Love Grows Fonder With Time

The meeting part 2

So, since I told you about my past with Jessey, you have a good idea of why I MOST DEFINITELY DO NOT want him back in the gang. And I'm really curious to why Reece, out of all people, are debating whether or not to bring him back to the gang😑.

"Savannah, just let me explain why I'm considering to let him join," Reece said
"Fine. I would love to hear this," I said
"Jessey has connections to one of our enemies and he said that he's willing to tell us all of the information we need if we give him protection and some sort of access to the gang while he's in town," Reece explained
I looked away from him
"Look I don't want him to be here as much as you do but we have to do something to get these guys off our backs," Reece said
I still didn't look back, it's just a little scary knowing what could happen when he's in our meeting or even hanging out with us. The one bright side bout this situation is he already graduated high school online so I won't see him at school 😪 bullet dodged.
"Trust me Savannah if he even thinks or attempts to touch you I will gladly put his sorry a$$ in the hospital," Reece said with a smirk
I sighed and turned to face Reece.
I smiled "I know you will" I say
He gave me a reassuring smile and continued with the meeting.

-- After the meeting --

By the time we got back to school the gang had its meeting and had lunch elsewhere. Reece and I part ways with our friends and head to class.

Time jump to last period

Reece and I walk into 7th period finding some of our friends to sit with. We saw Dylan and Jack G sitting at the desks in the back row so we decided to join them.

"Hey Reece long time no see," Dylan said. He likes to goof around a lot.
Reece laughs
"Yea man I haven't seen you in forever" says Reece
We sit down at our seats and Reece grabs the desk attached to the chair and pulls it closer to him so he can put his arm around me. I roll my eyes but still having a grin on my face. We have a couple of minutes till the teacher gets here and till we start class so not everybody is settled down yet. I hear laughing coming from the door that sounded awfully familiar. I look over to see the twins Ethan and Grayson and... Jacob. I guess Eth and Gray got to him before any other clique could. (Oh btw, since the twins and I are in totally different social groups, we act like we are strangers. More like enemies if you see how those girls they hang out with actually treat us on a daily basis.)
When Jacob walked in the room I know for a fact that he saw me, I seen him glancing over at me once and he didn't bother to say hi. Not even a simple wave. Man, I'm starting to miss him.

-- Bell rings --

"Ok class settle down please, thank you, now my name is Mr. Schebichi and I will be your substitute for World History. Now your teacher said in her letter that you have assign seating arrangements *class groans in annoyance* yes I know, assign seats are the worst but your teacher will take points off your grade if you aren't in your seat so I'll remind you where you sit," the teacher explains to us

He reads off what seat everyone have to sit at. We all find our seats, I sit in the second row next to some people I don't really know. Then all of a sudden Jacob, out of all people, sat right next to me. This day couldn't get any better.

Jacob sighs "So, that's ur boyfriend over there," Jacob asks

Reece is sitting on the other side of the class room with Jack so I wouldn't be able to talk to him.

"Yea that's him. Why do you ask," I say
"Just wondering what the sad excuse of a human being looked like," he said

WHOA WHOA WHOA. Did Jacob really just say that. Are my ears fooling me.
I turn my myself towards Jacob.

"What the fudge do you mean 'sad excuse'," I asked

Jacob sighs. "Savannah I think you well know that he changed you. I don't think I can live with myself knowing what happened to you,"
He motions to my right arm. Only my wrist was showing but he could see what I did to myself. I pulled my sleeve down to cover the scar I had. A few months ago I was really missing my mom so I got a knife and... well you probably know what happened next.

I clear my throat. "Well you can live with yourself knowing that I'll be ok. I lived without you for a few years and I'm fine (I lied) so don't worry about me,"

He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. He doesn't need all this crap that I'm going through.

The teacher announced that we have a project on the American Revolution. He read off the names of groups we're in.

"... Jack, Hannah and Alex. Asia, Roxie and Brandon. Reece, Savannah and Jacob..." the teacher said

Tires screeching sound effect

Hold up. You mean to tell me that I'm in a group with Reece AND Jacob. Why me, Reece doesn't do his work and what if Jacob and Reece argue with each other.

Reeces POV

When I heard I was in a group with Savannah I immediately got happy. We could probably get lots of alone time if you know what I mean. But then when I heard that Jacob was in a group with us, that happiness faded. I cannot believe that me Savannah and that douche are in one group together. I will not hesitate to punch his stupid face if he tries to take her.

Jacobs POV

Ok is the best day ever or not. NOT. sighs. I'm not complaining about being in a group with Savannah I mean, I love that girl y'know and I wanna help her, but I'm not gonna get anywhere with that piece of 💩 in our group.
