Jealous *ON HOLD*

It's Rather Odd

"Grant or me?" Seth asked.

"Sorry?" I responded, gobsmacked.

"Grant or me?" He repeated.

"I...um...um..." I stuttered. Why is this so hard? It should obviously be Grant. Right? "Well, Grant. I've had a crush on him for years. What we have is just fake, so it would be useless if I felt anything towards you."

"Oh," Seth said emotionless, "I need to go." And just like that he was gone. The door slammed behind him.

I heard a soft knock on my door.

"Come in!" I called.

"Hey, honey, why did Seth just storm out? He looked upset," my mom asked.

"It was nothing," I lied.

"If you're sure..." she trailed off.

"I am."

"Okay then. Dinner will be ready in 10," she said, lingering at the door before leaving.

"Right."

The next day at school was really awkward. Like REALLY awkward. I got into class like three seconds before the bell rang, so I only had one seat choice. The seat in between Grant and Seth. Shit. The bell rang and Mr. Bodi stormed in the room. He's angry. Shit.

"OUT OF MY 300 PAPERS, 10 MANAGED TO GET A'S!" he screamed, "ONLY ONE MANAGED A 100! DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHICH GROUP THAT IS?!?"

We all looked around. Well, I didn't. I didn't want to catch Seth's eye.

"The person who got 100 was ..."

C'mon dude say my name.

"Alaina and Nathan!"

My jaw dropped. Actually?!? Is he serious right now?

Everyone turned their heads to glare at me. Suck it, bitches.

That was me in my head. In real life I was cowering in my seat from the attention. I risked a glance at Seth. He stared ahead with a hard glare. I then risked a glance at Grant. He was beaming at me.

Weird.
-

After history, I had a free period. I didn't really know where to go due to the fact Seth and I were not speaking for some unknown reason. Suddenly someone pulled me into an empty classroom.

"What the fuck is going on with you and Seth?!?" someone hissed at me. Kayla.

"Four score and sev-" I started.

"Don't give me that shit. Tell me what happened!" She demanded.

"Fine! Basically, we were playing truth or dare, Seth asked me if I would choose him or Grant, I said Grant, he got pissed, and here we are. It's rather odd, actually. Now, please let go of my arm. It's dying." She let go of my arm and glared at me.

"Let me get this straight. He asked you a question that had to do with his mission and you answered the question truthfully and he still got mad at you even though he knew the answer to said question?" She said in one run-on sentence. I visibly cringed.

"Yes."

"Oh that little bitch. Wait till I get him. I'll chop his balls off, feed them to-"

"OKAY. DO NOT NEED TO GO THERE!" I cut her off.

She just shrugged and we talked a bit for the rest of the period. It was then off to science.

-

Grant and I decided to meet after school today. We walked together to lunch. I saw Steph but no Seth. I shrugged it off and sat.

When Seth didn't arrive for the whole lunch, I got a bit concerned.

"Where's Seth?" I asked.

"No clue," Steph responded. "He said he had to do something after class and then left."

Weird.

The bell rang and I went to my next three classes. None of which were with my friends.

-

Stares. As the day went on, there were more. More stares. More whispers.

At first, I thought it was because of the grade Nathan and I got on our papers.
Until Kayla stormed over to me and hugged me.

"I'm so sorry," she said to me. I was utterly confused. "The- "

"Why?" I asked, gently pushing her away.

She suddenly turned deadly pale. Her blue eyes widened as she pushed me away.

"You mean...," she paused, then asked, nervously, "you don't know?"

"Know what?" I asked, urgently.

If it was possible, I think she turned paler.

"THAT SON OF A BITCH! He hasn't even told you?"

"Who?" I asked, getting a bad feeling in my gut.

She cringed, but was about to tell when Steph marched up to us.

"I'm so sorry," she said, genuinely, "I can't believe he would do that do you."

"Right? I'm going to go strangle him with my own hands if I ever see him come near you," Kayla replied, clenching her hands into a fists at her sides.

I've had enough of this.

"WHO?" I demanded, a little too loudly.

Steph and Kayla glanced at each other and told me.

"Seth cheated on you," they said together.

-

Hey y'all. Oh my god, that sounded so southern. Anyway... sorry about how that was legit the shortest chapter ever. And how their relationship was legit the shortest relationship ever.

So which side are you on now? Grant or Seth? I mean I know my side, but I also know how this story is going to turn out...
mwahahahahahaha. I'll stop now.

Okay so I'm super happy right now because I just had an idea for the bonus chapter. No, I haven't forgotten about that.

Also, BAND TRIP IS IN LIKE, A MONTH AND A HALF!!! SUPER EXCITED BECAUSE WE IS GOING TO UNIVERSAL ORLANDO, AND I LOVE HARRY POTTER!!

On an unfortunate note, I'm basically failing geometry.

VOTE. COMMENT. ANOTHER ONE I DON'T REMEMBER.

Thanks.

Much love,

Abby
