The Ponytail Stranger

The Secret(Jay's P.O.V.)

"Hey I'm going to go grab some drinks from the vending machine in the next hall over, want anything?" Aaron asked as he stood up.
"Sure, a cola would be fine!" Nev smiled and nudged him. I hated when she did that. Aaron and Nev are so close, and multiple people say they would make a good couple. Which, although I hate to admit it, is true. They would be cute together, she acts relatively flirty around him, or at least comfortable enough to be so close and touchy with him. She nudges him, hugs him, shoves him jokingly. I mean I guess its normal, but I can't help but be jealous.
"Jay do you want anything?" Aaron snapped me back to reality.
"Oh, uh sure, a cranberry-raspberry juice is fine." I smiled at him warmly, he smiled back, which warmed my heart, I felt amazing at that moment, like nothing else mattered, then I realized that I was staring, and he was staring at me, for almost a full minute. I felt my face heated up involuntarily and I turned away.
"O-okay then, see ya in a few minutes then!!" He laughed nervously and briskly walked off. I sighed, then suddenly Nev jumped to the seat directly in front of me so we were facing each other. I gave her a confused look, she just smiled.
"What was that?" She raised an eyebrow. It took me a minute to realize what she meant, then I blushed.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, I knew, but I was pretending I didn't. If she really does like him, she would be furious to know I like him too.
"You know exactly what I mean!!" She smiled and bounced a bit, it was weird, as if maybe she thought that weird staring thing was a good thing, or maybe she was talking about something else.
"Uhhh..." I gave her another confused look, that way I don't say the wrong thing in case she was talking about something else.
"You totally have a crush on Aaron!!" She squealed quietly, so no one but us could hear.
"Wha- how d-did you k-know?!" I felt my face turn into fire.
"Well for one thing your as red as a tomato, and two, you stared at him for such a long time!! I mean, who does that unless they like the person?!" She laughed and smiled at me.
"Okay, so you know now, dont tell him pleeeeaaasssee!! In fact, dont tell anyone..you know how that would go..you dont hate me now do you?!" I plead to her. At this point I think she didnt like him in that way, she was too excited about me liking him for her to like him.
"Nah, I would never hate you! You are much too cute to hate!" She smiled at me.
"T-thanks. But, why don't you hate me? Everyone hates people that aren't Following..the rules." I looked to the side and felt a cold drop of sweat slide down the side of my face.
"Well let's just say I have broken a few rules..one of them being the same as the one your breaking. Of course I've broken alot of rules though." She laughed and winked at me.
"Although I'm just getting started." Nev. Turned around to look at Aaron who was walking towards us, he was quite a distance a way still.
"What do you mean?" I asked quickly before Aaron was in earshot.
"You'll see." She said and greeted Aaron.
