Beautiful Distraction

Chapter 12

Chapter 12:

My mind was racing on the way to school, whats going to happen if someone figures out what happened? What happens if someone doesn't? What happens after school?

I have to keep my cool. The only person that knows about this is Ally, she can NOT tell anybody about this and I have to make sure she doesn't.

As I head into the school, I try to keep my head down and stay out of everybodys way.

As I reach my locker I feel someone eyeing me. But I shrug it off, I don't want to take any risks.

But then someone taps my shoulder, I guess Ill have to turn around for this.

I turn around trying to make myself invisible but of course that doesn't happen.

Its Jason.

"Jade what happened to you??" He asks, worry in his eyes.

I try to act dumb. "I told you I was sick yesterday, now Im here." I say, shutting my locker and walking past him.

"No Jade I mean you're cheek." He cradles my face with both his hands. I feel butterflies set off in me, I feel myself grinning by his touch but quickly remove it, containing my excitment. 

"Oh, I fell down the stairs! I giggle, I'm pretty clumsy." 

He eyes me, "Fell down the stairs huh? he raises his eyebrow. He looks like he's not buying it, still inspecting my face. Then he removes his hands from my face. Well know I know i need to go to the store after school and purchase foundation.

"Yup, thats what I said." 

I see Connie from the corner of my eye and I think about turning away as fast as I can but its no use, shes already seen me with Jason.

She glares at me and heads towards us, fast.

I look at Jason.

"Um Jason I better go-"

"What are you doing talking to MY boyfriend?" Connie yells. I swear Connie can get ticked off real easily.

"I-"

Jason turns to face Connie, cutting me off.

"Jade is my friend, and I'm talking to her in the hallway, like a friend." He makes her sound really stupid I can't help but chuckle.

"Ew what the hell is on your face? she asks, looking disgusted. "Well, the red spot on your cheek, not the rest of the mess."

What a bitch.

"Hah you're funny." I sarcasticlly grin.

"Well you never answered my question." 

Jason joins back in before I can open my mouth. I swear he always jumps in the conversation at the right time.

"She hurt herself, and I'm taking her to the nurse." he says, grabbing my hand and turning back to Connie. "Oh, and were over Connie. I only dated you for, well, you, but now you've changed so much I don't want anything to do with you anymore." He turns and walks away with me hand and hand to the nurse's office.

I can hear Connie whining in the background but I block it out by the thought of Jason holding my hand.

He's such a gentlemen.

He's such a babe.

He's... single.
