07 - I LIKE YOU

By the time we got back I was pretty sore. Jere said goodbye to his Dad. "Let's watch the fireworks." He suggested. 

"Alright."

As we went outside, we seen Conrad and Belly kissing under the fireworks. I was pretty shocked. "That's new." Jeremiah had a look of hurt on his face, and left me outside.

I was pretty dumbfounded by the action. Did he like Belly?

The next day I was with Solana practicing for the Debutante waltz. "Why didn't you ask Cameron?" I 

"He's with Belly, I can't." 

"I'm talking about before they got together." 

"I feel dumb now." She said.

"You should feel dumb." She giggled. "I have a problem."

"What is it?" 

"Okay. Don't freak out. But I had sex with Jeremiah."

"What!?" 

"Twice."

"So what's the problem?"

"I don't think he's into me. I think he likes Belly."

"Oh. Yeah that is a problem."

"I've told Belly I liked him before a few days ago. But I left it at that."

"Surely she wouldn't go after your crush right?"

"I don't think she will. We saw her kissing Conrad last night." Solana raised her eyebrows at that. 

"Isn't he with Nicole?" 

"That's the point. A whole fucking mess." A few moments later Jere came into the room and practiced with Belly. My heart stopped beating for a moment.

"He told me he doesn't do deb balls." One girl said.

"So he's definitely doing this for her." I told Solana. 

"Don't cry, don't cry." She said.

Later that day I was on break from the pool and was eating next to Jere when Gigi and some girl came. They ran on about how fun the rehearsal was but I was pretty annoyed. I groaned and walked away from them.  

I sat next to Nicole and Shayla who were at poolside. "I hate men," I groaned.

"Don't we all?" Shayla giggled, her and Steven were back on good terms.

"What's up?" Nicole asked.

"I can't say. But I really, really hate life." Jeremiah came and sat next to us. "And that's my cue." I sat up leaving and heading to the storage room to get some more towels.

Jeremiah came in after me. "Why the cold shoulder?" 

"I don't know what your talking about." 

"Alf don't lie to me," He grabbed my hand, "What's wrong?"

"Do you like Belly?" I could tell my question caught him by surprise.

"What? No- no- I don't like her."

"You don't have to lie."

"I'm not. I- I like you." 

I'll just have to take his word for it.

I was on facetime with Solana later, I let her know that Cameron was now single, but she didn't want to ask him. I told her about how Jere said that he liked me and she was really happy.

 I went downstairs with my phone. When I heard some muffled sounds. "It's probably Laurel and her new boo." I whispered. 

"Please show me." She giggled and I flipped the camera, and walked into the kitchen.

It wasn't Laurel and some guy.

It was Belly and Jeremiah. Making out in the kitchen. It looked intense. "What the fuck!?" Solana screamed into her phone at the two. 

By the time they noticed me I already had glossed eyes. Solana was screaming and cursing at the two. "Alfie-" Jeremiah tried to say, but I told them both to go fuck their selves and left the kitchen.
