Mr Player, Mr Popular and I

7. Do you have a nickname for him?

Jesslyn's POV.

I read somewhere that a fully grown octopus is flexible enough to climb all the way through a human's intestines. From the feeling in my stomach right now, that's exactly what's happening.

Have you ever had one of those moments when you hope for something not to be true so much? Very, very much? Yeah, that's what I'm feeling right now.

"What, no... Noooo. Now way, I'm supposed to get it in 2 weeks, I mean, oh sausages, why did I tell you that! Oh my god." I exclaim, dropping my bag on the ground and sprinting into the toilet, locking the door behind me.

I shall never ever come out. Not in a million years, and definitely not in a minute. God no. This is so embarrassing. Why me god? What did I do wrong so much that I am stuck here with Jackson telling me I might be on my period? Huh?

Then I hear him laughing his ass off.

"Shut up. It's not funny." I mumble in embarrassment. Can I please go jump off a cliff right now? Can I pretty please?

"Oh, Jesslyn baby... Oh my god, I... I was... Oh my god, I was... I was joking!" Jackson laughs, struggling to get the words out.

Wait, what? I check whether I am on it or not. Oh my gosh, there is nothing there. Jerk!

"Oh the... the look... on your face... Oh god!" He keeps laughing.

I bang my head on the door. I should have known the prick was messing with me. I open the door sharply, keeping a straight face, walking past him as he laughs. I swiftly pick up my bag and walk out, leaving him laughing.

Just as I walk out, I remember my goggles are on the bench when I left them there when I ran into the toilet. Damn it! I quickly walk back to get it, and strut back out. I turn my head when I was at the door.

"You are such a jerk. I hate you!" I snap, but this only makes him laugh more. Boys. Some have just probably been dropped on their head when they were a baby. Evidence of that is theory is Jackson.

~After training session, in female change rooms getting dressed~

"Oh my gosh, Jackson's abs are like perf!" A girls exclaims from Mia's group, making the others agree, giggling. I roll my eyes, putting my bra on while covering myself with my huge towel.

"And Luke's abs too. Oh my god, they are like perfect!" Another girls exclaims. Okay, I'm not arguing with that, Luke is hot, full stop. But Jackson... yeah no. Okay, maybe Jackson's body is pretty good, but he's still a jerk!

"So, are you new?" A girl asks me, making me take my attention away from Mia's group. I smile, nodding. I will do anything for a friend right now.

"Cool. I'm Marley! You?" The girl asks. She's quite pretty. With long dark curly hair, sun tanned skin and eyes a unique shade of blue, she must be very popular amongst the boys! She is so pretty!

"Jesslyn." I say, putting on my top.

"Oh your accent is so cute! Is it... um, okay, I don't know!" She laughs.

"Oh I know, it's Australian!" Another girl beside me adds.

"Yep!" I say, popping the p.

"I love Australian accents. Talking about Australia, are there many hot guys there?" The girl asks.

"Oh, plenty! You just gotta know where to find them though." I say, making them giggle.

"I'm Sasha. You're Jesslyn right?" She asks me, and I nod.
