Chapter 13 - Bad Day

[Correlates with Chapter 30-31 of Don't Fall For The Criminal. Book 1]

I'm surprised by the way I'm keeping my cool right now.

I came to the school with Johnson to get the guys because we have some serious shit to talk about and do. And then I saw Mackenzie walk out with her ex. She looked annoyed so I'm sure he's just annoying her. But I'm watching what she does before I freak out. I want to go over there and start a fight, but I want to see where this goes. Trust isn't something that comes easy to me.

I watched him hand her his phone and she held it to her ear like she was listening to something. I wonder what it is. She put the phone down and looked this way. The windows are really tinted so I know she doesn't see me, but she knows it's Johnson's van. She looked over at Cody and pressed her hand against her forehand like she was stressed.

"Yo, you seeing what I'm seeing, bro?" Travis asked as he got into the van. Hunter and Kade got in too.

"Yup" I mumbled back as I watched her and ex still talking.

"Isn't she suppose to come home with us?" Kade asked.

"Yup" I repeated.

"I'm going to call her." Travis told us. I watched after a few seconds she looked down at her phone. And Gigi walked up to them. I saw her answer.

"Hey" I heard her voice. Travis had her on speaker.

"Hey we're waiting in the van don't take too long" I heard Travis say.

"No it's fine you can leave. I have a different ride today" I heard her annoyed tone. I looked back at Travis and signaled for him to give me the phone.

"Oh okay. Wait Jason wants to talk to you" He said and handed me the phone.

"Hey my phone is dead, but why aren't you coming with us?" I asked her. I'm going to be calm with her. Well, I'm going to try.

"Because I want Gigi to take me home" She said back. She's not being herself.

"I was gonna stay with you" I said and I heard her sigh. "Wait I'm getting out to talk to you"

"No don't-" I cut her off by hanging up.

"Nah what the fuck is her problem?" I said to the guys then got out of the car. I left Travis phone on the seat. I leaned against the van as she walked this way. You can tell by her face she's annoyed.

"Why can't I take you home?" I asked her with a chuckle.

"I said because I want Gigi to take me home" She said and crossed her arms. Wow.

"What's your problem?" I asked her getting annoyed now. She rolled her eyes. "Don't you dare start that again"

"My problem is that you want to tell Codys friend that you don't have a girlfriend and said fine to getting with his friend!" She raised her voice at me. I was a little taken back that she knew that, but also mad that she raised her voice at me. That happened last week.

"What are you talking about?" I tried to act like I didn't know.

"So now you're acting like that never happened?" She asked me. I guess there's no hiding it. The guy must have recorded it and that's what she was listening to before.

"Do not even try to raise your voice at me here" I said as I stood up straight. "And I only said fine to him so I could get my money" I admitted.

"And what was the problem with having a girlfriend?" She asked me.
