brush my teeth, as well as my hair before stepping out of my bathroom. I walk over to my bed which Jasmine was sitting on and see she has a grey, plaid pencil skirt and a tight black, long sleeve top laid out.

"Jas can I just wear-" "No" She answers, and I sigh.

Could be worse.

I put on the skirt, and look to see Jasmine staring at me. "You should go on a diet" Jasmine randomly tells me, and I frown.

"What?" I ask in confusion. "You should go on a diet. Cheer try outs are just around the corner. You have to look your best" Jamine tells me. "It'll be fun. We'll be diet besties. Now hurry up and change" Jasmine tells me before turning back to her phone.

Again, too early to argue.

I put on the sweater and Jasmine grins. "You look so hot. See? This is why you should wear what I tell you to" Jas smiles before getting off my bed and kissing me cheek. "Lets go downstairs. I'm starving" She tells me, and I chuckle before following her downstairs.

"Morning Charlotte" Alex says as I walk into the kitchen. "And Jasmine" He mumbles as Jasmine follows behind. Leo mumbles something, and Sage slaps his arm while Clayton smirks.

"Hey guys" Jas smiles, while I walk over behind the counter. "Hi" Casey says, and Leo shoots her a quick smile to which she smiles back before walking over to me.

There is two plates both with two pancakes on them, and I smile before taking a plate, Jasmine doing the same. I sit on top of the counter while Jasmine leans against it, before we start eating.

"Thanks for taking me home the other night" Jasmine says, and I smile. "No problem" I tell her.

"And I saw the video. You were so badass!" Jasmine squeals, and I grin. "What video?" Leo suddenly asked, and I internally groan.

"The video of-"

"Nothing" I tell them, and I turn to see them all staring at me in suspicion, while Clayton shoots me a thumbs up causing me to roll my eyes.

Jasmine seemed to get the hint that I didn't want them to know, and moved closer. "Where did you learn self defense like that?" She whispered, and I shrug.

"Movies" I lie, but she believed it and continued eating her pancakes.

In reality, my brothers taught me. Once a week since I was twelve they teach me self defense, or simple just train with me. They do it so I'll know how to defend myself if I ever need to.

I check the time on my phone and curse. "We have to go" I tell her, and I put our plates in the sink before we quickly run out the door.

*******

Im sitting alone at our usual lunch table, trying to ignore all the stares I've been getting all day. Everyone, and I mean everyone, has seen the video of me threatening that guy. And for some reason they now feel the need to stare at me.
