The Player and the Played

9. Jealousy Is A Bitch

Zac's POV
I can't believe I was missing out on this. I would finally get to meet Hailey after we broke up a month back. Sure, she may have come with Tyler but she'll come back to me. She will. Any other girl would. Especially if she finds out. But first I think she may fall for Tyler and when she falls, I won't let him catch her. I will. It's so perfect.

Ty:
We've reached
Me:
We're running late coming in around an hour.

Fuck traffic. An hour later we reached. I heard a laugh. It was her laugh. I could recognise it anywhere. Every time before she laughed, she'd gasp a little, inaudible as though she was surprised. Lana never laughs genuinely. She sounds like the bitch queen of hyenas when she laughs. But whatever. She's a good kisser and she's willing to stay up all night unlike the virgin I'm in love with. Okay so Hailey isn't actually a virgin. She's had sex but she waits for a really long time and as a guy, I couldn't wait around. She should have expected me to bang someone else. Besides, I do love her. She's hotter than most girl, she just doesn't show it.

I tried not to stare at her. Not because she was my ex and it would be embarrassing but because she was with my best friend. Tyler. And they were laughing and she was happy. She never seemed so happy when I was with her. Jealousy is such a bitch. I would have beaten up Tyler if they hadn't come towards us that moment. They were eating ice cream together. I tried ignoring the pang of jealousy I felt.

"Hey Hailey"
"What do you want, Zac"
Ouch that hurt but I couldn't let my cocky facade drop for even a second. She'd fall for me this time and I won't let her go. Otherwise she's fall for Tyler and he'd break her heart so she'd come running back to me. Girls. So predictive and easy to manipulate.

Alec's POV

Selena and I never ran out of things to talk about. Even if we were debating on whether dogs liked chocolate or not. Of course dogs liked chocolate, I mean, everyone likes chocolate. Selena is so wrong. Dogs can eat chocolate. How can it be harmful? While we're on that topic, I wonder...

"Do you think ducks like chocolate?"I asked Selena.
She laughed. "I don't know, maybe they could try it." I think I even heard her mumble that I was cute. I'm not really sure what happened because one moment we were arguing about which animal liked chocolate and the next, we were kissing. It was a sweet slow and short kiss at first and I'm pretty sure I started it but then it got deeper. A chorus of voices was heard in the background. It all blurred and only Sel remained, my best friend who I kind of liked for a really long while. I even heard Hailey and Tyler. I smirked against her lips. I don't care if they see us. I don't care if the whole world sees us. I just don't care.

Tyler's POV

<authors note- Tyler's POV I gonna be kept short because I don't want to give out any spoilers. Not really>

Every second I spent with Hailey was like torture. It made me feel bad for her. I could see why Zac liked her. She was sweet and drop dead Gorgeous. She was also really smart and sarcastic. I felt guilty about what I was doing but I guess she's different. She knows what type of dickhead I am and she won't fall for me. That's good. She doesn't deserve such a jerk but at the same time I kind of wish she did.

A/N
Totally a filler chapter. My brain cells are dying because it's exam week and I have two days left. I'm so impatient. Aghhh!!!
Anyway, what do you guys think of Alec and Selena (Alina? Idk what the ship name should be)

And what about Zac. He thinks he really likes Hailey but he's just a jerk. This whole chapter was just what yet thought about the day. I'll go back to Haileys POV in the next chapter.
