It's A Black Line Not A Slack Line

CHAPTER #4

[Jesse's POV]

I was on my way to English, I had just closed my locker to be more precise, when I saw a girl storming down the hallway. Long, dark hair, little eyes, Mia Wellington. Didn't need that right now, to be honest. 

"Well, well, well look who has finally made it to school today." She fake smiled at me and I rolled my eyes.

"What do you want? I told you I don't get the pills until Friday." I was already walking, walking fast so she had trouble keeping up with me, but she ignored my comment. 

"Heard you had a good morning? Heard you slept with that young chick." 

"Shh!" I said angrily and stopped walking to face her. "She is half a year younger than me, for god's sake. And also, how would you know that?" 

Mia's smile just widened. "Your "Princess" was talking to her friend in the library. They almost pissed themselves for laughing at you." 

I tried not to show her a reaction and just scoffed and walked away. Luckily, she didn't follow me this time. But this concerned me, I mean, Alexis had said that she loved me so often and we had smiled at each other, she had groaned and everything. But what if Mia didn't make the story up? I kept thinking about it throughout English, which I actually enjoyed as a subject, but I was occupied with other thoughts now. Was I not good enough because I couldn't imagine my girl to be mean to me or anybody in general. But still, but still.

It had become kind of a tradition for us to meet before she had volleyball practice on Wednesdays so I went to see her again, a lit cigarette in my mouth. Her hair wasn't blue anymore, which was okay to me because maybe that meant that she wasn't feeling blue anymore – hopefully. Nonetheless, I could make her out easily and lingered towards her and the group of girls, when I saw who she was talking with. 

Almost cringing, when I heard Sasha's voice and the tone he was speaking in. Not because it was angry but because it sounded so nice and weak and miserable. And I know I shouldn't cling onto things so much but I still remember that he had kissed Alexis just a few hours before I did and we finally got together officially and I was still pissed about it. I was pissed about him. I was pissed about that they spoke right now, so I shook myself and walked next to my girlfriend, interrupting their conversation. She had sex with me this morning, he was not even her friend anymore, I guess it was more than ok to do something like this. 

"What's poppin', Bae?" I laughed and kissed the top of her head quickly and put my hand on her hip. 

"Hi boy, just talking to Sasha." She smiled and when she said boy bit her lip and looked at me in a way that I knew she wouldn't laugh with her friends about me. She might like to have a few more mornings like this if I'm not mistaken. 

I turned around and tried to sound like I was surprised. "Oh? Sasha, hi there. What are you talking 'bout?" He flashed me a fake smile and then fully turned to the girl again, but my hand was still around her. 

"We're in this group project in Geography together and are planning on when we should meet." Alex explained and then the other boy suggested Saturday. "Uh, sorry I can't. His band is playing." She said and I smirked at her. 

The song I wrote for her was just finished and I couldn't wait to see her reaction. The two chit-chatted a bit more while I smoked my cigarette before Sasha finally walked off. 

"Didn't know you two had this project together." I kind of asked when she was facing me. 

"Yeah, it's awful. Trust me, I didn't choose him nor Lucy, but that's how it is." I didn't answer and nodded, so she put both her hands around me and pouted. "Hey, Baby. What's wrong?"
