Such a Gentleman.

Jack's POV

I saw my brother along with his friends enter an ice-cream shop having the time of their life and then I saw HER. None other than Clara Wilson.. My brother's girlfriend's best friend. Long relation? Lemme cut it down to my long time Crush.. I have had a crush on her since she came to Ryan's party 3 years ago. I have had many occasions to tell her so but never had the guts. None of her friends except for Maria knew about my hopeless crush and now this chunk named Tyler comes out of nowhere and claims her to be his girlfriend?

 'Get in the line buddy' I thought.

To say she was shocked on hearing what he said would be an understatement.. she literally had her mouth wide opened and eyes popped out. Damn girl she looked so good even like this. I saw Maria looking at me with a sad face. She is not in a relation right? I have still got a chance with her right?

Clara's POV

I was too shocked to react when Tyler claimed me to be his girlfriend. I mean what? We hate each other right? We aren't even friends for god's sake. But why did I feel this weird feeling in my stomach hearing that? Maybe the pizza I ate yesterday. Yes it has to be that. But now this idiot had made me lose the only hope I had with Jack. 'I HATE YOU TYLER' I thought.

"Of course not" I said raising my voice.

"We won't ever date. Right Tyler?" I asked glaring. I saw something flash through his eyes. Was it hurt? No no stop over thinking Clara.

"Obviously I was just kidding.. I mean common look at me I can get any girl I want so why on earth will I want her?" he said arrogantly. I should be happy right? But no I felt as if someone was stabbing me hard. Ignoring the feeling I smiled at Jack which he gladly returned. See he was such a gentleman unlike this arrogant but handsome Tyler. Wait why am I comparing them? Get a grip Clara.

"Why don't you join us?" asked Stella. 'Yes please join us' I thought.

" Sure why not" he said while Tyler was clutching the table so hard that his knuckles were white now. What is wrong with him? Five minutes back he was all happy and now he is brooding. Are all boys so confusing? But Alex is pretty simple to deal with.. but then again he is an idiot.

I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Jack talking to me.

"So Clara long time no see.. how is everything going on?" he asked sitting next to me. He was sitting so close that I couldn't think straight. I saw Maria giving me a knowing smirk while Alex and Ryan were discussing about the game they saw yesterday and Stella and Tyler were kind of having their own silent conversation through eyes. I suddenly felt jealous. 'Ohh Clara get a grip' I thought.

" Everything has been perfectly fine Jack. What about you? How is your college going?" I replied smiling and trying to concentrate. Suddenly the chair beside me fell as Tyler stood up angry and stormed out of the parlor. There was dead silence for sometime everyone just processing what exactly did happen. When I was about to go after him Maria bet me to it.

"I'll go see what is wrong" she said rushing after him. I was more jealous with every passing minute and it had already been 15 mins so you get it right?. I couldn't concentrate on what Jack was saying as my mind was drifting of to that arrogant idiot. Also it was clear that it wasn't just me who was jealous. Alex was fidgeting around, engrossed in his own thoughts and his expressions were as if he was ready to kill.

 But why?
