Tutoring My Bully // J.G.

Chapter 38

JuJu's POV

Second hour finally ended after what felt like forever. I walked out of the classroom with Matt and Collin by my side.

"So, where are we sitting today?" I asked the both of them.

"We can sit by Gilinsky, Johnson and the guys, since Hannah went home sick." Collin suggested.

"Yeah, sure. Are you okay with that?" Matt asked, looking down at me waiting for a response.

"Yep. Sounds great." I said.

I already had my lunch, since I always bring my own lunch to school. Matt and Collin left to the lunch lines together and told me to sit next to Johnson and Sammy.

I was now sitting in between the both of them and we started chatting.

"So... Julia, uh... I know you probably won't say yes but, can you please give me another chance. I feel so left out by my best friends because I don't know you and you don't really want to know me. But, I'd really like it if we can start all over and try to become friends. If not, I get it, I can wait." Sammy said, with sorrow in his eyes. He looked so sad and I felt bad because I forgave everyone except him. I guess I should give him a chance, I'm giving Gilinsky a chance and he's done way worse than Sammy.

"Yes, I forgive you. I'd love to start all over." I said.

"Seriously?" He said with a shocked expression.

I laughed and nodded.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." He said, grabbing my head and giving me a bunch of kisses on the top of it.

"Hey, she's mine." Said Matt, who was walking to our table. He made Sammy move over a chair and sat next to me, holding my hand. "Don't touch my girl." He said sternly.

I smiled and kissed the top of his hand. "Matt, calm down. It was just a friendly gesture. I just forgave him for everything he's done, so, he was just happy. It won't happen again, okay?" I said, smiling throughout the whole sentence because I thought it was cute when he got jealous.

"Okay." He said, giving me a small kiss on the forehead.

After that, we all started eating our lunches, while making small talk. I was wondering where Jack G was at, until I saw him walk in with a beautiful blonde.

That must be her.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy when I saw them together. Do I like Jack?

NO. I can't. I'm dating Matt. I don't like Jack. I can't like Jack.

But, I couldn't get my eyes off of them. He turned his head in my direction and caught me staring. I quickly turned my head away and started to eat my lunch again. When I looked back up, they were holding hands in the lunch line.

I had to look away because I just couldn't take it.

I looked at Matt and saw him laughing at something funny that Johnson said. I smiled at my amazing boyfriend, but, what about what I was feeling for Jack?

Do I like him? Or do I like Matt?

I don't know this is all so confusing and complicated.

I guess I'll just figure it out somehow, sooner or later.

Most likely, later.

Jack Gilinsky's POV

I shouldn't have lied to JuJu when I told her that I was dating Alison, but, I just couldn't help myself. I got so jealous and I wanted to make her jealous too.

I wonder if it worked.

I was walking out of second hour when a blonde walked in front of me. I looked down at her and realized it was that new girl Alison.

"Hey. Umm.. I don't really know anyone right now and I was wondering if you could show me where the lunch is?" She asked, all innocent and nicely.

"Uh.. yeah. Sure. Just follow me, I have to put my stuff in my locker." I said. We then, walked towards my locker and I put my stuff away.

"Okay. Done. Do you need to go get anything from your locker?' I asked trying to be nice, even though I really wanted some food and was really hungry.

"Yeah, if you could wait for me that'd be great, but it's fine if you need to get to class, I can try to find the cafeteria myself." She said, nicely. Wow, she's really polite and really nice. Maybe even a little too nice.

"It's fine, I have lunch this hour too anyways. I'll just wait for you at your locker." I said.

"Okay, thanks." She said, smiling and turning around, walking towards the hallway that her locker is located.

I walked behind her and followed her to her locker. She put her backpack and books away and then we headed to the cafeteria.

We walked into the cafeteria and I looked around trying to find the guys. When I turned my head to the right I saw my table and JuJu was there, staring right at me. She looked away when she saw that I noticed. Maybe this is the time to try to make her jealous.

"Uh.. Come on," I said, grabbing Alison's hand and walking to the line, "This is the best lunch line and the cheapest." I said, while forgetting that I was still holding her hand. I let go and looked back at my table to see if JuJu saw my actions, but, she was just making googly eyes at her perfect boyfriend. I got a little mad and rolled my eyes, turning away from them with my jaw clenched. My thoughts were interrupted by a voice talking to me.

"Thank you for helping me find my way here. I'm really excited for the party." She said, shyly.

"Yeah, me too." I said lying, hoping she didn't see through it, and luckily, she didn't.

We got our lunches and sat down at our table. I sat straight across from JuJu and Alison sat right next to me across from Matt. Collin sat next to me and JD, the linebacker on our schools football team sat next to Collin with a bunch of his friends, who I don't really know the names of.

"Hey guys, this is Alison. She's new at our school." I said, introducing her.

They all greeted her with a nice gesture and some of the football players tried to flirt with her, but she didn't seem to notice.

"It's nice to meet all of you." She said, kindly, then, beginning to chew her fruit salad that she bought.

JuJu politely greeted Alison, then remained quiet the rest of the time. She looks so sad. Is she okay? Did Sam say something to her?

Or...

Is she jealous?

No. She can't be. I'm just being delusional, she'd never like me. I should be a good friend and ask her if shes alright.

"Juju, are you okay? You havent been talking this whole time."

"Yeah. I'm fine. Just... Worried about Hannah." She said, explaining herself.

Now I know its not because of me and I was honestly hoping that she would be jealous but, now I know she'll never think of me as anything other than a friend.

Lunch was over and I started walking to 3rd hour.

The whole class was so boring. We never do anything and no one in the class is fun to be around.

30 minutes into the class, I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket. I got a message from Collin.

"I think JuJu likes you."

.....

Cliffhanger! I wont be posting this whole week because I have finals!
