【••JAMESON••】

"James!" Nessa suddenly appears in front of me making me flinch.

"Geez. What the hell, Nessa?" I say pinching my forehead to decrease the headache I've been having since I woke up.

"Why are you not picking up my calls?"

Because I don't want to talk to you.

"I was busy." I say instead

"With who? Your loner girlfriend?"

My hand forms into a fist, I glare at her, "stop calling her that. That's not her name."

I'm sick of everyone calling Sophia a loner, she's not a fucking loner. She's a beautiful soul who keeps her feelings hidden.

"I'm going to call her what she is. A loner." Nessa says, firmly.

I take a deep breath. Her voice is making my headache get worst.

Without making a comment, I walk past her towards my class.

I need to see Sophia, maybe that'll help with the headache.

How will that help with the headache?

I don't know, it just will-

"Stop ignoring me!  What is wrong with you?" Great, Nessa is following me.

"I need to get to class, Nessa."

"That loner is making you ignore me, isn't she?"

"No, she's not. And stop calling her that."

I can feel her roll her eyes.

I see the entrance of Ms Tessa's class.

Few more steps-

Nessa blocks my way. I halt.

"What?" I ask.

"I miss you." Nessa's eyes soften.

I shrug, "I'm sorry?" My reply makes her eyes harden, "what am I suppose to say?"

"Say that you miss me too."

"What? No! I don't miss you."

That was harsh.

I don't give two shits, my head is killing me.

"You're lying to yourself."

What is she?

"I'm not lying to myself, Nessa." I squeeze my eyes shut, forming my hand into a fist, "can I please head to class?"

"Can we have lunch today?"

This girl-

I put my fist over my forehead, slightly hitting it.

"James, I asked you something-"

"He can't."

Oh, thank God.

I don't need to open my eyes to know who that is. I can recognize that voice and the scent of strawberries anywhere.

I make myself open my eyes to find Nessa's back facing me while she has turned towards Sophia.

"I wasn't talking to you." Nessa says, annoyed.

Sophia sighs, "yes but you weren't listening to Jameson so I had to step in. Leave him alone, Nessa."

"James doesn't need your help."

"I never said he did." I raise my eyebrow at her statement, "You're taking advantage of Jameson's kindness. He has tried multiple to tell you to leave him alone nicely but you can't seem to take a hint. You even started spreading rumors about you and Jameson and everyone believed you but do you know how it affected Jameson?"
