I'm Coming Home

Chapter 22:Weak Inside

(Oma's POV)

Already a week in that I entered school. I'm having such a hard time, and not to mention I haven't hanged out with Jayden in a while. My heart started to ache just by thinking about it. I didn't want her to leave by my side. I was shaking, scared by the feeling of us growing apart. I look over at Jayden, doing her Math work. She sits across from me and she grew apart just by that distance. She never bothered to ask to go to my house to just hang out, mostly for class work. And if I were to ask her to go to her house, she would usually cancel at the last minute because something pop up. She would hang out with me but, leave me for others.

She straight out confuses me . . .

~~~~~~

"Hey Oma, I was wondering if you could help me with my Math homework? You don't mind do you?" A girl in my class that I didn't know she ever existed asked.

I nod and scoot over to have space. She smiles and takes out sheets of paper that we have to finished until next Monday. Already homework within the first week. How convenient of that.

"Sorry, my names Melissa by the way." She laughs nervously and rustles through her binder.

"It's fine, and it's May." I claim.

"Right . . ." She stares blankly and looks back on her papers.

I tilt my head to the way she said it. She was cute, but I wasn't interested if she was trying to pull something.

"Here." She says as she takes out the math homework.

I sigh and guide her through it. Confused myself, I tried my best to get around it and worked my way through it. The homework wasn't as complex as I thought it would have been. But could have been better.

Looking over my shoulder I get a glance at Jayden. She looks away quickly and ignores me.

What's her problem?

I look back at Melissa who smiled at me. I blush for some reason and look away. She laughs and finishes her homework. Wondering myself if I like her or not, or someone else.

"Hey . . . are you dating someone?" She asked tilting her head to the side.

I shake my head and look back at her. I was going to say Jayden, but we don't hang out enough for it to sound true.

"Wanna go out then?" She says bluntly.

I blush deeper and shrug my shoulders. I'm not dating anyone, and I probably won't date "her" at some point either.

"I'll think about it. Give me some time." I say looking back at Jayden.

Melissa scoffs and smiles.

All my focus was on Jayden. How much butterflies in my stomach gotten heavier. It twisted a storm in my head and I couldn't think straight. The bell rang and I quickly pack my stuff for the next period.

~~~~~~

"How was school May?" Jayden pops out of no where.

"It was g-"

"Who was that girl?" She cuts me off mid-sentence.

How much I wanted to let her walk home by herself. I got mad by her nosey attitude that my blood boiled. I shook my head as to not worry her as much. She clings on to my arm and leans her head on my shoulder. Sending me a heartbeat, I ignored my own thoughts and felt like she was all.

However at some point I have to give an answer to Melissa. If I tell Jayden, it's hard to know how she will react. The only person I could ever ask is Danny. He's dull but he knows what's the best situations. Or that's what I think . . .

"Tomorrow I'm going to practice with Danny. Wanna come?" She asked still clinging on to me.

I nod and get inside Koah's car. Waiting for a little bit, I see him walk with Nala and Marel. He asked me to scoot over to make room for them.

Nala is his girlfriend and Marel is like a brother he always wanted. Sadly I was a girl, but he doesn't mind much.

"You don't mind do you." Koah says as he looks through his mirrors.

I didn't reply since he wasn't expecting one. I look over at the windows with houses and stores. When we got to Jayden house to drop her off, Koah then drives to our house. A few streets away from her house.

All he wanted to do was try out his new video games with his friends. Something that made me jealous.

~~~~~~

"Don't bother us okay." He says as he walks up to his room.

I sigh and go to mine as well. I texted Danny-if he was busy and if not I could talk to him.

~~~
Danny:No What's up? And are you going to practice?
~~~

~~~
Oma:Its about a girl. And yes, I'm going to practice.
~~~

~~~
Danny:Whats about this girl? And we'll talk when we go to practice today. Don't worry.
~~~

And with that I didn't text anything back. There was no point in saying anything back when we were going to talk it over in practice.

I lay down waiting . . . waiting for feelings. Thinking about Jayden got me feeling off. I don't know if I like her, much rather she's sending me mixed signals about it. I don't know if I can be able to handle her. She's hanging out with other people like she's avoiding me. She did fine in middle school, but now I'm not sure about high school. I should transfer schools if me and Jayden are not going to do anything about it.

I cover my face in my hands and starch my head in frustration. Thinking about it makes my head hurt. I don't want to go to practice since I'm going to see "her" there. And why bother.

I look over at the clock and it reads almost 6:00. I walk out with my backpack and over at the small gym. Still thinking about what to say or react. I don't know if I should turn back or stay there at all . . .

~~~~~~

AN:I'm still deciding if Oma should say yes or not?! But I need the story to go on!! However I won't say, but it's obvious. I wanted to write more, but I decided that the next chapter (23) will be the next part and will talk about what will happen next. I won't say, because I don't like spoilers myself . . .

But anyways, thanks for reading!!!
