I decided I ought to reply to Jack about this 'meet up'

To: Jack

From: Vic (me)

Where? When?

Seconds later I had a reply

To: Vic (me)

From: Jack

Tommorow, library break time

I turned off my iPhone, and closed my eyes trying to sleep.

***************

My alarm rang out at 6am, as usual. I did my usual routine and then went down stairs to chat with Mom, we barely spoke over the last couple of days.

"Hey darling" she spoke brightly whilst cooking breakfast.

"Mmm what you making?" I retorted

"An omelette, I haven't made you one though. I didn't think you were keen?"

"No I'm not, I was just wondering"

"So how's your weekend been? I've barely seen you!" Mom laughed a little, I suppose she wasn't used to me being out allot, I wasn't used to this 'new me' either.

"Okay, I went on a date with Lou yesterday, he's really sweet" my stomach filled with butterflies, this was new, never had I got butterflies over Lou.

"Aw he seems like a nice enough boy anyway. What about that Jack? I thought you two had something going on?"

"Well, I don't know really" I snorted at the fact Mom said 'going on' in this attempt to be 'cool'

I left her in the kitchen as I packed some text books for school and watched a little morning tv before heading out too school. The weather seemed to be getting better, I mean it was nearly summer so I should expect it to be hot.

As I approached school, I began to wonder what Jack could want to meet up with me for. Maybe he wanted to say there's no feelings towards me and I'm some crazed girl? Maybe that we shouldn't speak anymore? Maybe he wants to say he's jealous and we should be together... No I'm crazy I am some crazed girl who sadly, is beginning to fall for the old bad boy player. I mentally cursed myself for being so naïve thinking he was a nice boy being there for me. No he wasn't. He was a player thinking he could get more out of me. Those chats on the beach and when he said he knew how I felt. I bet hundreds more girls heard this shit.

I couldn't concentrate during lessons as for some reason I began to worry and grow anxious about my meet up with Jack at break. When the bell sounded for end of lesson, I hurried to the library to meet him, I simply needed to know what he wanted or I couldn't settle. He was no where to be seen, anxiously I began pacing the library not knowing what to do with myself-

Ah crap

"Bumping into me again kid?" There was Jack, the person I just knocked into.

"Hmm" my heart began pounding like a drum "so, cut to the chase. What do you want?"

"I want to know what's going on really. You went on a date with Lou? I mean your a free girl but one of my best friends? I thought I kind of made it obvious..." His voice trailed off, he sexily ran his fingers through his hair, like he was trying to push thoughts away.

"Made what obvious?" I crashed back down to earth

"I mean, I thought we had a connection maybe I was reading into it too far I don't know we're not boyfriend girlfriend or anything I just, I don't know" I caught his eye, was he saying he felt something towards me?

"You were flirting with Sara. I assumed from there on we weren't anything. We weren't anything before so.. Lou asked me out, I said yes ok?" I tried playing it cool, I still believed he was a player. And I was just another game.

"Ok, so maybe I can ask you out on a date?" What the heck. I wasn't expecting this.

"Fine" was all I could manage to get out without sounding a fool

"Tonight, after school" he smiled and walked off. I loosened up as he walked away. My second date in two nights... Something new I guess. My thoughts cleared a little as I stopped worrying about what the chat was going to be about. Then, I though back to Lou, he made such an effort last night and I hadn't even as much as smiled in his direction today! I rushed out the library to the canteen hoping to catch him in there.

Of course there he was with Harry and the other lads.

"Lou!" I shouted him over, he got up quickly coming over to me. Damn, he looked quite hot today. Wait what was I thinking. S-t-o-p. your here to say you liked last night but your not more than friends..

"You look beautiful today" Lou smiled, I saw the cutest twinkle in his eye.

"Thanks, I had a great time last night" I started, planning to tell him we should just stick as friends, but a part of me couldn't. WHY VICTORIA ELLEN ARE YOU DOING THIS.

"Yeah we should do it again sometime?" I saw the sincerity in his eyes, how could I say no? I found myself caught up with two bad boys, one badder than the other, and me this good girl. I was out of my depth. Dating two boys at once?

"Yeah!" What had I just done really. My dad would be so angry up there right now.

I smiled, he gave me a quick hug and then walked back over too the boys. My chest hurt, my mind hurt, I hurt. Why why why had I done that? I mean I like Jack don't I.. Not Lou. Or did I?
