Rules Of Jealousy

Step Two: Meet his family

"You did what!,"yelled Zoe.

"Look it wasn't my fault it's our senior year, I can't just mess up my grades for the school bad boy,"I reasoned.

Zoe just shook her head,"This will ruin everything".

"But-,"

"No buts, listen this is what your gonna do"she interrupted whispering her plan into my ear.

It was lunch time and the canteen was buzzing with people. I spotted Samuel sitting on a bench on his own, as per usual.

That's the one thing I didn't get about Samuel. He had the potential to be popular; he had the looks, the money, he was in a good enough shape to be on the football team, he even got straight A's when he tried but yet he kept himself to himself.

As I approached, I took a deep breath and tried to relax.

"Hey Samuel" I said trying to start a friendly conversation. But he didn't even look up.

"What do you want, Jessica," he spat.

"It's Jess actually but-"

"I'll call you what I want" he growled.

"Okayyyy... Well I just came to apologize for what happened in class today," I muttered.

"Whatever,"

I don't really know what I expected to happen but I know this wasn't it.

I was just about to speak again when he muttered,"Go Away".

"Well you see I was sort of thinking-" I started.

"Just go"

"We could arrange a study date" I carried on.

As soon as the word date slipped out I regretted my choice of words instantly. Samuel must have been taken back as well as he looked up this time. His glassy green eyes full of unknown emotions.

"Ermm, by date I didn't mean date date... I... I just meant... What I meant was..." I struggled to find the right words.

His eyes hardened again.

"If I agree to this 'study date' will you leave me alone" he sighed.

"Erm... Yeah... Yes of course"I stuttered.

"Ok then," he smirked wickedly.

"What," I choked, was Samuel, the school bad boy agreeing on a sort of date with me.

"I said ok,"he repeated.

"But only on my conditions".

"Okay" I breathed, instantly feeling sick.

"You owe me now", he began.

Owe him what?

"And as for the 'study date' we'll do it tonight at 6 o'clock. Don't be late," he finished putting his hand out for a handshake. Only when I went to shake it he moved it away.

He chuckled and went back to whatever he was doing.

When I stood up to leave I noticed the whole canteen was quiet, staring at me. I began walking towards a beaming Zoe and the noise returned. I heard a few people whispering "Who's she?" and "Is she screwing Samuel? ".

Before I could reach Zoe, a group of cheerleaders step in front of me blocking my way.

It was Cassy and her slut posey.
