Crushing On Him... (Diggy Simmons Fanfic)

Chapter 6

I spent the whole of that week and weekend thinking about Diggy and Jason. The problem was, I loved Diggy but I was so attracted to Jason and I didn't even know how I was. It was crazy. 

On Monday, I walked into school and it felt like everyone's eyes were on me the whole time. "Hey.." Kayla smiled at me as I approached her at her locker. A group of guys and girls passed us when I came to stand with her and they all glared and whispered about me and Kayla saw how sad and depressed I was about it. "Hey, hey!" she called to the group of girls. "What you staring at her for? Is there a problem?" "Hm, not much.." one of the girl shrugged and tossed her hair over her shoulder. "Just that she's a major slut" she said and Kayla raised her fist so quickly and looked like she'd hit the girl in the face and the girl looked terrified and so did her friends. "Kays, no..." I pulled her back from making probably the biggest mistake today. "Leave it" I said holding her shoulders firmly. Kayla put her arms back by her side and lowered her first. "Fine" she said grinding her teeth and the girls left. 

"They can't be talking about you like that.." Kayla said to me as she took her books out of her locker. "lYou're not a slut. You didn't sleep with either of them" she stated. That was true. "Hm" I hummed. "How's the hand?" "Better.." I said, still looking at my hand wrapped in bandage from that basketball incident before "And you're head?"she asked. "No pain" I responded and tapped my head lightly and smiled at her and she laughed back at me

We turned from her locker and she closed it and to my surprise, I saw Diggy walking down the corridor and he glared at me and opened his locker which was across from where we were standing He shook his head and turned away, not focusing on us for another minute. "Don't think about it" Kayla told me.  That was hard to do seeing as I literally broke two hearts in one day. We were about to head to class when Jason rushed up and was standing behind me "I need to talk to you." he said in a low voice. Diggy's head glanced at us standing together and it made me uncomfortable and guilty. "Um" "Just five minutes" Jason pleaded. I looked at Kayla for advice. "See you there.." she said and walked to class. 

"I really want you" he admitted and I knew from looking past Jason that Diggy was eavesdropping on our conversation. He'd froze at his locker and listened with his head tilted slightly down. "Yeah, so?" I said calmly. "What do you mean yeah so?" he asked confused. "I don't... I can't jump into it. I need to make amends with everybody first and right now I should start with you." I told him. 

"I like you too" I said and Diggy slammed his locker shut and stormed off, not even wanting to hear the rest of my sentence. I watched him go and as I did, my heart sunk to the bottom of my sneakers. "But... you're not where my heart is" I said. "What? Who then? Diggy?" he asked me shocked. I nodded and he put his hands on his head on frustration. "You can't be serious!" he exclaimed. I felt so guilty right there and then. "I'm, sorry but.." "Yeah, because you just threw away the best chance you woulda got. You see the way he is to you, he hasn't even spoken to you in half a week and you want him back?" he said making me feel like an idiot.

"I just.... I don't know" I almost cried and put my hands over my face. "Don't.." Jason said and held my hands and gently pulled them away from my face. He looked down at me from his tall height and into my eyes with his deep brown eyes. "Sorry I put you through anything" he said to me with his gentle, soothing voice Only just now did I really see the scratches and injuries from the fight. At least his scars were healing. I smiled a little at him and when the bell went, our hands released from each other's grip. "I gotta go.." I breathed and walked off without  even saying bye.

"There you are...!" Marie exclaimed to us and our group of friends as she came to join us for lunch. We were sat with the group of boys we'd befriended last week and they were really cool guys. Mack, Jerome and Tristan were their names. They were all somewhat friends with Jason, but were on the basketball team with Diggy, but they didn;t want to pick sides in their brawl so they joined us at lunch. "I haven't seen you all day.." Marie said to us and fist-bumped the boys as she sat down and ate her fries. "What's new?" she asked me and I shook my head "None" I told her and shrugged. "What did Jason say to you?" Kayla asked and Marie's face was so shocked at me. "You spoke to him?!" she exclaimed and then the boys jumped into the conversation. "You know he still likes you, right?" Jerome informed us. "Yeah, yeah he said that.." I stared at my plate of food. 

"So date him!" Marie exclaimed to me and Tristan and Mack nodded with her. "That's not where my heart is.." I told them. "So.. Diggy?" they questioned me and I nodded. The boys grunted in frustration and Marie looked appalled at me. "He doesn't even talk to you" Mack spoke up. "Yeah, but..." "And he's too stubborn. He gave you the ultimatum, remember that" Tristan added. "Wait, he's headed here.." Jerome murmured to us. They all turned around, all except me and looked at Diggy who approached us at our lunch table, making it awkward for me and him and obvious we were just talking about him. I could feel his eyes and everyone else's on me as he came closer and it made me nervous. "Can I speak to Y/N for a second?" he asked and I didn't react. "No" Marie said to him. "You had all weekend and you left her hanging.." she said. Indeed it was true. "She shouldn't even wanna get back with you!" she blurted out and I again could feel Diggy's eyes on me and only me in surprise at what Marie admitted. "Leave it Marie.." I told her. "Aite" she shrugged. 

I stood up from my chair and headed outside to talk with him. "You been alright?" he asked. "What do you think?" I said almost with an attitude. "Woah.." "Sorry.." I shook my head and looked at the ground. "It's been a long day" I said. "Well, who do you choose?" he asked me and I looked at him. His bruise on his cheek was better and less purple than before and his scars on his chin, cheeks and  lip were all healing too. His face was perfect. He was perfect. Just then, Jason came heading down the corridor to me. "Y/N.." he said and Diggy took a reluctant and annoyed step back from me and towards him. "I told you to stay away from her.." he threatened Jason. "Diggy, please" I almost begged him and tugged on his arm. "Hold up.." Jason said to Diggy. "Y/N, I just came to say.. we're better off as friends" he said. It sounded like he didn't mean it and didn't want ti but he had to say it. Diggy didn't react and I barely did either. "I think that's best.." I said and he offered me a hug and I hugged him while Diggy stood there awkwardly. After that, him and Diggy looked at each other and didn't say anything after that and Jason walked away. 

"I choose you" I told Diggy. "I'm not a Pokemon" he said and I laughed a little. He smiled as I laughed and I forgot how much I loved his smile. "You're certain?" he asked. "100%. It's always been you.. from the start, you were my first crush.." I blushed and Diggy held my hands. "I'm sorry I ignored you all weekend" he apologized. "I'm sorry I caused a fight" I said to him and we hugged it out before heading back to the cafeteria. 

As we approached our table, Mack and Tristan started cheering and Kayla was smiling at us as Diggy had his arm around my shoulder as we walked together. "You back?" Kayla asked. "Yeah, we back" Diggy smiled and they all cheered for us again. I loved how supportive my friends were. "If you hurt her tho.." Marie warned him. "That won't happen, promise you that" Diggy assured her and he hugged Marie and Kayla and dapped all the guys. We got back to enjoying our lunch, talking, eating and laughing as a group, like we were a family. "What did you do with your week without me?" I asked him as I held his hand. "Oh... nothing much. Just thinking of you and missing you. I couldn't have fun" he admitted and I smiled and held his hand tighter with mine.

Midway though, some girl came and approached us at our table. Alyssa was her name. She was a Grecian girl and had olive skin, light brown hair and green eyes, she was so pretty, I kind of envied her for that! She approached our table and beckoned to Diggy to come over and he stood up. "What's going on?" I asked him and he shook his head. "Nothin" he said and walked to Alyssa. I managed to listen in on the conversation. "So.. what did you think of the weekend?" she asked in her innocent voice. "It was.. it was good" he told her and smiled. "You had fun?" she asked and bit her lip and brushed her hair over her shoulder. "Yeah I did.. that was real fun and.. interesting" he chuckled to her as if he was flirting. "But.. that can't happen again" he told her. "What can't?" I turned around and raised my voice a little. 

"Nothin babe.." Diggy tried to reassure me. "Wait, what's going on?" Mack asked. "Yeah, what?" Kayla chirped in. "What happened on the weekend that was so much fun?" I asked. I needed to know. "Nothing much" he said. "Don't play games, what happened?" I asked him. He looked at Alyssa who looked at him and they both exchanged that look of do-we-tell-them-or-not. The look I was familiar with too much. "Can I talk to you outside?" Diggy asked and gestured at me. "Whatever you have to say to me, you can say in front of all of us" I stated to him and freed myself as he tried to pull me away, I was suspicious and really wanted to know now. I turned to Alyssa and her eyes were locked with mine., but hers with uncertainty and mine with seriousness. 

"I know you can't lie to me, so what happened Alyssa?" I asked her. She couldn't lie cause I'd tear her apart later if she did. She looked at Diggy, then me and sighed. "Just say it!" I exclaimed. "We slept together" she finally said. My heart stopped beating, my mind stopped working and my mouth dropped. They did what?
