My Brother's Best Friend

Why Do You Care?

- Sarah's POV - 

15 minutes later, we were in front of the school gate. After getting out from the car, I decided to wait for David to park his car. Meanwhile, Jennifer came towards me.

"Hi Sarah. Who's the new dude?" She winked.

"Um... David." I mumbled.

"Woah, he's hot, you know that, right? You're one lucky girl." She replied.

As David walked towards me, somehow I decided to walk to away. I didn't know why, but my heart was beating fast.My palms were sweating. Oh god, do I have a crush on David?

"Hey Sarah, where are ya going? I thought we were supposed to walk together to class.." David said.

I couldn't listen to the rest of his sentence because I was far away from him.

Maybe I shouldn't be acting like this, or else, he would find out someday.

- Jennifer's POV - 

"Is she gonna be alright?" David asked with a worried look.

"Yea, she's just .. shy sometimes to socialise. Anyways, let's get to class." I smiled.

And we quickly walked towards our class for the first period of English.

- Sarah's POV - 

As I sat down on my seat, I saw David and Jennifer entering. They were talking while laughing. I wish I was like them. Me and Ash.. wait what? What am I thinking. Ashton's with Megan already. He doesn't need me, so do I. I can find one better than that jerk.

"Hey." David said

"Hi.... sorry, back there. I had to rush to class before Ms Christine enters." I mumbled.

"It's alright."

Everyone stood up to greet Ms Christine, our English teacher.

"Good morning Ms Christine."

As class was on going, I felt someone was looking at me from the back. I wasn't clear who was it. But as I turned back, it was David! OMG. I quickly turned to look in front. He was looking at me. 

- David's POV - 

Damn. She caught me looking at her. But I can't stop looking at her. She's like the one I have been looking for. I have a crush on her since we were in third grade. I really want to date her, but how can I tell her now? When she's having a hard time with the so called "Ashton". I got to find a way. Somehow...

- Sarah's POV - 

Classes ended so fast these days. Soon, it was in the afternoon, which means we get to go back home.

"Sarah, wait up." Jennifer yelled.

"Haha, sure." I smiled.

"So what are you two?" She asked.

"Which two?" I questioned back.

"You and David. When were you guys together?" She winked.

"Back in Megan's house. When I was supposed to pick Ashton up. Sadly, he refused and somehow David came forward and introduced himself. We met from there." I explained.

"Woah... that must be awesome lol." She replied.

"Kind of. Anyways, I don't wanna talk about it. It makes me sick."

"Alright alright. We're almost there to your house. I wasn't really sure about what Ms Christine was talking about at page 42. Can you teach me?" She asked politely.

"Sure." I agreed.

As I was about to open the front door, someone appeared. The last person I wanted to see. Ashton.

When our eyes met, Ashton started to speak.

"Sarah, about last night..." He explained.

Before he could even continue, I pulled Jennifer's hand and walked straight up to my room.

As we entered my bedroom, I sighed.

"Sarah, sooner or later, you've got to talk to him, you know." Jennifer said.

"I know. It's just.. I'm not ready to face him. He acted like a jerk. Why can't I?" I questioned.

Then, there was a knock.

"Sarah, just talk for a while, k?" Jennifer whispered with a smile.

I hope this works...

When I opened the door, a sad Ashton stood in front of my door.

"I came here to apologise for what I'd done back in Megan's house. C'mon you know I was really drunk that night. Please forgive me, Sarah." He begged.

"Why? So that you could go back and do the same thing you did before? Well, no thanks Ashton. You're nothing but a total jerk. You don't have to care about me anymore because we're done." I said.

"Please Sarah, give me one last chance. I'll make it up to you. Think of it. Who's going to pick you up to school? Who's going to cheer you up when you're sad? Who's....."

"Why do you care in the first place? I have someone in mind already. He's way better off than you, Ashton. Give it up. Go to your precious fuck girl and tell her that the guy that she's been trying to get is available from now on." I yelled.

"Don't you get it Sarah. I was seriously drunk. I didn't know what I was thinking the other night. Please.." He continued begging.

I knew I shouldn't be that cruel to the guy I love, but what was I supposed to do? Let him continue fucking Megan while his precious girlfriend is waiting for his arrival? I'm not going to let it happen. 

I quickly then shut the door, not wanting to hear a single word from Ashton anymore.

"Sarah, you're alright? Calm down, ok?" Jennifer said.

I nodded. I guess that was just the beginning.
