yeah. we have a big problem now. after last night zariah went on live after what happened and told the internet that jules's boy chino threw her into the street and nearly got her killed and hit by a car. now it's all over the media and they're tagging jules chino bella me my family and everybody now knows that it was at darian's gender reveal. i really genuinely just wanted it to be a good day. and now everyone keeps telling me 'wherever jules goes bad luck follows' she's not bad luck she's just bad at her decisions.
she's not even like that anymore she just got upset and her actions weren't smart last night and it wasn't her fault chino threw zari into the street that was chino. but zari should've known better she should know how her family rolls and what they do when shit like that goes down. chino was just protecting her. it's what victor would've wanted. nobody's bashing jules or chino. they just won't stop talking about it and calling it the 'hot topic of the season'.
my friend's talked to me about it and i told them what happened. now the whole school is talking about it and bothering me so fucking bad i might fight somebody today no joke. i'm on the bench outside the cafeteria they wanted to eat inside today because it's raining a little bit outside. but i was in there and everybody won't shut up about yesterday so i'm alone with eddie right now.
jules is in cheer. i texted her i'm outside the cafeteria though she wants to talk to me about yesterday.
"zariah is fine she shouldn't be saying anything like that for the media to know" eddie says
i face palm, "i just wish jules wouldn't have jumped into their argument last night" i say
"who's? who was arguing?" eddie asks me
"bella and zari were arguing last night at the event and then jules heard and ran out there to protect bella and of course that got her mad because bella was crying she wanted to fight zari because of that" i say
"ohhhhh" eddie says
"the bad thing is she just made a good impression to my parents last night just for that to happen right after when we were just going good" i say
eddie chuckles, "did yo mom make that one face she be making when she disappointed?" he asks
i side eye him and he laughs, "yes and i'm disappointed myself.. i literally told her not to fight and she hit her with the 1 2 which is really impressive but still" i say
he smiles, "she been practicing that she been hitting me with it when she's mad" he says
i saw her come out the gym and come over to me in her uniform. she sat on the other side of me.
"i'm so sorry" jules says
i stay quiet, "i was being selfish i shouldn't have let my anger get that far" jules adds on.
i look at the floor, "jayde talk to meee" she whines
she grabs my face to make me look at her, "i'm so sorry jayde" she says softly
she looks really sorry, "don't ever do that again." i say softly
she pulls me into a hug and i hug her back, "don't be mad at me i said i'm sorryyy" she whines
i heard her sniffling, "you should've saw the look on my moms face jules.. she looked so disappointed but not shocked by what happened last night she lectured ME for it" i say
i break the hug and she's struggling to look at me because she's crying, "it was chinos fault" she cries
"but you hit her when i told you not to!" i say loudly.
