hatred // chris schistad

five.

'hei alex!' says jonas with a smile as he opens the front door and lets her in.

'i looked for you at lunch time but couldn't find you anywhere. so i asked the girls and they said you were on a date with some guy.

'a date? no, i wasn't on a date. i just met up with a guy for some lunch, that's all.' says alex with a small smile.

'oh, do i know him?' asks jonas as he gets his history book out of his school bag.

'yes, he goes to our school, he's in the thirteenth grade.' she asks sitting down next to him and putting her bag on the table.

'oooh a ninety seven, what's his name?' he asks looking at her. she looks at him and sighs.

'penetrator chris.' she says and he looks at her shock.

'the penetrator chris? as in chris schistad?' he asks, she replies by a nod. jonas stays silent and just looks at alex confused.

'what?'

'sorry, i'm just slightly confused at why chris would do something so normal with a girl. he's never the type of guy to just go out and meet a girl for lunch.'

'i was reading my book earlier and he just came up to me and apologized and asked me if i we could try and be friend. i thought okay no harm in that so i asked him if he wanted to grab some food or something so we did.' she explains.

'anyways enough about chris, what is about the history you don't understand?' she asks him changing the subject.

while alex is explaining the history lesson, jonas can't help but admire her face.

'jonas, are you even concentrating?'

'ja beklager.' he replied before she continues to explain.

all jonas can think about it is the thought of alex and chris. jonas knows more about chris and how he is compared to alex. chris already ruined jonas's relationship with eva. chris always get his way and by the sounds of it, he wants alex. chris knows how to make a girl feel like a princess but then leaves her like a piece of trash on the street.

alex deserves better, she deserves someone who can listen to her talk about her passion for bands or books for hours on end. she needs someone to  make her laugh, make her smile and to make her happy. she needs someone to remind her how beautiful and incredible she is.

she needs someone like jonas.

'you need to stop talking to chris.' blurts out jonas. alex stops writing and looks up at jonas confusingly.

'what?' she asks.

'you need to stop talking to penetrator chris. look alex, you've been here nearly a month but trust me you don't want to go out with chris.'

'and when did i ever say i wanted to date chris? all we did was take a walk and grab a burger.'

'but i know chris and i know what he does! he makes girls believe things, make them fall in love and then just breaks their heart. you don't deserve that.'

'it's none of your business with who i hang out with. and chris hasn't said anything like that, he just wants to be friends.'

'chris doesn't have friends that are girls.'

'jonas! it has nothing to do with you who i hang out with! and you don't hang out with chris yourself, how do you know what he is actually like? you hear shit about him but unless you've spoken to him, how do you actually know?' says alex, her voice getting higher as she looks at him.

jonas knows she's right, but just the thought of him and alex hanging out makes him feel slightly sick.

jonas doesn't say anything else before leaning in and kissing her.

alex looks at jonas in shock and anger before putting her stuff away and grabbing her bag.

'i have to go.'

❁ ❁

'he kissed you?' says eva in shock.

alex didn't know what to do after jonas kissed her, her first reaction was to call noora and the girls as they all gathered in her bedroom at her house.

'what did you say afterwards?'

'i just said, i have to go then i left.' says alex shrugging.

'did you feel anything when you kissed him? like any sparks or anything.' asks vilde.

'well no, i was just in shock to feel anything else.' says alex.

'girls, you're missing it all.' says sana speaking up.

'jonas obviously felt jealous by the fact alex was with chris at lunch time. he kept asking her the questions about what they did because he was jealous. and also he was saying all the "don't be friends" with chris because, once again, he is jealous. it's jealousy. he rather has feelings for alex or he just really hates chris. the first option is more likely.' says sana.

eva tenses up and quickly death glares alex but thankfully no one notices.

'wait you think jonas might have feelings for me?'

'it's more than 'i think', i'm ninety percent sure.' says sana.

'how and why?' asks alex making sana roll her eyes.

'you may be gorgeous but you're oblivious. look, he asked you to help him with his history when you're not even in his class. he practically comes and talks to you every morning. and don't even get me started on his body language. if he talks about something, you're the person he always looks at. see i notice all these stuff.' says sana.

'why didn't you tell me any of this?'

'well i didn't think you were interested in jonas! and also a guy doesn't just go around kissing a girl like that. unless you're a penetrator of course.' says sana.

'also the other question we're not asking her is do you have feelings for jonas?' asks vilde looking up at alex.

'no! he's a great friend and he makes me laugh but no. i mean i didn't pull back from the kiss but no i don't have feelings for him.' says alex shaking her head.

'do you have feelings for penetrator chris then?' eva speaks up for the first time since she got here, alex looks at eva and raises her eyebrows.

'no, what makes you think that?'

'well i don't know you both seem to be getting close and all. with him buying you lunch and apologizing, i can't be the only one who thinks something is going on.'

'eva does have a point, you and chris are getting pretty close.' says noora in agreement.

'look i don't like jonas and i don't like chris! if i can't be friends with boys then i won't bother talking to them again.'

and with that the room went silent.
