The trouble of falling in Love

Chapter 2: Jealousy

The next day at school I walked in my English class a little early and without looking around went straight down to take my seat. Mrs.Brown was as usual writing the class topic outline on the board. I took a notebook out I wanted to start writing the notes before Mrs. Brown would start lecturing, I was minding my own business when someone sitting behind tapped on my shoulder I turned around and Cici was sitting behind me, she smiled at me a gesture I never expected from her, Cici had never been anything but rude towards me, I'm sitting there looking at her my eyebrows furrowed in confusion for her sudden approach "Hi Lainey I hope you don't mind that I sit right here behind you I know this is your friend Lizzy seat but my boyfriend thought that it would be better if we sat close to you since you'll be tutoring him after school" my eyes widen in surprise I did not knew how to react the boyfriend she was talking about had to be no other than Daniel for he was the only student I had been forced to tutor, "Well Cici I'll be lying if I told you I didn't mind but it's not up to me to let you have that sit you'll have to talk to Brandon here and see if he and Lizzy want to switch seats with you" I said looking at my friend Brandon, Cici turned to the side and

she looked at the tall skinny boy that wore glasses that were bigger than his face, he was looking at her with a grumpy expression on his face I wanted to laugh, the pretty cheerleader smiled at him thinking she would gain something from it "Hi there handsome" She said trying to sound flirty, Brandon just started laughing, and Cici and I were just staring at him, after a minute he stopped noticing he had an audience since all the other students were looking at us, "I'm sorry but this is just too funny you called me

handsome, seriously? That's a real good joke thanks for trying to make

fun of me, so I'm wondering why are you trying to make conversation? You never noticed any of us losers all these years now all of the sudden you are being nice to Lainey and now your actually trying to get on my good side there must be something you want from us Ms. Popular" his expression and tone were anything but understanding, and I wanted nothing more than to high five Brandon, He had every right to act a little hostile towards her, they were always the ones to make our life difficult and it was about time we stood up to them. Cici didn't know what to say, the expression on her face was priceless "Look I'm so sorry Brandon it was never my intention to hurt you and you are right I never have bothered to socialize with other students other than my friends" did she just apologized? I was thinking to my self what happened here? where is the nasty and rude Cici we know? Brandon was taken aback by her words, I guess he was just as surprised as I was, I looked at her trying to decipher what was the purpose behind that facade of the sweet girl she was trying to portrait, she was up to something and I was going to keep a close eye on her to find the cause of her nice behavior. "Well Brandon now I have a favor to ask you see my boyfriend is a little behind on his work and he wants to sit closer to Lainey, since she is supposed to be tutoring him after school it will be just for today I promise" Brandon turned to look at me the expression on his face was quizzical like if he was asking me if I thought moving was a good idea, I shrugged my shoulders cause I didn't know what to say but deep inside I was silently begging him not to move, "Ummm I'm sorry Cecilia but I can't move, Lizzy will practically kill me if I make a decision without asking her first, it's nothing personal but I don't think she likes you very much" I sighed relieved after hearing Brandon's reply, I was sure by now Cici would be beyond mad

"Oh I see well it's okay Brandon thanks anyways" she got up from Lizzy's seat "Good bye guys, I'll see y'all around" she said completely calm and then left, I had expected for her to throw a fist or say something mean but she was acting quite the opposite, Brandon noticed it too "Was it just me or Cecilia is acting really weird today" he said while he took off his spectacles to clean them "I don't know what to say, I like the new Cici I hope this won't be another one of her tricks and she is truly trying to change" the first bell rang and Lizzy walked in with a goofy look upon her face as soon as she saw me she rushed up to her seat "Oh my God Lynn you won't believe what happened to me today?" I smiled at her "Well I won't unless you tell me, it must have been something good because you look so happy" she was jumping up and down her seat in excitement "Girl let me tell you I was running in the hallway near the office because I didn't want to be late when all of the sudden I crashed into some jerk and fell face flat on the floor, I was so embarrassed I couldn't get up, out of nowhere this gorgeous guy comes to my aid and he helps me up and picks all my stuff from the floor I was blushing like crazy but he told me not to worry and he even walked me here he said he wanted to make sure I was feeling okay" she let out a melancholic sigh "My good heavens Lynn I think I'm in love" I was happy for my friend I had never seen her so excited "And does this stranger have a name?" I asked but before she could reply, Brandon cut in our conversation "I bet you anything that she is making everything up we both know she is always dreaming maybe this is just another one of the stories she likes to write on that website what's the name wattpad or something" Lizzy looked angry, and she had every right to be she wasn't the type of girl that lied and that was one of the reasons I trusted her with my life so I didn't know why Brandon would say something like that about her "Look Brandon first of all I was talking to Lainey and second I don't care what you think about me I'm not making anything up" she rolled her eyes at him and then turned to look back at me "Like I was saying Lainey yes my Romeo has a name and it's a name fit for a prince like him, he said his name is William" for some
