I Peed Myself In Front Of My Crush

Chapter 22: You're Supposed to be Broken

I walked into school with a yawn escaping my lips as I dreadfully walked towards my locker. And the good news was that I didn't carpool with anyone. Yay!

My car, which had been absent for quite some time had finally been delivered and my happiness was at its peak when my mom told me that it had arrived early in the morning.

But, while I had this happiness that kept me from being grumpy, there was also that nagging in my head which kept reminding me of last night and how much of a wreck it was.

Not to mention how Bridget and I had found ourselves alone once again and she had managed to confess her love to me again, as if she hadn't before.

I was beginning to understand why love was so shitty for some people. It was really tiring. Loving someone, and being loved back.

As I got to my locker, my eyes caught a certain dark-haired girl who was standing by her own locker with her attention solely on her phone. I didn't mind that she hadn't seen me yet, but what I did mind was how I couldn't take my eyes off her.

She looked cute in her dress and jean jacket. And her hair looked really thick and black. Her cheeks looked so cute and full, made me want to—

Snap out of it, Jade.

Shaking my head frantically, I tore my eyes away from the dark-haired girl and towards my own locker. I heard a slight pounding in my ears and it took me only a moment to realize that it was my heart which was beating erratically, maybe because I was scared of being caught staring at Bridget, and because I didn't want her to see me and then come running to me.

Her face reminded me of last night, and I groaned loudly before resting my head inside my locker.

Last night. Oh, how I would love to forget the night even happened in the first place.

Mom had forced me to walk Bridget to her car which was practically parked in front of our house. Like, if she walked precisely 18 steps, she'd be standing just beside it. But, no, mom had to order me to walk her to it. As if, someone would kidnap her if she wasn't accompanied by me.

Bridget looked cold as we walked to her car, with me walking a little faster since I wanted nothing more than to go to my room and sleep like it was the end of the world. However, Bridget walked as slow as possible, as she even looked around the neighborhood with interested eyes.

I rolled my eyes when she shivered a little, but refused to walk the 11 more steps faster.

I had gotten to her car and was just waiting for her when a part of me smacked me across the head and began to lecture me about chivalry, as I watched Bridget shiver slightly.

Since, I was wearing a jacket and the night was cold, and also because she was only in jean shorts and a t-shirt, I offered her my jacket and you know what else I did. No. Well, I draped the jacket over Bridget's shoulders when she had walked all those 18 steps.

And after that, I also had the courage to rub her arms to warm them up, and while I was doing all of this unconsciously, I had my heart beating wildly and my brain malfunctioning.

"T-thanks." Her whisper broke me out of my daze, and I immediately stepped away from her.

"Uh – I didn't mean that."

She nodded her head but her face said otherwise as she smiled and blushed at me. Ugh, why was communicating with her so hard? Why was she so hard? Why am I such a dumb-dumb?

Questions that may never be answered.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow?" Her statement came out as a question as she looked at me with her blue eyes that seemed to sparkle in the night and I gulped audibly before nodding reluctantly.
