Unrequited Love

Chapter 2

"What kind of plan?" I asked curiously.

"We should date." He said.

I face palmed.

"What?" I asked.

"We should date. Like fake date."

Oh.

"That sounds good, but what would that do?"

"Well, I could date you, and Diana would get jealous because we're dating."

That would work. Diana still does like Jeremiah.

"What about Myles? He wouldn't care! He doesn't like me in that way."

"You're right, so it would boost your popularity."

"I don't need popularity."

"Right, because your idea of normal is 1 friend. Yeah, no. You need more."

"Then how would I make friends? Most people try to get close to me because of Diana, and when I'm popular, people are going to become friends with me because I'm popular."

"You know, you're actually quite smart."

I straighted my posture. 

"I know." I beamed.

I looked over at Myles and Diana. They were still making out. 

5 MINUTES LATER

They were slowly pulling apart from each other. Just then, Jeremiah grabbed my waist and planted his lips on mine. He started to suck on my bottom lip making my lips part and I let out a slight groan. He was a really, really, really, good kisser. I heard a very feminine sounding gasp. I smiled against Jeremiah's lips, and he was smiling, too. I pushed him away.

"Diana!" I said trying to sound surprised.

"Who's that?" She asked with her hands on her hips.

"Jeremiah Gray, hi Diana." He said.

Her eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. She jumped into his arms. He started to wrap his arms around her when I sent him a telepathic message.

We're fake dating! If you act like you still love her, then what's the freaking point?

He immediately let go of her and pushed her away. He looked at a gobsmacked Myles. 

"Hi, man! What's up?" Jeremiah asked him.

"J-J-Jeremiah! Y-you're back!" Myles stammered surprised.

"Yep. For good. Did you know that Quinton, here, is my new girlfriend?"

Diana looked like she just got slapped in the face while Myles looked like a wounded puppy.

"SHE'S WHAT?" they both screeched at the same time.

Wow. They had more in common than I thought!

"Yeah, we're dating!" I smiled fakely at them.

Jeremiah looked at me lovingly. Wow, if he were an actor, he would be winning awards left and right! 

"Well, uhh, so're we!" Myles shot back.

Wait a minute. Shot back? Was he jealous?

"Yeah!" Diana exclaimed.

"Good, then we should really double date sometime!" Jeremiah said.

"Sounds fine!" Myles shot back.

"Okay!"
