"The nerve of that bitch!" I ranted on like I have been for the past half hour in Craig's basement, which was the chill spot. It had been a week since the party, and I was still pissed off at that bitch Nicki for thinking that she could play me like a hoe.

"So you're mad that she did something that you would do?" Craig asked sarcastically. "I'm Jacob Emmanuel Perez, and I play females, that's what I do! I dont get played!" I yelled, quickly losing my temper. He rolled his eyes at me and continued flipping through channels on the tv. "Well apparently you do get played. At least by Nicki you do." he said under his breath. I gave him a death glare which he ignored.

"But really Craig, how the hell did this happen to me of all people? " I asked again. "Well at least now you know how it feels!" he snapped. "Yo craig, what your pr-" he cut me off. "Your ego is as big as your fucking hair, and you're mad because she did something that your player ass would do! Well how does it fucking feel !"

I was taken back by the tone of his voice. Craig was so angry, and he was never like this. He was usually cool and laid back. "Craig, you alright man?" I asked sitting down next to him. He took a few deep breaths. "No jake, I feel like shit." he said. I stayed silent and waited for him to continue. "I told Serena that we should just be friends."

I was actually surprised. they seemed so good together. "I thought you were going there to ask her to be your girlfriend, why'd you tell her that?" he picked the remote back up and continued flipping through the channels. "forget it. But as for you and Nicki, I think you should get your ass out of your head and just admit that you like the girl." He said bluntly. Did I like her? well I knew that it made me angry as fuck to see her kiss Ray. Was I jealous? I immediately shook the feeling off.

Jacob Emannuel Perez does NOT get jealous.

Craig Pov

Tonight we were meeting up with the girls at the movies to see some stupid vampire movie. Chres, Ray, Jake and I have been standing outside the theater for about ten minutes for the girls to show up. Why did girls take so long to get ready? It seriously wasn't even that necessary.

I spotted them walking towards us, but the only person i was paying attention to was Serena. We all greeted each other, and i saw Nicki give Ray a hug . I looked over to see Jake glaring at the two angriliy as she kissed him on the cheek. I laughed at his jealousy.  It was so obvious that he liked her.

Chres and Leah were talking, and Serena and I were standing near each other awkwardly. Once we got our tickets, we made our way to the movie theater and took our seats. Chres, sat in the back row with Raena and Leah on either side of him, serena was sat next to Leah, and I sat next to Serena.  Ray and Jake were on either side of Nicki in the row in front of everyone else.

We were all engaged in a group conversation, and when the lights went dim, signaling the start of the movie,  we stopped. Leah and Chres were cracking jokes pretty much through the whole movie, even making random people througout the theater laugh. Serena didn't even seem to be watching the movie for a while, since her attention was on her hands that were in her lap. 

"What's wrong Rena?" I whispered. she looked at me like I was stupid and rose out of of her seat, storming toward the exit.  I followed her outside and grabbed her arm to keep her from walking away from me. She was obviously still made at me telling her that we could only be friends.  "Rena, I'm sorry. I was really only thinking about you." I said.

She snatched her arm away and glared at me. "Did you think about how heartbroken I would be? Did you think about how much of a hoe I would feel ? No craig, you were thinking about yourself. Don't give me that Bullshit." She snapped angrily. "It wasn't even like that Serena. if you let me explain.." she cut me off. "You could've explained when you told me we could only be friends instead of leaving me alone at night confused and heartbroken. I hung me head, ashamed at what I had done. but I was determined to make things right.

"I was scared." I said in a low voice. She snorted. "And what were you so afraid of? commitment? " she said sarcastically. "I was afraid that I would hurt you." I said, looking her in her eyes. she didn't know what to say so I continued.

"I've only been in one serious relationship in my life and it ended because I cheated on her. I don't know what I was thinking risking two of the best years of my life for some hoe. Serena , I really like you and I don't want to do that to you too. I don't deserve you, and you deserve someone way better than me" I concluded,  and waited for her response.

It was silent for a while before suddenly Serena wrapped her arms around my neck. "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." she said then got up on the tips of her toes, bringing her soft lips to mine. A wave of electricity shot through my body, and I rested my hands on her waist. The kiss was passionate but demanding at the same time. when she pulled away, all I wanted to do was pull her back to me and kiss her some more.

She rested her forehead against mine. "We deserve each other" she whispered, blowing her minty breath across my face, and sending chills down my spine. I leaned in to kiss her again, but then the theater door flew open, and out came our friends.

"Hey Craig, Serena, we got kicked out... woah, what's going on here?" Jake asked raising his eyebrows suggestively.

"Shut up Jake." I said as we started walking out the movie theater. when everyone else walked out,  I pulled Serena back into my arms. "Be my girlfriend?"

She smiled at me. "Of course I will" she said then pecked my lips.

Life is so fucking good right now.
