Myopic - Short-sighted or having a limited perspective.

DEVON'S POV

I sat there, an hour had passed since I got that phone call, my phone had been blowing up but the idea of checking it made me feel nauseous.

I feel so fucking stupid for thinking for even a split second that Jake possibly felt the same way I do.

I've allowed myself to get this deep into my obsession with Jake Wheeler, truth is it's always felt one-sided. Every flirty comment had a double meaning, so that he could always say that we never had anything. He's never the one to make the first move.

Maybe I'm just overreacting, but he lied pointblank to my face.

I checked my phone, seeing about 30 notifications from Jake, yet 2 from Lexy? I opened Lexy's chat.

Lexy : Look, I'm sorry to be the one telling you this, but Jake slept with Cameron last night.

Lexy : I'm sorry to be the one telling you but it's clear Jake had no intention to.

So he only told me because Lexy was going to tell me? Would he have really never told me otherwise?

~~~

I woke up the next morning, knowing today would be boring as I have school... again. Summer's finally done and now I go back to school, without Jake unfortunately but it's his fault.

I got ready, not bothering to make breakfast. I got changed and headed out to wait for the bus. Jake was going to be on this bus, but Lexy wasn't. Just great.

The bus finally arrived and I stepped on, taking out my earphones and looking for somewhere to sit. As luck would have it, the only available seat was next to Jake, who still hadn't realised I was here.

I begrudgingly sat down next to him. He gave me the biggest side eye known to man before opening his mouth.

Jake : really?

Devon : Fuck off.

Jake : Why sit here then?

Devon : There were no other seats.

Jake : whatever.

Devon : What? Do you not believe me or something?

Jake : No just shut up.

Devon : You telling me to shut up when I've got messages on my phone of you begging me to forgive you.

Jake went red in the face.

Jake : and now I realised I don't care.

Devon : Yeah yeah.

Jake : Fuck off.

I rolled my eyes and Jake opened his knees until our thighs were touching. It didn't seem intentional but he definitely noticed as I felt his leg tighten and go stiff, not moving it.

We didn't move a muscle, not the whole way to school, we sat there like that.

It was finally time to get off the bus, and so we did, very awkwardly. I met up with Lexy and suddenly Jake was no where to be seen, thank the lord.

Devon : Already off to a bad start.

Lexy : Really?

Devon : oh yeah. I had to sit next to him on the bus.

Lexy : Damnnn, he say anything?

Devon : Nah not really.

Lexy : I can't believe the nerve of that boy y'know.

Next thing you know I'm sat in Chemistry zoned-out looking at Jake until he notices my staring and just holds eye-contact.

I rolled my eyes and gave my attention back to the teacher, and so did Jake after a few more lingering stares.

And then I found myself staring at him again.

He gave me this confident yet cute look, looking me up and down slowly before his gaze led to my eyes and then to my lips. The gleam of lust, matching the invisible sexual tension that came with it.

He was quite literally giving me the "fuck me" eyes. I wonder how many boys he's used that on... but it's working?!

He saw me staring at him and turned back to the front of the class, with a smirk.

~~~

After class I walked up to Jake and told him to follow me. We walked out into the corridor.

Jake : where are you taking me?!

I opened the Janitors closet, grabbing Jake and pulling him in there before leaning against the door, making sure nobody came in.

Jake : Devon, what the fuck do you want?

Devon : How are you speaking to me like that, after what you did?

Jake : One, we aren't together. Two, it was before I realised that you liked me. Three, I was very drunk and high.

Devon : What so you're telling me that we were nothing?

Jake : Pretty much.

oh...

Devon : So all the flirtatious comments, all the looks, all those times we spent laughing until it hurt?

Jake : Nothing.

Devon : And what about that little look in class?

Jake : don't know what you're talking about.

I stepped closer to him.

Devon : I think you do.

He went silent, and suddenly his eyes had that same cute look from earlier.

I took another step closer.

Devon : Even now, your eyes are begging for me to fuck you.

Jake stared for a moment, for a change it was him being star-struck.

He cupped my cheeks and pulled our lips together.

I back him up against the wall, lifting him as he wrapped his legs around me.

I kissed his neck.

Jake : really couldn't go 24 hours without me, huh?

He laughed to himself.

Devon : shut the fuck up.

He placed his hand up my shirt, almost like he was about to take it off when the door banged.

Me and Jake exchanged wide glares, him still being wrapped around me.

He pushed me off of him and made even more noise like an idiot.

There were footsteps that trailed away into a deafening nothingness.

Jake : so...

Devon : Catch ya' later.

I winked at him before leaving the closet and calling Lexy.

Lexy : Hello?

Devon : Heya! Where are you?

Lexy : Turn around.

I turned around and looked around for her until I spotted her light glistening hair.
