Same Old Jerk

Chapter 19: Same Old Jerk
*UNEDITED*

"It's none of your business! Go to sleep!" He shouted roaring showing me the knife in his hand. I gulped crying my eyes out.
Going to my bed. Were was mommy, and why wasn't she stopping him?

That's when I saw a figure standing outside. I looked closer at the figure and saw that it was mom. She was looking at me terrified as she ran away from the house. I punched the window screaming her name but it was too late.

Mom was gone.

"So when are you going to tell him?" Fran asked for the fifth time as I shot her a death glare. "I will tell him when he tells me his secret." I said as Lodo rolled her eyes.

"Gosh you are so stubborn, just tell him already." She said as I rolled my eyes at her this time. "As I said before I will tell him when he tells me his secret." I repeated as Lodo sighed.

"He deserves to know." Lodo said again as I looked at her pissed off. "So do I. I deserve to know."

"Listen T, the secret you are keeping from him can make him understand Luke's reasons, but the secret he is keeping from you is his own personal things." Lodo said as I sighed.

"I don't care. I won't tell him until he tells me!" I shouted as I shut down my locker. "Why do you want him to tell you so badly?

Maybe it was the fact that I was his friend. Or maybe it was the fact that I told him all my secrets; about my mother,father and even about my relationship with Luke. I told him everything expect this secret. Or it was the fact that I trusted him, but he didn't trust me back.

"Because I'm his friend Lodo. He should tell me." I said as Lodo raised her eyebrows. "He has many friends he hasn't told yet, and it's not like it is the happiest story. So why are you so angry about it?" Lodo said as I looked at the floor.

"It kind of affects me that he thinks that I doesn't deserve the truth."
I finally said going away from Lodo to my next period.

Jorge was still being a jerk to me which kind of surprised me. I mean yesterday was his "once a week" thing, so why would he be the same old jerk? He completely ignored my questions, avoided me in class and talked to other students instead.
I really missed the dorky jorge.
The Jorge who could joke around.
The Jorge who could be a real softie sometimes.
I missed the old Jorge.

"Uhm Jorge?" I said as he finally faced me. It was the first time I could see how annoyed and pissed Jorge was. I didn't know what I did or what I should apologize for.
"Why are you ignoring me?" I asked him as he rolled his eyes.
"I have a reason to." Jorge said annoyed as he lifted his gaze from me to his other friends again.

Lodo then looked at my way like "what the hell" as I shrugged in response. Both of us didn't know, but I had a feeling Jorge would tell Lodo soon enough.

"What's the reason?" I asked him again as he faced me sighting.
"Geez, can't you shut up?" He asked e annoyed as I laid ,y hands on my hips.

"Why are you ignoring my question?."

"Why can't you shut up?"

"Why are you so pissed and annoyed?"

"Why do you care?"

"Obviously because you are avoiding me for no reason." I told him annoyed this time. He was confusing me so much lately.

"You already know the reason. So it's pointless to repeat it again." He said as he looked at the other direction, continuing with his conversation with his friends. I looked down at our math sheets and started working with them.

If Jorge would be like this, than I would too.

"I know the reason." Lodo told me as I looked at her with curiosity. I knew that he would tell her. In fact, I was very sure that he would.

"Tell me already!" I told her as she rubbed the back of her neck.
What's that supposed to mean? Was she not telling me it?

"I think it's better if Jorge told you himself." She said as I rolled my eyes. "He would never tell me." I said pointing out the obvious.

"You never know."

"C'mon just tell me!" I told her as she pointed at Jorge.
"Ask him."

He hated me right now and I knew for sure that he never would do that. Jorge was really pissed at me and I didn't even know why. As I said before, he was being the same old jerk.

When I saw that there were absolutely no chance that Lodo would tell me, I sighed, going to Jorge.

"I uh-uh need to talk to you." I said awkwardly as Jorge nodded. I've never been this awkward with jorge. He would always joke about it when I was awkward with him, and it somehow made me feel much comfortable, but the Jorge I was going to talk with right now ;; didn't joke around ; In fact he didn't say anything. He put on his blank expression and watched the trees near the school.

"Lodo told me that she knew why you were avoiding me but she never told me it and wanted me to come here instead. This will probably be the last time I ask you this ; why are you ignoring and avoiding me? What did I do wrong?" I finished off as Jorge finally looked at me. He started in my eyes for 2 minutes before speaking.

"I uh" he hesitated before continuing.

"I know Luke's secret, T."

My mouth widened as all my books fell on the floor, and the only two words that came out of my mouth was ;:

"Oh shit."
