CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR:

  My amusement of his jealously quickly fades as I stare at the dent he left behind.

  I want to run after him and apologize, but I’m quickly reminded that we’re broken up when Louis pulls me back towards him.

  As I’m walking with him, I start to become bitter and want to remove his arm from around my shoulder. I already got what I wanted from him… now he just needs to leave me alone.

  He waves to a couple of his football friends and I turn my head away not wanting to be seen with him.

  “What class do you have next?” He stops to the side and asks me. I remove his arm from me and place it to the side and force myself to smile.
  “Thanks but I can walk myself. I don’t want to make you late for class.” I turn around and my smile instantly turns into a frown as I start to walk off quickly to escape him.

  “I’ll see you later…” He starts to yell down the hall way. I slouch my shoulders and pretend like I don’t hear him. “…Can’t wait until Friday!” His words echo down the hall for everyone else to hear and I start cursing to myself. I completely forgot that I actually made plans with him… I was just using him, and forgot that he wasn’t in on it.

  I roll my eyes and continue to walk away. I’ll just have to come up with an excuse not to go.

  I make it through my next class, not having it with anyone I know. I’m taking an advance chemistry II course and its all seniors. A couple of the football players that Louis was waving to earlier befriended me and let me sit with them.

  The bell rings for lunch and my whole body is taken over by my nerves. This exact moment is the moment that is single handedly responsible for making me hate coming back to school. Lunch is the absolute worse… it’s even more nerve racking now that I don’t have Jasmine with me.

  I go to the bathroom and just wait a few minutes, letting the heard of people get settled before me.

  After a good few minutes, I make my way towards the cafeteria. As I turn the corner, I see Louis pressed against another girl leaning against the wall. I make a face then continue to walk by. He’s facing her so he can’t see me, but I still keep a distance.

  “How about later tonight?” He brings his face closer to hers. “Just make sure you bring the condoms.” She giggles and I make a face in disgust.

  I walk away quickly before he sees me. I turn the corner and slightly feel hurt. I don’t know, I just thought he might actually like me… I start to feel insulted but then remember that it’s Louis and that I don’t even like him at all. I guess he’s just a player… but if that’s what keeps Zayn jealous, then two can play at that game.

  I make it into the cafeteria and see it packed with students. The thick aroma of sweat and horrible food mix in the air makes me nauseous.

I look around at the tables and start to freak out. I have no idea where to sit. I see the football players I had class with earlier, but I know I can’t sit with them… only football players can sit there.

  I look and see the weird band table, the nerdy table, the table with all the gorgeous/stuck up people…. Everyone has a specific group of people to sit with except for me.
   As I scan the room, I notice a couple hands waving at me. It’s the group of girls me and Jasmine would hang out with. A couple of them I see from earlier this morning.
  They’re all pretty popular, but I never really was friends with them… Jasmine was, I would just sit and listen or laugh at what they said.

  I walk over to them, surprised that they’re letting me sit with them.

  I put my bag down by the empty seat, “Thanks for letting me sit with you guys.” I say smiling, “I’ll be right back, I’m gonna go get something to eat.” She nods and I walk off to the salad bar.
