Jax and I have been texting each other for a few minutes now, just joking around with each other and talking about random things. Jax said he had to do something so he said goodbye and I love you.
[Next Day]
Today I am going to see if Jax will say I love you, but I will try. I'm really nervous for this. I mean, he said it yesterday, maybe he will say it in person today.
As we got out of class it was the end of 4th period, we walked out together and we stopped to separate, as usual he gives me my hug.
Everyone around us were walking to class and it felt like it was the two of us and I felt like it was the right time. I held him arm and asked him, "Are you going to say 'I love you'?"
He looked at me for a while and I was just waiting for him to say it, but he just walked away. Leaving me heartbroken and in the middle of everything. When I collected what just happened right now, I walked to my next class.
[Couple Days Later]
Ever since the day that Jax walked away from me. We haven't talked much. Claire and I were walking around the school during lunch. We see some friends that we know and just start hanging out with them for a while. I started looking around and saw one of my friends that I have known since elementary school with Jax. I was so shocked and I told Claire to look at them. I really care about this friend and I don't want her to get hurt.
I'm planning to warn her about Jax. I know, I should be listening to my own "warning", but I really like Jax and I think that I have a chance with him. As soon as I saw her around school one time I approach her. "Hey, can I talk to you?"
"Yeah, sure. What's up?" she asked curiously.
"I just want to warn you about Jax. He's a player and since you are one of my friends, I don't want you to get hurt."
"I know, my sister and a lot of people have tried to warn me, but I think he really likes me." she replies.
"Well, I think you should really listen to them, he has a reputation of playing girls." I tried to convince her.
"Thanks, but I'm gonna stay with him." she says and leaves. Well, at least I tried. She barely knows him. She just moved into one of his classes a few weeks ago.
[Next day]
I wonder if Jax knows that he is dating one of my friends. I really don't want her to get hurt by him. As I get into 4th period, I start working with whatever Miss. Los has for me to work on. Everyone starts to come into class and Jax starts fooling around in class.
"Hey Jax, so you're dating with one of my friends?" I ask.
"You know her?! I didn't know that you know her." he replied walking closer to the desk.
"Yeah, I've known her since elementary school. Don't hurt her Jax, please. She's my friend." I told him, hopefully he takes what I said inconsideration.
I'm pretty sure that he won't listen to me anyways and hurt her. For a couple of days I would see them together and them getting all lovey dovey. I felt bad for what would possibly happen to her, but at the same time it hurt seeing them together.
A couple weeks later, as I said before, he hurt her and she didn't get to change him. No one could change a player. That person would have to be really persistent and special to change him.
{------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------}
There is an open seat next to Stephanie and we've grown closer, since I've been telling her a lot about the whole thing with Jax. One day, Jax told Miss. Los that he wanted to sit at that open seat because he wanted to see better. I don't get why because he literally sat diagonally to that seat. He was wearing his glasses. Over a few days, I would see that Jax and Stephanie were talking and passing her planner back and forth, drawing something.
Later on, I asked Stephanie about what they were talking about and she said that she was trying to teach him how to draw a heart. I saw his attempt at drawing a heart and it was pretty bad. Then, a few days later Stephanie told me that he stopped talking to her and he went back to his original seat.
She was texting me how they were talking and she started getting sad about him not talking to her anymore. She said that she thought there was something going on between them, but she thought wrong.
"I thought that you already knew what he was like. I've been telling you what he has been doing to me and Destiny." I told her.
"I know, but I just thought he really liked me or something. I thought there was something there." she said sadly.
"Oh Stephanie, I'm sorry." I tried to comfort her by hugging her.
