Starving For Affection (collab)

Chapter 2

WRITTEN BY XxPierceTheKellicXx

Jaime's POV
Exhaustion weighed my feet down as if they were covered in cement.
"Hey, Hime!" some kid yelled, flashing me a grin.
"Sup, bro?" I replied, nodding at him.

Honestly, I didn't know half of the people that talked to me. I didn't mind- they were all pretty cool. Sometimes, I wondered why everyone here liked me so much. You'd think the teachers would hate me, but no, they loved me just as much as the other students did.

"Hime Time! Qué pasa!?" my best friend, Vic, greeted me with a grin as he slapped my back.
I winced, but luckily, he didn't notice.
"Nothing, nada. What about you, sexy?" I asked, winking and laughing.
Vic smirked and wiggled his eyebrows at me, running a hand down his body with mock seduction. Why was I friends with this idiot, again?
"Hey!" my midget best friend cried, punching me on the arm lightly. Oops, I must've said that out loud.
"Ouch!" I yelped, rubbing my arm.
He punched a bruise.

"What, what? Did I do it that hard? I didn't mean to!" Vic cried worriedly.
"Dude, I'm fine. I was just messing with you. You really think your girly punches can hurt the amazing Hime Time? Think again," I scoffed before flashing him a teasing grin.

"Get to class, you delinquents!" Vic's boyfriend, Kellin, yelled, as he passed us in the hallway.
"Control your girlfriend," I said to Vic, making sure Kellin could hear me.

Kellin stopped in his tracks and turned on his heel, facing us.
"Ahem. What did I just hear? Surely... Surely I didn't hear Jay-me calling me a GIRL?"
"It's Jaime. HI. ME."

"Okay, ladies, break it up," Vic said, "there's enough of the Vicster to go around."
Kellin and I both looked at Vic weirdly. Shaking my head, I pushed Vic in Kellin's direction.
"This is yours," I laughed, before turning and heading in the direction of my first period class.

"No, wait! Take it with you!" Kellin cried.
"Hey!" I heard Vic mutter, "why am I with you, again?"
"Cause you love me, duh."
I chuckled as I moved out of hearing distance. Those two were perfect for each other. I hurried into my pre-calc class just before the bell rang, smiling at the teacher, Mrs. McDougall.

"Jaime? I need to see you in the hall for a moment," Mrs. McDougall said.
I nodded and turned back around, stepping back into the now empty hall. She joined me moments later.

"Jaime, you're failing this class. You know that if you fail, I'm going to have to call in your parents, right? If you don't bring up your grade within a week, I'm getting you a tutor."

My face fell the moment she mentioned my parents.
"Oh. Okay."
"Sorry, hun," she murmured.
" 'S okay."

With that, we both headed into class. The minute I sat down, people started talking to me and joking around. I fake-laughed and smiled so that they wouldn't feel bad. Just another average day, except for now I was trouble for failing pre-calc. Welcome to the life of Jaime Preciado.
