THE BOY IS MINE

Part 35: LIFE MOVES ON.

••A FEW DAYS LATER ••

Jordan keeps silent watching Lowell and Bella smooching each other right across him and he huffs staying glued on his phone instead.

Jordan: This is starting to bore me, is there anything else that you could do besides kissing each other?... You are so loud.
Bella: Then close your ears.
He glares at her.
Jordan: I really don't like you you know that?, your presence just unsettles me let alone listening to your loud kisses. Tone it down a bit please it is getting gross.
Bella: You need to get laid.
Bella and Lowell laugh at that and Jordan fakes a chuckle as he continues to focus on his phone.

Just then Anastasia walks inside the class and she smiles spotting Jordan at the back, but she catches Lowell's attention first.

Anastasia: Hey...
Jordan: Ana hey.. what are you doing here?
She shrugs and then smiles down at him.
Anastasia: I came to steal you for a moment. Do you mind?
Lowell sits up straight and glares at her.
Lowell: The nerve for you to show up here after everything that you and your friends did to us.
Bella: Oh it's one of those....tramps from the video huh?

Anastasia huffs offended and attempts to walk away but Jordan holds her hand.
Jordan: Cut it out she is not a tramp and she is definitely not here for you. You two repulse me so much why don't you just mind your own business?
Come on Ana let's go talk outside.

Lowell frowns watching Jordan's hand that is still locked with Anastasia's hand as they walk out of the class.
He huffs trying to brush it off but he just can't.
Is Jordan dating Anastasia now?, What's with them or are they friends?
He huffs shifting his whole focus to where they are standing.
Bella: Lowell, do you mind?
She turns him to face her but he just can't stop stealing glances at them, he doesn't understand why it bothers him so much but it really does.

Jordan: I see that your father didn't manage to kill you, you look so much alive and most of all better than before.
Anastasia: I am a walking ghost and I only haunt those that were good to me.

They both laugh at that and Anastasia nudges him.

Anastasia: Seriously though Jordan you have been nothing but good to me despite of everything that has happened to us, and for that thank you.
Jordan: We were all victims Ana, so please stop blaming yourself over it. Yes it was your party but you never caused that tape to be recorded and leaked. So it's okay.
Anastasia: Thank you Jordan, I came here to thank you for that.
Jordan: You didn't have to but thanks anyway for saving me from that disturbing scene as well.
They both chuckle at that.
Anastasia: Let's go get some drinks at the cafeteria if they bother you so much then.
Jordan: Sure I would love that.
He smiles at her and she smiles back at him as they walk away.

Lowell bites his lower lip in anger from what he is seeing through the window.
Bella: Baby why are you so mad?
Lowell: I hate that girl...I can't believe that Jordan is falling for her lies.
Bella: So what? It shouldn't concern you. You and Jordan are no longer friends remember?
Bella: What's with you two anyways?, He hates your girlfriend and you hate his why?
Lowell huffs getting her off him.
Lowell: Maybe you should go back to your class, I don't feel well now.
Bella: Lowell....
Lowell: I will be fine don't worry, I will see you later okay?
Bella sighs and then nods.
Bella: Fine, later it is then.

She walks away and he scoffs staying behind in his desk and looks over Jordan's side.

Lowell: Man I miss our old vibes, what has become of us huh?

••

Jordan slowly walks through the basketball court's entrance, he watches down at the other players as they play and he gets fed up already. Because when last did he play basketball.
He is intentionally late for practice and also because he has no desire to be around Lowell and play with him on the same court.

He slowly walks down the stairs with his eyes navigating among the players looking for a specific player.
His eyes eventually spot Lowell as he is playing, topless and sweating not to mention controlling everyone in the court.
Jordan huffs looking away from him, how more annoyed can he be just by the sight of him?

The cheering girls from the other side catch Jordan's attention but only one of them stands out as she is just standing there watching everyone else seemingly bored.
Jordan waves at her and she waves back smiling widely.
Such an innocent and a cute face.
Too bad that she was involved with the likes of Angela.

Jordan faintly smiles at her and she excuses herself from the others approaching him for a proper greeting after all Jordan seems like he would like that too.

Anastasia: Hey what brings you here? Are you here to watch the practice game?
Jordan: I am supposed to be playing too but I am late... Not that I am complaining though. And you? Are you cheering as well?
Anastasia: No I am a mascot, it's one of the punishments that my parents gave me. To participate in the most embarrassing activity in school ever.
They both chuckle at that.
Jordan: I'm sure it's not that bad...I mean unlike me you don't have to play in the same court with someone that you hate so much.
Anastasia: Ow speaking of which, I noticed that you and Lowell don't get along anymore did something happen between you two?
Jordan: Yeah something did happen, but it's nothing that you should be worried about.
Anastasia: Trust me I'm not, especially when it involves Lowell who hates my guts.
Jordan: Oh believe me Lowell hates everyone. And besides he knows very well that it's not your fault that our tape hit the socials. Don't mind him.
Anastasia nods and then turns to smile at him.
Anastasia: But truth be told though that was a great experience though, I mean I have never had sex like that before.
Jordan: Tell me about it, it was really something else.
They laugh at that catching everyone's attention including Lowell's attention from the court and he could not believe his eyes.
Jordan is standing there exchanging smiles and chuckles with that damn girl instead of preparing for practice?...

He huffs focusing back on playing brushing them off. He could care less about what Jordan does with his girlfriend right now.
But yet he just can't stop stealing glances at them, he could see the spark between them, Anastasia can't stop smiling so warmly at him blushing and he just entertains her nudging her arm nonstop and also smiling down at her like a retard.

Lowell huffs walking out of the court and none of the players dares to question him.
The coach is not around as well so he will do what he wants, which is going to where Jordan and Anastasia are standing to separate them.
Jordan sighs seeing him approaching them and rolls his eyes.

Jordan: Oh here he comes.
Lowell reaches them and huffs glaring at Jordan.
Lowell: Hans shouldn't you be in the court by now for your first practice?
Jordan: I was actually waiting for the half time.
Lowell: Couldn't you go change so long and do warm ups until it's time for you to play?
Jordan: No I couldn't, I wanted to say Hi to Ana first.
Lowell: And did you say Hi to her?
Jordan: I was about to but then you came along and disturbed us.
Lowell: Say Hi then and go change for practice right now.
Jordan: Don't tell me what to do Lowell, don't be on my case please.

Lowell glares at him and Jordan glares back.
Anastasia huffs holding Jordan's arm to calm down.
Anastasia: Hey guys this is not the place to do this, please calm down will you?
Lowell: You stay out of this Missy.
Jordan: Don't talk to Ana like that, yes you can bullshit on me because you don't respect me but don't you dare bullshit on her, do I make myself clear?
Lowell: Oh look at yourself tough guy, you are defending your little girlfriend now huh?
Jordan: And wouldn't you do the same for your girlfriend Bella?

It goes silent and Lowell chuckles evidently furious but Jordan could care less.

Lowell: You know what, forget about being on my team.... Screw you Hans!
Jordan: Screw you too Lowell and I never wanted to be on your team to begin with!

Lowell scoffs marching off and Anastasia holds Jordan back as she could see the hurt and anger in his eyes.

Anastasia: I think you should go.
He nods brushing his forehead to calm down and then sighs looking back at her.
Jordan: I'm sorry that you had to be part of that.
Anastasia: No it's okay, go now.
He hugs her and then turns to walk away.
She huffs shaking her head as she walks back to being a mascot.

Anastasia: It's just two proud guys that would hate to lose their friendship but yet hurt each other anyways. One would swear that they are two people in denial of their feelings for each other with the way that they are carrying on...morons.
