He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

Chapter 4

I try to avoid everyone the next day. By everyone, I mean Tyler, Jake and Tony Reynolds, and Abigail. After everything that happened last night, I could not even think about facing them.

I decide to run to school so I won't have to deal with Ty. I slip on some black athletic shorts, a white tank top, and a pair of Nike. I pull my hair into a tight, high ponytail and apply a little mascara before heading out the door.

The run to school was exactly what I needed. It was a great way to clear my head and think about what has happened. I walk into school and head straight to my locker to get a change of clothes. Right as I pull out my clothes my locker slams shut.

"What the hell!" I look into the evil eyes of Jake Reynolds as I throw my hands up.

He laughs. "Scared much?"

I roll my eyes. "Go to hell Jake." I try to walk away but he slaps his hand on the locker to block me from leaving. "What is wrong with you?"

Jake moves closer to me so the distance between us begins to disappear. He leans in and whispers in my ear,"I'm driving you crazy." Feeling his breath on me makes me go crazy. I feel my
panties beginning to fill with wetness. How is this even possible? My breathing increases slightly as I search my head for things to say. I reach my
hand up to slap him, but he grabs my wrist. He smirks and says,"Don't." His face becomes closer and closer to mine. He's right because he is driving me crazy. I want his lips on mine right now, this very moment...

"Lex!" I hear Abby call. Jake breaks away from me and walks down the hallway. "Ty called me this morning. Where were you?"

I shrug. "I decided to take a run." Abigail and I begin walking down the hallway towards the bathroom.

"A run?" She laughs. "Since when do you run?"

I roll my eyes. "When do you care?"

"Damn girl, it was a joke, calm down."

I shake my head. "I'm sorry Ab. I just have a lot on my mind."

I get dressed and Abigail and I head to first period. Mr. Taylor reviews with us about our final, but my mind is elsewhere. All I can think about is Jake! What was his deal this morning? And how did he manage to get me so wet with just his voice...

My phone buzzes as I get a text from Tony Reynolds. Great.

Tony R: Can't stop thinking about last night... 😉

Right. Because last night I kissed Tony Reynolds. Why is my life becoming so complicated?

The bell rings before I can even decide if I should respond to Tony or not. Then I remember that I have second period with him anyways. Oh what fun...

I try to walk a new route to Statistics to avoid seeing Tony and I don't. It's the other Reynolds I see.

"Well look who it is," Jake smirks as he begins walking with me to class.

I roll my eyes. "I don't have time for you today Jake."

He chuckles. "Good thing we aren't going by your watch."

"Can't you find someone else to harass?"

"That's it!" Jake grabs my hand and leads me to a supply closet near by.

"What the hell! Let me out!" I try to open the door, but Jake blocks it with his arm.

"Why can't I get you off my mind Andrews?" Jake whispers seductively.

I gulp as I feel my wetness reappear. "I dunno." I'm pinned up against the door with Jake holding my hands down near my head. His beautiful brown hair is almost begging for my fingers to run through it. His blue eyes are locked with mine and they are so full of lust and hunger. His arms are so muscular, so built. "Admiring the show?" Jake asks with a smirk.

I look away from Jake and blush from embarrassment. I didn't realize how much I had been staring at him. His lips are dangerously close to mine now, and I desperately wish for those soft lips to crash into mine. Instead, without breaking eye contact, he reaches down and opens the door. "Get to class Andrews." I slowly leave the closet as he shuts the door behind me.

What the fuck just happened? I speed to class and sit down at my assigned seat in statistics and keep my head low. Jake and I didn't do anything in that closet, but I feel different.

The person behind me kicks the leg of my chair. I turn around to see the face of Tony Reynolds. I give a fake smile and say,"Hey."

"Where were you during passing period?"

"Oh I just decided to walk another way today. Ya know, change of scenery."

I guess Tony senses my nervousness and all around awkwardness when he asks,"Are you okay?"

I nod and fake smile to him again. "I'm okay." I turn back around in my seat and pull out my math notebook.

I'm not okay.
