When He Walks By

Chapter 3

Chapter 3:

"How about you stay in bed today and watch some movies and we can deal with this when I get home?" I ask.

Ava just nods her head, sniffles, and stands up. Once I help her into her bed, I hand her the remote for her t.v. and slide out of the room. Once I finish showering and drying my hair, I go down the hallway and enter my room. When I have my outfit on I say a quick goodbye to Ava and go down stairs. I arrive in the kitchen and i grab a small cup of yogurt. Once i finish I check my phone and see a text that John just arrived. I grab my bag, my phone and head out the door.

Once we arrive at school I give John a quick peck on the lips and we part ways. He said he has to talk to a teacher so he scurried off. I look around and find Kate, Holli, and Marissa gathered on a bench in front of the school. I start to walk over there when I bump into something really hard. I put a hand on my head where the impact came and look up to find Jake, with a big smirk on his face. I never really looked but he is actually pretty cute, even with his tattoos. ugh what am I thinking?! We are talking about the kid who beat someone up until they PASSED OUT! I mean who does that?! I guess Jake. Great, now I'm talking to myself.

"See something you like?" He says with that smirk still plastered on his face. I can feel my cheeks starting to heat up. How long was I staring?

"Not at all." I say in my rudest tone, and I stomp off. I finally make it over to the bench where my friends are sitting and sit down on the end next to Marissa. When we hear the bell to get to our lockers we say our goodbyes and part ways. I get my books from my locker for my first hour. I sit down in the assigned seat I got yesterday and start to lay my books out when I remember Jake. He sits right behind me this hour. ugh this is gonna be embarrassing. I pull my history book out when I hear him sit down.

"Hey babe." Jake whispers.

"You wish!" I snap and he just chuckles and places his books on his desk. I turn around and huff. I dont know why but this boy is so annoying. When there are about 10 minutes left of class Jake leans over and whispers in my ear.

"You might want to keep an eye on your boyfriend, John, he is up to some trouble I think." I can just hear the smirk in his voice. And what does he mean trouble. John is the best boyfriend I have had in years. He isn't up to any trouble. He isn't like that. Jake is just trying to get in your head.

I ask the history teacher if I can go to the bathroom and he just nods and continues our first lesson. I just need to clear my head. Breath in, and out. In and out. In and o- "OH MY GOD!! JOHN IS THAT YOU!?" I scream. I can't beleive the sight in front of me. John and another girl in our grade are pressed up against the lockers Making out! My heart is racing and my face is heating up by the second. I bet I look like a tomato but I couldn't care less.

"I-uh-um.." John stutters.

"Forget it! We are through! Jake was right." I whisper the last part so he can barely hear me, and I storm off back to the history classroom, leaving him bright red standing there alone since the other girl scurried off when I started screaming. The bell rings and I gather my stuff and rush to my locker. Luckily the day goes by pretty quick and before I know it I am in the car riding home with Holli because I can't have John take me home anymore. Once I arrive at my house I open the door to a very worried looking mom and a crying little sister. I guess mom found out about Ava being pregnant. This day is just not going very well for me.
