Down To You[Wattys2017]

Chapter19

Jacob was sitting on a wooden bench, "Can I sit here?" I ask.

He looked up, narrowing his eyes suspeciously but nods.

"You did great today. You won the game" I started chatting while I sit next to him but he decided to keep silent. He seems quite gloomy which makes me realiazed he's upset that he is not the centre of attention anymore. He still got fans and all but he just wasn't no.1 anymore. It must hurt his pride since he's the 'cool' QB and was always no.1 since he arrived here.

"Did you see Logan today? I still don't get football but I do know he scored alot. Everyone is still talking about him" I tested him a little and take a quick glance at him to see him clench his jaw and his body stiffen.

Ooh! He mad! And I'm damn good at getting at him. I'm Bad! I try to hold back my smile.

Megamind suddenly came to my mind. I mentally dance like him. I'm bad! I'm bad uh uh-

Serves you right you little two face, two timer dick.

Ok. Snap out of it. Time to carry on with the plan.

"But look, jock to jock, the thing that even I get is Logan scored only cause you passed him the ball!" Half truth. Logan's powerful and his hard work pay off but now I need to just play along. And seems like it works as his eyes widen and filled with light. "They are blinded by his beauty" of course they will be, he's prettier than you, let's face it, "I mean you take part in his glory. It's all about teamwork anyway. It's not important for everyone to know but it's important for you to know. Just be proud of it and laugh off their remarks cause people can't appreciate what they don't understand"

Damn, I'm even bad at these type of talk. That sounds cheesy. But I turn to fake a smile at him only to see him smiling wide at me. It's actually genuine!

I blinked to see if I'm mistaken. Nope I'm not. Did he honestly think I meant those words? After all he had done to me? Crap. He's stupid. I guess I boost his ego good. Another thing that caught me off guard were his eyes. I see adoration.

Now his jerky self disappear and look like that sweet, honest guy I fell in love with.

I remember the first time I met him, it one of those cliche first meet. He was surround by some guys, smiling politely at everyone who talks to him. I was infatuated. Our eyes lock for a moment and me being me, easily falling for someone take that as a sign and crush on me.

I later get to know his identity so I never dream him to be interested in me. But he was, he chased me. I thought he'd get bored soon but he was quite serious. He even ask me out in front of everyone. That was the most romantic thing that ever happened to me so I said yes.

Things were awesome for a couple of months, he was sweet and considerate. I didn't know when that changed. It seemed so sudden. One thing let to another. Then the cheating happens.

"Thank you"

"What? Oh...Welcome"

"You look pretty tonight " he had the nerve to look up and down my body with desire in his eyes. "Why were you never like this before? You know things might have worked out if you were like this"

How dare he! Now all the compassion I felt for him went down the drain. God! Such a jerk. He only care about looks. I want to hit him with something. God! What about the stone I'm currently stepping on? I could just hit him and run.

I look around for any eye witnesses. It's clear.

"Are you into geology?"

"What?" Fortunately for him he snapped me out of my murderous thoughts.
