Chapter Twenty Two - The Little Hope In Me

Ｊａｋｅ'ｓ Ｐｏｖ

"Hey," Amber greets me with a smile. "Good morning."

"Good morning," I smile back.

Ever since we had that talk last week, we have been really close as friends.

"What do you have next class?" I ask her.

"Biology. You?" She asks back.

"History," I sigh. "Got to head to class so see you!"

"Yeah, later," She walks away but I stick to my place, yawning. I hadn't slept well last night.

I turn and was about to walk away, but I notice Avery bumping into Amber on purpose.

"Oops, watch your step, bitch," Avery snaps.

Amber rolls her eyes but doesn't say anything.

Both her and I never had the guts to do anyway, since we knew that it was not Avery's fault that she had changed.

But it's time something is done about that.

Avery walks past me with her head up high, looking like a snobby rich spoilt girl.

I grab her wrist.

"What the?" She turns to me. "Let me go!"

I drag her to an empty classroom.

"What the fuck?" She snarls. "Why did you drag me here, you jerk?"

"Shut up!" I yell fiercely, making her flinch.

"You know what, Avery?" I start, my anger reaching it's point. "Stop all this! Drop this whole I-don't-care-I'm-rich-and-popular act, because I know that this is not the real you! And can't you just forgive me and Amber? I was drunk and it was a mistake! I'm really sorry!"

"You think it's that easy?" She scowls. "You don't know how heartbroken I was when I saw my boyfriend who I had really loved making out with my best friend!"

I wince. "I get it! But why don't you forgive Amber? She did nothing wrong to you! It was me who forced her!"

"Sure, but that's not as easy as it sounds!" She basically screams.

"It's fine if it takes you time to forgive us, but at least, stop being such a mean girl to Amber! She doesn't deserve it!" I yell.

"Oh, don't tell me you fell in love with her?" She rolls her eyes.

"What? No!" I exclaim in disbelief. "The only girl I have ever loved is you!"

She freezes.

"But the Avery now, isn't the Avery I fell in love with," I mutter bitterly and leave the classroom.

I glance back once before walking away.

Her eyes were filled with tears threatening to spill any moment.

Good to know that she still has feelings and emotions.

I grumble as I enter the school.

I really, really, really didn't want to come but I had to.

I look around for Mia and Jake but I don't spot them.

I spot a certain somebody though, who I didn't want to see.

Ray spots me too and we gaze at each other's eyes for some seconds before I turn and walk to my next class.
