Just the Usual High School Love

Chapter 18

He stands there with his eyes wide, as Chad slowly lets go of me and takes a small step away from me.

For a second I think I see pain flash in his eyes but I cannot tell, his face is emotionless.

BRENDAN'S P.O.V.(from Brendan's point of view)

She is with him? Are you kidding? 

She has to be with the jockiest jock there is so I can't beat his ass for touching her.

I just saw them kiss. Ew.

Wait what is wrong with me, I don't even like her why am I thinking of all this stuff against Chad. He isn't a bad guy I just feel so weird about all of this.

And she didn't tell me that is the worst part.

I wonder how long this has been going on before they went public.

She didn't tell me! UGH!

Of course she would kill me if she knew, and I haven't told her.

"How long?" I slowly ask, my voice hoarse.

Why am I being like this, I should be happy for her, she has liked this ass since 6th grade. 

She has hoplessly liked him, even if she claimed she didn't. She never talked to them and then BAMN here he is making out with her in the middle of the damn hallway. Like what the hell?

"Nevermind." I say when he opens up his mouth.

"I'm happy for you." I smile a terribly failed smile.

"Thank you." she almost whispers, tension clear in the thick air of the crowded hallway.

I look to my left to spot a skinny girl walking toward me, smirking at Chad and Ann and then looking to me.

Shit she isn't doing this now is she? Fuck.

"Hi baby." Jenna comes up and kisses me on the lips but I pull away and I feel disgusted that she would actually do this.

We are only having sex and let me tell you she is hot in bed but we aren't dating, we never even talk. And I know she likes Chad too and I also know she hates Ann.

It is extremely clear that Ann hates her too when her face goes red with anger she is trying to hold in and I see her step closer to Chad which makes me face heat in anger.

"Jenna what are you doing here?" I ask as if everyone is totally not jealous right now, knowing that they are all fuming in this strange set up of people.

"Wondering if you are free tonight." she simply says and bites her lip. "Oh HI Chad, oh and Ann you're here too, hmm." She adds to the whole group with the fakest smile I've ever seen.

"Umm, erm I'm not free, I am hanging out with some friends." I lie.

I look at Ann but she is looking at Jenna, I really want her to please support me on this lie but she seems distracted, "Isn't that right, Annie?" I ask, using her nickname without thinking and I see both Chad and Jenna look at me and tense up at the word.

"Hmm?" she finally replies, looking at me.

"A couple of us are hanging out tonight, remember?" I look her in the eye, pleading she will get what I mean here.

"Oh, umm yeah, yeah we are."she says, stumbling over her words, and I sigh in relief.

"You never told me you were hanging out with him?" Chad chimes in and points at me, putting emphasis on him as if I disgust him. I probably do, I hope I do, be jealous you dumbass jock.
