Broken hearts

Chapter 17

I went straight to my locker. I had english first which was with sierra and she was mad. I looked around to hallway to search for Jayson so i could give him his jacket and just then Rayshawn appeared.

Hey taeya, how was your..... Hold on is that Jayson's jacket you have on?

Oh no, not another drama. I have to get out of this conversation. Uhmm, noo.... It's uhm, i mean..
Where you guys together the whole weekend because it's monday, how else did you get his jacket.

Rayshawn it's not Jayson's jacket. It's for someone else i just have to return it. I found it after the dance show on Friday and it looked familiar and i owe you no explanation even though it was Jayson's jacket so chill.

He raised his brows totally not buying my story. He looked kinda hurt, only that I don't know if he was hurt that i wore Jayson's jacket or hurt that i lied to him.

I'm just trying to protect you Shontaeya, don't fall for Jayson. You deserve better. Please. He then walked out.

         I got to english class,  Jayson was there smiling at me, Rayshawn was just seated with a blank expression Sierra didn't even look at me.

I handed Jayson his jacket as i took my seat.
"I hope you used it very wisely" he said raising his eye brows. I ignored it cos i really wasn't in the mood for his jokes. I tried to talk to Sierra but she ignored me more.

After class Jayson walked with me to my next class.
"Hey you don't seem cheerful this morning"

Yeah, my friends are mad at me cos they misunderstood the reason behind me being with your jacket.
He looked more interested in the conversation now. "And why do they think you were with my jacket?" He asked raising his right eyebrow. I looked at him and i guessed what he was thinking. "Oh no don't even go there you jerk, that would never happen, like NEVER!. I stressed on the NEVER.

You sure about that, he said giving me a side smile.
Not even in your dreams, you're far from my type. I said and walked away from him.

Oouch! He held his heart like it really hurt.

On my way to my last period for the day i saw a lot of students gathered at the media lobby. Like half of the school. They were all staring at me. I walked closer to see what they were looking at. They kept on staring at me and all of a sudden Rayshawn dragged me from the midst of the crowd.

You don't have to see that Taeya.
Why?, i just want to see thats all.
"No, you won't like it, I'm serious"
I looked at his face, then i knew it was about me. I ran back to the lobby. Then i saw it. It was a board filled up with photos of me and Jayson. It was that night we went out strolling. There was one that he hugged me, then one that he put his jacket on my shoulders, and so many others. I couldn't believe what was happening. I didn't know if to cry or scream. Everyone in school was getting the wrong impression. Who did this? They were all whispering and staring at me. All of a sudden i felt Sierra and Sally drag me out of the scene. We went outside. I needed some air.

Sierra and Sally i can explain, it's not what it looks like....

Shhhh, we know, just take your time, your in shock right now. Sierra said.
We can always talk about it, sally said coming towards me for a hug.

I had the best friends in the whole world. I didn't know when i started crying. I can't believe Jayson did this. Came to me acting all innocent. I should have listened to Rayshawn. Jayson never changed. He just wanted to do me more harm. I can't believe i fell for him. Oh lawd. I didn't want to go to last period which was Spanish. There were lots of people there that I didn't want to see right now. Sierra and sally stayed with me the whole of last period. We all went to my house after school. I had dozens of missed calls and messages from Jayson.

"Shontaeya what exactly happened this weekend? Sierra asked while we were all in my room.

Yeah i really owe you guys an explanation. First of all I'm sorry I didn't tell you Sierra, i was going to tell you tho. And I'm sorry for not getting back to you Sally.
So basically i told Sierra what happened, how Jayson found my number and texted me and asked me to hang out. I told them how it went and how he left his jacket.

So he planned it the whole time to create a scandal in school. Wow, i was starting to like him a little. Too bad. Sierra said.

I really don't think Jayson did this. Sally said while we all looked at her confusingly.
I don't know but I don't just feel there's more to what happened today. At Least hear what he has to say.

We heard the doorbell ring and we all went down, wondering who it was.
Sally got the door this time and it was Jayson.
Hi, i wanted to talk to Shontaeya. Sally stood staring at him fiercely for like 2 minutes, and Jayson tried to avoid her deadly stare but he couldn't.

I know i seem like a bad guy but i just want her to hear me out. Please.

I walked over to the door and told sally to go in that i could handle it.

So uhm, what do you want? Another hug, or you want to forget your jacket so you can post it everywhere in school?

No Taeya!, I didn't do it. You have to believe me. I had no idea all this happened till after school. I'm so sorry, i can imagine what you went through but i really didn't do it.

Like what did Jayson take me for. The more he kept on talking the more i was hurting. I looked at him with tears in my eyes, i was trying so much to hold them. It didn't just hurt that some stupid rumor was created by the jerk standing in front of me but it hurts because i let myself trust him even after all i went through.

"Jayson, I'm not going to say this again so listen good. This would be the last time you would come to my house. I don't know you, we never met, ok? So keep it that way. Goodbye!"

And gbam! I slammed the door in his face.
