Jealousy

Chapter 4

"Hey,dad are you okay?" I ask seeing him walk down the stairs with his robe on and dark circles under his eyes. "I'm..fine." He answers and walks in the kitchen. My mom stands by me while I'm sitting at the kitchen island. "You sure,Logan?" My mom ask with her coffee in her hand.

"Fine!" He says firmly. I look at my mom and she says nothing. "Well I'm seeing someone." I say randomly. My dad looks at me confused. "What?" He ask. "I'm seeing someone." I repeat. "Who?" He ask. "This guy Matt." I say with a stupid goofy grin. My dads eyes go wide but he quickly turns back to normal and says, "Is that the guy you were talking to last night on the phone?" My smiles drop. Enzo.. I think then my smile turns into a genuine happy smile.

"No..that was just some guy." I answer with my head down to hide my smile. "Right.." My mom says knowing exactly who the 'some guy' is. I look down at my phone and Owens name pops up.

Owen-I'm here

"Owens here. I gotta go and dad please get some sleep. Love you." I say walking out the door with my book bag hanging on my back. I get in the back and we start to head to school.

"So hows Danny, Zoey?" I ask her. She smiles but tries to hide it. "He's..good. Hows Matt,Rue." She ask. "He's okay." I say. "I hate people who are in relationships." Owen says. "Aren't you and Spencer a thing just on the low?" I ask. "Whatever." He says. Me and Zoey look at each other and start laughing.

We make it to school and head to our lockers together. "Basketball tryouts are today." I say. Owen looks at me with a confused look. "And thats relevant why..." He says. I roll my eyes. "Spencers trying out." Zoey says. "And that's relevant why.."He says agin. Me and Zoey just rolls our eyes. "I think Danny is trying out." Zoey says. "En-Matt might be trying out." I say. I almost said Enzo! What the fuck?! "I don't know though, I haven't talked to him since yesterday." I say. I get my books and put them in my book bag. I sling it over my shoulder and closed my locker.

"Matt alert." Zoey says. I look over and see Matt walking to us. I smile. "Hey,babe." He says then lifts my chin up and gives me a kiss. My phone buzzes and I look down at it seeing Enzos name.

Enzo-Matts cheating on you.

"Everything okay?" Matt ask trying to look at my phone. I put it in my pocket before he could see it and I look up at him and give him on of my most fakest smiles. "Yup." I say. He smiles and puts his arm around me. "I'm gonna go to Danny. Bye guys." Zoey says with a wide smile. Owen just rolls his eyes and looks at Matt.

"I'm gay and single so mind if I take your girl for the moment?" He ask. Matt was about to answer but Owen cuts him off. "You don't have a choice." He says then grabs me and we start walking the opposite way of our class.

"Where are we going?" I ask him. "You have some things to explain." He says then pulls me down the stairs to the school's basement. "It smells like weed." I complain. "What do you think people do down here?" He ask like its the obvious thing in the world.

He pulls me into the bathroom and shuts the door. "Spill." He says pushing me down to the toilet seat. I sit down and look at him confused. "Oh come on. When you and Zoey were talking about basketball tryouts you were about to say Enzo." He says. Oh right I didn't text Enzo back. I take out my phone and text him back.

Rue- You don't know anything stop being jealous

I put my phone down and look at Owen. "I just stuttered." I say.

"Lie." He says.

I roll my eyes. "You know you can't lie to me." I sigh. "Fine. I talked to Enzo last night because he called and I answered. I just got them mixed up thats it." I say which wasn't a lie but wasn't the real answer to his question. He gives me a suspicious look but takes my lie and leaves the bathroom. "We better get to class." Owen says walking out. "I'll be there in a minute." I tell him.

I take out my phone once I know he's gone.

Enzo-I'm not being jealous trust me on this

I roll my eyes and decide not to answer him back. I get up and walk out the basement. As I'm walking to class I get pulled inti the closest. "You can't just-" I get cut off by seeing Enzos face and my face drops. "Oh..it's you." I say.

"Listen to me,Rue." He says holding my wrist. I snatch my wrist back. "I'll listen." I say. Even though I don't want to I know I have to. If I leave now I'm going to be thinking about it all day and then I won't focus and I can't have that.

"So what's up? Spill." I say leaning in the wall. "I saw Matt and some girl yesterday. You know when we were on the phone?" I nod. "That's when Spencer texted me the photo of them two."

"I thought you and Spencer were on a break or something."

"That was when he apologized. I didn't wanna tell you then because I like when we talk and watch movies like old times." His eyes look sincere and sorry. My lips are parted. I slightly smile and hug him. A small gasp comes from him but he hugs me back.

We let go of each other and we hear the bell ring. "Why'd you hug me?" He ask softly. I look to the side to avoid his gaze. "The way you were looking at me..It made me feel what I.." I was about to go until the second bell.

"We should go to class." I muttered then basically ran out the closet. Wow..is this how Owen felt. I kind of snickered at my joke as I walked in the class. The rest of the class I just tried to focus on my work and forget about what happened with Enzo.

"Hey,princess." Enzo says as I walk to my locker. "We can't be seen talking. You know that." I say not looking at him. I walk all the way to my locker and he's still right by my side.

"Please leave me alone." I say opening my locker. He doesn't say anything and I look at him. He has a slight smile and we make eye contact. "I'll leave you alone but," he takes his hand and moves a piece of my hair, "but..just know I'll always be here." I felt like crying in his chest or kissing him. I can't really tell but either way I can't do either of them.

Just then you spot Matt talking to his friend. You take my hand and pull his away from my face. I look to my locker and open it. "Please leave me alone." I say sadly. He looks over at Matt and sighs then walks away.

As I'm watching him walk away Matt comes up to me. "Hey,babe." He says kissing me. I smile. "You trying out for the basketball team?" I ask him. "Yup." He says with a big smile. I just nod and we walk together.

**
It's now lunch and Matt and I are sitting on one bench while Owen, and Zoey are on the other. We were all talking except for Owen who looked like he wanted to kill himself. "Owen don't you have a crush are someone?" Zoey ask trying to get him to join the conversation.

He just gives her a death stare and goes back to being gloomy and playing with his food. "Alright well I gotta go for basketball." Matt says. He gets up and walks to the gym.

"Spencer?" Owen says. I look behind me and Spencer is right behind. "You guys going to support your boyfriends?" Owen smiles. "You want us to?" Owen ask. "Yes." He says. Owen smile gets wider.

We all head to the gym and the first person I see is Enzo.
