Chasing The Bad Girl

Chapter 12 : Jealousy

Tyrone's POV

Rich and I went shopping for about an hour, until we felt our legs very nearly collapse from under us. Once we found a set of benches, we decided that it was time to take a break for a while.  It worked out well, because I hadn't had the chance to talk to him properly yet, and I really wanted to get his opinion about the whole Eliana situation. I was hoping he could help me with this sort of situation.

"Hey Rich, can I talk to you about something, from one bro to another?" I asked him, hoping he wouldn't think I've turned into an absolute weirdo.

"Yeah of course man, what's up?" I could here the sincerity in his voice, well thank god for that.

"Its about Eliana, my roommate, I find her incredibly attractive, like, so attractive you wouldn't believe, but she doesn't really seem to have any interest in me, it's like she absolutely hates my guts, for no reason.  I heard her and a guy talking, then Eliana started shouting. So I barged in because I had a feeling something was wrong, then I saw Chad with his hands around her waist,  forcing a sloppy kiss on her. I couldn't help but feel so angry, which then I took it out on her, I don't know why, but I suddenly felt very angry towards her."

I could tell Richie was really listening to me, which made me feel a lot better  it didn't feel as if I was ranting to myself.  So I continued, "I got angry at Eliana, for making me jealous, I've never been like this before. Daisy used to flirt with other guys the whole time, and never once did I feel any bit jealous. Anyway, I apologized this morning and we seem to be okay now, also, she surprised me this morning after I apologized, she turned around and give me a quick hug then went straight back to sleep. We ended up spooning for the rest of the morning, I tried to get out as fast as I could in case she'd stab me to death," I finally finished, while running a hand through my hair, then back to the nape of my neck.

"Do you know what you need to do man?" I answered this with a simple "hmm".  If this is a stupid comment, after me opening up to him, I am going to be so pissed off.

"You need to bring a girl back, to see if you can sence any bit of jealousy in her eyes.  And if you can,  she obviously feels something for you, she may not feel much, but it will show that their is something definitely there, and if not, she either feels nothing or is extremely good at hiding jealousy, but their is no harm in trying."

"But man that's the thing, I don't want to bring other girls back, I just want her, seriously what the fuck is wrong with me?" I was getting worried about myself now,  usually I'd love bringing girls back. 

Richie left a loud laugh out, "their is nothing to worry about bro, their is absolutely nothing wrong with you, you just have the hots for her, real bad.  I'm telling you man, even bring a girl over as a friend, trust me. A lot of girls can get jealous over the slightest of things, it is the same as us guys, as you already know," He smirked at this, and as much as I hate to admit it, he had a very valid point.

"Do you know what Rich? You really are a good friend, thanks for the advice man, I appreciate it, now just put this plan into action," I said while the two of us stood up and made our way back to campus.

Eliana's POV

"Jab!" my coach said, I jabbed the pad as he said this. "Move Eli, or the opponent will easily corner you," I moved out of the way "One, two" I did this on the pads and moved to the side again.

Boxing is a huge passion of mine, it is my love and the one thing I care about more than anything in this world.  Its the one thing that keeps me going, and I know I'm good at it too. I've been doing it for 13 years now, I really do love every second of it. The feeling of adrenaline rush through me with every jab, hook and uppercut. The feeling of triumph when I land a perfect jab, and the feeling of success when I win most of my fights!  Boxing is my life.  No one in the college knows about it, it's not that it is a big secret. I'm known around the place for it, but just not in this college, and I would prefer to keep it that way.  I wouldn't like people watching me fight, especially Tyrone, what if he see's me and isn't attracted to me anymore, not that I care or anything, just saying.

Then I felt a pad hit me across the head,  "Ellie move for God's sake, you'll get killed if you keep this up," this made me snap out of my thinking,  I started back, doing what I do best, and following each command to a tee, "Jab!" "One, two!" "One, two right hook, roll, left, hook!" each and every one of these commands , I followed without a single flaw.

After 2 hours of skipping, pad work, sparring and exercises, I was wrecked, to say the least.  I was about to leave when my coach's called me back, I'm tired enough as it is.

"Eli, you know the fighting season is starting in 2 weeks, you need to be prepared," I knew they were worried, this was my first time ever doing something as big as this, but I was confident, and prepared.

"I know, I've been eating healthy, and also I'm up every morning for an hour jog and an hour in the gym," I said honestly to him. I knew I was keeping fit, they did not need to worry.

"Be ready to kick some ass Eli, we are counting on you to bring it home for us," I heard my coach say. I smiled at this and give a nod in agreement. I will most definitely bring it home, do not worry.

"I will be, and I always bring it home, no need to worry, I'll see ye again in two days, thanks," I gave a small wave and walked away, making my way back to campus slowly but surely.

After about an half an hour walk, I reached the campus finally.  I stopped off at the canteen to pick up a fruit salad along with a litre bottle of water.  I made my way back to my dorm, I was dying to have a shower,  I needed to get the sweat off my body as quick as possible. I put the key into the door, turned until I heard the clicking noise, which obviously meant I could open it. I walked in to see Tyrone and some girl sitting on MY couch talking, and Tyrone smiling into her face and her batting her spider-leg like lashes up at him, stupid bitch.

"Um, excuse me but, who the he are you?" I wasn't jealous, I just do not like strangers one bit, and this one seemed like a try hard.

"Ahm, Lily, I'm sor--"

"Alright Lily thanks , here's the story.  I want to have a shower, and I'd rather do that without you sitting on my couch, batting your eyelashes into my roommates face!" Okay.. I think the jealousy was beginning to be a bit more evident at this stage. Lily then began to make her way to the door. She was pretty, short black hair, big round eyes, a bit plump, but extremely pretty.  As for her name, what is with all the flower's in this place,  did I come to college, or to a fucking meadow. 

"Bye Lily, I'll talk to you later," Tyrone said while giving her an apologetic smile, why is he doing that. Bye Lily, I started imitating him in my head, stupid.  He closed the door and turned around, a huge smirk on his face, he opened his mouth to say something.

"Don't start," I said while walking away, feeling his smirk behind me.  What have I done? He now thinks I'm some psycho, who gets jealous if he even talks to a girl. Well only one word can sum up this entire situation, Shit.
