NARROATORS POV

"just leave it, its probably jesse" carmen says as she looks over at the door. 

this catches jays attention, as he quickly picked the young girl up off his lap and onto the bed before making his way across the room. 

"yes?" he says with a smug look as he opens the door to the blonde boy. "oh, hey man.. i thought this was carmens room, my bad-"

"it is, what do you need?" the brunette boy spits harshly. "jay, dont be mean." carmen says as she comes up behind the boy. "you okay jess?" she speaks sincerely. 

"yeah, just couldnt sleep and wanted to see if you were still up. i didnt know you two had something going on though, thats my bad." jesse inquires with red cheeks. "oh, its really nothing jess. you can come in if you'd like," carmen says sweetly. 

"he can?" jay questions lowly.

"we were just sitting," carmen continues, ignoring the boy in her ear.

"no we werent," jay inquires smugly. 

"thanks, but i'll just head back to my room. ill see you tomorrow carr," jesse says before making his way down the hall. "why do you have to be so mean?" carmen asks as she slams the door behind her. 

"why do you have to be so nice?"

"jay,"

"oh relax. hes not gonna melt over a stare" jay says nonchalantly before sitting himself back down on the bed. 

"he might!"

"why do you care so much? you like him or something? since when do you care about other peoples feelings anyways?" 

"jay what are you talking about,"

"you know exactly what i'm talking about. you only ever care about yourself and you never stop to think what it does to other people,"

this left carmen dumbfounded. she's always one to put others before herself, so whatever jay was talking about really confused the girl. 

"you don't ever realize the effect you have on me," he starts again.

"i'm just some pawn in your stupid ass game and im tired of it. for three years you've been stringing me along and ive had to sit here and watch you flirt and date and talk to other people, and im not gonna just sit and take it anymore. you're selfish carmen, and everybody knows it." he finished with a huff.

what the fuck just happened...

"are you drunk or some shit? you're the one always throwing yourself at the first girl with anything over a c-cup you see you damn whore." carmen snaps back.

"to forget about you!" 

"oh dont bullshit me kelso im not stupid. you only want me when you're bored or your latest little toy isn't doing good enough."

"they arent doing good enough because they aren't you. have you not been listening? its about you carmen and it always has been. i like you." jay admits truthfully. 

carmens cheeks go red. 

'i like you,' 

the phrase repeating itself over and over in her head.

jay kelso, the biggest whore in point place wisconsin, and also coincidentally her bestfriend of 16 years, likes her?

"jay what.."
