Jade West x fem reader OS

the crush pt. 2

It's Tuesday, lunchtime, and as usual I'm sitting next to my girlfriend and her friends, being completely ignored, also as usual.

Annoyed, I look around and watch as Jade and her group of friends walk to their table. Briefly, I look over at Kiandra, who is far too busy talking to her friends to notice that I'm totally annoyed, and decide to just leave.

In fact, she doesn't even look at me as I stand up and grab my backpack.

I roll my eyes. This is so typical, and yet I am disappointed. I was once so excited that Kiandra would want to be with me, of all people. Where did that feeling go?

My gaze turns to Jade. That's where that feeling has gone.

I slowly walk to her table and stop in front of it.

"Hey, can I join you guys?", I ask with a nervous undertone in my voice.

Jade lifts her head and looks at me expressionlessly.

Tori, on the other hand, smiles broadly at me.
"Sure you can, come here."

She scoots a little so I can sit down between Beck and her.

I smile gratefully at both of them, trying not to let on that it hurts me that Jade is so dismissive of me.

Of course, I didn't expect exuberant joy, but at least more than an expressionless face.

Nevertheless, I feel her gaze on me, but I don't dare to return it.

The others continue their conversation while I sit quietly. A few times Tori or Beck asks me something, but that's all.

I can't help but feel like an outsider everywhere I go. Maybe I should just cling to Kiandra after all, it's a safer way than chasing after a girl who will never like me.

Hesitantly, I stand up.

"I think I'll be going now, but thanks for letting me be here."

I glance around briefly, my gaze lingering on Jade for a moment. She just stares at me and I turn to leave.

"Y/N, wait, we're in the same class now. I'm coming with you."

Surprised, I turn around as Jade stands up and takes her bag.

I can't help but smile a little.

Quietly, we walk into the school building together.

"Wait, since when do we have the same class now? I've never seen you there before," I asked into the silence.

"Oh. Yeah I lied."

Confused, I looked at her and stopped.

"I don't understand. Then why didn't you just stay with your friends?"

"Tori and I aren't friends, Robbie I only tolerate because the others like him, and Cat is basically a pet. The only one who might be anything like a friend is Andre," Jade snorts, who has also stopped now and is looking at me.

I withstand her gaze. "But why are you coming with me? If you don't like those people, then I doubt you like me."

Jade turns around, probably to see if anyone is there.

When she doesn't see anyone, she turns back to me.

"I like you."

My heart beats faster as soon as she says there. Which I'm pretty sure she means more in a friendly way. But anyway, being liked by Jade is worth a lot. She pretty much doesn't like anyone.

I smile a little.

"I like you, too. Maybe we can be friends?"

She looks at me blankly.
