NOT WHAT IT SEEMS

Jace And...

"Jace..?"

"Jace what are you doing here?"

Oh God, what do I do what do I say?

"Well- er..."

What the hell! Just tell her already. Afterall you're not guilty of anything.

Yet

Shut up! shut up!

She came over and sat next to me. My nerves were now hyped.

"It's ok to admit you're here to apologise. I'm glad you listened".

Thank you...?

"This thing shouldn't drag on unnecessarily".

I felt bad. I don't deserve her.

She's nice, caring, beautiful and most of all an amazing girlfriend.
"Thanks Issabella". I smiled when she squeezed my hand. "But I thought you'd left?"

"Yeah, but then I came to talk to Riele".

"She isn't here".

Raising a smug brow, I patted his shoulder.

"I noticed, smartypants. I heard her talking with Sean so I came here to wait".

The beauty of coincidence. 

I almost puked at my her suggestive look. "What?".

"Oh come on, like you haven't noticed".

Oh I have alright I just don't feel like acknowledging it.

But I don't tell her that. I shake my head vigorously with a look I hope to be clueless.

"Nope. What did I miss?"

Either Jace is lying to me or the recent hiatus with his friends has really distracted him because he usually is the first to notice things.

"Jace, we all think they like each other"

"Why would you think that?"

Over my dead body!

"The signs are all there goofball".  I hugged him closing my eyes in a goofy smile. "Aaaa! They remind me of us, don't you think?"

She was currently giving me the looks but all I could think of was him with her and my blood starts  to boil.

"Jace? "

"Huh? "

"Don't you think? "

"Think what? "

She rolled her eyes. "Riele and Sean. They are just like us when we started falling for each other. Always hanging, holding hands and attending events together". She sang.

"I don't know Issabella". I tried not to grit out.

"I didn't even realise they had something going on".

"Poor baby". I cooed but he gave me a confused face.

"Do you want me to be here when you talk to Riele so you don't mess up again?"

No no no. Please no. I had to talk to her alone.

"Babe, it's fine. You don't have to"

"Don't be silly Jace. I want to help get back your friends so you can stop being a hermit and feeling left out".

"I know Isabella, but I have to do this alone". Really pray she doesn't insist.

For some reason Jace looks nervous and I was about to say something when Riele walked in. But she was not alone.

Their smile fade and they stared at Jace us in shock.

"Well if it isn't Nick's latest couple" Riele blushed so hard she looked flustered.

Oooohhh! Seems like somebody has a crush!

Am going to kill Issabella later but after I'm done with Sean. He refused to let go when I tried pulling my hand. Smirking  when I glared at him.

Isabella winked at me with a sly smile and I tried not to blush more.

This girl!

Alright I've had a enough. I coughed to get their attention.

More like put an end to the abomination!

What does she see in him anyways?

Calm down Jason, girlfriend beside you remember?

Right. Must act normal. "Erm,  guys? Could you give Riele and I a moment?"

"What for? So you can be a jerk all over again?" 

I know what your problem is Jace but you can forget it. 

If he thinks he can mess this up for me then he's got some serious thing coming.

I read you loud and clear Sean.

I just smile inwardly. Am glad we understand each other perfectly, buddy cuz she will be mine!

Tsk tsk tsk, bad, Jace. What abt your girlfriend?
And Sean has admitted he wants Riele!
Am sorry guys I know you expected a Jaele moment. I'll make it up in the next chapter. Comment and vote if the chapter was good enough for ya.
Thank you!
