Don't Say... I Love You

My breath got caught as he entered the room. He flipped his kind of long black midnight hair to the side. His twinkling stormy blue eyes scanned the room. He was wearing an undershirt showing his muscles and his basketball shorts that showed his strong legs. He’s somewhat lean and he’s tall. He gave the class a great smile. He’s a player, the captain of the basketball team, and a jerk. He has kissed almost all of the girls in the high school and most importantly he is the heartbreaker. He is Jake Sanders and I have a huge crush on him. I’m one of the girls he hasn’t kissed. Jake usually never takes anything seriously. Jake wants to prove to his friends that he can kiss any girl so he has only a few girls to go. I know I won’t fall for his tricks.

I’m too smart. I am actually a nerd. My friends say I’m pretty so I am not the stereotype. I have dark coffee brown hair, olive green eyes, and the rest of me is average. Jake passed me by but he did something unusual while he passed me.

“Hi Leslie”, he said and winked.

That’s when I knew that I am his next victim. They don’t call him the heartbreaker for nothing. He always makes some poor girl fall in love with him. After he gets what he wants he leaves her. I know I won’t be that girl. It’s weird for me to have a huge crush on him because at the same time I kind of despise him. He doesn’t know that all the girls have nicknamed him the heartbreaker which is funny. Jake is so clueless sometimes. I heard someone call my name snapping me out my thoughts.

“Leslie Don. Leslie Don”, the teacher said.

“Here” I said.

Then she moved on to someone else. After taking attendance she started to assign groups for a project.

“Leslie Don, Jacey Shay, and Jake Sanders are a group”, the teacher said saying then saying the other groups.

I groaned. Jacey is pretty cool but Jake is the problem. Both came over to my desk. Jacey was smiling at me and glaring at Jake. I couldn’t blame her. Jake just smirked and winked at me. I wanted to whack him with a piñata stick.

“So what book should we pick?” I said.

We have to read a book and then make a presentation on what we learned about it.

“How about The Day Before Tomorrow?” Jacey suggested.

“Sure. I heard it was a good book but I haven’t had the chance to read it”, I said.

“You read books?” Jake said.

“Yeah, do you?” I said doubting highly that he did.

“Yes”, Jake lied.

I could see right through his lie.

“Alright, then it shouldn’t be a problem to read a 300 page book”, I said smiling.

I saw him panic for a second then I saw his arrogant smile again.

“Yep”, he said smirking.

He really should lose the act.

“Let’s get started then”, said Jacey.

“Ok”, Jake and I said at the same time.

Jake just smiled. We started planning. Meanwhile during the whole time Jake made any excuse to touch me. It started to really annoy me. At one point he “accidentally” touched my thigh. That bastard. I was so thankful when I heard the bell ring. I couldn’t stand another minute with that hot jerk.

“Bye Jacey”, I said.

“Bye Leslie”, she said and left.

I still couldn’t blame her. She thinks that Jake is annoying. I totally know how she feels. As I walked out the door Jake blocked me.

“Get out of my way Jake”, I said.

“No. Unless you hear me out”, Jake said.

“Fine”, I said.

“Do you want to hang out with me after school?” he asked.

My stomach filled with attacking butterflies. I would have said yes if it wasn’t that he asked me for the wrong reasons.

“No”, I said.

I am not going to play his games.

“How about tomorrow?” he insisted.

“I think I might be busy”, I lied.

“I’m not going to stop until you say yes”, he said smiling.

“Then how about never”, I said smirking.

I swear his jaw dropped to the floor but he quickly recovered. I guess he isn’t used to rejection. He will be after I’m done with him.

“We’ll see about that”, he said smirking and walked away.

He’s such a jerk. I went to my class. During most of the day whenever we passed each other he would wink, smirk, or smile at me. I guess he isn’t going to give up soon.

This is my new story. I hope you guys like it. I’ll try to update soon as I can. I’ll still be updating Everybody Wants To Be A Gangster  :)
