The Better Love|Jenna Ortega*

"Oh don't worry she'll be crawling back to me in no time," Aliyah giggles to her friends. "She always comes back."

"I'm not so sure this time, Al." One of them says seriously as the group of girls watch you walk down the hall. "Might be too far this time." Another agrees.

You and Aliyah have broken up and gotten back together many times by now. You've known her and her family for a long time now.

You still remember moving into this town when you were 10, seeing her for the first time. She made your heart skip a beat when you saw her. She was your first ever crush.

But you were too shy to talk to her, even tho you went to the same school up until now, 17 years old. She was a grade above you so all you got were glimpses in the hallway.

It was her final year, you couldn't bear the thought of not seeing her anymore after this year.

Two years ago everything changed, Aliyah asked you out, she wasn't the Ortega you wanted, but it was a chance to get closer to the unattainable one.

You agreed to go on a date with Aliyah and have been together on and off since. Aliyah was sweet and nice up until a year ago.

She changed when her popularity skyrocketed suddenly. She slowly became more bitchy and treating you like shit. Even her family took notice of the change.

You always took her back after a sweet gesture and a half assed apology, but this time, this time you wouldn't. Not after she cheated on you.

You didn't even care that much. You were over Aliyah a year ago but stayed around just so you could continue to get a glimpse of Jenna every so often even outside of school. The one you really wanted.

It's only been about 2 weeks since you broke up with Aliyah again, since you found out she cheated on you. It was unfortunate you had so many classes together as you had to see her all the time.

At least now Jenna knew who you were, though you weren't sure it was worth it. It only made your love for her grow stronger while she would hardly give you the time of day.

Jenna was always nice to you, in the off-chance that she spoke to you, but she often ignored your existence.

Your love was unrequited and you knew that. It was always going to hurt. At least that's what you thought. Jenna was older and wasn't interested in you.

"Okay I don't get it. Why hasn't she come back to me?" Aliyah says frustrated. "I told you she's not going to." One of her friends says sympathetically.

"It's been a month! It never takes this long." She says. "For fuck sake. I love her." Aliyah says angrily, angry at herself for pushing you away.

Her friends exchange a look. If they knew anything about you, it was that cheating was unforgivable.

"That's why we should go to that party, get your mind off her." Her friend suggests. "Oh my God! I'm sure she'll be there. I can make her jealous and she'll take me back." Aliyah exclaims.

Her friends groaned softly. That wasn't their intention. They just wanted her to stop expecting you to come back and to move on.

The party was in full swing by the time you arrived. It was mostly for seniors but some exceptions were made for juniors too.

You happened to be well known at the school and therefore had the privileges of attending these parties.

Jenna was one of the first people you saw when you got there and you instantly got butterflies in your stomach as she walked past you without sparing you a glance.
