A Toxic Love

Chapter 10 - A bit more than friends

It was day two of knowing and being friends with Jake Boston and i was wondering what was going to happen today. As per usual i had very few lessons, in fact all of my lessons that day had been cancelled except my fourth period which was only a study period. I met up with Katie that morning and we immediately started talking about Oreo.
"So do you think he's going to ask you out? Or are you going to ask him out?" asked Katie.
"I don't know. He's a nice friend though and who knows it might just stay that way. I'm not going to ask someone out who i don't even know if i love," i said.
"Remind me again what happened with Nicholas the one who you said you LOVE," laughed Katie.
"Oh shut up, i was delusional," i laughed.
"Lies," she responded. we laughed about it on the way to school and eventually parted ways to our classes.

after registration i went to classroom M13 and found Louise Sara and Jake. they saw me and waved. i waved back and made my way towards them. 

"Hey! sit down because the lesson is going to start soon and pretend like you're doing work," said Louise pushing me into the seat next to her. 

"Wait, what? you have a lesson? i won't be allowed to be here then," i said.

"No you will, he always lets Sara in," said Louise.

"Oh alright then," i said as i logged onto the computer and pretended to do research for Photography.

just then a teacher walked in. he was dressed like Matt Smith in Doctor Who and had a similar hairstyle to be honest. he stared at me as he realized i didn't belong in that class.

"Sir, can i stay in here and do some work," i said quickly to the teacher.

"Yes that's fine as long as you're doing work," said the teacher.

the lesson soon began and the majority of the guys in the class were staring at me, including Jake. i just got on with my work and pretended to actually be doing something. 

soon though somebody knocked on the door which made Mr Hall teacher leave temporarily. He was a tall skinny teacher with an Irish accent. He had chestnut brown hair and always wore a bow tie, but over all he was a nice teacher.

Hall leaving the room  was good, as it gave me the opportunity to annoy Louise. i tried to analyse her screen which made me come to the conclusion of:

"What you doing?" 

"I'm designing a website, about books," said Louise. i then looked at Louise's website and then Jake's.

"Then why is Jake's website better than yours?" i said with a grin. Jake laughed wheres Louise turned and looked at me with a death stare.

"Yeah, but our websites are about books and i actually read whereas Jake has probably never read anything in his life," said Louise.

"Don't be mean Louise," I said as i looked at Jake who was sitting on the other side of Louise. he smiled as he looked at me and i did the same and we both didn't really stop. just then Mr Hall walked back in and Louise yelled 

"Would you two stop flirting with each other and let me do my work?!" we then stopped and pretended like nothing happened except we were still smiling to ourselves.

the day went on and i was still with Jake. we hung out until it hit fourth period when i realised i had a study period to attend.

"No just stay with us, you can tell the teacher you're doing work in here," said Jake. he was basically telling me to ditch class and hang with him. i felt like such a rebel.

so as the new rebellious girl i was i stayed with my friends and we laughed and joked all day. however, i did feel bad that i wasn't spending as much time with my other friends who i do care so much about. but it was probably just a one off thing to get to know new people. no big deal.

"Are you staying after school Anita?" asked Nayab.

"Yeah i'm staying until five, i need to wait for Katie because she has Geography revision,"

"Whoa, you're waiting that long just for your friend?" said Jake sounding a little shocked. 

"Yes of course, i'd do that for any of my friends," i said. 

"Wow, you're a good friend Anita," 

"Aww thanks, you are too," he smiled in response. at least i knew Jake would be a good and trustworthy friend if anything.

the day went by until the next one arose and the same process was repeated. i came to school with Katie and Aaron, i then went to my few classes and spent my frees with Jake. it was going on for three days now and i hadn't even told Imy yet. Obviously she knew about Jake, but as best friends you need to tell each other everything. so that Friday night i told her everything.

"I think he likes you, mate," said Imy.

"I don't think so, I mean, it's not like that, we're just friends and i doubt it would escalate to be honest. but Louise was telling me he's never done what he's done to me to anyone else," just then i got a notification. i stopped everything. "Oh, My, God,"

"What happened?" said Imy.

"Jake or Oreo just followed me on Instagram," i said.

"I bet he's stalking your profile, because you look like Mia Khalifa," laughed Imy.

"Yeah probably but he's really nice and a good friend,"

"Yeah but don't follow him back now do it in an hour,"

"No that's a dick move, i'll do it now, and he already followed me  thirteen minutes ago," i said.

"yeah true, well, my mum's calling me down for tea so i'll talk to you later and let me know how you and your boyfriend get on," she laughed.

"I told you it's not like that but yeah i'll talk to you later,"

once i closed the phone and followed Jake back. within minutes he sent me a direct message. i opened it and he asked if i had Snapchat. and as a friend i told him my username and of course we added each other and began talking on there. we were having a nice little conversation, right up until he said "Do you want to see something interesting" which at the time i thought it just meant an interesting thing until i realized it was probably one of the most dangerous things on the internet. Nudes. but it was too late as i already said okay. 

i was waiting for what i thought i was going to get and i was correct as i predicted. it was a dick pic. and as he sent me a nude, you can only reply to a nude with another one. and that simple Friday night turned into something so shameful and potentially regretful. now all that i was waiting for was his reaction on Monday, because i did not even know how to react to this. all i knew was that i was so fucked.
