JAKES POV - (Filler Chapter 😭🙏)We were sitting in our dorms, I was drawing and Devon was reading.
Jake : What time you leaving?
I said trying to sound like I didn't care.
Devon : Ellie wants me there by 4:30.
I scribbled slightly faster.
Devon : What about you?
Jake : You'll probably be asleep. Oh and don't worry... I'll make sure not to close the window all the way this time.
A silence befell the room once again until it was broken by a sigh from the boy next to me.
Devon : Well... I better go.
Jake : Bye.
He left.
Part of me was hoping that he didn't leave. I don't know what he's doing, what he's gonna do and it's so infuriating.
~~~
Devon got back from Ellie's at 7:02 P.M.
I couldn't tell if the hickeys on his neck were from me or Ellie.
Jake : Have fun?
I said not taking my eyes off my diary.
Devon : Lots of fun.
Jake : Cool.
Devon : What about you?
Jake : Same.
Devon : Cool.
Cool.
I don't care. I don't care about him. I don't care about what he does. I just don't care.
After a few exasperated sighs Devon finally speaks up.
Devon : Whatcha writing about?
Jake : How bad you are at kissing. Honestly feel bad for Ellie.
I could almost hear his eyes roll without looking at him.
Jake : Whatcha reading?
Devon : A tutorial on how to kiss someone, thought I'd read your Christmas present before giving it to you.
Jake : Didn't realise we were getting each other gifts. All I got you was a fuck to give.
Our voices were so monotone despite the aggressive subtext.
Devon : Ellie's a better kisser than you, maybe you could get some tips from her.
Jake : And maybe you can get tips from a donkey on how to not act like an ass.
Devon : You don't have an ass.
Jake : Only thing flat about you is your stomach.
NO SHOT I JUST MADE AN ANOREXIC JOKE ABOUT AN ANOREXIC BOY!
Devon : How can you be a fag and a slag? Slaggot?
Jake : How can you be boring and basic? Bitch?
Devon : Least I had a mom to raise me.
He whispered.
Jake : Least I had a dad to toughen me up.
Devon : Least I have people who actually care about me.
I'm bored of this. I didn't respond. Devon seemed content enough with that being the end of the conversation.
