Is This a Love Life?

Just Him

Chapter 2: Just Him

*Jesse POV

Here I still confused with myself for not doing anything when she bumped into me. I couldn’t do much really. I needed to get to the science building since I went into the wrong building, and I didn’t have much free time to have small talk. Luke was lecturing me, over something as insignificant as that. Man, sometimes he treats me like he’s my dad. Just over not talking to a girl. Really, didn’t he have something more important to do?

“I thought I taught you better than that to get a girl?” he whined while putting his hand on my shoulder, and staring at me in my eyes. “Well what would you’ve done? Huh? All we that happened is we crashed into each other. That’s it nothing spectacular.” He rolled his eyes as a response.

This is my best friend Luke. He knows everything about me. My whole life story, my family and occasionally the rare crush. We’ve been friends since the 8th grade and he’s been through everything since then with me. He helps me out with my problems that I have at home, school, or with a girl. Like in this situation. We never really focused on this topic before, because he knew how I was with all the love and crush stuff. I’ve had crushes and girlfriends before. But none of them lasted, they all dumped ME.  So Luke is all I have left relating to that mess.

Luke. The dude has had over 13 girlfriends before, regarding his looks; let’s just say that he has never been single for more than a week. So should I listen and hope my ears don’t die during the lecture. When he talks about serious topics like this, he has like a whole speech written in his head. By speech, I mean it could go for like 15 minutes with just him talking and me just nodding and slowly trying to rip my ears off. There should be a mute button on him, so like he still gets his point out, but doesn’t have to torture everyone around him.

“Listen to me! Earth. To. Jesse! Is anyone in there?!” he screamed in my ears.

Too late, my ears died. Note to self: yell in Luke’s ears later.

“Yes, you’ve reached Jesse Carter’s line how may I help you?” I answered, trying my best to have a girly voice. He just knocked on my head! Which hurt but I stayed strong. Anyway, I guess he answered my question

if I should listen to him or not. Right, with him yelling in my ears?  “What do you want me to do?”  I tried to ask him without screaming in his ears. He had a little smirk appearing on his lips so I knew that he wanted me to do something.

“Well you could meet with her at lunch and ask her out?” he whispered in my ear. One second he is yelling at me and now he is whispering to me? What’s up with him today, maybe something is wrong?  “What are you crazy?! Do you need to go to the nurse? You know what, don’t answer that.” I told him while dragging him towards the direction of the nurse’s office. He needs to get his head checked; because he is not being- wait he did something! “Luke what did you do?”

“Nothing, just that I may have, possibly, told her best friend, Lindy, to tell Jane that you wanted to talk and ask her something at lunch.” Trailing off with his words, he looked down at his shoes. Wait what did he just say?  After taking a second to comprehend what he said, and then fully realizing that he wanted me to talk to JANE!

“WHAT THE! Ugh, Luke, I thought I told you that you could help me. But not make any choices, or talk to any of the girls without me frigging knowing. Epically, with someone like Jane. How could you?” Taking out my frustration, by yelling at him with some tears welling in my eyes and me flailing out my arms in all different directions.

Ok, I wasn't crying. I- I was just really, really, mad and 

was sweating through my eyes. But the weird thing was I kind of wanted him to do something crazy like this. So was I happy, is that what I was feeling.  But wasn’t I supposed to be mad because I did tell Luke not to tell any of the girls (I liked) anything without me knowing first.

Great, just great. Now at lunch I have to go and talk to Lindy. Wow, the one day I decide to dress lazy.

“Well, um, I will leave you too your thoughts; and I will see you at lunch. Okay bye.” Walking backwards and leaving me in my awkward silence. I’m surprised that no one in the halls did anything. I guess they were just used to all mine and Luke’s arguing and weird moments.

Okay so this was the second chapter and if you didn’t notice, in the media section is a picture of how I think Jesse would look. So I hope you enjoy this book so far. <3

Also I know that it is short but it is just a small chapter to tell you how he was and why Lindy was going crazy.
