I Hate My Life? • Jachary AU

Chapter 2

JACK

"Hey bro ready for the big game tomorrow," said my best friend Daniel who came up beside me as I headed to my locker. "Yeah bro," I say sounding all hype. Sometimes it hard when people look up to me as the school big shot but honestly if I don't work my ass off then I can end up working at Taco Bell next year. Yeah I think not.

I live a pretty good life, make good grades, have parents who adore me and spoil me sometimes. I'm also apparently "the hottest and most popular kid in our grade." I also am the star basketball player who is apparently leading their team to states. Wow I actually have a life. Oh yeah I also have one smoking hot girlfriend who is really nice and sometimes what up people but that's beside the point.

Oh here she comes now. As I watch her strut to my locker and she comes up and locks lips with me. We don't go on a full out make out session because Addison doesn't like PDA. Gosh darn it I always like to get hot and heavy. So we made a compromise and every time we see each other we greet each other with a kiss.

The bell rang so she asks, "see you at lunch?" "Yeah I have a spot for you right on my lap," I say with a wink. I walk into class and I sit one row from the back because their always someone sitting there since I don't get to class on time.

I keep get this feeling that someone is staring at me. Like I should feel fine because a bunch of people stare at me because I'm hot but like this is different. So I turn around and I see this guy staring at me. He has dark brown hair and brown eyes, I think his name is Zach. But as soon as he sees me looking at him he looks down. I don't know why maybe he doesn't think I know he is staring at me. Anyways I also hear light moans from the desk beside him.

I look to see these two guys making out. It's Corbyn and Jonah, the openly gay couple. I don't think to much about it because I'm okay with it I guess. I just know that I like girls and probably never like a guy in my life. Never had and never will. I then feel those pair of eyes on me again and I look at him and smile before I turn completely around to face the front of the class. Well at least I'm trying to be a nice asshole. I actually try to be chill. Just don't get on my fucking nerves.

The bell soon rings and I'm off to lunch. I don't get to lunch in a hurry because it doesn't really matter. I usually have Addison bring me my food. As I sit down at the table I feel eyes on me but this time it's the usual like I'm pretty sure a lot of the lunch room is staring at me. Then within a flash I feel someone on my lap. It's Addison, my bitch actually she really isn't with my lunch.

"So I was thinking maybe we could come to my house today," she says touching my chest with her finger kind of playfully poking me. "I talk in her ear pretty husky, "you know I would but I have practice today and a family dinner I need to be at but maybe tomorrow after the game." She giggles and says, "but I hear Daniel throwing a party." "Well you know I'm already there."

I'm sweating a lot but I love it . I love the rush I get whenever I finally get to play basketball. We're having a mini scrimmage right now and I'm dribbling down the court and going for the three. It goes swish, all net I really do love it. It is like my safe place being on the court and blocking everyone out.

A whistle is blown and that's our signal that practice is over. Coach says, " BIG game tomorrow rest and be ready." Then we get in a huddle and say "LIONS." I usually stay after practice to do a couple drills so I just watch everyone leave.

That's when I get tackled on the floor. It Daniel, that little bitch, "Daniel what the fuck," I say chuckling. Daniel laughs and gets off me while giving me a hand, "I thought maybe we could practice together for once in a long time."
"Yeah let's play one on one be ready to go down asshole," I say giving him a playful glare and a smirk.

I take my shirt off because I'm sweating so much, it's just me and Daniel, well except that one kid who sits on bleachers. I wonder if he is even here today. I look up and sure enough it's Zach, I don't even know why he's here he just is. He thinks he's invisible but I can see him and I want to go question him but I don't.

I'm drinking some water and Daniel is giving me this stare. So I say, "Don't be a faggot quit looking at me." Daniel laughs, "oh yeah right I was totally checking you out because you look so god damn hot," he said sarcastically. That causes both of us to laugh. I was walking back to the court and then I got plowed to the ground.

Owww. I look up to see the boy from the bleachers, Zach straddling me. He's blushing and has his hands on my bare chest, we make eye contact and I just look at him. He then looks down and stares at my chest and says, "I'm sorry." He says it so softly I almost didn't hear him. "It's ok man just look where you going next time," I say as he gets off me. As I stand up I give him a once over and notice his shoes. He is wearing checkerboard vans so I try to be nice and say, "hey cool shoes." "Oh thanks," he says nervously and he starts to walk off in a hurry. I just watch him walk off. There something about him that is different but I don't think to much about it because I don't even know him.
